"In those times, [Jack] Ham and I were attempting to lose weight," Russell said.

"The kind of penalties they call now were something that Ham and that i and [Jack] Lambert would do every single [play]," Russell said. "You might have their hands on the receiver- not holding him- however, you might have both hands pushing-- you can reroute them and never let them go where they took it, and then the quarterback couldn't locate them.
