  • Did anybody see my lover -Brandon Jacobs- tonight?
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Heck of a running back, probably one of the more underrated backs in the league. He seems to enjoy contact which is a good thing, but if I were a Giants fan, I'd be a little worried about durability. Its hard to run like that in the NFL for a long time.
Sweetness never worried about contact.
Walter Payton was different. There have been very few like him, if any at all.

My cautionary tale to Brandon Jacobs would be Earl Campbell. That dude was a bad dude who just ran over people left and right. At age 50, Earl could barely walk.
It seems like backs just don't last very long these days. Maybe the speed and strength of NFL players has reached the point where the impact forces are too high.
Bo Jackson is another, that much impact is bound to shorten your career

I think there's a high luck factor too. Jackson took that fluke hit to his hip, and crushed the blood supply near the joint. All of the money in the world couldn't fix it. It doesn't matter how strong you are, an unlucky hit can do permanent damage.

There is more than luck involved in durability. Most people just aren't made to handle continual pounding year in and year out for over a decade and continue to perform at a high level. Players like Walter Payton and Emmit Smith are special for that. Most players turn out like Edgerrin James and Shaun Alexander who wear down rather quickly.
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

What I love about Jacobs is how he may get tackled and go down, but he sure as hell makes the defender pay for it.
