Monday Football: February 22 features Eric Dickerson

Eric Dickerson is one of my favorite running backs of all time.Perhaps it was his straight up running style,his speed,and grace.It was all of those things and it was also that he was a SMU Mustang! Pony up !
Dickerson ran in the backfield with Craig James in the famed "Pony Express".A interesting footnote was that Dickerson was the back up to Charles Waggoner from Dallas Carter.Dickerson was promoted to start when Waggoner suffered a career ending injury,and the rest is history.

Dickerson played in the the NFL football for the Los Angeles Rams,Indianapolis Colts,Los Angeles Raiders,and the Atlanta Falcons.I can still remember Eric with those googles,and jerri curls,blasting for yards and touchdowns.

Dickerson gained 10,000 yards quicker than anyone in NFL History.Dickerson at the time of his retirement was the second leading rusher in NFL history.When Eric hit you,you really felt the pain.Eric Dickerson was placed where he belonged in the NFL Hall of Fame in 1999!
