Chris Johnson says the Titans are king of Rbs

[jnday]

Yeah, Zeke has been overrated. We should have drafted Ramsey.

Why would drafting Ramsey been such a good ideal? He is a malcontent and he wouldn’t have stayed in Dallas for long. Fans are still whining about not drafting Randy Moss and there is little doubt that Moss would not have stayed in a Dallas for his entire career. Dallas would have been lucky to get five seasons out of him before he wanted to leave. These types of players wear their welcomes out and very rarely stay with one team for their entire careers. Ramsey would have never been the difference maker that Zeke has been and I am not really that pleased with Zeke at this time, but Ramsey is not a shut down corner that is a difference maker in games either.

You do realize how close Ezekiel Elliott is to Chris Johnson right now right? You do realize that after 4 years Johnson amassed 5,645 rushing yards to Zeke 5,405 rushing yards; 38 TDs to Zeke 40 TDs; 1,426 rec yards to Zeke 1,619 rec yards and 4 rec TDs to Zeke's 8 rec TDs.

And you do realize it all went down hill for him after year 4 right? I'm fine with taking Zeke off the list, but Johnson doesn't belong either then

Not to mention the massive decline in our OL since Zeke came on board. What a joke.

Around 48:05 Chris Johnson says without pause that Zeke is the best RB in the game. This was shortly before the season started.

Well, not saying he's wrong, but Elvis once said Roy Orbison was the greatest vocalist ever.

I'll openly admit that Barry was the most fun to watch, but Emmitt had the vision, the patience, the intelligence to take as few direct hits as possible, the elusiveness, the hand fighting, straight-arm, and enough speed to get the job done, not to mention the blocking ability. He might always be the greatest ever.

Yeah Barry was loads of fun to watch as fans.. but I imagine it had to drive his coaches nuts. Dude lost over 3000 yards in his career. And while people will quickly defend him by saying it was because his line sucked .. During his "football life" they highlighted a number of plays where he gave ground in search of the big play when there was a perfectly good 3-4 yard gain blocked up for him. Sometime he hit that home run he was looking for.. but sometimes he lost 7 yards and it was 2nd and 17. As a coach that would have had me pulling out what little hair I had left. The other interesting fact about the whole "Well Barry never had any blocking" argument was that he played behind way more first and second round draft picks line men than Emmitt.

Lomas Brown - first rounder 6th overall pick 1984
Kevin Glover - second round 34th overall 1984
Jeff Hartings - first round 23rd overall 1991
Juan Roque - second round 35th overall 1997
Aaron Gibson - first round 27th overall 1999

Meanwhile the two highest draftees Emmitt played with were Allen at 46th overall and Flozell Adams 38th overall.

Go figure.

Eddie George was not a “plodder back”, whatever the hell that means. He was a bruiser that rarely got stopped for a loss and always fell forward. What you saw with his YPC was for all intents and purposes what he minimally got every play he was called. In his prime he was an absolute beast. His running style didn’t give him a very long prime though.

it way under Zekes year to year not even close to a YPC zekes got ,go look ,

Zekes being dubbed as volume power back and anyone with the amount of carries he gets could do that..go actually see nearly every season EG played was UNDER or near 4.0 a carry that very below avg, zekes down years right now the last 2 are getting around 4.1 so really tell me how EG is better then zeke in any way..hes never touched most of zekes stats..

so better go check the stat sheet you xall it pwer folks here call it volume back and zekes beign accused of that when other backs in your memory were slower and got less per carry..

funny how that work rip your own layers defends others yet your wn back is Clearly Better..CLEARLY

even this insane comp and ntion Henrys better then zeke when zekes got MORE carries ie nearly 400 more in the same exact time frame and YET,

Henrys YPC is 4.8 and Zekes 4.6 how can that be with an entire years more carried to keep and average like that and Henry got far more big runs and barely better then zeke over the same time frame Zeke is far better receiver has one more rushing Td in the same time frame..add in hes also a better blocker etc obviously holding up with all this use..

got it.merely shedding light on how zekes far better then his own fans will admit. Sad that really bad look on a handful of you..

