Top 10 Backfield Tandems

Today's list is the ten best backfield tandems in NFL history. This episode was released in 2009 and this was the best quality I could get.

[@johnmapu4908]

Here to mention mike Alstott and Warrick Dunn..loved those two on the Tampa Teams🤘🤘🤘

[@twocents4912]

Warrick Dunn and Mike Alstott were unstoppable.

[@imannonymous7707]

Yeah mike alstot ran through lines like a mack truck. . Its a shame the bucs didnt have more talent at that time ,he was unstopable

[@davidwormell6609]

You don't hear enough about Roger Craig, when people discuss the great running backs of the NFL.

[@fleabaglane]

Everybody talks about rice and Montana it's like they think rice was there 10 years but only 4 and a have for Montana its a joke that Craig is not in and I thing cause of fumble season 90 nfc vs NYG with min to go cost a 3rd SB chance of winning 3 in a row But they should not penalize a whole career for a one mistake

[@johnselwitz5362]

@@fleabaglane Exactly, that was one of VERY FEW mistakes that Roger Craig made in his career. It is an absolute joke that Craig isn’t in the NFL Hall of Fame yet. 3 time Super Bowl champion, an instrumental part in all 3 championship seasons for the 49ers, 1988 Offensive Player of the Year, led the league in yards from scrimmage that season, first running back to have 1,000 rushing and 1,000 receiving yards in a season, 4x Pro Bowler as both a halfback and fullback, led the league in catches as a running back in 1985, and a member of the NFL All-Decade Team of the 80s. You could argue that Craig’s accomplishments were bolstered by Montana and Rice but I’d make the opposite argument, Montana and Rice may have one or two less rings on their fingers if not for Roger Craig. It should be a crime punishable by 2 to 4 years in a state mental facility for those not voting to have Craig put in the HOF.

[@JuliusC1973]

Wasn't he the first Running Back to get 1,000+ Yards Rushing and 1,000+ Yards Receiving in the same Season? He was the Template for Marshall Faulk and every Running Back who came after him.

As a Green Bay fan who hated to play against Tampa Bay, I find it a glaring omission that Mike Alstott and Warrick Dunn were not on this list. They would have made a great #10 or #9. Both could catch passes, run the ball effectively, and holy hell Alstott was a beast. He blocked perfectly for Dunn many, many times.

[@theinfiniterush]

They were incredible. This must be old as heck.

[@matsugo24]

I’m a longtime Cowboys fan; but Byner and Mack should be higher than #10. And Larry Csonka/Mercury Morris should be higher than #7. Those early 70s Miami Dolphins don’t get enough respect, with their 3 straight SB appearances, two world championships, and the only perfect season in NFL history.

A forgotten backfield duo for me was Curt Warner and John L Williams. They were a good combo. in Seattle during the mid & late 80s. If there wasn't a players strike in 1987, there was a good chance that the Seahawks would have gone to the Super Bowl. They also could have both have 1000 yards rushing, again if there wasn't a strike & if the offensive coordinator would have been more even handed with the carries.

[@fatehopkins7969]

John L Williams is super underrated. Power, blitz pick up, caught the ball out of the backfield, great lead blocker. Just a great football player.

[@Fnoel98356]

@@fatehopkins7969 John L Williams is now 5th all time in receptions in Seahawks history. Tyler Lockett just passed him for 4th place on Sunday.

Scoring a touchdown in 18 consecutive games is insane for a running back but especially back then because of how much defenses focused on stopping the run at the time

[@ElrohirGuitar]

They just don't make tandems ant more. I was lucky to be a Jets fan in NY with Snell and Boozer and then in Miami with Csonka and Morris. My first real memory was watching Ameche and Moore in the NFL Championship. I was a Redskin fan when they traded for Mitchell, but I thought Brown and Mitchell shouldn't have been broken up. I also enjoyed Dunn and Alstott when I moved to Gainesville, and got to watch Fred Taylor with the Gators and then with Drew in the Jaguar's backfield. I'm just glad I was able to appreciate so much great football growing up.

Between being able to block just as well if not better than most at their position, having some of the best hands at their position, and of course being the top 2 in rushing at their position of all time in my eyes. Another FB that I don’t hear a lot of people talk about is Lorenzo Neal that man blocked for so many 1,000 yard rushers it’s a crime that those 3 men aren’t in the HOF but that just shows FBs don’t get the credit they deserve because casual fans don’t know how important they are especially nowadays due to the league being a pass heavy one now.

After watching basically all these videos and learning so much about the NFL History from Marion Motley breaking the color barrier to many legends of the game from different eras..but this is one I been curious about since I been digging from the past. Let’s say Jim Brown doesn’t retire in 1966 and decide to keep on playing with Leroy for 7 more years until 72-73, would then packers, Miami, colts, chiefs, and jets have their SBs? Because if based on film and what others say about Jim Browns greatness, would you say that he could easily have a few SBs under his belt at the twilight of his career? I know it’s a big what if, but based on the domination, I think the Browns would have been a dynasty before the Steel Curtain..but remember this is just rhetorical so don’t take it personal..how everything ended up being is pretty awesome too..Im just wondering had Brown not retired at 29, would he have won a few SBs for Cleveland?

