yea....he sure made his offensive line look better lol
you are dumb.....in every barry sanders highlight its always him being a one man army behind
he rarely ran behind his blockers and always wanted to bounce it to the outside.....he is very much like reggie bush these days except sanders was much more successful at it
it had nothing to do with him making his offensive line look good or block better lmao
maybe i am dumb, whats this supposed to mean?

i said players take plays off......i even said of course
players take plays off.....of course.....
im not saying players dont take plays off.....but offensive linemen dont take entire games off based on who is running the ball just so they can get the player they want to run behind them
thats so ignorant to think that and even more so to come out and say it
what you guys are trying to get at is that the offensive linemen want to block for betts and cartwright but not as much for portis
thats just not true.....
i type like that out of habit.....just read it as a pause in the sentence or thought
for me its easier to type like that than use commas or the appropriate punctuation because more often than not, i dont know which punctuation is appropriate

Once again you are talking about something that you really don't know anything about because you did not see the relevant game action.
Anyone who actually watched Barry Sanders play live, not just in a highlight reel, knows that he frequently ran behind his blockers. He was one of the greatest backs in NFL history precisely by following and setting up his blocking a lot, although he certainly was very creative on his own, too. To think that someone could put up Barry Sanders' numbers by "rarely running behind blockers" is absolutely ludicrous.
Once again, talking about something that you don't really know has led you into error.

i'm not saying that others may, i just think that they were hitting the holes harder and the o line saw that and started blocking harder, and i don't think that that is so far fetched

Don't forget that the o-line practiced with Betts often and Portis little.

I don't think it's that far-fetched. I think you get a little more pumped up when you're getting results.

I've said this before, but anyone else think that one of the reasons we haven't been drafting the O-line for the last several years has been because of Bugel? I have this weird feeling Bugel told them not to waste high picks on the O-line, because he could "coach them up."
Just wondering.

Wow, where would anyone get that sort of idea? I don't believe that for a minute. Joe Bugel couldn't have lasted this long in the NFL if he tells the front office not to draft linemen; that he can coach anybody. The man is one of the best coaches of offensive linemen in history. You don't get to that point by trying to convince front offices that you can turn garbage into Pro Bowlers. After 32 years in the NFL, Buges has had to tell lots of people that they aren't cut out for football.
