NFL Films: See How They Run (1989)

[Music] hi i'm steve sable and this program is about the most distinctive skill in the game of football and that's the ability to run with the ball now take a group of men give them a goal any goal to aim for and each will have a different idea how to get there and so it is with pro football's running backs each one has a style as distinctive as his signature now the runner whose style that i most admire was hugh mcelhoney who played for the 49ers in the 1950s and he once told me a story about a dark alley that he had to pass through as a child to go to the store for his mother he'd run through it as fast as he could afraid of the dark places that he couldn't see and he later likened that experience to running with a football in the nfl all the great backs seem to have their own alleys of fear and what we remember about them is their distinct ways of getting through them it sort of like the snowflake the effect because each one is different but yet and still if you look at them from a distance they all look the same but then when you start to look closer then you see that the designs and determination and their desires are totally different i think that's what makes it up all runners follow the same path but the great ones leave different footprints they are unique and come in all sizes shapes and styles the great runners um attacked the tackler they come at him uh challenge him right on and then seem to make him miss almost in the narrowest possible way almost like a bull fighter letting the bull go by in the narrowest margin the great ones come at you looks like they're going to take you right on and kind of widen their feet and then go right by you and go by you so close that that you can reach out and touch them but you just can't the gifted runner creates space where there is none turning snarled rush hour traffic into high-speed expressways [Music] when a guy runs a football does he finish the run i mean does he get every single positive yard that he can out of the run defenses try to intimidate running backs and they do that by not only one guy hitting him but they try to pile on and get him before he's down to the ground or as he's going down and try to get the extra two or three hits on him so the determination and the heart of the back for the 60 minute game i think is absolutely vital there's not too many running backs who wants to take a good shot they keep coming back and that's that's my mark of a good running back take their best and keep coming back for more great runs result from either pure will and determination or transcendent physical talent it is the difference between using a bludgeon or a magic wand the thing about the back though if they can make generally on long runs they've had to make somebody miss because everybody can't be blocked in the open field they have to have the ability to to avoid a man and then run away from him or simply make a guy miss [Music] he doesn't run 70 odds for a touchdown he runs maybe 170 yards for a touchdown now he's got that great vision as he sees the field the defense breaks down maybe in one area now he goes back against the grain and it's that area against the defense's pursuit where the big home run is hit [Music] the ability that they had was they were able not only to see they were able to change direction they were able on a dime to re-accelerate [Music] see it's the re-acceleration you are able to make a separation and then once they make the separation they're running north and south and they're in the end zone [Music] my first year and it was the last game of the year we were playing uh the uh new orleans saints i started out to my right got mixed up we went back to the left and went back to the right and then i said well i got a story going forward the grade runners want badly to to run the football they want the ball they're angry when you don't give them the footballs they all have different styles running back is the most instinctive position in football the only one in which a rookie can step in and be an instant success and it's a position that has attracted a whole character actors guild of different personalities shapes sizes and skills now the eight men who are featured in this film have only one thing in common they're all great ball carriers but each achieved stardom and expressed his talent in his own unique way let's see how they did it let's see how they run in four years at the university of pittsburgh tony dorsett as he was known back then rushed for more yardage than any man in college football history in 1976 he won the heisman trophy and led pittsburgh to a national championship and yet the list of luminaries who came to visit him on the university of pittsburgh campus discovered he was undergoing an identity crisis me and tony doris said they started calling me td for tony d and for a touchdown with your tony dorsett i thought it was tony dorsett well i've changed it to tony dorsett you know a few months back i've i ran into this young man he was calling my name he was speaking to me as tony dorsett and i liked it and anyway dora said it's supposed to be a french name and sct spells set and not sit so i think that is the correct pronunciation fittingly america's best ever collegiate running back was the top draft choice of america's team i told him that all the names came out that uh he wanted to be called anthony dorsett and i said well when i won a heisman trophy i wanted to be called roger stobach but they didn't go along with that in the navy but he's he's been kids a lot about about certain things but he's he's a fine you know he's a fine guy and he's a great athlete so it's it's worked out very well so far and when he once he starts gaining the yardage it's going