Conducting a little bit of an experiment with this discussion... when you hear the term "finesse" (typically in a derogatory manner), which teams from across the decades spring to mind?

Greatest Show on Turf. Every play they ran was fucking pretty. Holt, Bruce, and Faulk were the definition of finesse. Even Orlando Pace moved like Fred Astaire.

I actually kind of disagree, people forget those teams were dominant in run defense

My thought too - but the defense was good and Marshall Faulk could smash if/when he needed to.
