WEBVTT - NFL Running Backs Tell Their Stories & Explain the Run Game 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:01.680 Welcome to Games of Names. 0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:04.760 I'm Julli Gentleman, and we got a brand new compilation 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:07.320 highlight Reels starting now. 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:11.760 Now. Corey Dillon on his inspirations at running back. 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:17.759 I watched a lot of Jim Brown, Jim Brown Ice film. 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:21.279 Man, and that's who I wanted to be, like, you know, 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.479 I watched a lot. It looked like, you know what, 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.800 he get hit, he get up slow, you know, stumble 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.000 back to the huddle and come back and run you 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.479 over again. And it was just repeated. And I was 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:39.239 just watching him all that film I was watching. He 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:45.159 was big, strong, fast, and I'm like, hm, I'm going 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.680 to try to pat my game after that. And then 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.440 on top of that, you know, I grew up watching football, 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.320 so it was like the Tony dor sets try to 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.440 steal a little bit from him, the Eric Dickerson's they 0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:01.240 try to, Yeah, big guys, fast, take a little from him. 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:08.160 Earl Campbell's, Walter Payton's Berry saying as I never could 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.240 be like that. That dude is phenomenal. But yeah, I 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.480 just used to watch the running back position and watch 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.760 all these great running backs and then be like, hmm, 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:19.520 I like that. I'm gonna take a little bit from there, 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.920 take a little bit from there, and then you know 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.959 what kind of form my own style, which my thing was, 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.959 I call it my little bag. Like you know, I 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.720 may start off the first two quarters running you over, 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.040 setting you up. Next two quarters, I might try to 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.400 dance around you and mix it up so or vice versa. 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.560 You know, just depends on what kind of what they're 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.800 giving me. Kind of worked out, it worked out pretty good. 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:50.000 But you also you were always like really good, like 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.880 the duo play, you know, duo or you have the 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.320 two double teams and the running back really has to 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:56.000 set that up. 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.200 It's all vision, man, you know what I mean. 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.800 And you can't be too early lead to the cut 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.880 or the fucking the guy scrapes over. 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:05.480 Yeah, can you explain that? 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:10.000 I was real Well, we had this Jim Anderson running 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.440 back coach for Cincinnati. This is what he preached to me. 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:21.960 Constantly slow, too fast through meaning footwork and pressed the line, 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.200 but at a pace where you could see the cuts. 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.160 And that's that's all I really did. I never went 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.160 full speed grabbing that ball. I was always on my 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.160 footwork and a little patient enough where I pressed that 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.840 line where I could see multiple cuts. And just by 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.720 doing that alone, things that opened up, Like I could 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.720 see the backside, see the defense over pursuing, and then 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.160 you know what, as soon as I see that opening, 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:51.839 that's when I explode through. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.000 Next up, Lorenzo Neil on the importance of running the 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.000 ball in the NFL. 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:57.960 Why was the nineties the best football? 0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:58.120 Though? 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.720 I think nineties people were vibing to try to I'll 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.760 do the eighties because you knew in the eighties is 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.600 just hard and the game was starting to change in 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:11.720 nineties certain things, more people wearing knee braces or so. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.519 Nineties was just still the big safety. The guys that 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.560 would still want to hit you. You know, Ronnie Lott was 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.280 leaving and here comes Darius and here comes the John Lynch. 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.600 You know, Doc be Doc, And it. 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.720 Was like, okay, they looked up to those guys, and 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.480 so you went through those transitions and then it's now 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:35.680 it's like, okay, Troy's gone, Paulamo. So it's like what 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.000 safety just brings fear like it used to be. You 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:40.880 have a couple not even gonna say the guys still 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.560 don't hit, They're still they're still going after but the 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:45.760 game is it. 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.320 Is different it's very different. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.960 But I think my personal opinion is when you like 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.120 safety is now, you have to cover tight ends, right, 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.480 you got to be able to play, you gotta, you 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.040 know what I mean, just because these these tight ends 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:06.160 now are receivers a B. Safeties get money taken out 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.040 of their pocket with big hits now, right, And ain't 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.040 nobody get paid for how many knockout hits? 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:11.360 You get? 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.960 What do they get paid for? Interceptions? 