I seriously have no idea how that guy has any ribs left. You're right, he looks like a planet out there and it has to be because he's just running through the line like me on a morning jog. Guy doesn't get himself behind his pads at all.

But somehow he's the guy delivering blows more often than not.

Still not sure how he abuses teams the way he does. Seems like he should end up with a bruised spleen pretty much every week.

I was just asking my buddy the same thing. How the **** can that dude run like that? I remember coming into the league I was thinking gosh he might die in camp.

But like you say, he's murdering fools out there. With his knees I guess?

I've never seen anything like it.

Wasn't Eddie George similar?

He may have been the more upright RB I have ever seen. Never quite got how he did it without getting killed but it worked for him.

Well, I mean, he mostly DID get killed.

Sure, he kept getting yards, but for the last 5 seasons of his career the guy was sporting a 3.4 YPC average. He was mostly an ineffective player who Fisher just kept giving the football.

By 27 years old he was mostly cooked - Fisher just didn't seem to notice. From 2000 to 2004 there were 41 guys who carried the ball more than 500 times over that span. Eddie George ranked 41st in YPC.

Ron Dayne, Amos Zereoue and Troy Hambrick were more effective runners over that timespan than Eddie. Poor dude was ground into a fine powder.

Keith Byars, 1986-1998, 3107 Yards, 175 Games Played
Boobie Clark, 1973-1980, 3032 Yards, 94 Games Played
Ron Dayne, 2000-2007, 3722 Yards, 96 Games Played
Jamal Lewis, 2000-2009, 10607 Yards, 131 Games Played
Natrone Means, 1993-2000, 5215 Yards, 88 Games Played

Byars ended up more of a tight end, but he was a running back at first. I was curious as a child about Boobie's nickname.

I would've thought Dayne was bigger.

Jamaal Lewis was a productive guy for his size.

And of course who can forget Natrone?

I remember watching Natrone Means and wondering how in the hell the defenders could still be standing after meeting him at the point of attack.

So you're saying all I need is to talk someone into giving me 500 carries in the NFL and I could be #1 at something?

Like I said, Marty liked big backs.

There is no way Bam Morris weight 244 pounds in 1999.

That dude was at least 275.

That's what made him good. What made him even better was was when he got a burst of speed and met the tiny secondary folks.

Craig ‘IronHead’ Heyward weight?
