    I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, so
    since my team faced GB several times in big games during the 1960s, I feel qualified to make a few comments about this Packers player.
    My earliest recollection
    while watching Dallas vs Green Bay games is
    hearing my Dad and my uncle yell at the television "tackle him!",
    and "stop that SOB!"
    when #31 was carrying the ball. LOL! There obviously was no stopping Jim Taylor. He would stiff-arm, hit with his helmet, bite, fight, or whatever it took to make a first down. He was simply awesome......and a joy to watch. Players such as Taylor are what pro football is all about.

    I'm seventy-eight years old and have followed the Packers since I was a teenager. Jim Taylor is and always will be my favorite Packer. What did Paul Hornung say about him? "Taylor? Oh, he's always good for 1,000 yeads." The best Taylor quote was the one he said to Coach Lombardi who tried to get Taylor to avoid being tackled. "But, Coach," he said wryly, "Ya gotta sting 'em a bit."

I went to a Department store to purchase a sports coat. Low and behold the gentleman who fitted me was non other than the recently retired Jim Taylor. He had attended Junior college in our area, so he was familiar with the local. He was pleasant and personable, and he performed the complete transaction. I was completely surprised by this, and showed me one of his super bowl rings that he had on. In person I was surprised by how short that he was compared to television.

    Seems like I remember a story about Taylor where he was always asking Lombardi if he could be the punter. One day, Lombardi got tired of listening to him, so he said ok lets see what you can do. Taylor took the snap and sent the ball 100 yds straight up in the air. End of Taylor's punting career.

  • @guitar1067
    @guitar1067 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Jim Taylor was a great team man. He took as much pride blocking for Paul Hornung on the great Packer sweep as he did in his own running. I would rather have had him on my team in his prime than Jim Brown. Why? Though Brown was the best runner of his time, a little known fact is that Jim Brown didn't block for the other backs on his team. For his first five years he didn't block out of disobedience, after that his new coach Blanton Collier just gave up and announced publicly Jim Brown would not be required to block. Who says so? His Hall of Fame coach Paul Brown. Jim Brown did everything he could to sabotage great running back Bobby Mitchell during the four years he was in the Browns backfield. If Jim Taylor had been in that Browns backfield the Browns would have rivalled the Packers and Giants of that era and it would have been the greatest backfield duo ever. NFL films chose the Bobby Mitchell/Jim Brown duo second best ever with Taylor and Hornung at number one. Think of how many more yards Taylor would have had if he didn't have to block. If Jim Brown hadn't refused to block for him, Bobby Mitchell would be known as one of the greatest running backs ever, instead of just being known as one of the greatest Hall of Fame receivers. I would take a great teammate like Taylor over Brown any day. He was a big reason the Packers had all those titles to one for prima donna Jim Brown. So when you compare runners of that era to Jim Brown think of how many more yards they would have had if they hadn't had to block. Leroy Kelly replaced Brown when he retired and was great and gained great yardage but helped his team with his blocking. Ditto Jim Taylor.

    Late to the party... I started watching Professional Football in '58 on a little black and white set. The bigger games were always shown but not to the degree of content shown today (one or two cameras only). But you would see the game in its entirety. Fights? You got to see 'em all! Injuries? Camera stayed on the field. I loved Taylor and hated him (I was a Giants fan) as the Packers won (it seemed to my young mind) more often. If it would have been productive he would've run over a tackler and turn around and run over him again. He seldom granted on field commentary and as he said, 'his game was his talk'. Simply put, they don't make 'em like that any more. Nor is the NFL the same as back in that day. Thanks for the memory!

    • @scooter5940

      The ‘62 championship between the Giants and the Packers was one of the more brutal in NFL history. The Giants were motivated, having been embarrassed by the Packers 37-0 a year before. Taylor carried the ball 31 times for only 85 yards, but scored the game’s only offensive TD and was named MVP. The Giants hit Taylor with everything they could, often late. After the game, one of the Giant defenders said Taylor couldn’t be human, because no human could have withstood the punishment they inflicted that day.

