Barry was the sickest combination of speed and agility. His ability to plant, juke, change direction and then accelerate is something I’ve never seen from any other player. On top of that, he was strong as hell. The guy broke tackles as much as he avoided them. And all while being probably the classiest player the league has ever had. True legend.
@logicaldude36112 жыл бұрын

Outside of those two guys though I have never seen another runner be able to do all those things consistently.

@@1TotalJabroni - much respect to both guys mentioned AP and LT who were absolutely great but I believe he is referring to running style. I find it funny how people always try to say Shady runs like Barry. It was just something about Barry's low center of gravity and quickness that can't be duplicated. Defenders always talked about how powerful he ran. Not in the sense of running you over but having to try to tackle someone so short, compact and quick was so hard when you are 6ft 2" 250 pounds. AP was a tall runner and very strong with speed which made him a nightmare but Barry was just on a different level.

There is no question that Barry Sanders is the all time best running back to ever play the game. A running back with no offensive line to block for him, and the amount of yards that he accumulated over his career is unheard of. Emmitt Smith is the all-time leading rusher in the NFL., with 18,355 yards playing 15 years in the NFL. Barry Sanders has 15,269 all-time career yards with only 10 NFL seasons. Emmitt Smith had a monster offensive line to block for him. So you play five more seasons than Barry Sanders and only beat him by 3,086 yards. Barry Sanders could have had that in the next two seasons that's why I consider him the best running back to ever play the game.

He had some good offensive lines, too. Tackle Lomas Brown (3X All-Pro) and Center Kevin Glover (4X All-Pro) were stars. Mike Utley and Eric Andolsek were strong guards. Regrettably one was paralyzed and the other killed by a truck in his front year. Others like Bill Fralic passed through.

Actually he set his team up for 2nd and long and 3rd and long because he was in search of that "highlight reel" run. Which, he got quite often. Buuuut "highlight reel runs" don't equate to winning in the NFL. In the NFL, your goal should be to win games, not say "hey everyone, look at me" . Sanders holds the ALL-TIME record for most rushes with 0 or less yards, and the ALL-TIME record for total negative yards. Again, the NFL is about winning. Just taking the 2-4 yards available on 1st down helps you win. Backing up, juking, hoping you can break one, hurts your teams chances of winning. Which is a huge factor on why their record was a measly 74 wins and 79 losses when Barry played. He was a highlight reel master. When it came to helping his team win, he failed. Miserably.

An underrated aspect of Barry Sanders: his strength. People always thought of him as a little jitterbug, but he had an unreal lower body--that's what separated him from mere scatbacks. He may have been short, but his legs and hips were incredibly powerful which is why so many of his highlights feature broken tackles, not just missed tackles. When you combine his speed, vision and elusiveness with so much sheer strength, you have arguably the greatest running back ever. It's between him and Jim Brown, IMO.

Also.....He would come out in 4th quarter of many games when the Lions were down a bundle and had to score quickly and often. So no real garbage eating up the clock in the 4th quarter when the defense is tired kind of yards.....which happen to account for many yards of the other great back of time Emmit Smith.

@@mojoschmee9320 I was only referring to most of these highlights, where much of the time very little is done by anyone but him. I wouldn't say the teams around him were atrocious, but I would also argue they were not planned very well and averaged out to mediocre.

he got some pretty good blocks on some of those runs but, yeah, he wasn't on a great team. He'd be scary behind the Hogs or 90's Dallas O-lines.

@@mojoschmee9320 There is no way on earth you watched Barry play. You sound like someone who just looked up some accolades and made broad assumptions, based off of them, that would fool the average commenter who didn't actually see Barry play. Barry is the reason they went to the playoffs in the first place. Words can't describe how difficult it is for a RB to get the Lions to the playoffs that many times.

Barry was the greatest RB in his era and of all time. He put Detroit on the map and carried them single handedly. Just wish he got a ring.
