San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 To me its a tie betw Marcus Allen and Larry Czonka. Â Allen was an artist down there. He alway picked the right hole and approach (high leap, submarine, bounce outside, cut inside). Â Csonka was the premier power only back in my lifetime. I never saw Bronko Nagurski play (thank god I'm not that old) but I imagine Csonka must have been similar in his ability to carry tacklers while simultaneously running other tacklers over. Â For those that remember Mike Alstott, Alstott couldn't hold a candle to Csonka. Â I would add that my recollection is that John Riggins was a great goal line back.

mrags Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Depends on the offense ya. If we're talking about Chans offense. It's more likely going to be Fitz in shotgun. Empty backfield. 5 WR set. All WRs either run deeeeep, or short of the first down marker. Â But the OP simply asked a question. Your running the ball on 4th and short, who do you want in there? It's not that hard man.

Â Knew youd remember that...Allens 6th sense near the goal line was unmatched IMO. Czonka--he NEVER got stood up-musta been his low center of gravity mixed w power/athletic ability.You had to hit him high and low to stop him--cut his legs out from him. Riggins...interesting---just dont remember him round the goal line--just the freakish combo of size and speed he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Jim. Brown. Walter Payton over the top My two first obvious names that popped in my head. Other than that, the one name that popped in my head was Bettis mainly because of this play. Â And the person that made this video was obviously a computer wiz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa1TSaKmG2o Edited December 16, 2012 by The Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l< j Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 At the 2, it's M Allen. Anywhere else on the field, it's Earl Campbell. Cuz he would run through every body on the field, some twice. The carnage would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I think Allen is the right answer from the two. From the one it's Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored 4 of those against my Michigan Wolverines in the 1973 Rose Bowl.  As a pro he scored a bunch of those too.  It's amazing how high some of these guys can jump with full equipment and two hands on the ball.
