The Game Where Fans Realized Barry Sanders Was Not Human (Lions vs Vikings) 

Technically they wouldn't quite fit

@@threatassessment606 technically your answers are relevant and stupid

Lol i just pictured that. Funny

Sure he would, if Jim Brown was carrying him on his shoulders.

I think this is MJ talking about Larry Bird!

Bears and Walter Payton fan here. Very privileged to see both these men play so many times. Barry was special.

Agreed

From a Cowboy fan… I couldn’t agree with you more. The whole world knows he would’ve left Emmit behind had he not retired

Emmit smith was a plow horse compared to barry

I miss using him on Tecmo Super Bowl

For sure the most entertaining. Him Payton and Smith are all 3 the Goats imo for different reasons. With Adrian Peterson getting the most talented nod from me. If he wasnt hampered by Injuires and missed multiple full seasons he could have gone down at the number 1 spot. Such a beautiful combination of power and speed. So much potential that never gotta fully realized(He's still had a great career regardless)

lol love barry but emmit was was just as good

@@jamiecurry9823 Barry was way more athletic and made crazier plays in terms of making people miss. Emmitt was amazing at finding holes and had some of the best Balance I've ever seen. If you didn't wrap Emmitt up he wasn't going down. Dude could regain his balance from any hit. A game against the Gaints he damn near went sideways and somehow got his feet back under himself. Barry,Emmitt, and Walter Payton are the GOATS and trying to pick one is pointless to me.

@@Midv1322 lol love them both they my 2 fav rb

If he played for Dallas, he would have 25-30k rushing yards. Best of his era. What's most impressive about backs like Sanders, Smith, and Payton is how great they were for so long. So many of the "best" running backs over the past 20 years: they could be considered the best one year, and retire 2 years later (AP an exception). Sanders was the best player I've ever seen. Only Rice comes close.

Cuz Barry had no lineman that could block

@@davidtebout6789 Facts!! When he got a decent whole he would have long runs.

He refused to use a fullback too

@@davidtebout6789 That's a false narrative but....

@@supersexysega Barry was one of the most "contacted behind the line" running backs ever to have enjoyed unlimited success... so, yeah, he had a great front line. Sure, man. The only reason Dallas' Smith rushed farther during his career was his front line, making Barry the better individual runner. Barry is king, and this is coming from a University of Florida fan that has met Smith in town on a number of occasions before he went pro ans skipped his senior year. Don't get me wrong, Smith is awesome and I'm still a huge fan... But Barry was a better RB based on his own merit and a master of his craft. Basically Barry was untouchable... a one in 1 Million player, literally.

I was there and still have the ticket!

You, me, and the great Tony Casillas are still looking for where Barry went to when he ducked out of reality in one spot and seemingly reappeared in another place. Tony C. was SO bewildered he watched Barry disappear from in front his right shoulder (10 feet away), felt him run behind him and show up over his left, sending goodbyes. Only Tony's neck moved on his body, as his head turned in a 180, looking for where BS went. Never gets old. (Curtis Martin's highlight real has a similar run vs. The Patriots, where he spins Lawyer Milloy around like a top.) It's a "Yo, where'd he go?" move.

He messed number 51 up

I don't know if it was THAT run or this run that is my favorite: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OFB3fVFs3jk.html I just sat there going....how do you do that?!?!?! This guy has those two plays as top 3, as shown here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYBPSTaoL1w.html He puts his run against Tampa as #1, but I would put that at 3. Not that juking HOF John Lynch out of his shoes wasn't dazzling, but he's done that too SO MANY HOF defensive players, it's comical. LOVE BARRY....

Me too and I'm a cowboys fan I saw it live on tv

Imagine if he had played on a good team!

And never won nothing the Lions SUCK

@@txaggievet imagine if he played more than 10 years....

@@txaggievet Imagine if he had help 😂

The closest player we’ve seen have the same shifty run style was shady McCoy but he definitely didn’t have the same explosive runs as Barry though no one ever will.

