Yeah, I think a lot of the linebackers from those days would have massive issues playing in space against the players of today.

Well yeah, because he could barely walk.

When I first saw the injured knee I told Butkus that the knee was almost gone, that he would be lucky if he did not lose the lower leg, that he should not even be walking on that leg and certainly should not consider trying to play football again

When he was standing upright, the injured leg was bent sideways so far that it appeared to be on the bare edge of breaking off at the knee.
