    Sorry, got to open this can of worms up as I was surfing YouTube and found this gem of a play involving a tremendous FB block and a power running game! Almost got me to tears!

    Great lead block.Fb took out two players but Bettis carried three in the endzone.Just a special player.I for one don't if it's a fb or te as long as they can block.That's the key.

    I see what Haley is trying to do with Johnson. He want's him to concentrate on blocking more effectively, so he tells him "Your a fullback.". You are absolutely nuts if you think he's not going to open up some wrinkles in the game when everyone gets used to it. Haley watches the film, he sees the hesitation at times, the indecisiveness. I think he's setting the base mindset (we are going to run when we want to run) and working from there. He already knows we can sandlot ball it and air it out if need be. This team needs to be able to shut the door and take the air out of it when they get up. Too many times they're about to go ahead and drive a dagger when there's a big mistake and they let a team back in it. 2nd Balt game's a win if they force them to use their timeouts.

    In my opinion, one of the best FB/RB combos the Steelers have ever had - Kreider/Bettis. Miss them.

    I didnt even go to the link at first and i KNEW it was Urlacher getting ran over. Even though that isnt the specific one I'm thinking about thats been shown many many times over the years...but still...i had a cut feeling.

    That play was branded on my memory the moment it happened. The season felt different after that...

    I'm trying to find the one where he dragged a few CB's down the field with him on a long run. I just can't remember the game though. I know he did it more than once, but the one I'm thinking about was at least a 40 yarder.
