Paul Hornung was his running mate. Taylor used to get hit--when it was real football--and say to the guy, "Is that all you have?" "Is that the hardest you can hit?" Piss everybody off. Him and Jim Brown went for the rushing title each year. Loved No. 31. He was a classic.
Great days of Packers ! Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, Jim Taylor, Ray , Nitschke, Leroy Jordan, Boyd Dowler, Max McGee, Willie Wood ..... and many more !
RIP Jim Taylor.
Saw a clip last night with Jerry Kramer who recounted a team film session when Taylor ran around end, got in the clear and then ran toward the safety instead of away from him. Lombardi saw it and questioned Taylor about the move. "Got to sting 'em Coach, got to sting 'em," Taylor said.
