Patriots History Tuesday: Way Old Steve Belichick Footage

Yes, we’re really pulling out the stops here in the dog days of the offseason. This is a 1941 Sun Bowl clash between Case Western Reserve (with Steve Belichick on the team) and Arizona State. 

Okay, now I know what you’re thinking, where the hell is the Hoodie patriarch and how the hell am I supposed to take any enjoyment out of this? Well Grandpappy Steve scores the first touchdown and kicks the point after.

Second, I just finished reading Blood, Sweat and Chalk by Tim Layden and it was a fascinating study of the schematic evolution of the game of football. You might notice that some of the plays being run look very “wild cat-y”.

Anyway, kind of cool to look at how far football has come in 70 years…
