I have honestly never seen a more magical runner than Barry Sanders. I would watch the Lions at times simply to see him go and man did always seem to break that one amazing play each game. But the Dallas Cowboys would not have been able to do what they did with Barry Sanders. Barry was not always willing to accept two yard gains and it sometimes resulted in five yard losses. Emmitt knew that two yards in the second quarter would turn into five or seven yards in the fourth and that is why Dallas was so good. He was superior to Barry at running between the tackles and far, far superior as a blocker to keep Aikman upright. Teams would key on Barry on the fourth and could shut the Lions down, but they could not do a thing about Emmitt because they were worn out.
