Wow, that O-Line sucks. How many times does poor Barry Sanders get hit in the backfield?Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

FWIW, in the space of a year, the Lions lost both their young starting guards. In the 91 season Lions lost RG Mike Utley to a neck injury which paralyzed him. In the summer of 92 LG Eric Andolsek was working in his front yard, and a semi ran off the highway that ran by there and killed him.
I always wondered how many more yards Sanders would have gotten if he had had an OL like the Cowboys had. (Not to say the Lions' OL would have been that good if they hadn't lost those guards. But they would have been better.) Imagine all those 2-yd losses being at minimum 2-yd gains, then add in his talent.
Of course, part of Barry's magic was to see him caught "dead-to-rights" in the backfield and somehow juke his way out of there to turn it into a gain (or even just extending the play), leaving many defenders picking up their jockstraps.Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Ben Franklin
Iain Banks missed deadline due to Civ | The eyes are the groin of the head. - Dwight Schrute.

I'd put him in the top 5, that I've seen, for sure.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Top 5? That's an interesting question.
Jim Brown
Barry Sanders
Emmitt Smith
Walter Payton
and Tomlinson.
Jim Brown for his 5+ YPC
Sanders for his explosiveness.
Emmitt Smith for longevity.
Payton for his all-around excellence. He did everything well.
I think LT has earned his spot here already, and he's not yet done.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Think of Marion Barber, but bigger, by far. "The Tyler Rose" would just as soon run over you as around you.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
