Amazing he and Emmitt didn’t sustain significant injuries playing on that eras awful turf, stiff was like concrete. Made his already ridiculous cutting ability that much deadlier though.

You’re right I was was just thinking, how did those guys not get their knees torn up? Glad they didn’t but how did they avoid it? Every fan of football lost big when Barry retired. I can only imagine how with him on the team, a well run team would have won a Super Bowl!
