lol...

LOL Scott Mitchell....biggest theif in the history of the NFL, literally stole money through lack of performance from the Lions, :doh!:

Incredible. If they didn't have the guy wrapped up when he was going down, he'd dive from a foot off the ground or even run with his hands to get an extra yard or two.

Sanders did things nobody else in the history of football could do. If I had a beef it would be that he lost yardage too often. For a team that had as small a passing game as the Lions did, to start constantly in a 2 and 14 hole was too much to overcome. With all the negative yardage, its hard to believe he is 2nd all-time rushing.

He didn't call the plays man. Everyone KNEW Sanders was getting the ball, and the oline rarely did jack shit to help him out. He basically made chicken salad out of chicken shit.

I don't think there are many that will argue that Barry Sanders was the most most talented RB that ever played the game.

He did, however, play with a lack of intelligenge.

If I remember correctly, he had the most carries for lost yardage in NFL history.

He put his team in difficult positions as often as he did great things f r them.

Give me a RB like Walter Payton or Eric Dickerson, that almost always moved forward.

That could have a little to do with the shit o-line he played behind. Like was said earlier, if he played on the cowboys teams Emmitt played on he wouldn't have had as many carries for loss. He would have shattered every running record.

Walter Payton, in his first 5 or 6 years, ran behind a line every bit as bad as the Lions.

He ran smart.

He rarely gave up yardage in an effort to make something happen.

Barry Sanders did.

He didn't give up yardage trying to make something happen. He gave up yardage being hit 3 yards behind the line when he got handed the ball.

In some of these highlights Sanders has to juke out his own linemen.LMAO

BTW - the move on Reggie White is Epic! Payton and Brown would have shit their pants and went home.

rofl, what did you expect him to do? Just fall on the ground and give up in order not to lose a couple of yards? A lot of his best plays came from broken hand offs right off the bat.

Great video that talks about his carries for negative yards and the horrible line he had.

At least you make a case for Walter Peyton though.... whom very well could be the best RB ever.

Anyone who mentiones Emmitt Smith is just a tard Cowboys homer.
