Barry was an unbelievable talent. Alot of players have his shiftiness, but his central core and lower body strength are second too none. His field vision in cat like. It was an absolute treat to watch him as a kid.
-
Always loved watching Barry Sanders run the ball!
-
I'm from Detroit I remember feeling sick to my stomach when Barry retired, really the world had came to an end, it was 10 times worse than LeBron leaving the cavs!
-
I'm a diehard Cowboys fan and love Emmitt but I was a huge Barry Sanders fan! He's my all-time favorite nfl player no doubts about that! Very memorable game!
-
Whether you like Barry or Emmit more, this was probably the greatest NFL game displaying the top 2 runningbacks at their best.
-
Barry was so ahead of his time! Literally a video game running back!
-
Barry is the best and most dangerous back I've seen in the last 25 years.
-
I remember watching this game. Loved both these backs. If Sanders played for a real team he would've had multiple Superbowls
-
One of the first games Barry played, the opposing team complained that his suit had some kind of silicone slippery spray on his suit. That is a real compliment. And other teams would joke enjoying playing against the Lions so they could watch Barry run. It was fun watch him play. He would lose 5-10 yards then break one for 40-50 yards. But it was sad because owner Ford got very little support for him on the line. I have never seen anyone have "all of the right moves" like Mr. Sanders.
-
Lol on almost all of Smiths big runs he goes untouched for 15-20 yards. Meanwhile Barry had to break at least 2 tackles or make multiple guys miss to get more than a 10 yard run.
-
I love both of them. But I gotta give it to Barry🤔
-
A 1,000 years from now Barry Sanders will still be hands down the greatest RB of all time.
-
The Lions abused and wasted Sanders. So sad.
-
For the running back position Barry Sanders is truly the greatest there has ever been he is the only guy in history to rush for 1100 yards in 10 consecutive seasons and he is the only guy to rush for at least 100 yards in 14 consecutive games
-
Brings back fond memories when I was a kid/teenager in the 90's and every Thanksgiving we would go to my grandma's house out in the country. Sitting on the couch with my little brothers, my dad and uncles with bellies full of Turkey watching these 2 legends play for a decade. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Good times!
-
As a Giants fan, I can tell you both were great. Smith was always breaking things open for the Cowboys. He and Aikman tortured Giants fans. Sanders was obviously one of the most elusive and explosive running backs ever. To say one is greater than the other is pointless and a conversation for schoolyard banter. Facts tell us both were at the top of the game all time.
-
Barry Sanders the best RB I've seen by far
-
Emmitt had a competitive drive that was immeasurable! He was not as naturally gifted as Barry Sanders but he was driven to be the best! I think Emmitt would have played longer if Barry had not retired because he wanted all the records to validate his career!
-
The difference was Barry would run around you and Emmit would run through you. Barry had the speed and Emmit had the torque. I'm glad I got to see 2 of the best rbs that ever played the game.
-
Barry Sanders is my all time favorite halfback ever
