I don't think there will ever be another runner like him for the simple reason that all those moves & re-directions he'd do are coached out of young backs these days. Big Grin
Gio Bernard has some Barry Sanders in him...he had a run last year (can't remember vs who) Where he ran like 80yrds for a 20yrd td...an almost exact replica of a highlight I've seen over and over from Sanders...

The days of Emmitt, Barry, LT and other running backs filling up the hobby as much as QBs is a thing of the past.

I think it is a sad thing for the hobby.
i feel the same way as you man. I miss the old days, well not so old like 2000-2008 when backs had a chance and the rules weren't so in favor of passing. In another 5-10 years it will be virtually flag football at this rate. It sucks.

Not For Long

Actually you have the Patriots to thank for all the forced pass happy rules changes….