I'm a 50 yr Lion fan and loved Sanders but he was not as good as Walter Payton. No running back that was taken out of the game on 3rd down passing situations and at the goalline can be the best ever. Payton had just as many highlight runs, was maybe the best pass catching rb in history and was definitely the best blocking rb ever. Payton killed blitzers. And Paytons offensive line was worse than Sanders and Chicago had the worst QBs ever. The other team knew Payton was getting the ball and he still ran through them. Walter Payton is the best player in the last 60 years. People can have Sanders...Emmitt...Jerry Rice...the only player that is on the same level as Payton is Lawrence Taylor. I loved Barry Sanders but its really not that close to Payton. Watch some documentaries on Payton they are incredible

@@williamgullett5911 It's not fair to compare anybody to Lawrence Taylor. Thank Heavens for quarterbacks there has only been one like him.

@@milt6208 LT would be the one guy I would put ahead of Payton

@@williamgullett5911 I saw Sanders play twice against Dallas in Detroit. That was a pure treat. I also remember going to the restroom and there were three lines. One to the toilets one to the urinals and one to the sinks and no one was washing their hands. But waiting in line these two girls were behind me and asked if they could come and use the toilet. I said sure it was okay to come in. I told them it was went us guys tried to go into their restrooms that there might be a problem. Boy have times changed.

There's an old story about Sanders from OSU, when as a sophomore he was backing up Senior Thurman Thomas. While playing OSU, then Oklahoma head coach Barry Switzer cautioned his defense to take it easy on All-American Thomas because his back-up was better than he was.

If he had not retired and pimped himself after his prime like Emmitt Smith did instead he would have set an all time rushing yards record that would never have been touched.

Bo?

Ill take it a few steps further…..most elusive and greatest RB of all-time.

@Baba Ganush compare their stats. Barry Sanders is better. A career 99.8 rushing yards per game. Sayers has 72.7 yards per game. A shorter career should see better averages, but Sanders had a high average sustained over a 10 year career. Sayers couldn't match that with his 5 years.

@Baba Ganush Gale Sayers…..I can respect that. You ever seen the movie Brian’s Song?

Appreciate the love. We feel the same about Rodgers even with how many times he’s burned us. Too talented and productive to not just sit and watch and say “damn”

@Chisom Kwubiri Saquon is a really good running back...when healthy. Saquon can't, and doesn't move like Barry at all. Saquon in 3 seasons has already missed 17 games, while Barry missed only 2 games in his first 3 seasons. Saquon has missed more games, actually more than double, already than Barry did(8)in his 10 year career. Aside from all the magnificent runs Barry had in his career, he was a unanimous first ballot HOF selection. 5 seasons of 1,500 rush yards or more, including a 1,880 plus, and a 2,000 plus. 2 seasons just shy of 1,500. The year Barry got hurt and missed 5 games, he still rushed for over 1,100 yards. Saquon's rookie season mirrors Barry's 2nd season in numbers, but Barry's rookie season, even with missing a game, was better than his 2nd season. Pump the brakes with the comparisons. Saquon has a long, long, long way to go to even be mentioned on the same level as Barry. In 2019, Saquon played 13 games, and rushed for 1,003 yards. In 1997, Barry gained exactly 2,000 yards in the last 14 games of the season, after only gaining 54 total in the first 2. 1 more game played and a 997 yard difference...LOL! There has been only one true magician at RB in NFL history, and his name is in the title of this video.

