I think it is. That's why I always loved Earl Campbell and Bo Jackson. No runningback, in my opinion, was as enjoyable to watch as Barry Sanders. But there's just something special about seeing two men go head up against one another in a costest of brute force.
One of my favorite runs of all time is an Earl Campbell touchdown run where he meets up with a Hall of Fame linebacker right at the goal line with an EPIC collision. They both gave it everything they had, and both felt the effects of that one hit long after the game had ended.
Anybody remember the name of that linebacker? I recently saw both of them talking about it on ESPN or Classic Sports.
