Hunter2_1 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I'm talking power backs. All RBs have power, but I mean the ones where their power-run game defined them, or it was/is their strongest attribute (for example, I wouldn't class LT as a power back despite him having loads of power, because it was more his all-round/agility that was his forte). Something like; Jim Brown* (he can be classed as a power back, right? 6'2 / 230 in them days. And I've only seen footage, but wow) * Marshawn Lynch Jerome Bettis Larry Csonka ( @freak_of_nature...one for you) Eddie George Jamal Lewis (for a season or two) Bonus: not so good, but brutal power anyway; Brandon Jacobs, Mike Alstott, LeGarrette Blount - fun fun fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Activated10 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I consider AD a power back cuz that was his best strength. So I'll go with him as he is special RB and the best this decade Marshawn Lynch was great to watch and his run against the Saints will go down as a top 10 moment in nfl history for me so I think he's great and had a legendary impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iknowcool Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Shout-out to Michael Turner because he would destroy the Panthers every time they played. I wonder what his career numbers would have looked like if he didn't spend 4 years playing behind LDT. In his first 4 years with the Falcons, he averaged 1320 yards and 12 touchdowns at 4.4 YPC. He probably would have eclipsed 10,000 career yards comfortably if not for those early years. Dude had some wheels for a bigger back too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Take Blount out of that HM section... Legarrette is the softest 250lb back there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't an HM, just a little foot note for RBs I found quite fun to watch. Blount had his moments, like the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
