NFL Explained: The GREATEST Running Back Season in NFL History! 

Those numbers look comical now.

Yes!

yes

@@JDogg-ue9if lmao what

@@JDogg-ue9if I believe you believe you're making sense.

Lol Willie roaf

@Join me on Parler at: JackTanner And those are just the guys that I think have no shot at getting in. That doesn't even include Shaun Alexander, who I hope gets in soon. Greatest 5-year stretch ever

@Join me on Parler at: JackTanner for sure

Edgerrin James who led the whole league in rushing yards

I think a few of those guys (Eddie and Corey) will eventually get in but, much later. Think of guys our dads and grandads watched who are just now getting in and waited for decades! It might take a long time but, I could see it happening

@Join me on Parler at: JackTanner to

@jordan5221 - that goes without saying because the 2000 Ravens defense needs no introduction

And al Davis loves speed.

@jordan5221 l brought them up in a separate post. But anyone visiting a throwback page knows who I'm talking about

@@NCR_Trooper_jpxfrd Now the league is all about it and ironically, the Raiders aren't even the fastest team in their own division anymore. Imagine Tim Brown, James Jett, Rocket Ismail, and Alexander Wright in THIS LEAGUE.

Ray Lewis is a top 10 player ever.He was a game changer.Also the big DTackles in Sam Adams and Siragusa were great.Both like 340-350lbs eated other Olines.Running it inside was very hard.Running it outside when chased by Boulware,Sharper,Ray,Burnett and McCrary was even harder cause they could establish position really fast and fly around.Maybe the best defense ever and certainly the best run defense of all time.Blocks were being shed like Pandas shed bamboo trees.It was insane.Even when teams threw it the pocket didnt last much.That team was about that life.Secondary great too led by Rod Woodson and Chris McAlister.Special teams great too.Still that team holds records that its hard to ever be broken and some probably wont

Like Alvin kamara and CMC

Edgerin James too!

So did Edgerrin James (50+ catches most seasons) and Ladainian Tomlinson (100catches in a season)

@Keith Cousins running backs, because you can include both HBs AND FBs Besides, the title of this video even says running backs. Lol

@Keith Cousins halfback tailback fullback running back who cares besides you? NOBODY

@Keith Cousins no, you were the only one who cared. You tried to spell-check someone's comment for no reason. Lol

@Keith Cousins "quit cryin'" - Philip Rivers

@Keith Cousins Kirk who? You mean the QB who plays for a team that let Mitch Trubisky knock them out of the playoff race? Sorry, don't need permission from that dude. Trace McSorley would wipe the floor with that dude!

*2 more season

Probably 3 more years really!? But.....

@@stephenraftery6407 facts bro, I'm a ravens fan but he's still imo the best and one of my favorite running backs, and just imagine if he had a good o-line

But he didn't, he quit.

@@TheWard1ne he quit because he was to loyal to Lions to play for any other team Believe me....they were throwing ridiculous money his way.........unwavering in his principles

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 whoa

Most 1000 yard rushers of any season… and yet the 2000 Ravens STILL have the best run defense of all time.

im a colts fan and i dont understand how he isnt tbh ik he only had 1 pro bowl but still

David Barton That's for sure!

Drew Price Yeah I couldn't believe he only made 1. Must have been the effect of playing in Jacksonville lol.

I’ve always felt he is a Hall of Famer.. he was elite the majority of his career, did well without Mark Brunell, was amongst league leaders every year, in a brutal division (stillers, Ravens, Titans, bengals, browns) productive runner without the best pieces around him

@@paulconnordrums8936 yea i just think the afc had great rbs while he was playing and like u said playing in Jacksonville they didnt really start winning that many games until after he was gone

Then they had Tatum Bell and Clinton Portis who also ran for 1000+ yards.Fhe Shannahan System was like PEDs for Running back stats.Hell they were all going for like 1500 yards

Epic O line

Olandis Gary

The shanaha

Damn does that really make TD a hof tho

Facts

Definitely agree we got to watch so many greats. LT, Priest Holmes, Ricky Williams, Edgerrin James, Marshal Faulk, Stephen Jackson, Fred Taylor, Corey Dillon, Shaun Alexander, Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Frank Gore, Adrian Peterson, Eddie George, Curtis Martin, Tiki Barber, Marshawn Lynch, Travis Henry, Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, Larry Johnson, Cedric Benson, Deuce McCalister, Thomas Jones, Stephen Davis, Michael Pittman, Jamal Lewis, Duce Staley, Willie Parker, Brian Westbrook, Emmitt Smith, Jerome Bettis, Mike Alstott, Marion Barber, Ahman Green, Warrick Dunn, CJ2K, Arian Foster, and a few more all these guys tore it up at some point in the 2000s. Some came from the 90s while others carried on into the 2010s and a few which we all know are still playing.

@Keith Cousins leave him alone

Yea I would say 80s-00s

Kinda like how the 90’s was great for Centers in the NBA.

Eddie George was the Madden 2001 cover player What sealed the game for the Ravens? McNair’s screen pass to Eddie George was taken away by Ray Lewis for a pick-six

@@mjwatts1983 yup...Baltimore imposing its will on Tennessee. What's forgotten is how great the Titans were that year on defense. They only allowed 191 points themselves. Baltimore and Tennessee's defenses played each other even...defense and special teams won that game in Nashville. I remember my dad and me watching knowing the Raiders got either one the way Mickey was watching Clubber Lang knock everyone out at the beginning of Rocky III.

Tiki Barber got his yards in garbage tine while down 20.When it mattered he got almost nothing

And they were the Underdogs in All 4 games including being 7 point underdogs in the Super Bowl.

