- 4:48right
- 4:48or
- 4:49thrown
- 4:49the
- 4:49left.
- 4:50And
- 4:51so
- 4:54most

- 4:55only
- 4:55sent
- 4:56one
- 4:56or
- 4:56two
- 4:56receivers
- 4:57out
- 4:58into
- 4:58the
- 4:58play.
- 5:00And
- 5:01so
- 5:01defenses
- 5:03could
- 5:04get
- 5:04away
- 5:04with
- 5:05basically
- 5:05playing
- 5:06zone.
- 5:07You
- 5:07know,
- 5:08whether
- 5:08you

- 5:10one,
- 5:11two,
- 5:11one,
- 5:13you
- 5:13know,
- 5:13if

- 5:22right?
- 5:23And
- 5:24a
- 5:24lot
- 5:24of
- 5:24the
- 5:24forward
- 5:24passing
- 5:25techniques
- 5:26just

- 5:27I
- 5:27mean,
- 5:27they,
- 5:27they
- 5:27just
- 5:28weren't
- 5:28very
- 5:28accurate,
- 5:28they
- 5:29weren't
- 5:29very
- 5:29fast.
- 5:30So
- 5:30it
- 5:30wasn't
- 5:30that
- 5:30difficult
- 5:31to
- 5:31defend
- 5:31them.
- 5:32Over
- 5:32time,
- 5:33of
- 5:33course,
- 5:33the,
- 5:34you
- 5:34know,
- 5:34overhand
- 5:35spiral
- 5:36became
- 5:36more
- 5:37popular.
- 5:37They're
- 5:37able
- 5:38to
- 5:38do
- 5:38some,
- 5:38some
- 5:38more
- 5:39things.
- 5:39And
- 5:39then
- 5:40in
- 5:411910,
- 5:42the
- 5:42rule
- 5:42changed
- 5:43so
- 5:43that
- 5:44the
- 5:44passer
- 5:45had
- 5:45to
- 5:45be
- 5:45five
- 5:46yards
- 5:46behind
- 5:46the
- 5:47line
- 5:47of
- 5:47scrimmage.
- 5:48And
- 5:48the
- 5:48left,
- 5:48right
- 5:49thing
- 5:49went
- 5:49away.
- 5:50And
- 5:51when
- 5:51that
- 5:51happened,
- 5:52they
- 5:52could
- 5:53like
- 5:53snap
- 5:54the
- 5:54ball
- 5:54to
- 5:54the
- 5:55fullback,
- 5:55who
- 5:55often
- 5:56times
- 5:56was
- 5:56the
- 5:57passer,
- 5:57you
- 5:58know,
- 5:58who
- 5:58might
- 5:58be
- 5:58standing
- 5:59six
- 5:59yards
- 5:59deep
- 5:59or
- 6:00whatever.
- 6:01And
- 6:02so
- 6:02then
- 6:04that
- 6:04allowed
- 6:04them
- 6:05to
- 6:05throw
- 6:05to
- 6:06the
- 6:06right,
- 6:06to
- 6:06the
- 6:07left,
- 6:07or
- 6:07over
- 6:07the
- 6:07middle.
- 6:08And
- 6:09so
- 6:10then,
- 6:10you
- 6:11know,
- 6:11kind
- 6:11of
- 6:11in
- 6:12conjunction

- 6:16sending
- 6:17four
- 6:17receivers
- 6:18out
- 6:18into
