Whenever he got caught most times he was already tired. He was very fast and got caught from guys who had an angle most times..
I agree he was very fast and had ridiculous acceleration. Most of the time when he is caught from behind is because he made a bunch of jukes behind the line or at the line and when he re accelerates to top speed, like you said, the defenders have the angle to keep him out of the end zone. If he just hits a hole and accelerates to top speed right away he is almost never caught from behind.
In the 3rd and 4th quarter after hes run 32 times for 155yds...who wouldnt b tired lol
saying Barry Sanders is slow is RIDICULOUS!!! He is trying to get around players in front of him and changing his direction often while players behind him either have the angle on him or are running straight at him from behind. He rarely got caught when it was straight running in the open field. This reactor seems to not see that for some reason. Barry was slow? RIDICULOUS.
@@hshaughnessy17Well said 💯
He got caught from behind less than 5 times in his career and I live in Detroit and saw every single run. Feel free to post a video of all these times he got from behind , it will be about 30 secs and 4 plays long.
There are a number of comments about Barry's speed. He was not one of the all-time fastest running backs-although his 40 time was well above average. But what people don't seem to appreciate is his "burst speed" or start-stop-start speed. That's what was so amazing. Barry could come to nearly a complete stop, change directions and resume at close to full speed faster than any other running back before or since him. Also his ability to calculate/sense the speeds of defenders approaching him from multiple angles; then use their own momentum against them left many defenders unsure of what to do.
You know Barry is not human when video games can't even replicate what he does. His ACCURATE Madden ratings:
93 - Speed
250 - Acceleration
499 - Agility
120 - Awareness
99 - Break tackle
*source: I watched his whole career and saw him live
Facts Madden said the reason he did not put him in the game for years was he a cheat code in real life he would brake the game.First game Barry was in was 95.
I'd say that awareness is a bit low, he not only knows where every defensive player is but knows what they're doing as well.
higher acceleration than that it should be when it comes to stop 'n start 'n change direction.
Ball Carrier Vision-5000
Also, love how he never celebrated much - just handed the rock back to the Ref & kept going 😎
Actually, he had stated he was too tired to celebrate.
@@shawnmotley1898 I can imagine. He was the work horse for that offense
You also have to remember that Barry was about the ONLY player that the other teams really worried about. The entire defense was set up to stop Barry. He carried the ball on almost every play and would get tired by the end of the game. Although his top speed was not the fastest to ever play that position, he could get to that top speed (exceleration) faster than anyone else - while changing directions. But, his 40 yard combine speed was 4.37 sec. That is tremendously fast just not the fastest every recorded.
To quote Sam Monson " The great Reggie White claimed that Barry Sanders was the only player he ever feared. "“There was one guy since I’ve been playing that I was afraid of because he could beat us at any moment. That was Barry”."... He was so dangerous that teams had to invent new ways of defending against him, just to try and contain him from breaking that big run that would kill them. "
Look how many times a defender is there immediately when Barry gets the handoff. The remarkable thing about Barry is how good he was with minimal help from a D+ or C- offensive line unit. Thats what separates Barry from the rest.
I truly believe if Barry had an offensive line, like Emmitt Smith had in Dallas (3-4 hall of fame lineman on the same line), he would have put up video game type numbers.
On that type of team, he could have put up multiple 2,500+ yard seasons. Thats my opinion anyway.
My sundays were always like a christmas day morning waiting until 1pm with anticipation of watching him run.
Some of his most impressive runs were 2 or 3 yard gains after a play that should have been a four yard loss. That is why HE WILL ALWAYS BE CONSIDERED THE GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME in my eyes.
BARRY......BARRY.....BARRY!!!!
Barry Sanders was from my era....elusive, mad jukes and amazing balance
You have to understand anyone can get caught. There are a lot of fast players in the NFL playing defense. Sanders was playing behind a weak offensive line so a lot of the times the defense was already in the backfield before he had the ball.
