Ya remember what RB has the most carries tackled for loss and lost yardage in NFL history?
Barry Sanders.
336 times tackled for loss for -952 yards.
I remember a local guy who blocked for him told us one time that Barry was a great guy to block for, but there were times it was frustrating becuase he would not go to the hole but instead try to break it outside for a big play, and found himself losing yards and it would drive them nuts when on first down he would not go to the hole and then lose 3-4 yards putting them in second and long and if he had just went into the thole it is second and 7. Sometimes as a RB the worst that you should strive for is putting your head down into the whole and getting 1-2 yards instead of dancing around and going side/back.
but on the flipside....sanders was an amazing back and some of his signature runs may have never happend if he had put his head down into a hole for 2-3 yards!
