the most explosive running back
i remember back in the day when oj was cutting it loose with the bills, when eric dickerson was a RAM, sweetness trotted down the field with the bears, and barry sanders was breaking ankles in detroit.
nowadays we dont have those kind of running backs anymore. i was listening to local sports radio the other day and the two personalities were arguing who was the most explosive running back of yesterday, and who arguably is the most explosive halfback of today.
heres what they had to say:
yesterday- barry sanders
today - fred taylor
heres my two cents:
yesterday- jim brown. 8 rushing titles in 9 years. it was his freaking team.
today- marshall faulk. this guy is ridiculously agile. he reminds me of barry sanders except that marshall catches passes too. hes so tiny that he just dodges the defense. i wonder if he wouldve been so great if hed stay with the colts.