to work out a lot better as a rookie he didn't break into the starting lineup until the 10th week of the season yet he still managed to establish an assortment of team rushing records with a style destined to make him the game's second all-time leading rusher a big play guy the kind of guys you'll get down in there and get down in there and then boom 40 yards 50 yards he kind of slips and slides and then when he sees it he's gone he's got that kind of acceleration surprisingly enough he's a better north south runner than he is east west runner he has great feel and recognition when he heads into the line as an inside runner but you don't think about him being on your side rather because he only weighs 190 pounds but it's his great acceleration and speed that makes him what he is today i've got a real unique view of him as a running back i mean a literal view from the football field that not many people get to see i see him hitting the holes and i see the holes opening and closing and i see the kind of adjustments he makes i might be able to make the same adjustment mentally to do it physically and to be able to combine the two as a tremendous gift and tony's got that blessed with all the physical tools tony dorsett still feels the secret of his success is not his foot speed or his agile open field moves to dorsett success begins with the primary senses without which all the training and coaching in the world are pointless if you ever watch me play you'll see when i get a ball my eyes they light up like silver dollars and i'm just looking at everything and i do see a lot out there running the football is is instinctive it's all creative it's all impromptu and things are happening very very quick and my vision helped me i think survived in the nfl yet some have questioned where dorset's vision leads him the line on him is the fact that somewhat the same line they had on the frank o'hare for so long is that when he got close to the sideline he'd run out of bounds i think that's kind of a bad rap because tony is a powerful runner and he knows when to take a shot and when not to and he's not the kind of runner that's going to run over anybody really but he breaks a lot of tackles we've hit him i think about as hard as you can hit him and he keeps coming back you know he keeps saying well some guys well we're going to knock these guys out of there but hey you can't knock him out he's going to come back the next play and may beat you on the very next play he's history against tesla's man he's stopping me stopping you stopping you stop and then boom he's gone for 40 or 50. i'm not a bulldog type of runner i didn't come into this business being a bulldog type around i'm a runner that you your grandmother someone else could probably enjoy watching because something exciting is possible to happen at any time on the field the things that i do the god-given talents that i have i think people kind of take them for granted you know people kind of say well that's that's just dorset you know that's just his way of doing things and i think probably over the years i've just been taken for granted an interesting observation from a man who often leaves entire teams of tacklers floundering in his wake but when it was first at 99 the cowboys always knew they were in scoring position there's a certain magic surrounding texas stadium for 11 seasons the man who basked in its spotlight was tony dorsett when you look back on and see tony dorsett's name at the top of every running list that was ever compiled you'll realize how how great a running back he really was to see how he runs is to know that tony dorsett is truly one of the greatest running backs ever to play pro football [Music] the transamerica building gives san francisco's skyline class and style the hurdling high kicking knees mark the distinctive style of roger craig the serpentine s-turns of famed lombard street pale in comparison to the crisscross cutbacks of number 33. cable cars carry visitors up market street to take in the view and it is roger craig who drives his 49ers to pro football's summit first [Applause] down [Music] brilliant year tremendous intensity tremendous in termination great enthusiasm for the game of football cares so much for all the people around him he's one of the great people in the league and to me the most valuable player i met with bill after the last game against minnesota in the playoffs and he said i was going to be his half back for the 1988 season i wanted to lose 15 pounds i i was wearing 225 at the time and i came in at 210 and that really helped my speed and my endurance and most of all my conditioning part so mentally when i came to the season i was prepared and ready to be ready for the punishment and just carry on a halfback roger is a very fun running back for an offensive line to block for and a lot of his highlights haven't come on plays where the defensive 11 has been knocked on their rear ends i mean it's come where he's basically run through about nine of the eleven and then oh four or five of those nine have gotten another shot at him again the second time around and have attack them massages soothe the welts on his back and chiropractors straighten his ravaged body after sunday's heroics there's a drop the middle to craig and he breaks loose and runs loose he gets used at the 30 to the 25. [Applause] what makes roger craig so special is is his heart he plays as if he has a heart of a lion to me when a person exudes that on the football field you have to watch that you want to see that he'll knock you out with the knees he kicks him so high man i tell you i hate to come off the block trying to hit him i never i've never hit him in his legs and i never will but i hit him in his chest i'll hit him around his