Bucs in 2002 and Ravens in 2000 greatest defenses of all time

This vid is masterful

War eagle

Just looked it up: 4 receivers had over 1500 yards receiving, 23 hit the 1,000 mark, and 7 receivers caught over 100 passes (including 3 who caught at least 120). All of this in the era before fancy gloves and the new rules. Insane.

@@gatienlaurol5793 pretty crazy. Is there anything better than football stats??

@@teddyconover1619 If there is, I haven’t found it yet.

*1995 Leading Receivers* 1848 Jerry Rice 1781 Issac Bruce 1686 Herman Moore 1603 Michael Irvin 1497 Robert Brooks 1488 Brett Perriman *2020 Leading Receivers* 1535 Stefon Diggs 1416 Travis Kelce 1407 DeAndre Hopkins 1400 Justin Jefferson 1374 Davante Adams 1374 Calvin Ridley

There’s already 13 quarterbacks who have accumulated 3,500 passing yards this season. Another 3 of them should certainly get it like Big Ben, Tannehill and Bridgewater. Also Mayfield and if healthy Derek Carr have a chance at it. So we could potentially look at 18 quarterbacks with 3,500 passing yards. And that’s even with guys like Wentz, Prescott, Brees and Burrow missing time despite being on pace for it.

Yeah remember when passing the ball over 40 times a game was considered too much? Nowadays it's almost routine.

@@raymondsmith2040 While a team may finish with 28 rush attempts between two or three backs and/or the qb if he can move.

@@raymondsmith2040 yeah different game and rule changes . NFL is soft today

@@Terror832 Tannehill also is playing with a back that is only 321 yards away from 2K with 2 games left.

Nah. Hall of very good maybe

Just the fact that there was a time that Rice, Irvin, T.O., and Moss were in the league at one time, makes your list look cute.

@@benhatfield8831 Rice, Irvin, T.O. and Moss are 4 of the top 5 receivers of all time were all in the league and still prime. If I had to pick a year I would say 1998, because that was TO's first year hitting his prime, Randy Moss' first year to where he had 1300 yards and 17 tds, Jerry Rice still put up great stats over 1000 years 9 tds despite sharing time with TO who was putting 1150 yards and 14 tds. 98 was Michael Irvin's last year before getting the career ending neck injury early on in 1999. 98 you can even add, Keyshawn Johnson, Tim Brown, Cris Carter Rod Smith, Eric Moulds hitting his first prime year with 1368 and 9 tds. And I could say Marvin Harrison but he only played 12 games that year, so he only got a little less than 800 yards, and it was the year before his stats really took off. That's 7 hall of famers and potentially 8 because Rod Smith is one of the nominated for this coming year. But that 2015 is still a great one though because there is about 5 that will probably be in the hall of fame. Its just not as great as that 98 year when you include that year plus entire careers. And the fact that 98 was not a passing league with extremely easy rules like 2015 makes it that much more impressive

👍

Fred Taylor was good as hell man💯

Don’t ever disrespect McNair like that again #TTFU

@@bsanders113 or what? Lol gtfoh keyboard tough guy Steve me nuts groupie lol

@@GalacticCenterOG bruh it’s a joke

Jamal Lewis won offensive player of the year I think. But Priest Holmes should’ve won league MVP hands down.

I remember Ladanian Tomlinson ran for 1,600 yards and caught 100 passes in '03 and didn't even make the pro bowl, that's how good running backs were that year.

Interesting

Well this video helps. Lol

He is one of the greatest athletes ever out on earth but remember the steroid era was mainly baseball

@@memeteam2692 football too. Basically all sports was juicing big time during that era.

Sanders did play with pro bowlers and all pro olineman though. They weren't legendary but they were still a great oline.

I can't argue with Barry did but with Jim Brown did when he played against 10 Man fronts in the box with one receiver passing offensive sets with his all out physical style can't be forgotten.... The man averaged a hundred yards a game in over 5 yards of carry playing on mud soaked Fields against 10 man fronts every single Sunday that is insane!!!😳 Playing against Lombardi's Packers the Minnesota Vikings purple eaters with Jim Marshall Carl Eller and that insane front line they had then the Rams with Deacon Jones and Merlin Olson and a whole host of other great defenses I love Barry Sanders but I find myself going back between him and Jim as the best ever

Ya. Could almost see what Fred Taylor’s eye color is lol

@@oddbigking9069 Real talk🤣🤣🤣

Derrick Henry is showing what a legit work horse STUD can do 4 a team

That's only one hall of fame. Eddie George might get in at sometime. As for Johnson and Henry they had only 1 great season. Just by going by your standards if you are going to include one great season, Cowboys is Smith, Dorsett, Elliott, and Murray. At least 2 of them are in the hall of fame,

It makes sense, you stop the run you win against 26 teams.

IMHO O.J. Simpson had the best rushing season in NFL history averaging over 147 ypg.

They don't like to talk about him nowadays

I RB

Love RB

6 quarterbacks finished with 4,600 passing yards or more Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Stafford, Eli Manning and Rivers

Its crazy that it happened the only year Peyton Manning missed an entire year during his career. They were all talking like his reign as top qb was over, not even top 10 anymore. And he comes back and wins qb of the year twice, an mvp and the greatest season in NFL history for a qb. So he at least made up for missing that year.

2018 was pretty crazy also. 5 guys alot 4600-5100. But what was crazy was 8 qbs had 31-50 passing tds that season. But I think this season broke it, I think like 9 or 10 guys got 31 or more tds. Defense is trash now, way to easy to play qb now.
