Rare to see running backs returning kickoffs.

Hmmmm?

Gale Sayers
Ollie Matson
Bobby Mitchell

That gang scored around 20 times on KO/Punt returns, Hall of Famers

Deserve mention

Terry Metcalf
Eric Metcalf
Travis Williams
Herschel Walker

While in high school Marcus Dupree was running so many KO's back to score, the offense complained to the HC, they wanted the ball so get Dupree out of there, ha!!!!

Wow, this took me back.

 

[stiletto]

Yes, its the backups.

Not all....The offense is a trainwreck without Cooper. Without Lamb it is even a worse nightmare. Glad they'll be back and with Pollard taking a majority of the snaps I expect a big rebound.

And whoever hasn’t had a chance to watch the 30 for 30 episode on Marcus Dupree titled: “The Best that Never Was” …please check it out. That kid had it all. His freshman year clips at OU are ridiculous.

What a talent.

What a shame.

Cooper is great, but he isnt the reason. Cooper AND Lamb is the problem without Tyron Smith.

Without Smith the line falls apart.

Oline is #1, then they need 2 of the 3 with Cooper, Gallup, Lamb.

Rare to see running backs returning kickoffs.

Even more rare for Linebackers to return them...

 

[PAPPYDOG]

I don't know about you guys but that play was just awesome and something that I will remember for a while. Dude looked amazing. Fast and strong.

Awesome and kept the game from being a blow-out.....

Highly recommend this book

Story goes Henderson ran a 9.5 100 yard dash while at Langston College, if that is true, he would be the fastest LB ever.

He was the original LT.

 

[RaZon]

He was the original LT.

I have no doubts Hollywood was faster than LT but the comparison ends there.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

I have no doubts Hollywood was faster than LT but the comparison ends there.

Only because Thomas couldn't handle the nose candy like LT could.

That Sayers is my favorite non Cowboys player.

LOL, Frit.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Just had one thread about someone being better than someone else, I know there won't be one saying Hollywood was better than LT.

 

[MiddleStar]

Best part of the KO return was watching the ref bite it when he tripped on the first down pylon.

 

[RaZon]

A RB with speed. Imagine that?

Very rare for a RB to be the fastest player on a team.

 

[JoeKing]

I guess I need to take more bathroom breaks during the game because that's the exact moment Pollard decided to run that kickoff back. Now I'm thinking of putting a TV in the latrine.

 

[Streifenkarl]

Haha. The one thing I don't like about football is the many little intermissions with so many commercials.

But the one good thing about that is, that there are enough breaks to "do your business" without missing any of the in game action. Must have been alot of Turkey...

I thought he would get up and throw the flag on the pylon for tripping.
