Off top running backs mattered in 1994 Eric Dickerson retired Emmett Smith held out from the Cowboys

They went 0 and 2 he showed up. They went on to win the Super Bowl

A simpler time play the music. This is the Dominique Foxworth Show

All right Charlie. I don't know why we need to talk about running backs, but it's just important

to remember that they were good. Steve Young won the MVP that year. Steve Young, that's my

uh, that's my early Caleb Williams comp for the record. Um, but cross racial impressive.

Is Eric Dickerson have the best running back aesthetic ever?

Is his aesthetic is great in the same way that the number zero is great. Yeah.

It's like no one's done it before. And you can pull it off. Yeah, because any of those things,

if I told you, hey, you know what, we're gonna give you a little collar, some Rex Bex,

and a Jerry curl in 29 and in the number 29. You would say that person is going to look a mess

in their uniform, but Eric Dickerson pulled it off. You jable pads crop top with the cowboy collar.

And he ran totally upright. The totally upright running made it look like he was just gliding

at all times. We had my pop warner team. We had a kid named Al who wore Rex Bex and we called him

Eric Dickerson as a joke. He wasn't very good. His day was a coach too. Al, it could be a lot worse

than have been called Eric Dickerson as the joke. Yeah, it was, yeah, it was, it was mock,

it was clearly mocking, but yeah, he didn't have the Jerry curl, fortunately,

poor Eric. Now he's bald. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if the Jerry curl has something to do with that.

I don't know. Football is coming this weekend. What you want to talk about?

Okay, we have to talk about the number one. So we're going to be joined by Wazie Lambray

and a little bit later in the Rosenthal Thorns. We'll talk with Damie Lloyd,

Tray and the Jets, but we have to talk about the best game of the weekend.