D’andre swift is it

You forgot about the bearings in his ankles? I have never seen another running back who can put so much stress on his ankles and not have them blow out. Ankles are really the weakest part of the runner’s legs and typically limits what a human can do when cutting and slicing their way down field. I remember seeing a picture on the cover of Sports Illustrated, I believe, that caught Barry making a serious stop on a dime while cutting back to his right. His ankles didn’t even look natural, proving that he was inhuman. With his feet flat on the carpet, his ankles were bent on a 45° angle to the field. Damnedest thing I have ever seen. I was never a Lions fans, especially since I live in central Florida, so I am a Buccaneers fan and the Lions were in the same division with the Bucs for many years when it was the Central Division, but I was a huge Barry Sanders fan. I watched him run live many times because they would come to Tampa once every season. I never missed Barry when he was in town. The only thing that sucks about Barry was his early retirement, basically handing the crown over to Emmit Smith, when Smith isn’t worthy to smell Barry’s jock strap. We all know that Barry was the best, but history will not record him that way, but he could have put that record far out of reach for the likes of Emmit, who just played for a team with a powerful lime that could open massive holes. It makes a big difference when you play for a three time Super Bowl team, as opposed to a middle of the road squad. For Barry to excel in Detroit really proved his talent. Could you imagine what kind of numbers Barry could have racked up on a team with a superb line, like Washington was at that time with their Hogs? Those Hogs opened holes a semi could drive through, allowing mediocre runners to get huge yards. Timmy Smith still holds the super bowl rushing record…. Timmy who?? Right. He was a nobody who was cut from Washington a year or two later. He wasn’t very good, but you didn’t have to be to scoot through those massive holes Joe Jacoby and Russ Grim blew through defensive lines. Barry’s record would be untouchable if he had a line that good, but he still could have smashed the career record with the Lions, had he played another two or three years. His father was an asshole, always telling him he’d never top Jim Brown.

@@RoarOfWolverine The Packers had the chance to unite Brett Favre with Barry Sanders. That combo would have been insane to watch.

Always been a big fan of Barry if I saw think I would pass out.

@paul trouskie:he would HAVE gotten a ring,if Detroit hadn't have had this paralysis whenever going into RFK Stadium,and just"bent-over"for the Redskins in a 41-10 rout(after losing to the Redskins 45-7 at RFK earlier that year)after DEMORALIZING the Cowboys 38-6 ,in the Divisional Playoff a week prior!! See,the Lions were UNdefeated not ONLY at home,in the Silverdome,but UNbeaten INside of a domed stadium PERIOD!! Had the Lions overcome their terror of playing at RFK,the Superbowl that year was played at the Minneapolis MetroDOME,an enviroment where Detroit was INVINCIBLE!!

I wish he would've gotten at least a sniff of one. 1 playoff win. Detroit really blew it and wasted his talents.

Rod Woodson, and he never laid a hand on him

He could've had the rushing title but he decided to retire after 9 yrs. He was ahead of Emmitt Smith the year he decided to retire.

@@JMPedersen32 I remember seeing a documentary about him and he said that the organization and culture of losing made him not enjoy the game as much and that made him retire. Sad how they couldn’t get many good players around him and absolutely ZERO good coaches.

He holds lots of notable records lol

@@tohitAC0 my understanding is that while he has impressive stats and individual accomplishments such as multiple all-pro and pro-bowl selections, he does not hold the records he once had any longer. I could be wrong, and he might actually hold some obscure records for tackles-for-loss or negative yards from scrimmage…but that’s not what I was referring to. Are you aware of records he holds currently?

@@thebroadwyz a few off the top of my head are stuff like: most 1,100 .. 1,300 .. 1,400 .. 1,500 yard rushing seasons.

Packers fan here...never realized I was watching greatness on the other side of the ball. Imagine what Barry could have done with an above-average OL.

@@elmarko9051 Did you know that the Packers actually had the chance to draft Barry Sanders? In the 1989 NFL draft Dallas took Troy Aikman with the #1 pick. With the #2 pick the Packers took an offensive tackle by the name of Tony Mandarich who turned out to be a huge flop and was released by the Packers in 1992. With the 3rd pick overall the Detroit Lions drafted Barry Sanders. Isn't that crazy??

@@elmarko9051 Greatest player all time!!!

Ha! I WISH Reggie White played against a few of the earlier greats. Joe Greene once said that the only time he was EVER happy a player was injured and had to leave the field was when Donnie Shell pasted EARL CAMBELL and knocked him out of the game in 1978. Reggie's comment made me think of that...

