	Sid Gillman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gillman's insistence on stretching the football field by throwing deep downfield passes instead of short passes to running backs or wide receivers at the sides of the line of scrimmage made football into the modern game that it is today.

		Gillman approached then-NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle in 1963 with the idea of having the champions of the AFL and the NFL play a single final game, but his idea was not implemented until the Super Bowl game was played in 1967.

		Some found it ironic that Walsh's "West Coast" dilineation of the offense — which had evolved into one that placed an emphasis on short, horizontal passing — would be implemented with Gruden's Raiders, a franchise known as the bastion of the toss-it-long, vertical passing game.
