Former Argo Hall of Famer James Quick Parker Passes Away

You’ve hit the nail on the head Angelo, defensive schemes are much more complex and attack oriented than they were in the past which in turn have necessitated adjustments (check downs etc) to avoid sacks.

I would agree with this also. The 1980s had lots of wide open football. My memory may be playing tricks on me but it did seem like 2nd and long was much easier to convert in those days than it is today.

I have split the off topic stuff into a new thread in the CFL room.

Felt it was appropriate given the topic of the post.
