The schemes have changed a lot aloso. RBs still caught a lot of passes in the early 70's but almost all of the routes for WRs and even TEs were deeper down the field.
In 1972 seven of the top 20 in receiving yards averaged more than 18 per catch (4 averaged more than 20). Over the last five seasons combined only two receivers have finished in the top 20 in yards and averaged as many as 18 per catch.
