Menudo 103 Posted December 12, 2008 He is only a Freshman and this was in the playoffs. Pretty nice run, but, that LB hung with him for a while. Perhaps he doesn't have his Dad's jets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Holliday 0 Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Barry was more quick than fast. he got ran down many many times on my Lions. it was his side to side movement that made him so special. if the kid has half the footwork his dad had we will be seeing him in the pros. 1 thing I noticed brother Menudo is he celebrated more on that run than Barry did in his whole career.interested in watching him get older and seeing how he pans out as that was a fine run.

Seahawks21 86 Posted December 12, 2008 saw this the other day. I was hoping he would be about a foot shorter and a foot thicker, but just the name enough does it for me. I wish it was legal to draft HS players in my local dynasty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a good observation Doc. I didn't notice that the first time I watched it, and that was one of my favorite things about his dad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunday Couch Potatoe 480 Posted December 13, 2008 Joe Montana's kid is chuckin Long TDs here in the bay area at De LaSalle High School. Same school Amani Toomer and D.J. Williams went to. Be cool to see Montana to Sanders in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seahawks21 86 Posted December 13, 2008 That is a good observation Doc. I didn't notice that the first time I watched it, and that was one of my favorite things about his dad. Not a reasonable argument IMO. We're talking about a 14 year old kid. 14 year old kids are supposed to get excited from time to time. I would be willing to bet money that Barry Sanders celebrated his butt off at 14 as well. He isn't old enough to have learned anything about respect for the game.

Be cool to see Montana to Sanders in the future. Not this year...Montana's kid (Nick) transferred to a school in Southern California (Oaks Christian) because he wasn't getting much playing time at De LaSalle...I believe he is at the same school and on the same football team as Wayne Gretzky's son (Trevor) and Will Smith's son (Trey) . http://highschool.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=875567 KO'd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seahawks21 86 Posted December 13, 2008 All I'm saying about the celebration is that it was a sick play, and he's a 14 year old kid, most of which are rather exciteable. Besides, how many of us were listening to our dad at 14? If anything, he would celebrate simply because his father told him not to! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, how many of us were listening to our dad at 14? If anything, he would celebrate simply because his father told him not to! Agreed - he was only 14 and one other thing. His Dad is conisdered one of the all-time best running backs. People probably expect him to do that every play. Imagine the burden of comparison when your Dad was the most elusive runner of all time.

mbarton11 0 Posted December 14, 2008 I was on the sidelines for one of his games, he is very good. The team he plays on is loaded and he really does not get the ball that often. He only got 6-8 touches the entire game when we played them.. He broke one late in the 4th quarter for a 50 yard TD though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loyalboyd 0 Posted December 14, 2008 Is it me or is he huge. Look like a Lineman or LB more than a RB. He is tall and built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
