      I don't think this video did much justice to the impact Sanders had in that Chiefs game the year Indy won the Super Bowl. KC was the best rushing offense in the league that season and that was Bob's first game back off an injury and kept them to less than 50 total rushing yards that game. While he didn't necessarily have the best game himself there was a very visible difference for the whole Colts defensive side of the ball.

      I've heard great hitters like Ronnie Lott and Jack tatum say they try and literally hit through the target like you are trying to go through a wall. Look at highlights of Rohan Marley at Miami the one who dated Lauryn Hill. He was like a college version of Bob Sanders. Bob Sanders, John Lynch , Brain Dawkins, Jack Tatum. Ronnie Lott, Steve Atwater etc... would all knock the snot out of you.

      @tylerdurdeniii4476 4 года назад +1

      Its because of the way he played and hit at that insane speed that caused the injuries. He only played at that one speed . Which is why he is a legend to me. He was clearly a great player and he was gonna be far better then someone like Dawkins. If Dawkins could have played at that speed and hit the way he did at that power hed of had a short career too. Most guys couldn't hit like him if they tried he was a defensive running back. But even if they could have done what Sanders did and played that physical they wouldn't have they'd of played it safe for longer careers but he was unique and that's how he played up until the end. I respect that. And he was a fs in the beginning of his career with colts and later became a ss.and he played the run like a fs but was a ball hawk too watch his highlights around the years they played Chicago in super bowl.