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.400 And these little kids have been farming that since these 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.719 little seven on sevens that you get paid if you 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:24.560 touch the ball TfL or I mean pbu's and picks, 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.360 So they don't even go for the hit no more 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.760 because you want to get the money. Like that's kind 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.840 of like we're I that's kind of how because these 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:35.599 guys are huge, fast, strong. It's a little smaller because 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.480 they're faster as far as like linebackers. There's two hundred 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.840 and thirty five pounds linebackers now. When I first got 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.120 in the league, Ray Lewis was two sixty, right. 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.400 You know what I mean. But he could move, you 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:45.880 know what I mean? 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.200 But like it's the game has just changed, it has, 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.920 you know what I mean, And people want those stats 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:53.800 because stats turn into dough. 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.640 And when you look at the tight end position now Titans, 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.000 most of the Titans, you want them, they're too They're 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.840 too fast for line and too strong for safety because 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.880 you you changed the game. You had safeties that used 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.880 to be able to cover. But now these safeties are 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:09.920 guys are too strong. This pound them, beat them up, 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.120 so you got to double them. So there's certain things 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.440 elements of the game that you have to compensate for 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.919 because you have went with you know, more of the hybrids, 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.760 because it's more sidelined the sideline because teams aren't patient 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:24.760 enough to say, I'm a lineup and I'm gonna go 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.840 right at you. And that's why when you look at 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.880 November and December, teams that usually win usually can run 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:30.200 the ball. 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.640 Even the Patriots. When you got and we had James 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.120 Devlin and he said, hello. 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.280 Oh y'all, tell ja what up? And that's what made 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.440 you got. Everyone thought, oh the Patriots got break. No, 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.040 they knew that if you did, if you put eight 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.400 nine in box, guess what you were going to hurt people. 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.080 Walker was gonna hurt people when y'all had mosque and hurt. 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.520 So it's like dare you so, you so and that, 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.920 But when you run the ball. Corey Dill another guy 0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:00.320 blocked for in Cincinnati, tough get Downhill can run physical love. 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.720 So you guys, everyone talks, No, this was not a 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.880 finesse team. It was still physical and that when you 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.279 can be two dimensional, you're hard out. 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:10.200 It's tough out. 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.520 And I mean you look at the last five six 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.560 Super Bowl winners. I mean Philadelphia Eagles, they ran the 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.640 shit out of the ball. They tried throwing it the 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.880 first four weeks. It wasn't until the bye week that 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.599 they said, hey, let's run the ball. We have the 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.479 best running back in the league, we got a best 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.720 line in the league, and then we'll set up our 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.120 pass game through play action. You know, you look at 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.480 you know the Rams when they won. They had Gurley, 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.240 he was a stud and they had off the run game, 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.719 right you know, everyone, we all fascinate to make this 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.760 such a spread them and shred them game. But still 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.160 fundamentally speaking, like the teams that run the ball, like 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.920 you said late in the year, are the teams that go. 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:49.640 On to win the Super Bowl. That was because you 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.360 can control the game, control the game. Not the Niners 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:53.000 were doing that. 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.320 You know, a couple of years ago, when they had 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.839 everything in place, they were still one of those teams 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:02.200 hell against against the team that we're gonna watch new 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:03.240 the Vikings. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:03.480 Bather. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.880 Remember they ran. They threw the ball eight times NFC Championship. 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.159 I mean you only through the ball eight times, Jimmy 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.200 g you know, eight passes. The rest was just run. 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.160 When you can run the ball and just make teams 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.760 quick because it checks your heart, you just got to 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.720 be like man as a guy's four yards three yards 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.040 and boom, first down, it just kills the momenttal yes, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:25.880 the moralize the defense and even. 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.560 When you're the guy and the like, when you're on 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.240 offense and a team is running the ball on you, it. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.240 Takes you out of your rhythm. Yep. