Wow ....I guess a power fullback can be a
dominant touchdown threat. The NFL
never learns anything from performances like
this though...
If given a chance Karney might be an Alstott or Bettis clone...
Maybe I overreacted on that quote, comparing Karney to Alsott is a
little strong. Karney is very powerful, but looking at his stature
doesn't look to be the all round athlete that Alstott is. Alstott
wasn't as fast as some other great power runners like Riggins, Brandon
Jacobs (or Leonard, Michael Bush and Kyle Bell if you're going to talk
college football)...but he is very light on his feet, quick and agile
for a big man..I also have never seen a more powerful runner, I think
Alstott even beats Bettis and Riggins in this category...Brandon Jacobs
though, from what I've seen being a Giants fan looks like a complete
beast and may challenge Alstott in this category. He will become
the starter after Tiki's retirement...It may be a little early to write
the book on that one...I have a habit of doing that!
I know for a fact that Leonard, Michael Bush, Jacobs
and Kyle Bell run sub 4.6 40's and I would guess RIggins did as well
from watching clips of him. However I think I heard Alstott runs in the
mid 4.6's and Bettis in the low 4.6's...This is hearsay information
though...If anyone has links or knows for a fact Bettis, Riggins and
Alstott's 40 times I'd really like to know...I'm obsessed with workout
numbers! I think that when you're arguing the caste system you have to
use a two fold arguement... 1)Non black players elite
production against legitimate competition at the level they were given
a chance at
2)Comparing their combine or workout numbers to great NFL black players
who do not test above them in these areas... for instance Mike Hass is
much more athletic than Anquan Boldin and on par with Issac Bruce!
