Recency bias.

Today's NFL doesn't block anywhere nearly as well as they used to, nor do they tackle nearly as well.

Those players wouldn't be allowed to do what they're doing today, and I don't mean by coaching holding them back.  Likely by KO.

In many ways, rules changes (not changes in talent) have been the far overriding factor.

Blocking in today's NFL is actually harder as they're facing way better athletes, with higher levels of skill and more complex blocks needed to help protect the passer. 

It's a given that rule changes have helped but it's also a much more skillful game than it was 20 years ago with advanced in coaching and early development.