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.640 It's like when you're sitting there on the sideline, you're 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.240 going over your place for the next goddamn dry We 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.760 got the third down, you get ready to the offense first. Yeah, 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:45.960 they just got three yards. Oh we're up six yards? Right, 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.440 how the fuck can we get out there? That part 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.360 and that's what and that's you know it is. I mean, 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.960 when you when you have a big explosion play touchdown, 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.000 it's so damn quick. Sometimes you're like, man, we were 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.000 just on offense. We got our fuel, let's go right. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.520 But it's funny, it's the game has definitely changed. 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:03.080 You're right. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.000 What is the one thing that you what's like the 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.360 one bit of advice that you give for the fullback, 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.120 like if you're going to be the team, because that's 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.480 a that's a badge of honor. Because if you're on 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.400 the team and you're a fullback, like you ain't have 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.960 no backup. You don't have a backup. You gotta know 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.040 a lot of shit. It's like a mentality thing. My fullback, 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.960 James Devlin, like the fullback was always like the first 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.240 guy in the locker room, fucking smelling salt, swallly squat 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:37.160 and like drinking cement for fucking breakfast, Like that's what. 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.120 But that was his job, right he had to show that, 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.360 like I'm part of the toughness team, and I am 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.280 the toughness team. What's your advice for the fullback? The 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.360 young fullback trying to come in and make his his 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:51.240 way on a team. 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:56.080 I think the biggest thing is walk lightly, but carry 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.960 a heavy bat. I didn't to be anyone's friends I said, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.680 we just work together. I'm not your friend. We just 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.280 work together. We got to you know, you can buy 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.240 yourself some friends. You have to be mean, you have 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.360 to be physical. You it fullback to My vice is 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.760 like it's yeah, it's some technique to it, but it's like, guys, 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:20.600 do not want to hit and head on when you 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.360 see me coming and you see me, you have to 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.520 make a decision. My advice to fullbacks if you want 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.880 to make this game come back and fullbacks become an 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:33.560 integral part of this game again, you have to be fearless. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.760 You have to run in there, whether it hurts or not, 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.400 and say I'm going to win this battle. I'm talking 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.600 about cutting the leg when you block, block up and through. 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.480 If you're going head to head, when you hit, you dip, 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.880 you lift, and you create a new line stre When 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.439 you stell mate as a fullback, and you stell mat 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.360 and the linebacker step you in a hole, you make 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.240 the tailback now stop his feet. You have to say 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:57.959 I'm gonna hit you, I'm gonna stay lord, and I'm 0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.679 gonna push you out of the way. If you can 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.920 push and get create a new line of scrimmage. Now 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.960 you give the tail back a two way cut. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:05.840 That's what I knew. 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.640 When I played full back, I could see the safety 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.040 coming down, and I knew if the safety came down, 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.520 he was playing force, trying to knock the linebacker and 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.880 make it spill inside. I said, if you know that, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.760 if I could get to his inside shoulder, throw my 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:24.000 head across. Now you have ladanian safety and linebackers playing 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.680 air because you created that space. So it's about knowing 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.680 your job, attention to details, and play the game physical. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:32.680 That's what right, you know what. 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.160 I couldn't agree one thousand percent more. I'm not a fullback, 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:37.760 but I just always hung around fullbacks. 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:40.839 And I remember when you. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:45.400 Know, James ended up fucking like having a neck problem, 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.800 because that's what you have if you're a and I 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.520 would explain to the new fullback, okay, that's this is 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:55.160 going to happen. This is what you have. This has 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.480 to happen for you to be a proper fullback. You 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.360 have to have neck problems. You have to go in 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:06.520 and literally look like you're you don't care about your body. 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.640 You don't like that, and that's what it because you know, 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.960 then we'd have some other new fullbacks come in they 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.000 try to go with the chess fird, you know what 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:15.640 I mean, I'm like, dude. 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.160 Now Reggie Bush talks his iconic highlight runs. 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.720 I think one of those runs was running NonStop for 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.720 like two weeks on top ten plays, and so everybody 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.960 you know remembered that play, but specifically about you know me. 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.120 People thought I put the ball behind my back and 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.680 it wasn't a predetermined move. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:37.840 It was just I actually had the ball in the 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:38.480 wrong hand. 