neck i'll hit him in his head but i'll never hit him in his legs because he has those knees up so high you can hurt yourself you put your head down there he can rip your head backwards [Music] craig is arguably the most versatile back in the game and each season he sets his sights on a thousand yards receiving and a thousand yards rushing craig relentless and resourceful to see him run is to see someone special in need kettle falls washington is a country mile from the bright lights and big cities of the nfl it is the home of richard post a man who happily traded in his cleats for horseshoes there's a real art form for the chewing itself you can take an animal that really is not sound and make that horse after you're done with it walk off good well there's really a satisfaction with it twenty years ago cowboy richard post was cool dickie post a mod hipster who stood at the center of san diego's grooviest scene on this shirt in particular i just i dug it when we got it what six months ago whatever it was a year ago people just love wearing that type of thing it's just a good funky looks it's just a neat funky shirt in the funky late 60s players were not a stylish lot except for this baby-faced runner with a little boy's name i was born born richard imposed and the dick is just short for richard and that that fit the style of being a little small running back dicky post kind of had a ring to it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there was a period there at the beginning of artificial turf where i remember specifically looking for guys with a very light feet could kind of float around he was one of those until he planted the foot had to go from here to here and then back by the time i was step step and a half i was almost full speed you're already at top form and then you're starting to look wherever the daylight is the open field was the open seas for dickie post and he charted courses only he could navigate if i saw daylight well and that's pretty much where i took it we'd have of course the place designed to go either left or right or wherever was going around in was our was a better one for me the end sweeps i was more of a nervous runner paranoid probably it's it's not a style that anybody would want to copy if you can find somebody else it worked for me it consumed so much energy by the by the half i was totally exhausted but it was post who left tacklers gasping and fans gaping he was called a water bug and he skittered across nfl ponds his stumpy churning legs making him appear twice as fast as anyone on the [Music] field [Music] it seemed the hounds would never catch this hair but they began to nip at his heels then took bites out of his legs the guy that was an instinct of running back the way that i was you've got to rely on your instincts and what i found was starting to happen was that my everything would go towards where i thought would go except my body towards the cut or the opening or whatever was there and the old body just refused to go there was so much pain involved in it that and i knew you know the writing was on the wall and so that was that was pretty much the end of my career although you'll not find dickie post's name on best ever lists or in the nfl record book his running style was as distinctive and his runs were as spectacular as any player in pro football history post distance himself from pro football faster than the outran defenders finding more fulfillment away from the field than on it live as comfortable as we can take care of business and raise our little boy cory and just try to enjoy it try not to get in too big of a hurry just just enjoy life [Music] in the mid-60s the cleveland browns appeared to strengthen their kick returning when head coach blanton collier selected leroy kelly in the nfl draft this funny story about leroy kelly in 64 he come in as a seventh-round draft choice i think for morgan state and he's supposed to be able to run a nine four nine five hundred and no one could understand why he wasn't doing this in exhibition season he didn't tell anybody he too pulled hamstrings and when they got corrected i think the first time he felt good he that year he became a great punt return kelly may have kept quiet about his injuries but his special team heroics were hardly a secret in 1964 he averaged an astonishing 19 yards per return as the browns rolled to the nfl championship a year later kelly led the league in punt returns but despite his obvious talent there was simply no chance he would ever crack the starting lineup [Music] kelly was doomed to ride the bench because the man ahead of him on the depth chart happened to be the greatest running back of all time the legendary jim brown [Music] but in 1966 brown shocked the football world when he announced his retirement leroy kelly's time had finally come when jim brown decided to stay in europe and make a movie instead of coming back to training camp i talked to doug jones who was backfield coach and a very prominent player with the browns in the early part of the team and he said aren't you really worried about the offense this year and he said no he said leroy kelly is going to be a great back in this league and it turned out he was he gained over a thousand yards that year i was pleased to get the opportunity to play and it was fortunate for me that jim retired you know at a early age in his life and it gave me the opportunity and uh i didn't feel that much pressure i just felt i was capable of doing the job and i did it kelly proceeded to lead the ground-oriented browns in rushing for the next seven years he averaged nearly five yards per carry scored 60 touchdowns and rushed for over 7 000 career yards leroy was the type of running back that he had the speed and the agility