khwiii Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I think Lorenzo Neal was probably the best of the bunch, but only spent 2 years with the team. Alexander gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I debated whether or not to include Neal since he was only a 2 year guy and not a draft pick, but he was just too good to leave out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyAnderson Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Same here about Lorenzo Neal. Looked it up a couple of years ago, and as much as I loathe Wikipedia as a resource for academic papers, the site states that Neal, " blocked for a 1,000+ yard running back in eleven straight seasons from 1997 to 2007. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Where's Peko?! +1 for Neal. It's a shame that Eddie George, Dillon, & Tomlinson will probably all make the Hall before he does when he literally cleared the path to some of their best seasons. Gotta mention JJ as well - all the tools but seemed to lack the motivation. Being in a pass-wacky offense didn't help, either. He & Rudi were sure fun to watch, even as it was frustrating to see a smashmouth running game benched on a crucial 3rd & short in favor of a shovel pass to Kenny Watson. Still rustles my jimmies that they let Brat back in the building. Total pity hire. Hewitt's story is still being written but I like his chances. Definitely noticed when he wasn't out there.

Everyone remembers the Freezer Bowl but how about the game before that that got us to the Freezer Bowl and beyond? The other team did not prepare for Charles Alexander to run the ball and he had a great day. Lorenzo Neal was a Rent-a-Back who was here for a couple years and moved on to somewhere else. Alexander should be a runaway with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I will go ahead and call this for Neal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleEarl Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 This is where Pete Johnson belongs. He spent most of the time as the first back through in 2 back sets. Alexander was usually the tail back. Check out some cool old footage of 1981 if you want some proof. 64 touchdowns don't lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Pete was never really a blocker though. He was a running FB and had the most carries on the team every year (or just about). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