I had the honor & privilege of watching Barry play his entire career in Detroit . Watch it again & watch his stride , for such a small person . He had a long smooth stride & I remember watching him play in college at Oklahoma State & his senior year . Their were 3 or 4 games they didn't put him in until the 4th quarter & he still ran for over 300 yards . If the Lions would've gotten better offensive lineman , they could've gone to at least 3 maybe 4 Superbowls with Barry Sanders . And every team in the NFL was glad when he retired so they didn't have to face him anymore , especially the Vikings , Packers & Bears .
his college highlights are goddamn outrageous, a man among boys without a doubt
I’ve read that he has two speeds: here he comes and there he goes. I think that’s the actual quote.
I don't know who that rugby player is, but he can't do the things that Barry can do. God broke the mold when he made him. One of a kind.
For my money the best running back in NFL history.
Imagine if they had the horse collar rule back then. They played the Vikings, Bears, Packers and Buccaneers twice each year. He always had big games against the Vikings and Bucs.
Big difference between the greatest running back and the fastest running back. For pure speed and power, Bo Jackson without a doubt. But for cutting and shake and baking it was all Barry Sanders. IMO he put Gayle Sayers and Emmit Smith behind him and they were both great. In addition to his playing prowess, Barry always handled himself with the pride of being an All-Pro and a model for young fans. Can't say enough about his no showboating style of play and his humble acceptance of his athletic gifts. Detroit never had a championship team while he played but the fans certainly had a CHAMPION to cheer for.
My favourite RB of all time 🔥🔥🔥
There are at least 20 plays Barry did that are more ridiculous than those top 50. The difference is, they were between -2 and 3 yards.
He routinely had to dodge defenders before getting to the line of scrimmage
I tell people this all the time. If you watched the games he played you know this.
Yes, so many times he'd take off and then stop while the defenders fell down around him. Then he'd get 2-3 yards more than he should have.
It was very common for him to run 20-30 yards just to gain 2.
The most humble athlete I've ever seen. Barry was bad to the bone nice vid
Bruh ! You would lose a little steam too if you were carrying the whole offensive line too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The reason that 100m sprinters have FASTER times than 100m High Hurdlers, is because the hurdles are obstacles that have to be successfully dealt with to get to the finish line and require more energy than simply sprinting straight ahead. Most of the reason he's getting caught is he successfully navigating over hurdles that are changing height and direction to trip him up before he then tries to outrun those cornerbacks and safeties who are simply turning and running, without going over and through hurdles to catch up to him. So says a former NFL runningback that I know.
The GOAT
Barry was not just the shiftiest runner with the fastest acceleration, but he had the biggest brain as well. He could analyze and process where the defense was going to be, better than anyone ever. This processing ability was the football equivalent of a great basketball point guard knowing where players are going to be in order to make assists.
HE WAS THE BEST NO ONE WAS BETTER
Barry usually had a defender in his face on the handoff. The Lions O-line was horrible the entire time. He also had more negative yards than any other back at the time because there were no holes to run through.
The fact that he still averaged 5.0 yards per carry for his career? Superhuman.
Had Barry played behind a pro-level line? 3,000 yards in a season would very well have been his mark
Barry got caught from behind only if the cornerback had an angle on him. And I never saw a safety or linebacker catch him from behind
My fave NFL player of all time followed closely by TB12 💪🏾. I had a Barry Sanders Jersey back in the day which has since disappeared 🤧, I’m so sad he retired in his prime as he had so many years left to play imo.
No OLB was ever catching Barry, I have no idea what gave you that notion. Barry got caught a couple of times early in his career and his OL guys gave him a bunch of shit for it so he spent an offseason doing nothing but working on his endurance and distance running and he rarely got caught after that. Usually when someone got him that way it was because they had an angle, not many guys just flat ran him down from behind after his second or third season. Also, consider how often he broke big runs off, there are a lot more plays of him getting caught out there because he had so many more long runs than most guys do
And his acceleration is unparalleled
He had a crazy burst through the hole
oh man, i am writing this and im only 25 seconds into your video (and nothing is happening im glad you doing Barry Sanders video, one of my fave runners in any sport of all time. Im looking forward to this, my older brother told me he was a guy that gets your 40 plus yards or minus 20. to me one of the most exciting athletes in any sports.)
