I think Alstott should have been the Bucs' starting RB of the 90s and 00s
but
spent several of his prime athletic years as second fiddle to Warrick Dunn.
Dunn wasn't so bad, but then again, neither were dozens of white RBs
who
never got as many carries (read: NONE) as Dunn.
I believe that if Alstott got only 3/4 of the handoffs that Dunn got, Alstott
would get more yards. But Dunn would never be able to block for Alstott
the
way Alstott blasted the way open for Dunn.
So the relative selflessness of Alstott as "blocking FB" -- as with the
general
selflessness of white FBs is their undoing as potential RBs.
I wish there were a white RB and FB combo on some NFL squad, but of
course, blacks would never allow this, not because of their prohibitive
talent, but because of their prohibitive politics and whites' willingness to
play along like parrots.Edited by: yanling
