It looked as if he was seeing everyone else move in slow motion so he made moves accordingly. Kind of like Neo in the matrix when he realized he was the one. He was able to counter every move because to him they were in slow motion. I get that same vibe from Love watching his highlights. Especially with the hurdles. It's like he knows they are going for his legs before the tackler does. Most of the time the tackler gets just enough of the runner to trip him up. With Love he is able to clear the tackler and keep running on multiple occasions. Love just looks different. He is alot more of a north south runner than berry to me. That isn't to say he doesn't have great patience and lateral ability, he does. Berry was just different in that regard though. He would stop, start, wiggle, cut stop again then redirect. It was ungodly the agility. I can see the spatial awareness component in the slightly different way that you mention though.

So he’d stop for like half sec either juke the guy or just wait for the guy to fly by and then with full balance and acceleration find daylight and rip off a long run. Usually that type of distraction just totally blows up the run play. I don’t think you’ll ever see anyone like him again.

It's horrible that he never even got to play in a Super Bowl, but in a way it's a testament to how great he was that people still describe him as rhe GOAT even without post season success. Imagine if he'd played for the Cowboys, 49ers, Packers, or Broncos back then. DCTitan, Callidus, and rns90 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was with a decent OL, WR and a 2000 yard rusher in Sanders . Callidus, and NashvilleNinja 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted Sunday at 08:55 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:55 PM Have been saying for a while that I hope Borgonzi drafts one of the 3 smaller quicker IDL in this draft (Halton, Durant, Proctor).

I keep seeing Proctor and Durant available in the 6th or 7th rounds in these mock simulators and my flabbers get gasted every time. I know they can't all get drafted early but it's hard for me to imagine any of them getting past the 4th. I keep grabbing Halton in the 3rd pretty much every mock.

Down right superhuman. If we had sunday ticket as a kid the only team I would have watched every chance i got beside the titans/oilers would have been the lions. Luckily my best friends dad had sunday ticket and a 3 tv setup or i wouldn't have even been able to watch the titans game growing up in florida.

Their games were pretty well broadcast/distributed . They weren’t ahead of Dallas/SF/GB but in the tier behind those teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
