Starts a game with - yards and runs backwards, but still will dominate and be great

Re: Spiller=Sanders
I have to agree at this point. As much as I'm excited about him, and my other thread should show that, I cant equate him with much of anything yet.Originally posted by BidsJr
Spiller has to show he can go against #1 defenses week in and week out and still rack up the yards before I will believe he can be great. I think its true now, but I have to see more proof. I can see the arguments that he is our version of Reggie Bush. He needs to show he is durable enough to earn the starting job and then excel as a starter.

Re: Spiller=Sanders
Barry Sanders was the best running back that set foot on this planet. That said Reggie Bush is no CJ Spiller."Well I drink too much and get punched in the head by fighters for fun, so my memory isn't so great." -OpIv37Comment

The styles are really not even that close. Sorry."Well I drink too much and get punched in the head by fighters for fun, so my memory isn't so great." -OpIv37Comment

Re: Spiller=Sanders
I love Spiller BTW, and think he could be super special. But lets not get out of hand. He has 20 or so preseason carries."Well I drink too much and get punched in the head by fighters for fun, so my memory isn't so great." -OpIv37Comment

Breakdown the differences in styles between the two if you would. I think you're on to something.

Barry had better balance and vision. His center of gravity was better also, ala Emmitt Smith. Build was a bit better for inside running. That guys thighs were as big around as Aaron Maybins waist. Now what is similar between Sanders and Spiller is the acceleration from stopped to full speed. They have similar acceleration but Spiller has the better top end speed making him lethal in the open field.

Re: Spiller=Sanders
Heres where I think they differ.Originally posted by BidsJr
Sanders had incredible moves, he could keep any defender from getting a firm grip on him. It came from playing flag football as a kid. He was able to juke and move so that the defenders couldnt ever get close enough to tackle him.
Spiller doesn't have that level of elusiveness to me.
I think he has blazing speed and great change of direction which can leave many players looking for their shoes. But, he wont have the vision of Barry and wont work his way through 3 or 4 tacklers as he breaks off a long run. I think Spiller is different because he will get outside or behind the line and will burn the rest of the defenders with his speed.

Spiller though could make up for that as a reciever. Which Barry was never really utilized as.
