PonyBoy Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Boy, as time goes on you kind of forget how great he was. If Josh could have a weapon like this...look out! A very good O line would help too 🤞 3 2 1 Quote
Einstein Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 His vision and ability to cutback were just incredible. The anti-Singletary. Thurman would have scored on this play, instead of getting 2 yards. 2 Quote
27yankees Posted July 3, 2023 Author Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) I would honestly say that Thurman was only behind Sweetness and Jim Brown. Other than that as an all around back, no one was better. Edited July 3, 2023 by 27yanks 1 2 Quote

machine gun kelly Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) House, it’s the holiday weekend. No crapping in cornflakes. 😇 I used to get in bar talk arguments I would’ve taken Thrumon over Emmett Smith any day of the week. I loved how versatile he was in all phases of the game. It still chaps me Marv couldn’t get his head out of you know where and recognize what Parcells and BB we’re doing laying 8 back in that SB. As it stands Thurmon had 135 rushing and 190 yards overall and we lost. Had we just pivoted the Giants would e had to start placing more guys in the box and then the K Gun could’ve worked. I remember it like it was yesterday. It’s the only one of the four that really gets to me, because we were the better team. Anyway, OP thanks for the fond memories on this red, white, and blue holiday weekend. Edited July 3, 2023 by machine gun kelly 1 3 1 Quote

babulator Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 The "classic" NFL music makes me want to jump through a table or maybe better... play King of the Hill! I digress... Quote

OJ and Shady say hello. also, these guys are pretty annoyed they get no love. Marshall Faulk Ladanian Tomlinson Earl Campbell Tony Dorset Marcus Allen Gale Sayers I’d also throw in Priest Holmes and Terrell Davis for the short time they played the game. They were both dominant when they were healthy. 3 Quote

BuffaloBill Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 He was a special player. Also cool to see at about the 6:00 mark James Lofton blocking about 15 yards downfield on a Thurman run. Quote
Shaw66 Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Bills would have won a Lombardi if they had Thurman instead of Motor. Would have won a couple if they OJ instead of Thurman. 5 1 1 Quote

Id encourage you to know what you’re talking about before posting, but then we’d never hear from you. WAIT!😳 5 2 1 Quote