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:43.160 So as you know, when you're running down the sideline outside, 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:44.760 you got to have that ball on the outside hand 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.920 and so you can stick f him exactly. And I 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.600 did not have the ball on the outside hand. I 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.960 had it on the inside. And I really when the 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.240 ball is in my right hand and I got open field. 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.000 That's that's where I'm comforting. That's why I'm really like 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.480 getting I'm taking. So you're you're a right hand guy, 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:00.959 right hand you know what's crazy. 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.360 I was always I'm a right handed guy, but I 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.520 was always a left ki because when I was a 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.760 kid in Pop Warner, I was the four back and 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:08.920 I'd always go to the left. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:10.160 So it trained me. 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.439 I always use because I'd always use it to the 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.680 outside of the hand because they're always getting in the head. 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.320 So I was like an orthodox, but give me a no, 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:18.800 you're good. 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.920 And so what happened to me my senior year in 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:26.040 high school. I broke my wrist. And I actually was 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.240 catching a swing a swing route, and when I went 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.560 to stiff arm the guy, he was already up on me. 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.719 He was coming full speed and knocked my hand backwards 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.319 and I broke this bone right here, the navicular scaffold, 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.360 which is one of the bones that has like lowest 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.400 blood supply. So but obviously I was young enough doctor 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.400 put a cast on it. I played my entire football 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.200 my senior year with a cast on my left wrist, 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.640 I think remember, And so I heard that I wasn't 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.760 necessarily comfortable yet back with carrying that ball on my 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.199 left hand. So there are a lot of games you 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.600 might see when I'm in college when I'm carrying the 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.240 ball wrong again going down left side. But I got 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.959 in the right hand because I just hadn't got gained 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.960 that comfort level back with squeezing it and holding it tight, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.600 especially when you're fighting through traffic. And so again on 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:13.040 this specific play though, when I'm running down the sideline. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:14.920 I'm literally trying to outrun the safety. 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.400 And what happened earlier in the game, I had a 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:25.840 touchdown where I actually outran him, same exact spot, almost identical. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.200 And so this second time, now I'm coming around and 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:30.720 I peek out a corner of my eye and I 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.280 see his head down and he's just. 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.800 Like last time, I gotta go higher. 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:39.560 I gotta go higher, exactly, And so he learned his lesson, right, 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.520 So now he's going at a higher angle. 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:42.800 He got his head down, he's digging. 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:48.160 And so now I after peaking and I see that, 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:49.680 I know I got to put my foot in the 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.560 ground because I'm not gonna outrun him, and so I stopped. 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.080 And he was close enough to me where if he 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.560 actually reached his hand out, he probably could have hit 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:02.200 the ball. And so so naturally, when somebody's that close 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.760 to you, it's either you squeeze it or if you're. 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.440 Trying to get busy, you just do something crazy. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.600 Right, That's what came out, you know, And that's and 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.880 I think, you know, when we played the game, a 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.839 lot of things and a lot of part of most 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.680 of the game is really built on instincts. 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.160 You know what I'm saying and instincts and. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.680 Vision, and so for me in that moment, it was 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.040 all about instincts and vision, and I just my hand 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.040 went back, I put my foot in the ground. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:28.760 I knew I was gonna stop in reverse. I just 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.160 didn't know I was gonna put my hand. 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:31.800 On the side behind my back like that with the 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.200 ball and cut behind him. But and then outrun everyone 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:35.760 and then out. 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.240 Everybody next up. 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.080 Brandon Bolden on the tight knit running back room. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.600 What was the legacy of the running backs room? 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:46.000 I was the one. 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.320 I was the one constant was I've been through everybody. 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:55.200 I was there with Woody, Shane, rid lg Dion Guilessly, 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.240 James White, Sony Michelle. 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:02.240 We had like, uh uh even Jackson. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:06.240 You mentioned Stephen Jackson, Tyler Gaffney. We I and I've 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.119 seen everybody, remindre Stevens and Damon Harris. 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:12.080 I was there with everybody. 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.760 Sexy Rexy, Uh I. 