smack500 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I was watching the espn special about his career the other day, and I hadnt realized how good he was. Some of his runs were amazing the way he forced his way down the field, one play he had like 5 guys on his back and still scored. Ive never seen portis do anything like that with us, no offence intended to portis. Im not racist or prejudice, but I was wondering why dont you see any good white rb/fb in the league anymore? Also to fans who remember super bowl XVII. He said something to effect of he ran the team back then, is that true or was it Theismann? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinthemboys Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I believe because black athletes are quicker, faster, and more athletic. Those are all strong attributes to a great RB in the league today. I'm not racist either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smack500 Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 why aren't their middle eastern or oriental rbs in nfl For one thing they dont represent a very large portion of the us population.

DaSkinzBaby Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I also heard that Riggins has alot of Indian (American) in his blood, maybe that is why he was so fond of firewater and why he left when white man speak with forked tongue :laugh: . Riggins was also a world class sprinter in high school. He was a unique blend of speed and strength and power. He was to me what Mike Alstot is today. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuck Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Some of his runs were amazing the way he forced his way down the field, one play he had like 5 guys on his back and still scored. Ive never seen portis do anything like that with us, no offence intended to portis. But you wouldn't see Riggins make a super quick cut and dart 20 yards up the field either. They are two totally different types of backs. But Riggins was an amazing ball control runner. He was very consistant and he was money to pick up at least 3 yards.

bbuzz1962 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 What you could see is a man who would run 5 people over on his way to the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
