@@olivergregg4326 True but Dickerson was on another level speed wise over Dorsett. Darrell running him down was far mor impressive in my opinion than the iconic rundown of Dorsett on Monday Night Football.
I went to the Hilton hotel, where all the teams stayed, to see him in Jersey, and they were kicking me out. I was only 17 and scared to death. But Dickerson just happened to be walking in with a friend, and all I wanted was his rookie poster signed. He told security that I was family and I can stay with him. NO SHIT. He signed the poster and we took a photo with my old 110 camera. Remember those???? But I just showed Dickerson the photo here in Vegas and he goes I remember you. You were just a kid and getting booted right??? How's that for a memory. He said I remember you because you also had my jersey and back then NO ONE bought jerseys. The guy is amazing, off and on the field. Semper Fidelis.
Jim Brown, Adrian Peterson, Marcus Allen, Gayle Sayers, OJ Simpson, Franco Harris,... Lots of HoF running backs at 6'1"+. Tony Dorsett was almost not a 1st round draft because he was considered "short" at 5'10 or 11". If the line can keep the RB's ankles clean till the hole, then a tall guy can get going downhill really fast. The problem for the tall kids is that they get started early at other positions.
Let's count the HoFers: Dorsett, White, Dickerson and Slater. Personally, I think Ellard and Walls had the requisite stats. In a lean HoF year, Walls 57 INTs could get him in as a Senior candidate. Compare Ellard's stats to contemporary WRs and he stands little to no chance. He would have had more TDs if a Pro-Bowl QB had been throwing to him, which was never the case.
kinda sad to watch a talented once in a lifetime back like Dickerson. if he plays today.... they ran him,(obviously). over, and over up the gut. in today's game... play-action+ jet sweeps... Eric be pissed.
The week after this game Rams traveled to Chicago to play the Bears. ED had just over 40 yards and the Bears 1985 defense handed them one of the two shut out games back to back (a record that still stands) on their way to win the Super Bowl.
He rams were foolish for not paying Eric what he deserved. Had he stayed in LA with a defense that was strong and underrated he gets probably Another 1800 yard season or two.
"Underrated" is the most overused term of all time. NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year , NFL Offensive Player of the Year, 5x 1st team All pro, 6x Pro Bowl, Rams retired his number, In the Colts Ring of Honor, 1980's All decade team, Member of the 100th Anniversary Team, Pro Football HOF member. How else would you like him to be recognized?
@@JW0143 Ask a casual football fan who Jim Brown, Walter Payton or Barry Sanders are. All of them will know those names. Ask a casual football fan who Eric Dickerson is and very few will recognize the name. Eric Dickerson deserves to be mentioned with those other 3, that's how he's underrated.
@@JW0143 Ask your wife who Walter Payton is. Then ask her who Eric Dickerson is. The fact that she won't know who ED is, is the reason he's underrated. His name should be household.
@@chriswells506 You're highly underestimating my wife's knowledge of the game, lol, but I get what you're trying to say. Perhaps underappreciated would be a better term because as far as how he's "rated" he's received a ton of love.
My buddy saw him in training camp one year, they were doing wind sprints w/ pads, no shirt...everybody ran by clack clack shoulder pads ...when Eric came by....... complete silence
Wow, as a Dallas Cowboys fan it was great to hear all the old player's names and see THE LEGENDARY TOM LANDRY on the sidelines. Also a huge fan of Dickerson since he went to SMU in Dallas and broke all kinds of NCAA records there as part of the Pony Express. Fun game to watch even if my Cowboys came out on the losing end.
The greatest running back ive ever seen. Barry Sanders, and Bo Jackson were unreal as well. I wish they all could have played more years. Emmit's records wouldnt still stand.
slower too, the further you go back the tougher it was, i watched an old 1950's playoff game with the giants, it seemed like every tackle ended with a collision, like the runner hit a brick wall. and you can't help but notice how much helmet to helmet contact there was, a couple times it made me cringe.
I was a teenager in the 70's . Played football little league thru high school kept up with watch college and Pro. In my opinion Eric Dickerson is the best overall running back I ever saw play he was unreal
It's too bad Dickerson never got to play in a spread version of the Don Coryell offense with a decent passing offensive to go with him . He would have had video numbers on rushing yards.
I used to be a huge Rams fan, and I remember the Eric Dickerson days vividly. It was Dickerson left, Dickerson right, Dickerson up the middle, which pretty much summed up the Rams offensive game.
I went to this game with my brother. Just before Dickerson broke the long TD run, one of the guys sitting behind us bet his buddy $1 that the Rams wouldn't get a 1st down on the possession. After the touchdown run my brother and I turned around and said "WELL?" He tried to claim that, technically, they didn't get a 1st down, to which I replied "That's because they couldn't catch him." He paid his buddy!
Thank you for posting this. I had no clue the ED was a great running back. I see people wearing his jersey every know and then in LA but up until now, I just didn't know. Thanks for putting me up on knowledge! Please accept this upvote!
Dickerson, like Marcus Allen, had that straight up, tall running style which made their full stride so gazelle-like. They always looked to be in slow motion, yet somehow faster than the defense, and they always seemed to be falling forward when tackled.
Nice to have the record but should have saved him at bit for the following week. I don't think he got even 50 yards against the '85 Bears in the NFC Championship.
Beady Redden number 30 was drafted the year before Dickerson out of Richmond, he was supposed the a number one tailback but ends up playing number two mainly a blocker for the great one
Am no Big LAR fan but Loved seeing #29 tote the punkin! So Smooth, So Effortless & he shifted to overdrive PDQ! Doubt if rhere'll be Any RB as Bad as Robo-Back...Eric Dickerson!
John Robinson, the Ram coach at the time kept telling Dickerson to run as fast as he could and Dickerson said he was running as fast as he could. I was gassing up my work truck in Chico California and I looked over at the next pump and there stood John Robinson putting gas in his car.True story.
In today s type of Defensive players which is being played due to the RPO Offensive schemes all NFL Teams using, the players are much faster but not as big or as strong as 2k defensive players, Eric Dickerson would of had 2 to 3 300 yard games and 3000 total yards if Dickerson played in todays type of football. Derrick Henry is the most like Dickerson but without the SPEED DICKERSON HAS and Henry gaining and running over Linebackers which are size of Safeties compared to 20th century type of players. Teams will be looking for more bigger RBs to use against today s MLBs that are built more for RPO type of RBs. Patriots use this type of running game of late and be doing more if Pats see opposing MLBs which can be runned over by bigger RBs if match ups favor these type of RUNS...
I think their speed is close, have you ever seen Derrick Henry run down from behind? In His career Dickerson's long was 85 yards in his rookie season. He never had a run longer than 66 yards the rest of his career. In Derrick Henry's career he has had runs of 99, 94, 76, 75, 74 so you could argue that he is actually a much more dangerous home run threat than Dickerson was.
6:44 "...and you're not going to catch this guy from behind." In the 1986 NFC Wild Card Game, Redskins HOF cornerback Darrell Green proved that there is at least one guy who can catch Dickerson from behind. Green chasing down Dickerson is the greatest display of pure speed that I have ever seen on the football field.
When I was in the military, I was stationed in Memphis, TN for training, and they used to play pre-recorded videotapes of SMU games on Sundays and I was like "Who Is This Guy?" Eric Dickerson, when he was at SMU, they called it "The Pony Express".
I’m a big Adrian Peterson fan but looking back, I’m glad he didn’t break Eric Dickerson’s record. This might be a single season record that stands the test of time.
E D had one of his best days ever !! Great running back. Better person !! Tony Dorsett was a quality running back. On the day: Dickerson had 248 yards rushing, Dorsett had 58 yards rushing. Seeing the punishment Dickerson took in this game alone: you understand why he had to sleep in a chair for over 3 years after he retired. Simply one of the greatest !!!
Overated! Hell he ran behind Jackie Slater and HC Robinson featured a strong run game! He might've set the NFL'S all time rushing record? But chased the $$$$$ and went to the Colts! Just crickets! Mike Singletary tattoo'd his ass in the playoffs and gave up the a few times! Ran to straight up! Couldn't get his like Sweetness could all those years running behind an inferior offensive line! Until the mid 80's!
You know Eric lit the Bears up for 126 yards and 2TDs in 83 in a win. He beat the Bears again in 84 with 2TDs and 149 yards. Payton didn't score or hit 100 yards in either of the two games. In the 85 playoff Eric had 46 yards and 2 fumbles on 17 carries while Walter had 18 carries for 32 yards and 1 fumble! In 86 the Rams kept Walter out of the end zone and under 100 yards again and Eric just ran for 111 yards in another win over the best defense of the decade supposedly. Even as a Colt in 88 Eric ran for a TD and 100 yards against Mike and the mighty Bears .
Dickerson in his prime, once he got his speed up & shoulders turned upfield was unstoppable. Watching that high hurdling style of running is special. No one, not Payton, Jim Brown, Emmitt Smith or Barry Sanders had the yards he had in his first few years in the league. This version of the NFL with dominant RBs, long running drives, minimum QB involvement is gone. No one will touch Dickerson’s early career marks.
I LOVED watching E.D run the ball. He tore up Dallas, and Dallas was stacking the Line. 8 man front. D.Brock the QB SUCKED X10 and if you really watch the game, he didn't know how to audilble to a pass play.. 8 man Fronts and E.D STILL TORE EM UP. REAL MAN FOOTBALL