But Erik Williams handled him pretty well. Lol.

Agreed. He even said himself that the reason he ran like that is because he was running for his life.

It's a false narrative

@@supersexysega It wasn't the worst line in the world but you could hardly say it was consistently good. They had a few good years where they really gelled but over Barry's 10-year career, his lineman accounted for 9 total pro-bowl appearances. Not stellar work.

@@skimpreza Not going to really get into the pro bowl thing and how flawed/misleading that arguement can be especially on the offensive line. I am a Cowboys fan and have seen enough mediocre offensive lineman go there because of a fan base or reputation as often as they actually deserve to based on play. I think a much better evaluator is how long guys last in the league as starters and get paid when there contracts come up. Barry generally always had 4-5 guys in front of him that ended up being 10+ year starters. 10+ year starter and mediocre offensive lineman generally don't go hand in hand. Just having Lomas Brown and Kevin Glover gave Barry 2 of 5 for most of his career. They would also get help over the years from Bill Fralic, Dave Lutz, David Richard's, Jeff Hartings, Mike Compton, Doug Widell, Zefross Moss, Ray Robert's. He more often then not had average/good offensive lines. Sometimes very good.

@@supersexysega I never really understood the "no o-line" argument. Glover was considered one of the best centers in the league. And he wasn't the only solid player on the o-line.

Wow!.

Thats better than luck... that was a blessing. And that you appreciate the memory is an honor to your experience.

I’m a Cowboys fan I agree 100%

2nd best in my opinion Jim Brown was the best, but Sanders is a close second

@@kdmecosolutions I think both had a few good years left

He may have been the best at the time but I think you could say there were better backs since that. You can argue that Gale Sayers or Jim Brown or Tony Dorsett, Bo Jackson. Sanders was great but you can’t say there will never be any better. That’s unrealistic.

@@chiwawa130 Good point I am a little biased though

I'm a Lion fan since the early 70s...loved Sanders...but...he wasnt even close to Walter Payton. Sanders was taken out on 3rd down passing situations...Sanders didn't block...he couldn't catch the ball. Payton was a great receiver, a punishing blocker who tore blitzers up, and had a lit of highlight runs too. There isnt a better player in the last 40 years with the exception of maybe Lawrence Taylor

Maybe less cause the whole offense wouldn’t be based on him if they had a great offense and defense carried the load. That 91 team was pretty good overall just lacked a franchise QB.

Not yards, miles...

@@williamgullett5911 I'm of similar age as you, seen them both play. Sanders is still the superior runner. Also, he caught plenty of passes and blocked well. Sanders also fumbled less. Payton was a freak, but Sanders was even superior.

@@tohitAC0 They took Sanders out on passing downs, he did not block ever, they took Sanders out on short goalline plays and Payton was the best blocking running back ever and great pass catcher who played every down. On 3rd and passing downs and at the goalline. Payton had nearly 200 more receptions than Sanders, more reception TDs, more rushing TDs, more total TDs, Payton was also a really good kick returner early in his career. Payton threw more TDs than any other RB(8). All better than Sanders.. Sanders had less fumbles, the only thing he beat Payton in. Payton was better than Sanders in everything else. I watched Sanders his whole career for my team, he wasn't close to Walter Payton. The problem with watching players is that everyone looks at the highlight runs...the highlight dunks...the ESPN Sportscenter clips that make a guys dunks and highlight reel runs cloud analysis of players. People fall prisoner to flashy plays and overlook everything else.

Great video too

Same.. the 90s were it. it's so weird lookin back at how bad the quality of television was back then. In those days, everything on TV seemed okay to me but now comparing it to today, jeez 😂

@@ClasherSports everything on TV sucked then and now, except sports. Just my opinion. Only then the NBA was great and now its 3 pointers and flopping

Also, a lifelong Cowboys fan. Yeah, Barry Sander was the worth the price of admission. Actually, Bo Jackson made a lot of runs that look ridiculous in hindsight. But, props to Dorsette and Emmitt. Much love, brothers. Much love.

