they were pro bowlers because of Barry, put a back lesser back than Barry behind that line and we never hear of those linemen

The run at 1:20 is one of the greatest sports plays you'll ever see.

Damn I could watch these highlights all day. It's almost like I forgot how amazing this dude was. 
nikkas always say that shyt..but the lions line was underrated as fukk...lions line was good enough to get barry 1000+ yds rushin from his rookie yr to his final season..
that helped him get 2000 yds
good as smith line was..where is emmitts 2000 season...
why barry avg shyts on emmitt...when e had a better line...barry has nuthin under 4.3
now the line was shyt when it cames to pass rush... but when it came to the running game..they blocked enough to keep barrys avg 4.3 n up n continue his
1000 yard a season streak goin
barry's avg yds per game is 99.8 vs emmitts 81.2
barry based on his stats woulda had a 1000 season his entire career...had he continued
no other running back could do wha he did with that line but barry.. bet nobody can prove me wrong...barry was gettin 1000yds from the gate...

This man is the reason I started watching football as a kid. I remember him running track and field every time they played Tampa Bay.

Damn i miss watching him play
The hits that used to happen in these HS football games when a cat thought he was slick and tried to do a Barry-like spin move.
And it's also a shame that everyone has to use his name to slander everyone else when it comes to celebrations, like posted above. He didn't like to celebrate touchdowns, that's cool. I liked that because that was him. Let the dancing guys be themselves, too. Using him to put down others was one of the worst things that became the legacy of his career.

Nah...their O-Line was decent in Barry's earlier years and declined. Their main problem was they never had a QUARTERBACK.
Rodney Peete, Andre Ware, and Scott Mitchell (he was kinda tanned) kept Black Quarterbacks from getting their football civil rights for years...
EDIT: My bad, I see wreckshop got that...

Just keep my rep red
@ 6:10 and every single run after that..

This was his 2000 yard season.
Notice how when he had a FB that year there was no more losing yards and dancing to get away from defenders or trying to outrun a million defensive backs being in that gimmick ass Wayne Fontes ass offense.
It was this season that he started finishing his runs and stopped getting caught from behind because there were less DBs on the field for him to outrun.
I never get why people STILL bring up the negative yards thing. He played in a dumb ass offense most of his career.
had Barry had a better coach, he would have had more 2000 yard seasons.

Still remember the day when Sanders came out of nowhere and retired.