Can't stand the broadcasts for old games. I want to know the score all the time, not twice per quarter.

Literally just lining up and blasting it. Sometimes simple football is the most beautiful.

One of the best ever. I loved watching him play , it was so unusual to see someone so tall play running back. He was so smooth.
Jim Brown, Adrian Peterson, Marcus Allen, Gayle Sayers, OJ Simpson, Franco Harris,... Lots of HoF running backs at 6'1"+.

Dickerson was an amazing running back.. tall, and graceful runner.......6'"3 and could run like a pronghorn..... fun to watch..
I watched this game live. The number of HOFers in this game is astounding.
Let's count the HoFers: Dorsett, White, Dickerson and Slater. Personally, I think Ellard and Walls had the requisite stats. In a lean HoF year, Walls 57 INTs could get him in as a Senior candidate.

John Robinson’s classic style. If he had a decent QB they would have been champs.
Eric never ran out of bounds. He always turned it upfield and took people on. His toughness is underrated.
Never missed a game until the hamstring injury in 1989, most years getting about 400 touches. That's durable.

Watch Randy White. Even when Dickerson is past him he still runs down the play. That's why he's a HOFer
I got to see big Dick play a lot back then growing up down the street from the stadium. I was 21 in '85.
He was a special back. No doubt about it. I was never a rams fan but damn this guy could run.
