Marshall Faulk, Priest Holmes, Shaun Alexander kept breaking rushing TD records. The Chiefs had 8 rushing TDs in one game. Mike Ditka traded a whole draft for Ricky Williams hoping to get that kind of domination. It seems like now the risk vs. reward of the passing game makes running the ball more of a situational strategy. That was such a fun time. Priest had the GOAT three year stretch... 2001-2003 he played in 46 games and had 6,566 total yards and 61 total TD. That averages to 142.7 yds/game and 1.3 TD/game.

Shady Slim Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 a bit of thought on people who like to have their cake and eat it too can we put the “oh and you expect xx player to not blindside a guy by making a split second decision to not after he sees the guy slide” because imho if breeland speaks can consciously release tom brady thinking the ball’s thrown after processing the information “i think that he’s thrown it therefore i must redirect my momentum away from his body, else i could fall victim to RTP” then defenders can say “yeah maybe i won’t deck this guy going to turf” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity_Cometh Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I knew nothing about Mahomes from his college days but it just felt like something was being bioengineered in a basement somewhere and then the season started. Mahomes just sounds like a name bred for football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason Gurley is the true MVP If you don't use what you're great off! then you're a fool. The whole point is to make the game easier. It's like when Howard stop running the PnR despite being the greatest at it. But because Shaq said he couldn't score any other way, It ruined him and houston. You stick with the cheese boi..

Without a doubt. You have the best running back in the league and you use him even when you don't use him. 4 minutes ago, El ramster said: It's like when Howard stop running the PnR despite being the greatest at it.
