    Im sure this link will be blocked unless you go to YouTube and watch it but I highly recommend watching it if you weren't alive when it was played or old enough to care yet.

    It is a great example of the Standard. Just watch the first two series to see just what has been lacking lately.

    1st defensive series Kirkland demonstrates tracking the ball carrier and exploding in to the hole to hit him. None of this run up to the line and get blocked.

    1st offensive series watch Bettis completely stun the edge rusher and Jackson looks at Bettis determines he had his guy and didn't need help. Jackson stands his ground with his head on a swivel so if Bettis needs help or Wolford does he is ready to help and doesn't create a huge hole just to help on a dbl team.

    This was also a great game for Chad Brown and was where he got on a lot of teams radar.

    Awesome game.