Not sure what the numbers look like but it seems as though they were both tearing it up for a year or two there. Some others from that era that jump to mind: Larry Brown/Charlie Harraway-Redskins, Dave Osborne/Bill Brown-Vikings, and the Cowboys had a couple of classic power fullback/speedy running back combos in Calvin Hill/Walt Garrison and Tony Dorsett/Robert Newhouse.

Byner Rogers? Do you mean George Rogers? he left The Redskins after 87, Byner arrived in 89.... Riggs Byner were on the same team at the same time but Byner played a TE type of role (H-B) with Riggs before Byner became the ball carrier and Riggs became the short yardage back.

[@johnliberty3647]

@Harry Engel that team was stacked at every position but QB which is an odd thing to say when the QB was both league MVP and SB MVP but in truth Rypein only had a deep ball and gibbs worked his magic to not expose that he was the worst red zone QB in the league. Lets not forget that another RB on that roster was Brian Mitchell, while he didn't get many offensive touches that season if he had to play RB he was pretty damn good at it. He was also a great kick returner that season and through out his long career. I recall him in the middle of his career being a feature back for one game and had a 100 yard game. The starter who was probably Terry Allen was hurt or something like that Played some Full Back and 3rd down back too. Even filled in at QB his rookie year during the body bag game.

[@johnliberty3647]

@Harry Engel Also a team with a HOF Guard... on the Bench. Because their starting guards were actually better. Raleigh Mckenzie and Mark Schlreth were beasts. Mckenzie was a very athletic guard who could pull rapidly, had great balance and could even pass block as good as most left tackles. Not sure what season it was but Mckenzie actually played left tackle for a game because he was the only one athletic enough to handle Pat Swilling of the Saints. That was the best Offensive Line I ever saw for the Redskins as far as Depth went. I remember a few games in 1991 where multiple linemen went out for minor injuries for a series or that game etc and the bench putting out pro bowl level talent and the offense kept moving a long without having to tweak the game plan to make up for a loss of talent. Even the positions that do not generate stats to look at were stacked. Unfortunately Rypien held out the next season never really played well again in his career. Some of their best talent on the line got too old to be effective in a league where defenses were getting faster and stronger. The WR corp and RBs were getting old and Ricky Ervins really didn't pan out as an every down back. Salary Cap hit around that time, maybe 2 years after the Super Bowl, Gibbs left and so did much of Bobby Bethards players. However it being the 4th of Joe Gibbs 4 super bow appearances (3 wins) it got to be the tail end of a dynasty. It felt like the start of something even bigger at the time but it was the last thrill of a decade of Redskins greatness. Only a handful of players were on all 3 SB championships, Monk (didn't play in the first one due to injury), Warren, Grimm, Bostic, Jacoby, Coleman, are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. The only other football team in the era to keep winning superbowls over a span of that long with all that turn over was the 49ers. I think maybe the Patriots have accomplished that but I don't even like football now so I do not watch or follow. I was barely paying attention to football when the Patriots won their first super bowl. I can't even tell you who is on what team and most of the guys playing today were in Pee Wee football when I stopped watching sports in general. Game evolved too much and I have too much going on in my life to learn the new X's a nd O's . I get no thrill from fantasy football, betting on games or being a drunk jock telling someone else their team sucks. I love watching the old games on youtube, especially the obscure ones in the middle of the season between mediocre teams and just examining the blocking assignments how teams ran the ball. examining the defense schemes and pass protections. Still love the sport in general but I can't let go of my old ways.... I think I just turned into a rambling old man lol. I used to make of those as a kid.

As soon as I saw the title, I was thinking Kevin Mack and Earnest Byner. I'm glad they made the list but I think they should be higher than 10 even with The Fumble.

Johnathan Stewart and D'Angelo Williams were better.

Not a bad tandem, DeSean Foster and Stephen Davis played through/with different nagging injuries never reached their full effective potential but did get cheated out of a super bowl against video camera cheating on the sidelines deflating footballs NE Patties

No John Riggins and Joe Washington?

[@johnliberty3647]

The more I think about it, They were only a Tandem for a season and a half before Gibbs moved to a feature back system and they stopped sharing the same backfield at the same time by the end of 1982. But for a short time they played at the same time and Joe Washington was Barry Sanders before there was a Barry Sanders.

[@howardcosell2022]

@@johnliberty3647 Riggins and Washington rarely played together because of Gibbs employing the two TE system. Washington was a marvelous player and the predecessor of the all-around back like Kamara and Sproles you see today

As Tony the Tiger 🐯🐅🐯 would have Said "That is GREAT" and as it Should be. Now if Today's Player's would Conceivably Think 🤔👀 of The Game? As a Team Oriented Sport with 11 Men on the Field at Any given Time Working as a Single Unit too Achieve the Win or the Championship 🏆🏆. Then it would Still be Football 🏈🏈. And Not an Awards Show where We are Now Questioning it's Outcomes or The Honesty of it's Achievers. IN My Opinion, nowadays it's too Skeptical that the Championship's are being Bartered Away by Big Money 💰💸💰 and Prestige. Rather than Earning Them through Wins & Team Effort's to Win Them. The Old Fashioned Ways. Thank You for Sharing this Great Film and Stuff.
