Barry: Ferrari
Emmitt: Solid plow horse

I'm tired of this bullshit too. A solid plow horse doesn't end up with career numbers better than the Ferrari.

A solid plow horse doesn't absolutely destroy a Ferrari in the scoring TDs department.

You can't put together highlight reels of a solid plow horse that are just as skillful, unbelievable, and exciting as anything the Ferrari ever did. Emmitt's Houdini run against the Falcons is better than any highlight I've ever seen of Barry.

If Emmitt was a Packer his whole career nobody would make these ridiculous comparisons that serve only to further downplay the best running back ever to play the game at any level in favor of an inferior alternative.

 

[Scot]

Barry Sanders (while exciting to watch) holds the record for most carries for negative yards in a career as well as most yards lost

1114 yards lost total

 

[SixisBetter]

Barry Sanders was a gifted runner, no doubt.
However, I'd submit Jan. 2nd, 1994 was the single greatest game by a running back. You know, when Emmitt had 168 rushing yards and 10 catches for 61 yds and a touchdown in the game that decided the division winner. With a separated shoulder.
More like a thoroughbred than a plow horse.

Edit: forgot my favorite part: Against the Giants. In New York.

Dalton Schultz!

Dalton Schultz!

No Dalton Schultz???

Who's Dalton Schultz?

 

[English Cowboy]

Dwight Schultz's kid. Y'know, the guy who played Howling Mad Murdock.

 

[bbgun]

Just feed Zeke all day. No excuse for him not eclipsing 100.

 

[Scot]

Go Cowboys!

With that said I hope the Lions embarrass us on every level

Especially coaching

So much so that they fire Garrett on the spot

 

[Scot]

The Lions went 70 straight games (until last game) without a 100 rushing game


So what do we do? We allow them a 33 yard run to start the game

Woohoo!

 

[Doomsday]

Was gonna say "time for a 99 yd run by Zeke" but alas, touchback.

 

[Scot]

Three straight runs for 9 yards and a three and out

Good call coach

team is rarely prepared to start a game

team is rarely prepared to start a game

The team is rarely prepared to play a game

 

[Scot]

Seeing Kelen Moore on the sideline with Dak instills sooo much confidence that Dak will NEVER be our franchise QB

 

[yimyammer]

Does anyone know if Dallas chose to defer to the 2nd half?

If so, first time in ________ years?

 

[Dupree89]

yes defer