@@lonnieeastin6401 as a life long eagles fan Barry was better but people act like emmit wasnt awesome. Emmit wasnt all the wall of Dallas. Dude could run. Both were special and I'm so happy I grew up in that era.

Facts 💯

Magic is a good word to describe Barry, I was a kid in the 90s and my family was Bucs fans. And the Lions and Bucs were divisional rivals at the time. But I would love watching Barry run all over the Bucs. I wanted the Bucs to win every game but damn Barry was just undeniable

Facts

He didn't really need one... almost defeats his specialty. Let them pursue/make them miss/jets+juke stick. He turned chaos into beauty

True, but I don't think it was like his o-lines were always awful. Kevin Glover and Lomas Brown were both pro bowlers in, say, 1995. But I would have LOVED to see what Barry would do behind the Great Wall of Dallas (early to mid Dallas Cowboy o-line) or the '76 Raider o-line, two of the best o-lines EVER...

You see what happened once they gave him a fullback, he rushed for 2k yards that season

He would have been a cheat code in a video game with a decent O-Line.

Facts 💯 every thanksgiving we gave thanks for Barry Sanders

yup, what steph curry is to the NBA now, barry sanders was to the NFL

Then you like losing teams

It's called loyalty, something a lot of people don't understand

Besides Bama spanking Miami right now

@@DanJoymonger Loyalty huh wow ok to a bunch of losers' good you keep been loyal and I will keep my ticket money, now I see why the Ford family keep a losing team so you loyalists will keep the cash flowing.

So you're a troll. Ok well take that negativity somewhere else please, thanks, bye

Or make it to field goal range and let Hanson take care of it. Jason Hanson is one of the all time leading scorers in the nfl

Lol. Nah they had Moore and Perriman too.

Actually, Sanders came up just short of 100 yards per game (99.8). I believe that Jim Brown is the only player to average more than 100 yards per game (104.3), he averaged 5.2 yards per carry, and led the league in rushing in 8 of his 9 seasons. I don't mean this to be a negative comment about Sanders, certainly not with his greatness, it's just an FYI. No one comes closer to Brown than Sanders.

I forgot Vikings Rich Gannon I only remembered him in Oakland

@@veniljackson47 you and everyone else. I remember him there now that I was reminded of it. But still hard to picture

Thats a dream Team offense. Give me 85 bears defense Terell Owens and Micheal Irvine and Joe Montana

@@MrRckstdy77 as much as I like the 85 Bears, there were a couple of Giants defenses with Lawrence Taylor I think were just as good. LT was a bad man.

Casuals maybe. Barry is the best RB ever but playing in the Cowboys system wouldn't have benefited him like people think. Unless we are just talking about team success that's a given. He was way better in a spread system working in space. He also had way better offensive lines in Detroit on the average then people think he had.

Man I'm from Detroit I loved watching Barry play so much, I even wished he played with Dallas than maybe Barry could have won a ring. Lions suck but we are ride or die here in Detroit so Detroit Lions 2021 let's go.....

@@jasonlett6002 man ABSOLUTELY, to this day he's still the only one I consider SUPER. that's above what they call elite these days. Same with Terell Davis here in Denver, but he was elite as well.

@@marshmangunnar9150 So many amazing athletes' careers have been cut short by injury. Bo was probably the most obvious one. That guy had insane strength and speed combined. Barry didn't have his breakaway speed, but he had the greatest reactions and elusiveness of any back I've ever seen.

On and off the field combined? OK, I'll give you that. He's the goat.

Every number for every team I played for I wore 20 to this day I still put 20 on anything I have to assign a number to my damn pin is 2020 🤷🏾‍♂️

I was a huge red wings fan... Stevie Wonder, Fedorov, Makarov... 90s was Motown

I'm a loyal Gator and Dallas fan from way back in the day. Emmitt used to work part-time at a local deli here and I would see him around town and even at a few parties. It has been great following his amazing career... I'd still pick Barry. He's the most dynamic highlight runner in NFL history. Sir Walter is his equal, both at the top- and Walter could throw touchdowns. Pretty much the same order as yours. I always liked Earl Campbell's smash mouth style, too, as he crushed defenders up the middle. Fearsome dude, and quick, too.

