Indeed and there is one extreme similarity...Steve Hutchinson...takes my vote as the best lineman in the league and worth every penny they paid him

Definetly gotta give the blockers credit (not only at lineman and fullback but at the receiver position). I to this day refuse to recognize the Denver RBs as great players (you can make the argument for Terrell Davis and Portis) but Olandis Gary and Mike Anderson do not run for 1,000 plus yard seasons without a phenomenal job by the blockers and system that is extremely conducive to RBs