 

[blueblood70]

Do you think fumbling Zeke contradicts Chis Johnson? Never include that overpaid Ewok with the list of great RBs we once had.

CJ is flat wrong about the titans being king of the NFL in RBs and Ewok is far better then Eddie George, period ...f the fumbling nice that all you got..we are talking high level production and two facts

Earl Cambell belongs to Texas not Tennessee , you cant us e him, period and EG was not nearly as good as Zeke,stats prove that out big time..

so They get to claim Henry and CJ with EG bringing up the final player..

as discussed rams, Cowboys and other teams have had a better run of backs..

so yes Tony , Emmitt, walker, and zeke are some of the best RB the NFL has ever seen..

Ummm...

I never said George was better than Zeke. Stop frothing at the mouth. I took issue with your demeaning of Eddie George as a “plodder” (again what the hell does this even mean? He was certainly capable breaking a “big one”) with no mention of Zeke whatsoever. George was a beast in his prime and once again, his YPC average does not tell the whole story.

Eddie George rarely got stopped for a loss.

Eddie George rarely got hit and didn’t fall forward.

He was a monstrously strong human being. When he carried the ball he got 3.7 yards on average but this needs to be seen in the context that he was rarely stopped behind the line of scrimmage and almost always fell forward. The Titans offense was an efficient ball control offense because of this. 3.7 YPC x 3 is a first down.

I never said he was better than Zeke. I never mentioned Zeke. In fact, I’m rather doubtful you even watched George play in his prime.

cj making the claim and others have been ragging zeke since his contract was signed..but this is debate CJ2K claims that there 3 is better then anyone elses in history, i say hes wrong..

im 50watched all those games and his OSU days,,seriously i didnt watch him play ?he ran very upright, powerful but not fast , took a lot of nbig hits, and like i said wasn't even close to zeke in production until now the zeke you see now is EG best years.. he played here washed up but dont need to see him play go look at Total yards and YPC etc it tells the story..

this was about Chris claims im refuting them

like i said he claimed Earl and obvious he doesnt understand that earl never played for the Titans he was a longhorn and Oiler you cant make claims on that history as he never wore a Titans jersey..

so that leaves

Emmitt smith beats their list

TDorset, if CJ this hes better then Dorsett he might want to recheck his ego

Zeke and Henry very close

Walker -breaks any ties

I think maybe by "plodder" he meant a power back. Someone who was always gonna get through the LoS. Although he did often break a long run, I think power was more his forte.

Oh wow, Walker. Can't believe this is the first mention of him that I've seen.

 

[stilltheguru]

Take Zeke off that list. He had one great year. He doesn’t amount to the other RB’s that came before him.

If Zeke doesnt belong neither does Henry

 

[pancakeman]

They're probably not at the top but Sayers and Sweetness (and Nagurski?) make the Bears worthy of inclusion in the conversation.

 

[ItzKelz]

Julius, Marion and Felix!!!!

itys in my original post but Hershel deserves a mention not only was he great dudes trade bought us 3 SBS lol

 

[CarolinaFathead]

How does Earl Campbell not count for the Titans?

The Titans and the Oilers are the same franchise.

Campbell is listed in the Titan’s record books. Of course he counts as a former player.

Go figure.

This, some act like BS was running behide a high school OL, granted there line was not the boys but then again who's was but that line is darn good he had.

 

[CarolinaFathead]

I’d give the number one spot to Dallas because we’ve had some prime time backs pass through this franchise. In fact, for anyone whose watched football for several decades, our identity is really tied up in being a smash mouth offensive football team. Granted Jerry has done his best to make himself the identity of this franchise so the previous statement might sound absurd to newer fans but it’s the truth.

However, Campbell absolutely counts as a Titan and Tennesse does have an impressive list of backs.

Dallas is number one imo though as I mentioned earlier, only two franchise have three running backs in the HOF, the Browns and Rams.
