The best of the best bammas did it all by effort and tryin real, real, real hard.
Earl was just massive and big and nasty, overpowered people
That's not really bama-lite
That's just being better than everyone
Walter Payton was a much bigger bamma, for example

Trust me
He had zero natural talent
He was a devastating blocker (one of the best blocking tailbacks EVER..he used to detonate blitzers)
Ran HARD as HELL
He actually won over the Chicago brass, which is impossible given who he followed
He was a HUGE bamma

Loved him for it
And his SAT score was higher than entire starting secondaries on most teams
Watching him routinely offend the black race improved my life, made me get better and stronger

2104635, That whole program is sorta bamma Posted by MothershipConnection, Sun Jan-06-13 10:51 PM
It will never cease to amuse me that the nerdiest program in the conference is now the team that wants to beat you up and run you over on the field. Even their QBs run you over and smile. It's like they purposely recruit guys with the biggest nerd rage like "Oh, they made fun of you for going to Math Club? Come here Tyler, show Twan what you really think of him"

carry no matter the situation. Wasn't the biggest, fastest, or strongest player, but he brought the wood every play.
There was a runningback for the Skins a few years back that would fit this description perfectly. He never really had a breakout season or stood out - just ran hard as fuck. I think it was Rock Cartwright, but I may have him mixed up with someone else. I just remember dude was always ran like it was his last carry ever.

Best Lions RB since Barry, which is tragic. DIdn't realize his career ended like this though:
According to Coy Wire, Stewart's injury occurred because of a bounty system established by then Buffalo Bills head coach Gregg Williams. Coy Wire stated "I shattered James Stewart's shoulder and he never played again. I was showered with praise for that. It's a shame that's how it was. Now I see how wrong that was." (Buffalo News (3/4/2012).
|
2104817, RE: James Stewart Posted by Ceej, Mon Jan-07-13 09:15 AM
Though the Bills were at that time coached by Gregg Williams, Wire insists the "pay-for-play pool" was solely player-driven.

But once he was cut by the Giants and it came down to him making the Raiders over Rashaan Salaam? Started trying EXTRA hard for those yards.

They get workout warriors who underachieved and were anti-bammas but want a new lease on life
The Raiders will take you as long as you are fast, so they get there tryna real hard to stay in the league and eat
Charlie Garner -- actually was a fine back, but was a little scatback posing as a feature back. Plus he was kinda a knucklhead ass nigga...perfect for the Raiders
Justin Vargas -- He was actually a huge underchiever at USC who timed well pre-draft and the Raiders liked him for that reason.
Wheatley -- HUGE underachiever with the Giants. Couldn't break a tackle from a middle school safety. Got with the Raiders, was tryna eat
Dickerson too...was such an enormous dick nobody wanted that nigga towards the end...he was trying real real hard at the end

2105072, Sheeeit. Keyshawn was one of the biggest bammas ever Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Jan-07-13 02:37 PM
He is among the best blocking wide receivers ever, literally every coach has said it
And he ran over the middle, took hits the whole nine
Was a GREAT possession receiver
Keyshawn is one of those guys whose game didn't match his personality
Because he was a primadonna off the field, we never quite appreciated what he did on it
He was a physical, tough as nails receiver who worked hard as hell and blocked
He was never really a huge gamebreaker but still put together a fabulous career

2105091, here's my question: was Ricky a bamma play-wise? Posted by magilla vanilla, Mon Jan-07-13 02:52 PM
Because dude did put up a fight on the field. I think he's in the Keyshawn Johnson "non-bamma-personality bammas" team.

2105100, My definition of bamma controls for talent Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Jan-07-13 02:56 PM
A lot of the guys listed aren't really bammas by my definition
Like Earl Campbell? Eh. Of course he had some bamma characteristics, but he was literally never outmatched on a field. He can't be a bamma if he's never had to TRY REAL REAL hard to get yards. Earl just had to show up
Okoye was also definitely not a bamma. He was a a massive, scary fast nigga
Alstott wasn't even much of a bamma. He was strong and a very good athlete
Now, some great players like Adrian Petersen are DEFINITELY still bammas, even with the natural ability
But Ricky Williams? He was just a naturally gifted back
He certainly had some bamma
He also had some anti-bamma too

2105156, I think a true bamma needs to TRY REAL HARD else they don't make it Posted by MothershipConnection, Mon Jan-07-13 03:30 PM
Adrian Peterson (the one who went to Oklahoma) definitely has some bamma to the way he runs, but if he ran like Ryan Matthews, he's still in the NFL. He's half as good, but he's still in the league. Same Earl Campbell and a lot of these guys.
But even though Marshawn Lynch has talent (1st round pick after all), he's probably out the league after his rookie contract if he ran like Beanie Wells, not the guy having a career year 7 years into the league. Marion Barber is 3rd string back at Minnesota if he doesn't run like a bamma. Toby Gerhart is a shitty receiving fullback at Stanford if he's not a bamma.

2106077, that's a totally fair point Posted by magilla vanilla, Tue Jan-08-13 10:45 AM
I guess this SHOULD be a similar list to the Goon Running Back of the Week award that KB does on the FS Podcast. And you're right, Ricky would never qualify for that. Nor would Okoye have.

Besides having a great name,dude had no talent.Just ran hard as shit. Then he got paid a bit and quit.

2106203, Now that I think of it ....new orleans era Reggie Bush Posted by JAESCOTT777, Tue Jan-08-13 11:56 AM
Yeah he ran a 4.3 But he ran hard as SHIT like he ran a 4.7
Had no patience awareness or vision whatsoever Just got the handoff and ran as hard as he could to the hole
Worked out sometimes Mostly didn't
He probably doesn't qualify cause with that much speed He would have made it anyway But he ran like a bamma
|
2106215, You can't be a bamma if you get knocked backwards on every carry Posted by Orbit_Established, Tue Jan-08-13 12:01 PM
He tried but his efforts went nowhere
He's more of an anti-bamma
Him and Cadillac are about the same size, actually. Look at how they ran...no comparison
Cadillac was a supreme bamma lil nigga
