3 older guys come to mind -- Franco Harris, Larry Csonka, and John Riggins.
There is a viable theory in choosing this kind of back, and that is they can't be tackled by a DB without inflicting some pain, are not likely to go down without churning for an extra 3-5 yards, and are stout enough to survive the pounding and be relatively less injury prone.
Could be a bellcow......or maybe just a cow.
So you picked 3 of the best power backs ever on SB teams to prove your point? How about the other 500 backs where it didn't work out?
I have watched Henry play and I am not convinced that he is going to be anything like those guys. You need moves, vision, speed in the NFL. All this guy has is size. That wont do him much good in the NFL without the other qualities. Although, like I said, behind the Dallas Oline, even McChicken can look good.