to fake you out and make you look awful bad but he also had the power to run you over so coming up from a defensive back standpoint he was really a tough runner because you couldn't afford to get into him real hard because he would fake you out so you kind of had to take a lot of the blows i think he meant a lot to that cleveland brown team at the time we knew when we played him he was going to carry the ball 25 30 times a game and we just tried to keep him from having any long runs because he would automatically get 100 yards a game if he didn't if he didn't really control it i think the thing that leroy had as a player was his ability to hit a hole extremely quick probably as quick as any running back that i can remember he could get out of his stance real quick hit the hole so fast that he was hitting the hole as it was opening he might have only had a foot of daylight but as he went into it the whole open wider and he would pop through those things and he had the quickness and the speed to run away from people when once he got into the secondary i wanted the ball i think most backs want to carry the ball 20 25 times a game and i think i did a lot of things well catching the ball blocking and running you know and occasionally i threw the pass for a touchdowns too [Music] there was nothing that leroy kelly could not accomplish on the football field where kelly fell short was in the ability to brag about himself leroy kelly was a quiet man who just did his job and i don't think he's received enough notoriety that's one of the all-time great runners he was just a quiet person he was not never sit very much in the huddle but you could tell when you got in the huddle it's just like you would never say it you know i want the ball and i'm going to do something with it although some fans today may not remember kelly's talents leroy's opponents have much clearer memories back in the days of the great cleveland brown teams it was just pleasure to play against people like that with great talent use your skills against their skills but i really admire leroy kelly and his ability to run with the football today the still modest kelly is more willing to speak of his achievements i think that statistically you know i feel that i should be in the hall of fame and it's just a matter of time whoever does the voting system at a time kelly a quiet man who replaced a legend and in so doing became a legend himself the rams are closing in and here comes the topper john arnett has the ball and naria packer can apply the stopper jaguar john opens the jets and speeds away on a 68-yard play this ties the score at 24 and you can bet green bay will not forget mr john arnett john played at usc when i was in college and john had the had a great jitterbug type of talent he could make you miss in a dramatic fashion he didn't get the football the way that the great tailbacks have gotten it now down through the years where he could be a great option runner he got it in close to the line of scrimmage where it was probably more difficult for him to use this skill but he probably had what i call the marcus allen kurt warner type of skill is at the highest level and uh just a magnificent athlete but john arnett was definitely one of those kind of packs where many times he used the whole field the ideal situation is a straight line runner but john arnett would probably take a around the full course trip to the goal line i mean he would run from sideline to sideline many times on a flight it's always good at dodgeball and all those games you played when when you're young i think it's just something that you do out of instinct there are a lot of average backs that have to think about and you can ask them why they cut and they said well i planted my foot and i saw the guy coming you asked the great backs they don't even remember it you know they just cut because they saw somebody and they cut and i think a style is something that's you i think a lot of my characteristics came from being a gymnast from the time i was in the fourth or fifth grade at tumblr and so i guess a lot of those style was balance balance and some speed a number one draft choice in 1957 the versatile arnett never really became a full-time player in the pros but as a flanker running back and return man he established himself as one of the most spectacular spot performers of all time [Music] he was known as the jaguar a tag that seemed appropriate to his sleek running style but the nickname evolved from a totally different breed of feline they nicknamed me the cat not for the way i run a lot of people think it was because i ran that way but i was named the cat when i was in high school because i could get in the car and go to sleep you know wherever we went i put my head down go to sleep it was actually a promotion-minded la sportscaster who suggested that if the cat became the jaguar arnett might get a free car from the british auto manufacturer john never got the car but when he merged into the fast lane to the football field he drove opponents crazy in a 1958 contest against the bears at the coliseum arnett enjoyed his finest day as a pro when his receiving running and return skills netted 298 combined yards [Music] yet amazingly arnett never scored a touchdown in the game something that was duly noted by a man he would eventually play for bears coach george hallas i think i returned to punt 80 or 90 yards and the screen pass 80 yards and from the line of scrimmage i've had his 80 yard run and didn't score on any up we got caught in the two three four yard line and i was with the bears later i was always coming in around 205 pounds and he wanted me to play 198 and he finds you if you don't and i told him i said you know when i played with the rams against you