ball

field the way he could take you down was like poetry in motion, that's a special highlight reel every time the

barry

sanders

left side sanders breaks second down and 10 sanders big hole breaks a couple of tackles looks towards second down and two sanders big run by barry sanders near midfield sanders touchdown lions needed a franchise player and barry had that flash, he had that ability to light up a place, sanders had a lot of room to run 40 30. jerry sanders is still standing up to nine thousand, oh what a move, the cut is in a great position, gives a step too far and it's over another flag here. in the end here Sanders draw ran around Bubba Baker four catches 116 on the day for him Sanders keeps connecting touchdown Barry Sanders broke three tackles there inside the Chicago 20 Sanders touchdown Sanders has the first and then a Barry Sanders touchdown oh there it is again sanders going to the right again and he will score again galliano he leaves it to sanders oh, he's at the 10. he's at the goal line he runs away thomas makes browner miss he makes another move inside he makes another defensive back he misses and bounces into the end zone for the touchdown Galliano throws a short screen to Sanders, watch out for Barry Sanders and he could score a touchdown.

Detroit Sanders, the ball carrier, first, heads for the Paydirt touchdown. Detroit, Dennis Smith on a blitz and then they throw right behind him to Sanders on a screen touchdown. oh my god, he gets back in the fight, he hands Sanders his hand, he goes out at 30 25 20 turns at 15 10 5. the mission breaks a tackle touchdown that's why he's the best running back in football there's a move there's a move there's a move He'll make about eight or nine moves and make six or seven guys lose Barry is not a raw rock type of person, well I think his work speaks for itself.

You make eight people lose on one play, do you really need to do that? dunk on the ball boy what a great change of pace to see one of the best players in the game going to the end zone and acting like he's been there before. I'm going to turn around and humbly run back to the sideline sanders and down. the passing line barry moves away from a short tackle to the left side he's at 20. he's at 15 10. he's at the five barry sanders a spectacular touchdown run a purdue rookie number 76 and sanders will score the first down and more careful with the touchdown detroit cramer sanders touchdown from the 17 with minnesota salmon making space on their own and in the end zone you see barry sanders make the moves he makes in this race, you know why this is the best running back, if not the best player the national football league in the afternoon for eric creamer with sanders and sanders on first down, who is going to make vader's touchdown in detroit first and 10 from the 41. sanders and sanders shooting and making their way inside the 15 minnesota vikings third and five sanders, guess what? touchdown lions 219 yards on 22 carries four touchdowns how late for barry sanders trying to tie this game kramer barry spencer's touchdown lions wow we had a chance to make the playoffs because we had barry sanders the absolute x factor of any football team that could take you from the depths of despair to the peak of joy in a single transport, it could be calm right now and a storm could occur in the next five minutes to block Mary towards 45 and the blows towards 40. he breaks it 35 30. he made an incredible touchdown, ryan's barry sanders, six cowboys missed him, where did he go, what direction did he go, he's behind you, tony, every time we talk about barry we say he's The best career you could have had?

It's been the best race, you think you've tackled them, oh, I mean, that's by keeping your feet moving and getting Sanders moving. I'm sitting there like I'm saying it made them fools of the time I spent fantasizing about football and just dreaming about things I wanted to do on the field at certain times I almost felt like I could do anything. He is the best running back in international football today and he is one of the best I have seen in a long time and as I grew into a running back you are almost familiar with him, he has the 43 yard line and he is Larry Sanders trying to take advantage of a small opening and breaks it and will reach the Detroit touchdown.

Some things just deserve another look. Look at this. You imagine the ability, the God-given talent, that takes second place and you bounce off. Sanders, running race, time for Barry Sanders and forget it, touchdown. I know we have to face this guy. A guy we can't depend on. One was attacked in Pittsburgh. as we begin the fourth quarter, sanders lands in detroit, a 10 year old man from drake number 63. sanders runs through a hole, sanders on the way to the end zone, johnson, the only man with the possibility of seeing sanders at through a big hole it's in the 20 131 yards running by sanders they give it back around the corner touchdown and here it is sanders from the tie sprint no one is there has time to throw the man wide barry sanders a man to beat his carrier who saved the 33 yard touchdown it was played three minutes here in pontiac he ran for a blitz he's running for a touchdown you're not going to catch him and sanders somehow escapes and runs for the first down and a lot plus second and ten handoff to sanders Sanders gets the first down and guess what gives him that little stutter step, another stutter step, the hesitation booth comes to the corner, look, you wouldn't want to be here.

