So I've been watching a highlight video of this guy Mike Alstott:
youtube.com/watch?v=neGgjpeTUrs
And it got me thinking, who was the tankiest RB in nfl history?

the bus, alstott for sure.. Corey Dillon was reckless

The Broncos are easily the best team in the NFL and are the clearly the team of America with high class players and an elite defense. There's literally nobody who can stop them if Trevor develops at a decent pace not the Patriots or even the Chiefs even though those are the only teams that would have even a shell of a chance.

#ILoveLiveDenver

Wasn't he just a fullback though?

Jerome Bettis was pretty huge for a pure running back.

1st for 7-9.

Pocket Hercules pushed through some of the smallest holes I've ever seen and he was like 5'7" in cleats. Also never forget the Shawne Merriman pancake.

Wouldnt it be crazy rn...if the bucs and the browns and detroit and buffalo all had won a playoff game more recently than the bengals...

Really makes you think

Literally my first favorite player from when I was a young lad.
I did not ask for these feels, but I relish them.

>Went to class today
>sport group of friends were actually interested in a good way about the raiders season
>ask me, the only raider fan in the group, how I feel about it
>" I just hope for a winning season"
>nah user your team looks good this year
H-how do I respond to those types of comments
They were more excited about the season than I was

These years of shit have really taken a toll on our fanbase. Its nice to not be shitted on from all angles anymore but this level of optimism is uncharted territory.

Don't let it get to your head. Low expectations and you'll always win.

>nah they look good this year
I don't care I won't believe it until they have more than 8 wins. People ask me what I expect from the raiders and I tell them jack shit like every other year. [spoiler]feels bad man[/spoiler]

This loser mindset is what defines "RaderNation" in the modern area. You've all become sad and pathetic under the rule of Denver. I almost feel bad for you all.

>Gronk officially ruled out

SEASON OVER WILL BOSTON EVER RECOVER

Just got into fantasy, don't live in murica. How do I find a group of competitive retards to play against?

>everyone keeps talking to me about how good the raiders will be this year
>tfw scared of optimism

Okoye with his fucking cartoon shoulder pads.

Every team comes crashing down to earth eventually. Even BB had a 2008. Is this the year the Seahawks will finally dip below double-digit wins?

He's getting the injury out of the way early this year

The best part was that he was such a force that no one ever saw his juke coming. It kind of worked like a Randy Johnson's slider.

I'm so excited for this game. Who is everyone betting on? I think CLE will win with memeball.

>tfw Today is my birthday, and it only serves as a reminder of everything I didn't do throughout the course of the year.
>tfw I promised myself it'll be different this year
>mfw I know it won't be.


At least I can drown out my crippling depression and anxiety with some football

thanks for reminding me that this shitty site is just everyone's personal blog

Let's talk Football then.

Favorite team, expected W-L. Go!

You're welcome.

What do you expect from a sports forum on an Anime image board where the target demographic is mid 20s manchildren

Chargers will win 7 games this season.

Can only say over the last 10 years but the best I ever saw in terms of physicality and consistently trucking people has to be Marion Barber. Dude bulldozed guys more often than any other RB I've watched and that includes Marshawn Lynch, Brandon Jacobs, Adrian Peterson, LenDale White etc

youtube.com/watch?v=T10HhTt2XJk

He also had one of the the best nicknames of all time Marion the Barbarian man It's such a shame his legs gave out on him so early in his career. The videos definitely worth watching the whole way through

I'm not a fan of either but am excited to see how the rebuild and hue regime pans out

Is Denver going to have a good season?
I'm a fan, and I want an outside perspective on what they look like. Siemian doesn't look bad imo. A few mistakes to clean up, but overall the defense is still solid. We really should have tried to sign back another safety.

bruton and bolden were meh and wanted too much, both rookie safeties especially simmons look very promising desu. Im more worried about the end opposite wolfe whoever it is

It will go like any other "rebuild" the Browns have tried for the past couple years. I give Hue two years before he's gone.