i was winning 205 pounds he said yeah we should never scored the jaguar may not have impressed papa bear but in the nfl jungle he was a top cat who was voted to five straight pro bowls [Music] jaguar john arnett when fans saw how he ran they saw one of the most breathtaking broken field runners to ever play the [Music] game [Music] [Applause] lenny moore had a unique capacity for seeing things that other runners were unable to see he had the equivalent of what the military calls night vision and he moved with such effortless grace and nonchalance that even his own teammates were in awe of his talent he was my inspiration he was a idol almost to me because i used to look forward to going to practice to watch him run he was so smooth he could lay his feet down and walk on eggs without breaking them and he would stop on a dime he would set the blocker up for you as a runner he had to be one of the most fluid coordinated uh he probably had the sixth sense anytime somebody get close to him he just knew how to cut and fluid he was like a symphony on the football field every time lenny moore was given the ball it was the beginning of a unique adventure a classic in cleats [Music] so [Music] lenny moore was probably pound for pound the best offensive weapon scoring weapon that i've ever seen plus lenny moore was a a real team player he's a humble guy lenny learned the true meaning of humility from his mother who worked as a housemaid while he attended school i remember one day when i was at penn state i came home and i rode up together and i parked the car and of course inside here said oh wow you know mom's you know scrubbing floors and you know whatever you know went up and wrapped on the door and the lady came to the door i said as i've come to see mrs moore i said i'm her son oh you must be lenny you know you're home from school i said yes okay fine i'll get her and boy something went through me and i'll never forget it as long as i live i got in that car and i prayed to god i said lord if you ever make it possible for me to do anything that my mother will never scrub another floor and i cried for and then she came out you know and i straightened myself out [Music] lenny's desire to succeed resulted in many great plays but none as memorable as this catch against the detroit life [Music] i felt a glow come over my body and it's hard to describe and it was a good lord and glow came over my body i dove that ball stuck and i pulled the ball to my stomach as i slid into the end zone you know through the end zone that wasn't me that wasn't me after five years as an all-pro lenny's glow of success faded into the shadows of complacency his instant fame had dulled his desire and softened his will to work his play was marred by fumbles mistakes and poorly run past patents [Music] you know lenny was a great talent and natural he never had had to work much for it and he was careless and he had a couple of bad experiences fumbling probably cost us the division championship one year [Music] there was no place on don schuler's colts for a player whose talent was no longer as large as his scrapbook and in 1963 lenny moore's career seemed over i dedicated myself in 1964 i said well if they think i'm through i'm gonna show them that i'm not through and i'm gonna have the best year i've ever had because it's gonna start from day one my attitude changed and my dedication was toward proving that i was still there that i could still do the job the magic was gone but the will the desire returned throughout the season moore remained a persistent heroic presence a determined relentless competitor who never stopped trying even as a 31 year old member of the special teams moore scored a record 20 touchdowns led the league in scoring and the colts won the championship for the western conference at the season's end moore was again an all-pro he received the comeback player of the year award and was voted the most valuable player in the nfl but lenny moore had another reason to savor the season of 64. his success erased a debt to his own pride and three years later he retired certain of his place in the game's history [Music] ricky bell continued the glorious tradition of the usc tailback a position like center field for the yankees that is held in reverence number 42 surpassed the achievements of mike garrett anthony davis and even o.j simpson along the way he stood taller played harder and became the mightiest trojan of them all we used to run on the beach and and in combat boots there was the sand right next to the water and then there was a heavy sand and we'd run from pier to pier i mean the boots was hard enough and the sand was is doubly hard i would run right next to the water which it was hard but ricky would run in the deep sand and beat me to the pier i mean smoked me i mean he was he just had this force within him that you really don't see in a normal person the tampa bay buccaneers select as the first selection in the first round ricky bell fullback university of southern california the buccaneers had lost all 14 games in their expansion season in 76 and coach john mckay had brought so many of his former southern cal players in here and the tampa became known as southern cal east when they had the opportunity to draft tony dorsett out of pittsburgh and instead took ricky bell a southern cal player ricky was off to a bad start and strike number one ricky's first two seasons were disasters not only did he fail to elevate the lowly bucks he was deemed personally responsible for their failure it was hard for him to understand why people were so down on him i think he took some of that to heart when it was basically meant to be me ricky was out there playing and they couldn't really get to me that often and they took