Regardless, I watched Sanders, and his propensity for lost yrdage always pissed me off.

Sanders also holds the NFL record for the most carries for negative yardage. According to the SI Book of Football, these numbers totaled 336 carries for -952 Yards.

Again, statistically he lost yards 2 times per game at -3 yards per loss. Just watch the video I just posted. Pick out the times he lost yards. Then pick out the number of times he has someone in the backfield when he gets the ball. Then pick out the number of times he gains yards when he does have someone in his face in the backfield.
I don't know what pissed you off back in the day to give you the perception that Barry was always losing yards and a detriment to his team, but it wasn't and still isn't based off reality.