As an unbiased puckerfag both teams secondarys looked like dogshit. Your front 7 are going to be the best in the league though.

>expecting the R******s to cure your crippling depression

wtf is that shopped? Why does it look like that?

Nig looks like a fucking space marine.

Sorry bro, you still share a division with the queefs and the world champion currently undefeated Denver fucking Broncos. Better luck next year unless The Walrus has another heart attack and the chefs descend into mediocrity again.

>his team doesn't have the cutest qb

>Madden '17 picks Jaguars over packers by 20 points

What's wrong with Rawls?

AFC West rankings at the end of season prediction
>Broncos (undefeated or 14-2)
>Raiders (wild card or get cucked like jets last season)
>Chiefs (did someone say 8-8?)
>chargers (6-10)

>Broncos (undefeated or 14-2)

It's happening.

Earl Campbell
He was the perfect RB
Speed to compliment power and boy was there a lot of power

But a player whos just a brick shithouse, Christian Okoye. He was a big fucking guy with big fucking pads

I will happily admit I think this game will be one of the most difficult for the Pack dude. This game has upset written all over it if they dont start off quick.

so, now that it's officially 2013 again, who do we lose to in the AFCCG?

Steelers.

good one user

jets

Broncos, again.

I'd wager the Packers start faster than the Jags. Packers have DBs that can handle Allen&Allen but Jags don't have enough to handle Nelson/Cobb

>tfw darian stewart still has that ravens brutality to him and regularly attempts to kill apposing players

What do you guys do when your team leaves your city?
Support that franchise?
Support the team nearest to you?
Bandwagon?
kys?

Yup. Excited

sigh
I wish Brady could just teleport the baseball to his receivers. There is just no win with this horrid OL.

RARE FLAG

True dat.

Pretty much resigned to the fact that I'm going to grow old and die alone

Dude's calves were the size of bowling balls

youtube.com/watch?v=UFcIbecfUhU

>I don't know what constitutes a small town
either a small part of a big city, or somewhere out in a buttfuck state like Montana
personally I went with two places (Roslindale, MA, then moved to North Conway, NH) because my childhood was basically split between them.
>Fun fact: Don Orsillo went to my high school

>His """team""" doesn't have an elite white FB

But >my team has Woodhead.

Falcons
Matt Ryan
Mike Vick
Michael Jordan

I'm excited about him but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I said full back, not 1/8th back.

>that two handed carry when he broke away

Janovich is cute. CUTE.

But it does

>2 threads

I like a man who protects his balls.

ANIT GETTIN THAT SHIT PUNCHED OUT FROM BEHIND. NUH UH

Earl Campbell. He ran away, past, around and through people. He was a faster Jim Brown.

New to football here

What exactly does YAC (Yards After Carry) mean for a receiver?

That's he's good at catching and going? Or is it a complete luck stat? Is there something top YAC players do that the bottom ones don't?

Also does YAC have any implications on the QB because a ball has to be well thrown in order for a receiver to continue with it as opposed to being dropped immediately whether it be by himself diving or the defense getting to him?

Elusive, fast, or both.

"Yards After Catch (YAC) is the term used in American football for the distance gained by a receiver after catching a pass. Specifically, it is the forward yardage gained from the spot of the reception until the receiver is downed, runs out of bounds, scores, or loses the ball."

It means he's athletic enough to get some extra yards and/or his QB doesn't hang him out to dry.

He's not around enough girls with fetishes that qualify as mental illness.

It's a meme stat

Player A: makes 40 yard jumping catch and plants onto the ground after catch-0 YAC
Player B: makes 7 yard snag and continues on for 10 yards: 10 YAC

But which was better? Answer is obvious and why YAC is a meme

If your QB is a checkdown babby, then it means a lot.

Yup. The stat is too situational to mean anything.

i'm new too. do you have a team yet?

Well I live in Rockford so by default my team will be the Bears.

Thanks for the answers friends.

>stats can be evaluated on a single play

You don't get it, do you?

Tfw Jags totally fuck Green Bay up something like 42-17 this Sunday.
