He’s trying to say it was Mouse’s since he supposedly developed it

But it was Tiger Ellison who developed the Run n Shoot

I mean he was Detroit’s OC the first few seasons of Barry’s career, according to what I’ve read/heard they maintained it after he left the organization

Mouse didn't develop it, he was just the first guy at the collegiate level to use it consistently and successfully.

And only a handful of teams in the NFL ever ran a true Run and Shoot offense - The Kelly Bills, the Oilers, and the Falcons.

Umm that’s what I posted. It was Tiger Ellison who developed it

The Lions ran it with Rodney Peete and Erik Kramer at QB as well

The K Gun wasn’t a Run n Shoot it was a variation of what Cincinnati ran and then FSU ran when they called it the Fast Break with Weldon, Ward, and Kannel.

Yeah, it's actually the opposite. The RB is only as good as the blockers in front of him

Then why did none of the Dallas O-Line receive any all-pro honors before Emmitt arrived? Why did Derrick Lassic struggle those first 2 games of 93 when Emmitt was holding out? They as great as you say they are, whoever the RB is should be irrelevant and that RB should dominate.

That was a young team that came together at one time and got good together.

Washed up Darren McFadden went over 1000 yards in 2015 with Matt Cassel at QB. Why? Because he was running behind one of the best OL of all time

Barry Sanders would’ve gone down as tGOAT if he played on a team with as much talent as those Cowboys SB teams
