Yeah to bad Davis has been retired for some time. Not really sure how good Davis was anyway because his replacements seem to put up some very good numbers under the same blocking scheme.

And Seattle fan says:

Why did your thread title have an 's' at the end of 'fan?' You didn't mean to paint them all the same way did you?

His replacement...Mike Anderson a 6th round draft choice, rookie of the year in 2000 with 1487 yards and 15TDs. The system had a lot to do with Terrell Davis success, the RBs that followed him did just fine.

Quit being such a homer.

Mike Anderson was a talented back, and yes, the Broncos O-line and zone blocking scheme is what made their run game successful as well.

But no RB can do it without a good team and line blocking for him,


Don't be such an idiot. You act like if they could not do it without blocking they must not be any good.

I'd be careful about posting something that may be construed as a veiled or not so veiled threat of violence.

Lol @ you acting like Terrell Davis is some all-time great. He played 4 years in the league then was irrelevant.

 

[Morpheus]

Again, all you get from Seahawks fans are jokes, stupid videos, and insults.

No logical debate. No Football knowledge. Just bravado and BS.


To insinuate that Terrell Davis was overrated in anyway shape or form is ludicrous.

No. Just the ones posting here to defend this moronic notion that Terrell Davis is somehow,"Overrated"

Not even sure why you brought Terrell Davis up. Guess you were just trying to one up Lynch and I wasn't having that.

Terrel Davis was a better RB than Lynch.

What is there to debate? Terrell Davis had 1 above average year, 3 great years then never was relevant again. If the reason for his production was due to his blocking scheme is irrelevant, he never had any form of sustained success in the NFL.

Stop overcompensating, Morpheus.

He had a career ending injury. It's a tragedy his career was cut short by injury and that is the only reason he is not in the HOF yet.

He had arguably the best 4 year stretch of any RB in the game and had the best post season numbers of any back ever.

It's not up for debate.

How in the hell can he be overrated?

 

[Logicallylethal]

Terrell Davis was one of my favorite running backs to watch and there's no denying that he is good...but I don't think what Harold said was that far fetched.

2000 - Mike Anderson 1487 yds
2002 - Clinton Portis 1508 yds
2003 - Clinton Portis 1591 yds
2004 - Rueben Droughns 1240 yds
2005 - Mike Anderson 1014 yds and Tatum Bell 921 yds
2006 - Tatum Bell 1025 yds

The point was valid. Terrell Davis was great but how great was he when that same Franchise was able to produce so many 1000 + rbs after TD. I'm biased since I'm a big fan of TD so I have him in my top 5, but I could see an argument made against it.

Guess it depends on how one defines "sustained success". No back in league history has ever come close to doing what Davis did, before he got hurt, his first four years in the league.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Terrel Davis was a better RB than Lynch.

Marshawn Lynch runs behind one of the NFL's worst offensive lines yet has managed to have 4051 yards rushing and 35 rushing touchdowns over the past three years. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the only running back to have more yardage over that period is Adrian Peterson. Davis ran behind a notoriously strong offensive line.

You don't see Seahawk fans glorifying Shaun Alexander despite the fact that he set the rushing touchdown record in a season (later broken by LT), because we recognize that his production was the result of running behind two half of fame offensive linemen and arguably the best LT/LG combo in NFL history.

Runningback A:
Over a 5 year span:
7,504 yards rushing 87 rushing TDs

Runningback B:
Over a 5 year span:
6,624 yards rushing 58 rushing TDs

Runningback A is Shaun Alexander. Runningback B is Terrell Davis.

4 years does not = hall of fame career.

Even if he didn't get injured he could have burned out from the heavy workload he took in his first 4 years. There are plenty of runningbacks with equal or better 4 year stretches, what he did was not unprecedented. Over a 5 year stretch even Shaun Alexander blows Davis out of the water and if you shorten that to a 4 year stretch the numbers are not that different:

Shaun Alexander from 2002-2005:
6186 yards rushing 73 rushing touchdowns

Terrell Davis from 1995-1998:
6413 yards rushing 56 rushing touchdowns

Alexander had a mere 227 yards less than Davis, yet 17 more rushing touchdowns. What Davis did was not unprecedented and does not remotely deserve hall of fame consideration for an impressive 4 year stretch.

You guys are killing me. Denver's zone blocking scheme dominated the NFL for years, but in case you have not heard, football is a TEAM SPORT.

It takes good blocking and a sound scheme to be successful but more importantly it takes a talented back to be able to play in that system. He has to have good vision and be able to make the cutback and read the defense as well as have the physical speed and power to break tackles after he gets to the 2nd level.

Shanahan was great at evaluating that kind of talent, and hit on great RB's for years.

Marshaun Lynch is the same type of back and Seattle uses the same zone blocking scheme with a wrinkle that Denver never had. A running QB.

That is the key to tomorrow's game, stopping Lynch and containing Wilson. If the Broncos defense can't Seattle can win this game.

But if they do limit Lynch and contain Wilson, I don't see Seattle passing effectively enough to come from behind.

I have been around football all my life with relatives who played and coached in the NFL and NCAA division 1.

It's a team game, No man is able to win it all by himself despite what Fantasy Football has brainwashed all of you amatuers into believing.