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.480 See Damon on CBS. Yeah, Dames, Dames, Dames doing it. 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.040 Dame's got his kid now too, so it's just like 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:28.800 he's hilarious. But the running back room we always since 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:30.800 I first got there, and Woody was kind of the 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.680 one who started it. Bro, you don't have to do 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.880 none of this ship by yourself. Like, I'll never forget 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.440 that conversation me and him had. I was like, what 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.640 you mean. He was like, if you don't remember the 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.640 fucking plays, bro, look to the sideline, we're helping you. 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:47.880 And it was like preseason. I think that was the 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:51.040 last preseason game they had bought Jeff in because it 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.640 was just me. It was me and Jeff, and that's 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.560 when we started doing like the two backs and they 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.320 called one play and I just knew I had the wheel. 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.520 But then I look at Jeff and Jeff was like, no, 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.200 I got the wheel. I was like, the fuck it? 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:08.880 We both about to. 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:09.480 Run the wheel. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.560 As I'm starting off on my wheel, I just see Shane. 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.920 No you gotta Oh. 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.240 So I'm running the route on the fucking numbers to 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.600 the field and Tom threw the fucking ball the other way. 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:22.680 I was so fucking happy. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.640 I was like, you know what you had? Did you? No? 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.200 And no, I got no clue. But that was the thing. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.880 And it was like from that point on, we always 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:33.320 we tried to eat together. 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:34.800 We want to hang out together. 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.240 I want to know you, your mom, your girl, you. 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.000 Got kids, bring the kids over, and we kept that 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.200 running back room as tight. Like you remember you you 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:44.720 didn't see one of us without. 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:44.920 The other one. 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.640 Yeah, always together, always now. 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.640 Lashawn McCoy on what makes a great running back? 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.760 The Bills, they still haven't had one thousand yard rusher. 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.440 So my thing is, where is your real impact? If 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.280 it's a good of a player, soon you leave the 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:00.400 backup of the see ain't thing? 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:02.040 Nah? How good are you? Really? 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:03.200 Do you get what I'm saying? 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:04.400 Yeah? 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.800 But what if they let's go, But. 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.679 What if the teams because they had such a dominant back, 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.480 they were like running the ball. They had such the 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.680 offense was built around the running back. 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.200 Great, great question, and. 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.320 Then all of a sudden they could just couldn't win 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.240 the Super Bowl. They couldn't get to the super Bowl. 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.800 So they're like, fuck it, we're gonna we're getting rid 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.840 of running back. We already had that insane running back. 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.000 We want to we gotta we gotta evolve to what 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.840 everyone else is that Maybe that someone could say that. 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.400 Sort of coats So I told you that. I don't 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.000 know if you heard me. They had Peyton Manning. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.600 Yeah, So when we go into the game, who who. 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.399 Do you think we trying to stop? You can be 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.120 about to pack the line of scrimmage up to stop esmen, James. 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.520 Are we gonna stop pay Maine in that passing game? 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:51.200 Yeah? 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:52.720 Make him one dimensional? 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:53.400 He stopped the run? 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:57.400 Noways okay, all right, Well if you think that that's cool, 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.840 I just got It's everything comes off the run, whether 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.520 you have one or not, I mean depends on I mean, 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.080 I hear that. But then like there's some things that 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.040 we throw the ball. We just we're throwing the ball. 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:11.119 I personally haven't had a lot of open boxes running 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:11.400 the ball. 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:12.200 No, you didn't. 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.280 But what I'm saying is if I had a Pagan, 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.359 I'm damn sure you know what I'm saying. Yeah, but 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.720 no one put No one put Eggar and James in 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.080 all time. Great, he's Hall of Famer. You saw the 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.760 Hall of Fame backs, right these you want it as 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:27.679 you asked for, So were going into some of these, 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:28.399 these these Hall of Fame. 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.000 Running and James the Hall of Fame. 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.040 He had a lot of yards though, didn't he He 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.360 had a lot of carries too. See that's impressive though 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.600 a lot of probably was healthy too. That's the thing 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:37.480 about running backs. 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.400 He had a lot of three hundred yard three hundred carriers. 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.720