Once you watch barry, no reason to watch anyone else.
Barry Sanders is 1 of 1.
Barry maintains speed as he cuts.
I used to WRECK Techmo Bowl with Barry Sanders.
Bro! You sound crazy. You're not seeing what I'm been seeing for years with this guy.
Goosebumps bro...the best to ever do it and he's is such a humble and nice person
And Number 1, Barry vs whole dam team and BArry wins WTF that had to be one of the all time great plays of any contact sport hahaha i never scene that ever in grid iron from anyone but Barry.
and you never will
Vision, elusiveness, cutting, juking, He’s got it all. I think what you missed is acceleration. He hits top speed quicker than anyone else on the field. He’s never the fastest player at top end. How could he? He was only 5’8”. Usain Bolt was probably 6’3”. They almost always catch him if there’s enough field. But no one gets off the line quicker.
The two 80 yards td runs against TB was in the same game.
"If there's a better runner, God has not made him yet." -Wayne Fontes, Lions Head Coach
Yes to more NFL
Props to you man. I've seen a lot of people react to Barry Sanders and not a single one ever noticed that he never stops moving. Constantly pushing forward. Legs never stop.
5'8", 205. Like trying to tackle a fire hydrant.
He definitely embarrassed a lot of Vikes, along with the Bucs and Bears. They all had to HATE being in the same division with him. He was on a talk show with John Lynch a few years ago and Lynch said "Buddy, it's great to see you, but I just finally stopped having the nightmares!"
He ran a 4.37 yes the hell he is fast
If you think he was dominant as a pro, you should see his college highlights and stats. Some of his NCAA records still stand.
Sanders' speed was in the first 40 yards like most great backs. More 50-yard runs than any other running back. Got to be pretty Damm fast for that
He had 4.38 speed. His thing was he could go 0-top speed in 3 steps. When he got caught it was usually from an angle. He would have a bunch of carries before he would break off those long runs.
Somebody needs to put together a best of 5 yard gains. Some of his best runs were behind the line.
A 4.3 40 is pretty fast and like some of the guys said he's tired af when he's been run down carrying a pretty heavy load for his team
Hate to tell you but Barry's 40 was a 4.37 watched him all my life and it was actually very rare he got caught from behind lol
His top end speed was good, but not quite elite, which is why you see some flyer DB's eventually run him down, but his initial acceleration was out of this world. He'd dance and juke until he saw a little daylight, and then the rockets kicked in and he was blowing by everyone... and they had to hope somebody had the speed or a great angle to catch him. Then they had to actually tackle him. God, he was fun to watch!
Update: As soon as I wrote this you started talking about the same thing. Spot on.
He had 4.4-4.3 40 which is plenty fast, but this is also a guy running for a thousand yards for ten straight seasons. It's gonna tire you out and slow you down a bit.
The Goat
Acceleration is key. He gotz da hole speed!
Barry Sanders ran a 4.37 . Yes he can got ran down because of the angles of defensive players and all of the cuts, jump cuts, jukes and dodging, he was simply tired.
If you never watched him live, but only highlights. Things that are not shown is the number of times he rushed in games and how bad the O-Line was. Oh and never and disrespect Barry by saying a rugby player is similar to him 😂
What a tragedy that Play Number 1 was Detroit’s last playoff win touchdown. Oh how I wish they won the NFC Championship the next week but the Redskins that year were unstoppable.
I have to make another comment after watching more of this video: You made the comment on one play that "Barry has to work on that speed." when two players clearly had the angle on him and Barry was up against the sidelines and had nowhere to go. If players have the angle on you a player slower than you can catch up with you.
The reason he gets caught is the Lions ran a "Silver Stretch" offense. Safeties were normally 12 yards off the ball not to mention horse tackling was legal back then
You must realize that if someone gets the angle you, they can catch you. It is true then and it is true now.
Wrong about the plays were the defenders had the angle to chase him down
Grid Iron is more dangerous than Rugby possibly because they tackle from all directions and those helmets must be dangerous?
