4. Barry Sanders -- I gave the reason why I rated Emmit higher, so I won't repeat. The one knock I had against Barry was that he was sometimes unwilling to realize a play was dead, and he'd backtrack 8 yards rather than just take the -1 yard loss. Of course, now and then he'd bust those open for 60+ yard gainers, but more often than not, he'd get pulled down behind the line after scrambling around for 15 seconds.

and that's a bad thing????? to never give up on a play! that has to be the dumest remark i've ever heard! you knock him because he refused to quit on a play no matter how bottle up he was, i'd say that was admirable! not like these sissy's today that see a guy coming and 3 yards before they get there run out of bounds instead of lowering the shoulder and getting another two or three. The qb slide rule, i hate that rule you're not playing baseballor vollyball, if you run with the ball you get tackeled that's the game!
