AJ would block the end every time, not most of the time, every time.
Or something like that.
Both great guys.
Definitely a case of me being awe-struck hanging around with him. Couldn’t have been a nicer fella.
He’d play pool with his shirt off. Unreal physique.
As in, give it to Anthony Johnson and he'll move the chains.
I’d be happy to be proven wrong but in my memory he gained positive yards every single time he was handed the ball.
to the ground
He wasn't the fastest or most gifted athletically but a very physical runner and fundamentally as sound as you can get. Like you said an excellent blocker (a willing blocker) and excellent inside runner.
AJ played a prominent role. NBC kept showing the helpless Colorado sideline. Hard to believe it has been 30 years.
He was automatic on 3rd or 4th and short.
He would not be denied and delivered every single time.
He had a terrific game against Miami in 1988. Along with having some clutch theirs down runs, he recovered the onside kick Miami tried near the end of the game.
