ExiledInIllinois Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Typical old guy... Wants all the gravy work. Hey Hersch... How 'bout carrying the rock for 30 carries a game. Yeah, I though so.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Its hard to let go... ...in the NFL Fixed for you CBF
Buftex Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Doesn't Herschel say this pretty much every year? It used to be Jim Brown, but then I guess even he realized it was starting to sound ridiculous....
MOFO Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Doesn't Herschel say this pretty much every year? It used to be Jim Brown, but then I guess even he realized it was starting to sound ridiculous.... Imagine all the Ensure that combined backfield would go through...
KD in CA Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Doesn't Herschel say this pretty much every year? It used to be Jim Brown, but then I guess even he realized it was starting to sound ridiculous.... I wonder who will take up the mantle once Herschel retires from the gig. Emmitt Smith?
Buffaloed in Pa Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Imagine all the Ensure that combined backfield would go through... yeah now its fred ,saying he`s playing 3 more yrs.
RyanC883 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 someone should sign him. Put him in a preseason game. See if he can actually do it. This guy is apparently in great shape. I'm not saying he could, but lets see. Make him "walk the walk" so to speak
eSJayDee Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 He might very well be able to - for one week. When he played ~20 yrs ago, he was elite, so it's quite possible that if he kept himself in shape, he would still have the abilities of a lower echelon player. However, as a "weekend athlete" not much younger than him, I can emphatically state that a ~50 yr old body does NOT recover like a ~20 yr olds. Further, what I recover from (actually, I'm pretty much in a constant state of one thing or another being semi-injured ) is in NO way at the same level of what I can only imagine is the wear/damage inflicted playing an NFL game.
Lurker Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Typical old guy... Wants all the gravy work. Hey Hersch... How 'bout carrying the rock for 30 carries a game. Yeah, I though so. Who pissed in your Cherios? He probably cound handle a RB by committee role for a few games, which is all he's saying...
MDH Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 He might very well be able to - for one week. When he played ~20 yrs ago, he was elite Hershel Walker was never elite in the NFL. College, sure. USFL, yep. Once he stepped in with the big boys he was a pretty good player, but nothing to write home about.
YoloinOhio Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 From what I recall he couldn't even play anymore at 33.
Not at the table Karlos Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 IF he still runs a 4.3(i doubt it) like he says he could probably play. He keeps himself in pretty good shape.

Once he stepped in with the big boys he was a pretty good player, but nothing to write home about. I'll concede, maybe calling him "elite" might be overly generous, but he was a starting caliber RB who rushed for 1000 yrs 2x. Certainly not a bottom rung, borderline journeymen.

Certainly not a bottom rung, borderline journeymen. Twice went to the Pro Bowl, right? Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else....anyway, no. If he could still play, then why did he retire so early?

Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 ... And return kicks http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/6/19/8811875/herschel-walker-nfl-mma-2015 he did some MMA matches a couple yrs back just read the article, No way he still runs a 4.3, I heard Dallas needs another back.
Dr. Fong Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Well he also says he never lifted a weight in his life, so I don't necessarily take everything he says seriously.