I wo put jim brown ahead of emmit

I agree, and while I would not rate Emmitt above Barry, I do think that Emmitt Smith is being underrated now because of that famous offensive line of Nate newton, Larry Allen, and those guys that were so good that people forget how good Emmitt was too. Shaking defenders in space makes for great highlight videos, but knowing how to set up your blocks and being able to get in rythm with your lineman are two huge parts of being a quality RB and Emmitt was as good as anyone at those two aspects of the position, and he had some wiggle to him also. Frank Gore is another one that comes to mind who really had a knack for setting up his runs

Watching Barry Sanders play was like seeing a real life version of player from the Madden games with a 99 rating in speed, agility, break tackles, and overall ability.

Mannnn Barry Sanders was MORE than amazing when he played I’m glad I was born in the era to witness that man do greatness

Same

He WAS on a decent team but ownership sucked. William Clay Ford didn't have the sack to fire Fontes until it was too late.

Thats a great thing to say . Especially coming from an Emmit fan..lol I agree with you .

I remember that. Lol

Mr Perfect WWE? was this that old WWE commercial where Perfect throws a football and runs and catches it?? lollll

I just searched it, had no idea it was Steve Jordan. Those were the best Mr. Perfect clips. Remember the hockey one where he's in net vs Mike Modano and saving all his slap shots or the pool shot where he knocks in every ball LOL

That is true. The horses that Emmitt was running behind? Whew! He had amazing longevity, though. I think Jimmy Johnson told Jerry... "Well, we can run this offense, but we're going to need a new running back every 3 to 4 years."

Yea let's take a guy who thrives in space and have him run behind a fullback between the tackles all day? He was a far better fit for Detriot in a spread offense. Allowing him to work in space. Also he generally had a way better offensive line then most people think. In 1992 the Lions legitimately had a crap offensive line but they lost 2 starters one death and a career ending injury heading into that season. In 1993 they went out a fixed the issue in free agency. Marshall Faulk on the Colts. Marshall Faulk on the Rams. Same guy drastically different results.

@@supersexysega Interesting fact. They would design a running play for Barry Sanders. And then go... "What about that defensive guy?" Oh, don't worry about him, Barry's got that guy.

You’re not alone. I’m a Packers fan and Sanders is my favorite player of all time. Was a fan of Moss, too. Obviously, not when we played them.

Theres footage of Brett Farve doing the same mid game

Watch the dvd from his book, he admits that he felt he was beginning to lose a step and the daily grind of practice (under Ross) and 10 years of punishment was catching up to him and he never wanted to play even one game with a reduced skill set. He never believed the National narrative that he had a lot of years left. At least not at his top level.

He could juke the jockstrap off the best of them couldn’t he?

Crazy.

Facts 💯

That was in 1980 when Billy Simms was the RB & got to a 4-0 start. They ended up 9-7 & it was Jimmy "Spiderman" Allen that did that song. Stop lying. In 1991 they lost the first game then won the next 5. Then lost 3 of the next 4 then won the next 6. Beat Dallas in playoff game then destroyed by the Redskins next game. Barry had 1548 yards 16 rushing TD's 41 Receptions 307 yards & 1 TD. As a matter of fact he had 48 TD's in his first 3 years & then for some stupid reason they started taking him out inside the 10 yard line. Then the next 3 years only had 19 TD's. 3 years after that 37 Td's & final year only 4 td's. He could leap over everyone from the 5 yard line with his verticle. But dumb coaches held him back inside the 10 yard line. Should have had another 50 TD's at least

Imagine what he would’ve done if he’d have had the O-line Emmitt Smith had. I love Emmitt and he could sure take a beating, but in my opinion Barry was better.
