Not familiar with the O line...so Ill see if I can find anything there.
 
Yup...you were right. 3 Pro Bowlers including one of the best ever in Anthony Munez.

Who knows..maybe the Houkster can turn our o line into a bunch of Houkamaniacs. Take a look at these pyhtons..brother...follow the Houksters advice and you can join the growing legion of Houkamaniacs!!

Hey if our O line does any good this year..I say we call the the Houkamaniacs!!

I'm going with Christian Akoye and Barry Word. Akoye in particular used to run over defenses.

Icky Woods/James Brooks for the Bengals? Seemed to work pretty good for them...they went to the SB.

I loved playing temco bowl (super) with him as a running back, EVERBODY bounced off when you hit them, except Rod woodson.

Dude had 100 hitting power in Good condition...:lol:

Oh yeah.....just tap the A button while running and he was untacklable........man I wish we could play that game online like todays madden.....I had a killer move with the NT that got me like 8-15 sacks a game.

I was trying to think of when, in the history of the NFL either past or present, where there has been a backfield tandem such as Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. Tiki and Dayne where different, in that they had two totally different styles. Same with Csonka and Mercury Morris. It seems like we have two big running backs that can run with speed and power.

Are there any comparisons that you can think of, to see if this type of system has worked in the past. Might we be setting a new trend in the NFL? It seems like we could create some great mismatches with both these guys on the field at the same time.

What are your thoughts?

Byner/Mack in cleveland
Jackson/Allen in Oakland
Okoye/Word in KC
Thomas/Davis in Buffalo

Don't know if any of these fit.

Marcus Allen and Bo Jackson were the ones who immediately came to mind for me. All-Pro runner joined by physical freak from Auburn......some similarities there. :D

Mack and Biner in Clevland were an awesome duo...so were Czonka and Morris....but given Linehans offense, they'll both get used a lot, which may not sit well with either...Ricky is a streaky runner and gets better as the game goes on...we don't know about Brown yet....

But, our OL has to continue to show it can get the job done for either one to be successful this season...

And a certain Miami Dolphins linebacker named Offerdahl...he's the only lb I saw knock Okoye back into his own backfield when they met in the hole.
