AD chasing Emmitt

[tw1st3d]

Yeah, he only went for 2053 the year Ross came and put a FB back there with him. Do you know anything or are you just making this stuff up as you go along ?

LMAO

yeah and Ross pulled Barry out 95% of the time they were inside the 10

do you know your own team?

 

[tw1st3d]

Ross also ran a single back set in San Diego with Natron Means.... but brought in a Fullback in the redzone.

Did the same with Barry ... but Barry couldn't run behind a fullback. That's a fact.

You're talking out of your ass. I watched a lot of Sanders film due to this discussion and your claim is just not true.

ok post some short and goal TDs with Sanders then


I dare you to find them

I stopped reading after this. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Maybe you need to continue reading. This was written on Barry in 1997, he played one season after this article.

"He's not a goal line or short-yardage runner, though he's staying in the game more than he used to in those situations. When you need someone to smack in there for a tough yard, you can't take a chance with a guy who can lose three as easily as he gains 30. (During his nine-year career, he has been dumped for losses on 336 carries, almost 14% of his total rushing attempts, for 952 yards.)"

Barry Sanders is running circles around NFL defenses with - 12.08.97 - SI Vault

I'm in no way trying to say Barry sucked. He was great and fun to watch, but he became a liability near the goal line and on 3rd and short. If you don't know your own team how do you expect you to know the rest of the league?

and why would you have to watch film to judge him? Are you a kid that didn't see him play?

LOL if so ... I'm done debating it with you.... Then you really are a stat guy watching highlights....

What does that have to do with Sanders being in the game? The fact is the Lions threw the ball in red zone a lot. But whether they were throwing it or running it Barry was in the game in those situations a lot more than you're trying to pass off as fact. Look the stats up yourself

Dude you haven't put a dent in my argument, meanwhile your argument is filled with half truths and outright false information. i have come with nothing but truths and hard data. you have come to the table with bogus claims and pure conjecture for the most part. This never was a debate, your argument has been paper mache from the start. Get over yourself.

 

[PDay8810]

You realize this is a message board where people share their opinions on all sorts of things including sports.

Add something to the conversation or shut the fuck up.

I am dip stick. You're a fucking troll coming back cause this is YOUR MOMENT or something.

You're just pissing into the wind slamming Emmitt Smith here...you know this and it remains your purpose.

run along chuckles

You are clearly incapable of backing up your argument with clear and coherent information that clearly supports the point you are trying to make. Dude step your game up.

Hard data???? LMAO and you went back to watch film?

Shut the fuck up ..... from what I can tell you never even watched the man play a game ..

Barry pulled in the Redzone is a fact of life. He could get you a TD but he could also knock you out of field goal range. He WAS a liability in the redzone.

The fact that you don't know this ..... shows me you never watched him play.

Now I can understand a Detroit fan hyping him cause that's their guy .... A Cowboys fan overhyping a guy he never watched anything more than a highlight real of? You're a special kind of stupid

Half of Barry's 99 TDs came from within the 10 yard line. You know you can actually look this stuff up instead of posting BS and "opinions" and continue making a fool of yourself.

[tw1st3d]

I wont even look this up .... I'll let you do it

I'd say 80% or higher of every other Rbs TDs come from within the 10

 

[tw1st3d]

don't think he is a lions fan. think he is a cowboys fan thinking barry was better

I said he was a Cowboys fan ....

You're the guy spouting off supposed "facts" about the guy that are completely untrue. And I am the guy who has never watched him play? Get a fucking clue man.

Just like a troll to resort to name calling when he's beat

You're a complete waste of time. Have a nice life.

52 of Barry's 109 TD's came from 10 yards and in. 26 of them from 3 yards and in.
