Smoke Signals: Riggo v. Portis

budw38 · 09-02-2009, 07:43 PM

Does Portis know that the hogs came on to the scene when Riggins was 32-33 yrs old . I don't care what CP says , I like the way he plays / blocks and I guess what his teamates think probably what counts the most . As long as CP runs like hell on 9-14-09 , Im happy . If I had to choose one , give me # 44 . As far as OL-lines / Hogs ,,,, RB's make the OL as much as the OL makes the RB , Payton/ E. Campbell / Dickerson and B. Sanders made what most thought were avg. OL's look pretty damn good .

why is there a cowboy fan flaming these boards? I HATE cowboys.

back on the subject.

it was a different league back then...and I will be the first to admit that people were tougher.

But

I wonder what the weight differences and 40 time difference there are among D lineman compared to Riggo's superbowl years, to today with Portis. I can almost assure you that there is at least a 15 to 20 lbs weight difference in DL and about 2 tenths of a second 40 time difference if not more.

But yet, Riggo was a monster for his time. But if he were a back today, he'd be like an Alstott.

You can use that same logic in any sport to discredit any great player from previous era's. The only thing you can judge Riggo on is the era that he played in and in that era he was a champion, Super Bowl MVP and a HOFer. Portis will be lucky to achieve any of those.