it out on ricky some fans gathered behind the bench and began to berate ricky bell personally he took it as long as he could stand it and he headed towards the stands several players had to restrain him buried by his critics in a shallow grave ricky bell resurrected his career in 1979 and led the buccaneers to a title there was just something about his continents that made everybody think he was special he treated everybody special and yet he'd walk on a football field and become an extremely violent uh aggressive runner he'd knock you down and run over you and then come back and help you up he ran so hard that he grunted when he ran huh if you were deaf you could hear him coming bell finally demonstrated why he was chosen first in the 1977 draft he carried defenders almost 1300 yards lifted the bucks to the nfc central championship and to the brink of the super bowl in 1979 but a storybook that began with a honeymoon with buck fans on the field and a marriage offer concluded with a horrifying final chapter the next year we um we were not anyways near as good but he couldn't play very often he would get an injury and where he might be out a day or two he'd be out two or three weeks i didn't know the reason why the trainer and the doctor didn't know the reason why i summed it up and says ricky bell would like to be on the west coast i'm going to put him there traded to the charges in 1982 bell number 42 played little always sick or injured it was discovered he had contracted a rare skin and muscle disease called dermatomyositis probably 90 of people have a normal lifespan with this disease ricky's condition caused inflammation of the muscles of the heart which occurs in probably less than five percent of cases and this was distinctly unusual he had a certain sense of peace with it that he was struggling with it he knew that we could only do so much and he really never let this on to people around him he was a positive energetic soul [Music] on november 28 1984 the mightiest trojan lost the one fight he never had a chance to win you know he was a genuinely good person you know nobody nobody ever had nothing bad to say about ricky just a great person and you know it's easy to sit back when somebody's passed away and talk about how great he was but i thought this at the time about ricky probably the kindest gentlest football player that i've ever been around i think he had a sense about him that just made everybody love him i i loved him and i thought he was a great player knew how to do everything right uh i wished her for a lot more rookies he's gone but his memory lives on and it's strong when things get bad i just look at how bad things were him right before he died he never complained you know he was he was the kind of guy just i don't know he was he was a once-in-a-lifetime person he was one in a million you know he was a one in the million guys battering ram a military engine anciently used to beat down walls of besieged palaces was a large beam with a head of iron that resembled the head earl campbell he was such a physical football player anytime that anybody ever hit earl campbell it always hurt them a lot worse than it hurt earl campbell he was the hitter the other people were the ones that got the hit just a very very powerful physical football player that could run over tacklers always going toward the goal line he was a true north south runner you just could not tackle him with a hand or an arm now you forget that in fact you couldn't tackle him with his shoulder a lot of times unless you had two or three sets of shoulders he'd break in the open he looked somebody up to run over rather than look somebody up to dodge i knew what was going to happen and they knew what was going to happen and they knew that if it wasn't like six of them four or five maybe he's gonna go cause he ain't gonna quit kind of girlish for one guy to tackle me and i wanted to have a bunch of them earl campbell proved what an irresistible force does to immovable objects [Music] we played washington one year i wish you'd look the film up or get somebody to look it up he made a nine yard touchdown run and i swear i believe seven people hit him in that nine yards it was the best run i ever saw him make picking the best campbell collision was like choosing the best mike tyson knockout was it budding heads with the raiders jack tatum [Music] or trampling the rams isaiah robertson you hit that guy isaiah right he ain't gonna want to play football and i could not believe just for a second that he planned on tackling me standing that tall so i figured the best thing to do to put my head down he fell i kept running while no one ever finished off a play like campbell there was one thing he never finished hell i don't believe ever finished a mile run but i've never seen a football field a mile long so it didn't bother me on fourth and a mile we weren't going to give him the ball campbell gained over five miles during his career a grueling body of road work that produced admirers of his stamina he's just a great player and had a huge heart control the game on my fence and eat up four or five minutes of the clock and carry the ball 10 15 times in a row and the 15th time would be just as hard as the first it was just 38th carry the ball game and we were ahead all we want to do is make a first down and run the clock out and we gave him a routine pitch out and he went around the end around 89 yards with all the secondary people chasing him and they're fast kids but they couldn't catch him 40 at the 50 he may go he ran 89 yards on the 38th carry of the ball game that gives you an idea of his stamina [Applause] [Music] on every team he ever played on earl campbell has been the centerpiece a heisman trophy winner at texas he was
