Enter Apotheosis Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 am i the only one that thinks riggins is overrated 3.5 ypc behind the most dominant line in nfl history comeon Stats are a bit misleading at times. If Riggins can get a consistent 3.5 yards per carry and Clinton Portis breaks off a 20 yard run every now and then to bring his average up to 4 ypc, who is going to convert more first downs running the ball 3 times in a row?

Forever21 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I vote for option 3.... The earth will explode Exactly. It'd be the big bang all over again. The start of a new planet and a new civilization. "The Unstopable Force meets The Immovable Object" would be the headline in the newspapers the next day. What Wrestlemania did I steal that line from? :laugh: Stolen or not it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flave1969 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 John Riggins was a sprinter at Kansas. Watch him run away in Superbowl 17. A 240 pound runner with his speed is always going to be tough to bring down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Riggo with a full head of steam and Taylor with a full head of steam? Good god. They would need to hire a crew just to clean up the mess. We all know Riggo was a beast and was fearless but we also know Taylor can lay the wood to guys bigger than him and is absolutely fearless as well. I'll go with option 3: The planet would explode.

ouvan59 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 am i the only one that thinks riggins is overrated 3.5 ypc behind the most dominant line in nfl history comeon Why yes, you are the only one. You have to have been there. His ability to wear down a defense was legendary. Looking at stats (and film footage) you would think that Billy Kilmer wasn't very good either. Stats, particularly in football, don't tell the whole story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirtyfive2seven Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Riggins wins. Sean Taylor is a good player but he has a LONG way to go. If he starts becoming that 'ball hawking' safety everyone tauted him to be coming out of college and makes more than 2-3 INTs a year he may be considered great one day. Right now, he's known for throwing his body around and making big hits. That's about it. Although I did love his 2 fumble recoveries for a touchdown in as many weeks.

ldysknzfn1 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I voted Riggo of course. I witnessed it myself. ST would have been weak in the knees if Riggins headed in his direction. I don't think alot of the players of today would have "made it" during John Riggins' day. Those guys actually loved the game...it was all about winning...not $$$$ like most players today. jmo <i didn't witness a JR & ST showdown...I witnessed JR plowing over everything in his path...after I posted and read that..I realized that folks may think I meant...I witnessed this particular show down...so I cleared it up be4 being filleted :laugh: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever21 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 ST would have been weak in the knees if Riggins headed in his direction. Not sure ST would get weak in the knees at anyone coming in his direction but I still think Riggins would have won the collision between them.

ThePreciating Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hey 909997, Watch a replay of 70 chip. Riggo gets drilled on what should be for a loss, but instead he puts the dude down on the ground and keeps on going. You can't quantify heart like Riggo had, it doesn't exist in the NFL today mainly due to overinflated contracts and injury concerns. If John Riggins decided he was taking a game over, there was nothing you could do about it. There are very few players about whom you can say that in today's NFL. Watch the replay from the Dallas playoff that year when we ran the same play agan and again, right up the middle, and they could not stop us. Repeat - the defense knew exactly where the ball was going, and they COULD NOT STOP US. THAT was the John Riggins difference. I only wish I had been a little older to have truly appreciated it.

Diesel70ChipOnWhite Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Riggo. But it would look like this..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampSkinsFanatic Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Being as though I have met them both, John Riggins is huge and could possibly truck Taylor. But that hasnt happened to Taylor since College. Who do you know that runs through Lorenzo Neal and makes Ladanian Tomlinson fumble? My vote goes to Sean Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flycoach Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 You're comparing apples to oranges. Riggins vs. Larry Brown or Taylor vs. Ken Houston makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveStrongSkins Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 :laugh: This thread is funny. There would be several instances where Riggins wins and several where Taylor wins. If Taylor has the momentum then Riggins would get smashed.. if Taylor is on his heels then Riggins would win. Taylor is a collision hitter that relies on great timing and explosion. Any scenario that has Taylor in motion goes to ST hands down. Those guys Riggins plowed over in his day are like kids compared to what these guys are now.

nace14 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 two objects can never actual reach each other. all they can do is get half as close to each other and so there will always be half a distance between them. more importantly on a molecular level the surrounding electrons will push objects away from eachother. if however, john riggins and sean taylor were running head onto eachother, the laws of physics would be snaped and the electrons would explode causing a nuclear reaction and all in the stadium and a 250 mile radius would instantly be incinerated.

SkinsFTW Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Remember that guy in the SB 17 run who bounced off Riggins when he ran in from 43? That's the best Taylor could hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveStrongSkins Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Remember that guy in the SB 17 run who bounced off Riggins when he ran in from 43?That's the best Taylor could hope for. Highly doubt that. Riggins was no where near as explosive and powerful as the athletes today. I personally think he would get eaten up in todays league.

ttr77 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Riggins...hands down. The best part is that he wouldn't even have the ball in his hand. Because it was a play-action fake and the receiver would be running free 20 yards behind the collision. But man, look at Taylor take that hit!
