Which Back Would You Choose in this Situation? (1 Viewer)

last time the Pats got embarrassed in a Super Bowl.

Of that list, Bettis and it's not even close.

All-time? Marcus Allen. Maybe, Earl Campbell.

Correct Bettis.

Dumb arse Ditka should have given the ball to Sweetness (Walter Payton) to let him get a TD in the Super Bowl.

Sweetness never got over that snub. Years later Ditka admitted that he made a mistake in not recognizing how much it would have meant to him.

But I digress... and got off the OP's point.

Of the choices given, it would have to be Riggins in his prime, but...

...if given the choice of any RB to get that one yard, it would be:

1) Jim Brown (...retired in his prime)
2) Earl Campbell (in his prime)
3) Dulymus ("Deuce") McAllister (in his prime)

Any one of the three...…….I'm trying Riggins first though.

That guy had a nasty streak up his back a mile wide!!

Same here.

 

[Andrus]

Of those three options, definitely Riggins.

John Riggins

I vote for Brees. he's like 100 out of 100.

Larry Czonka, one of the few RBs to ever get called for an unnecessary roughness penalty against the player trying to tackle him.

Seriously did that really happen? Because when that guy played you had to pull an Albert Haynesworth to get a roughing penalty.

Has there ever been a unnecessary roughness penalty against offensive player? - Answers

Yes there has. Larry Csonka received a personal foul for unnecessary roughness while running the ball. The Miami Dolphins were playing the Buffalo Bills. Saftey John Pitts was the defensive player who took the blow issued by Csonka's right fist.

apparently he punched a player

Thanks for the link. I just went back & viewed an old film clip of Csonka. Man, pound for pound , the most brutal mean spirited vicious runner to ever play football. Earl was the toughest, & Brown was a pure freak for his day. But Csonka ran like he didn't like any body.

Csonka was one of my dad’s favorite players for that reason. Almost like he enjoyed going out and punishing people, and was really good at it.

But of that list Riggins no doubt.

I heard Csonka do an interview one time & they asked him why he ran so hard at tacklers. His answer was he knew he wasn't gonna outrun anybody, so he might as well make em remember him the next time he came through the hole with the ball.

Yes... that happened.