I would say #1 was honestly his vision, then agility/ability to change direction (stop 'n start) at the same time... acceleration after that, forget about it. Best RB of all time. He maybe didn't have "breakaway" speed, but he was fast as hell -- and he was also smarter than who was chasing him, so he was faster to the spot he needed to go. The field isn't always 100 yards... he just beats you to where he needs to and u can't catch his ass.
He owned the Vi-queens b/c he was in their division and got to play in their dome 2x per year, so he could cut better.
He definitely had breakaway speed as evidenced by all those 40+ runs he had!
6:10 Another crazy thing re the Vikings is at least 3 of those highlights, maybe 4, are from the SAME GAME
At Switzer's team was about to face Barry he told his team in the locker room whatever you do do not hurt Thurman Thomas because you do not want to see that freshman his back up because he's worse than Thurman to tackle
Vikings were just coming on when Barry was smoking them. Bears and Packers, especially Packers with Favre.
Loved the reaction bro! But FYI, Barry runs a 4.3 40 time. He just exerts all that energy getting into the open field. 👍
I’ve wondered about that. Did anyone do a faster 40? Seems like no one got to top speed quicker than Sanders
Liking the RB highlight legends, as a rugby fan it's cool to see some NFL runners
Everyone knows he's quick, but people forget he has greater top in speed than you might think. The times he was able to reach top speed. Could you imagine a back field with Jim Brown and Barry Sanders?
you got another one lol.
Where are your other fast running backs that have this many long runs?
Cullen is a good comparison I reckon 👍
He ran a 4.3 at the combine
The guys he was making look silly were no chumps either. There weren't many who could catch him once he hit that gear.
I disagree with you on Barry's speed. In many cases Barry is trying to outrun the angle that the defensive playing hold. In case where is being run down it often with a horse collar tackle which is now banned, and also, Barry has juked 3 or 4 players, changed directions then he breaks in the open field giving the defensive players the advantage.
i am not totally sure, but i think number 41 was his first ever NFL touch an d he ran for like 18-19 yards
I don’t hate these too 50 videos but this ain’t his most craziest videos. They take history into account for their consideration. He’s got more impressive plays than this (no kidding some of them for small gains). He’s the only player that could lose a yard and still make say, “WOW!” What MJ was in the air, Sanders was on the ground.
Oh and personally, I love number three the most. Dude is getting spun in the air, but as soon as that left foot strikes the ground…he’s full speed. That acceleration is truly unreal, because he’s spinning as his foot is landing. That’s insane body control and strength.
Most of these tackles are illegal (mostly horse collars). Only way to tackle Barry.
I don't care how FAST you are; if the defender has the right angle, you're gonna get caught, period. he wasn't slow the defender made the right play
Re watch. When he got caught it's was after 50-60 yards first.
From what I can see on this video Barry's wide receivers were below average blockers who sometimes prevented him from getting touchdowns by not doing their jobs. Otherwise he would not have been caught from behind on a few of these plays. Notice how often they're not even in the picture on his long runs down the field. Just saying..
The Detroit Lions at that time had some damned good receivers - for a lot of his career, he was with Herman Moore, Brett Perriman, and/or Johnny Morton. The problem was that they had a terrible offensive line and sub-par quarterbacks, so even with the threat of those three receivers, teams would key on Sanders instead. What you're seeing a lot of there is bad play calling, plus Barry regularly going off-script because the hole he wasn't supposed to have wasn't there. Especially in the first half of the video, you can see a lot of instances where he started a set play - usually a draw - then bailed because it wasn't going to work.
@@Taliesyn42 you're right about the QB situation when he was there but his OL was good at least as often as it wasn't. There were several pro bowlers playing OL during his tenure in Detroit. Thing about Barry was that he was getting 1500 a year whether he had good blockers or not, it was just about how hard he was going to have to work himself to do it
@@Taliesyn42 I know what I saw. Mostly poor downfield blocking by his receivers. In fact on at least a couple of plays those jokers fell down when they should have been blocking. More impressed with the offensive line than the receiving corps. By the way, not every play is going to work all the time. After all, defensive players are also professionals doing their jobs.
