Was watching Dallas- Wash. receiver went across middle, Short cross.  Caught it, defender coming from other direction goes low. Receiver breaks tackle. Runs for about 30 more. Aikman  mentioned how that was one of the brobdingnagian changes in the game from when he played. In his day the defensive back would’ve absolutely blown up the wide receiver. Think Ronnie Lott.  Aikman mentioned as a quarterback then you had to be aware of that so your receivers didn’t get killed. I don’t think he actually used that word but you get my drift. Not so much today. Really has been one of the major changes leading to what are essentially pinball numbers for quarterbacks.