      I am a huge Packer fan, and have been so since about 1960. However, you are wrong about Jim Brown as a blocker. He was a very good blocker, you are not being fair.

      @@garymorris1856 Yeah, attacking Jim Brown to praise Jim Taylor is unfortunate and misplaced. Two great players and two great men. The only people who didn't like Jim Brown were members of the press he talked down to when they asked stupid questions. For the record he did say he regretted not blocking better. But it's not like he had Paul Hornung as a backfield mate.

    I totally agree but the question was based on the runs that were shown and MARSHAWN'S RUN encompassed all of the attributes that constitutes the makeup of a all around RUNNINGBACK on a breakaway long distance run play for a touchdown as he ran over, through,out ran and gave "stay away orders" i.e. stiffarms on his way to the zone for 6.
    Barry on the other hand did not do all of that is his run that was used to make a decision based upon.
    We all (or any one with a brain in their head) should without question know that Barry Sanders is arguably the greatest ever (had he not retired early it would not even be up for discussion).
    So please do not misinterpret what I commented in any way.
    I am in no ways a fool but,
    You yourself cannot even argue about which of the two runs that were put up to pick from was the most prolific and the most all around display of the skills,speed and power that is looked for in a runningback.
    MARSHAWN is and was extremely more physical on his way to the zone throughout his entire career and it was his style of play that Barry went out of his way to avoid and in turn is one of the key contributing factors in his choice to retire early.

    All our offenses now are based off of the offenses with O.J. Simpson as halfback.
    lining up 10 yards being scrimmage with a big blocking back ahead of him.
    I love watching the variations off the split T offense where carrying the ball was a two man job with inside traps and sweeps.
    now it's pretty basic, every one has the same playbook.
    I think we need to do some back to a different time...

    Look at Frame 4.00 and you See the Slacky Detroit Hall of Famer Dick LeBeau Number #44 Scared and unable to Tackle Jimmy Taylor from the Detroit Lion 40 yard Line. Then Jimmy continues to run for 84 yards for a Touch Down in the First Quarter. I was at this Game November 8th 1964 in Green Bay City Stadium . How Can the NFL Hall of Fame put in Dick LeBeau, who only had 3 Pro Ball Seasons , Originally cut from the Cleveland Browns and Not Jerry Kramer or Alex Karras Ill never Know..

      +calforman Its a crime that, because sportswriters who vote hold grudges or resentment against certain players or teams, Karras and Kramer aren't in the hall. Karras was the dominant interior lineman of his era and Kramer is a member of the NFL 50th Anniversary team. Kramer has to be the prototypical pulling guard in NFL history. Great job pointing out LeBeau in the clips!

      Thank you Jeff.. I was at that Game, and watched that play all along the sidelines. across the field. I was on the Detroit Lions side. . I still can't believe and Shocked, that Alex Karras is not in the Hall of Fame.. I saw him interview one time, and he said he was shocked that Jerry Kramer was not in the Hall of Fame.. so both players knew who were tough n the League at the Time, when there was only 14 teams in the NFL.. One Time Dan Grimm who replaced Kramer for Injury for , , mad a mockery of Alex Karras in the Press, and said he had no Moves.. while Alex was playing hurt, The Next time the Packers Played Detroit. Guard Dan Grim was almost Killed by Karras .. who attacked him viciously the whole game, and "told him now take these Moves Ass Face" Here's a quote by Cliff Chrystal " Where LeBeau, because he was in the League more, with Coaching, and in the Press' Eyes.
      The same was true when Dick LeBeau was inducted into the Hall rather than Alex Karras from those great Detroit defenses of the 1960s.
      Read “Run to Daylight” to get an inkling of what Lombardi thought of LeBeau compared to Karras."
