Tim, have you done a piece on the changes in the blocking rules? What I remember from late 50s to early 60s was hands on chest and elbows down. How did the rules evolve?
I've included it in bits and pieces, but I should do a consolidated story on the restrictions in blocking rules. It will take more than one episode but will be worth it.
Would also be nice to see an update on the so far unsuccessful campaign to correctly label the "Lockney Lines." Broadcasters still call them hashmarks, which as you have written are something else, still exist, but preceded the Lockney Lines.
It would also be nice to see an update on the failed campaign to correctly label the Lockney Lines, which broadcasters still erroneously call "hashmarks." Matbe your readers should be reminded that the hash marks are still there, but preceded Lockney Lines.
That would be fun to read. Geezers like me are amazed at what linemen get away with under today's rules. I assume there wasn't a single switch, but rather an ev(or "de")olution.