Coleman 82 moves to block Sanders' hand. Harry Sanders, you can catch him and catch someone. no possession, but it looks like it's Tolman again and it's Sanders looking for daylight. Sanders gets the corner. Barry Sanders explodes. Barry Sanders' highlight reels are out of this world. I was never the type of runner who could run through someone he always had to find. another way to get around them Mitchell on the line to Berry cuts him down the middle 35-30 explodes for the 25 breaks the tackle to the 20. he'll take it here's the touchdown lions barry sanders sanders look at this turns it completely around look at us here here bye bye hello where are you thanks cuts in the breaks a couple of tackles still standing sanders near midfield has more to block it sanders going outside dante jones can't catch it either can anyone else and barry sanders? wilfred is the only shot if he takes the right angle and wilford makes the hornswoggle play here there is a handoff to sanders and he just runs away from the tacklers and sanders is gone unless someone can run him over and they can do it there is that cut down mode when we talk about other great things and there are certainly other great running backs in this lake and Thor, absolutely, but Barry Sanders has never had the passing game to complement his career, he has never had the great offensive line, this guy is something else, no, he's the Detroit Lion Craig shakes hands on Barry Sanders touchdown and Barry Sanders kicks him out big yards just look at the brilliance of this when God created Barry Sanders even he didn't know what Sanders did there in the middle over that 47 yard rung you better add a few more touchdowns for sanders no flags is amazing six times he has had runs of 60 or more yards the rest of the league only three six guys on each side of the ball cut sanders has a little of space outside here goes barry sanders touchdown detroit sanders from the left side barry extends to the corner to the 10 at five sanders takes it touchdown lions got up from the grass possession for detroit harry sanders with a scene sanders with a cut and sanders for the sideline a loss touchdown play the barry sanders barry sanders they're going to run a fake reverse barry keeps it look the other way 50 gone they'll never catch him what 15-10 five touchdown lions oh man second down and one sanders finds a hole in left side baron sanders will score for the line sanders turns the corner and has the touchdown sanders goes to throw can't find anyone and barry throws back to morton johnny morton everything is going well he can even throw the ball if you're not ready to play this one guy can kill you because he will make you miss the tackle, he could freeze you and then hit you, make you stop and while you stopped to collapse he left, no one in the history of the game stopped and started in a different way. direction as fast as barry all these defenders looked like kids trying to tackle this guy you couldn't believe he was doing these moves and making these nfl players look as bad as he did to the lions and again here's mitchell wide open like sanders is incredible and there goes barry sanders touchdown he will kill the lions here is sanders touchdown incredible there is graphic evidence of why you want to use perhaps the best running back in football they are going to give it to barry sanders he gives you back the touch I think he made something out of absolutely nothing 10. and they give us Barry, oh what he just did with Reggie White Sanders is something, as he shows a little muscle while carrying him to the end zone, he gives the berry the first try. breaks into the five touchdown lions detroit can't work that far down the field sanders in the change of direction sanders in the end zone from the tie to berry to the 50 40. when in doubt, give it to barry oaks, he's the one best in business barry sanders cut down the middle got three to the 25 30s out to the races 40 midfield 40. it's a foot race in a straight line barry sanders crashes to the left side of the 10. barry changes hands at five takes it in touchdown lions speed sanders barry sanders inside the 20 inside the 10. highlight film style there's another miss that was bryant young mcdonald missed it twice dodge slid off him and they were on the nickel defense i mean five defensive backs and barry sanders takes it all the way If he's not the best, even though the only one who came close was Jim Brown, you almost had to stop what you were doing just to see what Bear was going to do because you knew he was going to do something amazing to break a streak of five consecutive losses.

Mitchell, in trouble again, gets out of there and takes it to Barry Sanders in the open field and watches Sanders make moves now he has some blocking on the other side. Sanders Maker touchdown in Detroit. Awesome, they got the Packers next week on Fox Barry Sanders. he breaks it for the lions and here is barry sanders what a juke up the middle and barry sanders in tampa bay sanders territory in the 10th he will score a touchdown detroit john lynch was the unblocked man he came down from the safety position no one touched him his jockstrap is on the 20 yard line, here's Barry Sanders making a tackle and Barry Sanders ran past Melvin Johnson and it looks like he's going to score, how the hell did he turn that corner?

He is next to a defender inside the 10 touchdown. Could he be here? Yes and much more. The way the Lions knew he was their man and gave him a chance to do his thing in space, which is a smart thing and is why 2,000 yards was a possibility. Barry had a streak. of 14 consecutive games with more than 100 yards, it is really difficult to get two thousand yards. I wanted it, but I realized it's really difficult. Mitchell gets to Sanders and Sanders has some room to operate. Barry Sanders inside the 10 touchdown. Unbelievable, can he speed up Sanders again? shakes off another barry sanders scored his second of the day there he may have been a better runner but I've never seen him lead here sanders again sanders will score his third of the day it's absolutely incredible sanders gets the tie and room to roam Barry Sanders and there he makes a running race with Fuller and behind, Fuller caught it with Sanders on the tie, the longest run of the game and it's clear 40 30.

He gave it to Sanders and it took until the last play of the third quarter. but finally the curtain has risen on the barry sanders program sanders needs two for 2,000 and he's right about both, those are the linemen, they're the ones who wanted 2000, he didn't talk much about it, sanders is as modest as a superstar I've ever known. in the entire sport on second and eight, he receives the 53-yard line, the longest against the Jets defense all season, everything you teach him about the position, he just crumpled and threw a deep handoff to Mitchell. Berry and can't find room for the running back, there he goes up the middle 40 50. 40 Barry in a sprint 30 20.

Damn, they'll never catch you, touchdown lions, Barry Sanders and Barry is breaking it up the middle that timewhich got a big black field. from martin harry receives the call looking for space I have it for 40 on the right side 35 to 30. it is a foot race towards 2015 to 10. married to the five barry fills in the play of a tie they got a good block in front and then boom barry breaks a couple of tackles once he breaks those tackles it's over showing blitz in harris back off draw play for berry left of the 30. 35 40. off to the races 50 40 30. they never will get it 20 10 5 touchdown lions barry sanders how about that 73 yards for barry sanders today i am officially declaring my departure from the nfl the reason I am retiring is simple my desire to get out of the game is greater than my desire to stay in this , I just felt like I had run out of steam in that tenth year, I just felt like that was my time, that was it, I'd had enough, there's no doubt in any of our minds that Barry would have been it. -The leading runner in time was within striking distance of the record, it is a great record, but playing just for the record is something I did not have it in me to do, we have no images of his decline, he is leaving.

Behind the highlights there has not been a second Barry Sanders, there probably never will be, one day you will be able to say that I saw the best football running back of all time.