@@PapaEli-pz8ff Yeah, you keep blaming the actually good receivers because that's what you saw in highlight reels. I'll continue going by having watched him play over the course of his decade on the Lions while it was happening, play after play after play behind an offensive line that was just miserable.
The Vikings were terrified of Sanders, they play in the same division so they have to face him 2× a season...unfair 😅
to me he original Ankle Breaker before Basketball was using that term. Barry was breaking ankles as his offence line wasnt very good and their passing game was terrible. so it was team Barry Sanders lol hince the 40 plus or minus 20 reputation he had.
He definitely wasn't slow. Most TD runs are straight ahead, with only a few cuts. Rarely do you see several cuts before hitting a hole, then having to run all the way across field while dodging a ton of defenders. The people you saw who caught him from behind were running in a straight line and got to up to top speed before he was able to. Also, most of his caught from behind runs came in '94. It happened a lot less after that.
Na my Brotha . U must realize first off every time u take a cut your speed likely goes down 2% , almost every break away he has about 3 cuts before striding straight . Most defenders have one cut and choose an angle . And some even better are already in stride from an angle behind and catch him bc he is sometimes not in full stride yet or running at 94% plus every once in a while there is that one guy who also is the same speed as him at a cb that is taught to run at angles my Brotha
Do a bas rutten defence video review
He had breakaway speed of course he,s going to get tired when you get almost 25 carries a game and most linebackers couldn't catch him .
I don't know if he was among the fastest running backs in a foot race, but he was really fast, believe me.
That should be to the house? WRONG. . .Other players may have an angle that NOBODY will beat on any given play. And Barry is making TONS of yardage on those plays where he's caught from behind. . .TONS of yardage that other backs would not make. On those plays where you say he should have gone to the house most backs wouldn't have even gotten through the line like Barry did. And when Barry retired after only ten years he was about to break the ALL-TIME NFL record for career rushing yardage! But he said he just didn't have the desire to play anymore so he gave up that opportunity to be No 1 all-time. But not every play that gets through the line "should go to the house". What are ya sayin? The defense doesn't have ANYBODY with ANY speed???? C'mon man, on those plays Barry gained huge yardage that most other guys wouldn't. Get a clue!
Do your thing bro
True he may not be the fastest, but the main reason Barry gets caught from behind is because he's busy eluding tackles, which slows him up. He's not in a full-out stride, while his pursuers are already at full pace chasing him. Plus, many of those who do catch him from behind, do so coming in at an angle.
Barry wasn't *THE* fastest, but Barry was legit fast - 4.3 40 yard dash/10.3 100 meters. Dude had wheels fo sho fo sho.
Barry and Emmitt Smith were the 2 top dogs at RB. Barry was better than Emmitt but they had similar skills. There was of course a rivalry there with the Cowboys, Lions last playoff win. Barry was better but Emmitt played longer, longer than he should have, to set those records that should've been Barry's.
What are you talking about? He had 4.3 speed, look it up
Only reason he gets caught is cause he exhausted from carrying the team the whole fame
The Vikings bears and packers was glad when he retired cuz mite he would not make them look like he was a man playing boys I watched him play from 9 to almost 18
6:25- Yea Detroit Lions and Vikings in the same Conference. fierce Rivalry with those two and Greenbay and Chicago so you going to get lots of highlights with them.
If you really look most of the time he’s caught it’s from the angle of the field. Also he was like 95% of the lions offense and they literally had top 3 worse offensive lines of all time . Barry had to use a lot of energy to get through them tackles it looks like great blocking but it really wasn’t
Only NFL Jedi
Mr. Teflon.
Walter Payton was ok. You might want to see his highlight reel.
Barry is the goat it's a shame he had to play for two sorry-ass teams first it was Oklahoma State then the sorry-ass Detroit Lions
He also won the Heisman trophy at Oklahoma State I think he's the only one to ever win the Heisman at Oklahoma State
