So Lindsay is by many fans said to be overrated and one dimensional, I cant believe it man. A running back first job is to run and break tackles and get yards. thats how he made the pro bowl with us before we did him dirty, Now i see revisionist history saying he was one dimensional and we let him go at the right time, imo we could have kept him a couple more years.
I hate the fact that hes criticized for not being a recieving threat or blocking, who tf cares for a running back lol, look how good Gordon was at receiving and blocking, yet he sucked at getting good yardage and fumbling, in the end thats the most important aspect of the game. But everyone agrees gordon sucks and refuses to give Lindsay his flowers.
Lindsay should have been on the team instead of him man hes a hero for us.
Because he fucking was lol
anybody who understands football…
If a running back can only run the ball, you know it’s going to be a run when he’s on the field
If a running back can also catch the ball, you have to be prepared for a pass or a run
If a running back can ALSO block a pass rusher, you’ve just wasted a defender in coverage or negated a blitzer
Phillip Lindsay had feet for hands and blocked like tinkerbell. People say he was one dimensional because he was one dimensional. Opposing defenses knew it was a run when he was on the field because he was a liability in the passing game.
