Seriously: Who would you give the ball to if it was 4th and 2 to win the Superbowl?

**bigboydan** · 10-31-05, 09:52 PM

jerome bettis or, OJ Anderson.

**clonecat** · 10-31-05, 09:56 PM

Anyone behind the Cowboys line in the 90's

**Max Levine** · 10-31-05, 09:57 PM

2 yards to go, I'm gonna go with Larry Csonka.

**Brick Tamland** · 10-31-05, 09:58 PM

The Bus...that is probably the only reason he is still around.

**SBR_John** · 10-31-05, 10:01 PM

Larry Csonka.

Absolutely great pick. He's not my pick but a great punishing running back.

**Razz** · 10-31-05, 10:02 PM

John Riggins

**Senator7** · 10-31-05, 10:05 PM

LaDainian Tomlinson. Will be the best ever by the time he's done.

Senator 7

**SBR_John** · 10-31-05, 10:19 PM

I had forgotten about Big John Riggins. He did not need any moves and didnt have any. He did however have one of the nastiest stiff arms in the history of the NFL.

Here is one of my 3 finalists:

Eric Dickerson

This incredible RB had blazing speed and power like few can imagine. He would fall down for more yards than good backs could gain. Just look at his 2nd year in the league and notice his incredible yards per carry average.

1984 L.A. Rams 379carries 2105yards 5.6avg 14td's

**bigboydan** · 10-31-05, 10:39 PM

i disagree john, they would plug the holes and, then string him out when he tries to run outside.

**SBR_John** · 10-31-05, 10:50 PM

Eric had 14 TDs that year averaging almost 6 yards a carry in route to well over 2000 yards rushing for the year. (Ever see an NFL RB avg 6 yards per carry? anyone?)

This horse did not need to run out side and di not try. He was an insde running back that used tremendous power with great balance and he simply could not be brought down with one guy.

Not a Goal line back. He bounces it out to much. Hes my favorite player, but no way would I put him in.

**bigboydan** · 10-31-05, 11:36 PM

Seriously: Who would you give the ball to if it was 4th and 2 to win the Superbowl ILL?

**onlooker** · 10-31-05, 11:37 PM

The Fridge.

**moses millsap** · 10-31-05, 11:40 PM

Walter Payton

**SBR_John** · 10-31-05, 11:44 PM

My number 2 selection out of 3 is:
Earl Campell

If your life depended on you getting 2 yards this player absolutely has to be considered and even the favorite to get the ball.

Earl had a terrible offensive line to run behind but still managed a 2000 yard season in 1980 including 4 consecutive games where he gained over 150 yards. Earl was money. At 5'11" and a thundering 240 lbs Earl out ran safetys and cornerbacks in the open field. He was the fastest big man to ever hit the grid iron, but as fast as he was it was his power that was his calling card or killing card depending on if you had to try to tackle him.

yes, that would be a damn fine choice john. that guy could mow over anyone in his hey day.

**Razz** · 11-01-05, 12:11 AM

Hey not bad, my list was
1. Riggins
2. Campbell
3. Payton

**rm18** · 11-01-05, 01:22 AM

Well if your at the two yard line Shaun Alexander, in the middle of the field Eric Dickerson

**denn333** · 11-01-05, 01:27 AM

Bo Jackson.....Bo knows getting to the goal line on fourth and 2.

**onlooker** · 11-01-05, 01:54 AM

Mike Alstott can also pound it in.

**SBR_John** · 11-01-05, 01:56 AM

Very good picks!!!! Oustanding. Bo Jackson is strong.

My 3rd selection is Walter Payton. Walter had incredible 1st gear speed and was like a hard thrown bowling ball. On 4th and 2 you would simply pitch left and the man they called Sweetness would get it done. The game has never seen a running back that had the power and speed with a center of gravity around the sock line.

**bigboydan** · 11-01-05, 02:01 AM

john, if thats the case about payton, why didn't ditka give him the ball in the superbowl ???
