4th quarter, 4th down, No Timeouts left, Ball on the 1 yard line, Offense is down by 4.

Play is called.
It's a hand-off to Bo.
Ray reads it.
All linemen are engaged in blocking.
Ray and Bo meet in the hole...Mano a Mano.

Does Bo score or does Ray stop him???

Talk about a tough decision to make...lol. I'm going with RAY

At the 1 yard line? I'd take Bo.

If you only have to move the ball one yard, I'd take the offense every time.

Bo takes the handoff with a head of steam, but Ray reads the play and gets a head of steam from his LB spot....

Yep. So picture this. They're running at each full steam...if they hit and Bo leans one way or the other; he's still going to fall forwards and Ray will end up on one side or the other.

EDIT: I'd also like to say that I don't really like Bo Jackson.

Out of 10 tries, I would take the offense each time and I would be right 7-8 times.

I've seen RBs get met in the hole before and not gain another inch...

I've seen receivers catch a ball with their facemask. If I gave you one shot at catching one like that, would you put money on the receiver catching or dropping it (with their facemask)?

I'd pick Ray Lewis because he'd probably just stab him and get away with it.

Give me Bo. The one yard line is to close, all he has to do is extend the ball past the goal line. Now had this been from 3-4 yards out it'd have been a tough decision.

^^^yep..Bo Jackson one on one.... Lewis doesn't have a chance, he'd get trucked. They are the same height with Ray probably being 20-25lbs heavier.

Bo tossed Bosworth like a rag doll and Brian is helluva a lot bigger than Ray Lewis.

Did you just compare Bosworth to Lewis?

In terms of physical size, yes, I believe that comparison was just made.

Last time I checked, size plays a pretty important role in tackling.

Lewis is an all-time great and Bosworth is considered one of the biggest bust ever. Lewis was a great player, which included tackling, Bosworth not so much.

I think technique is as important as size.

That Bo Jackson running over Boz comparison as if the same thing would happen to Ray, is just like thinking Ali can beat Tyson because of the comparison of what Ali did to Foreman. Two totally different animals...

The Bosworth video was not a comparison to Lewis in terms of talent, more or less a size comparison...I still standby my assertion Bo would truck Lewis every god damn time.

Look at these highlights from his runs

More appropriately, it's the Superbowl. Time for a few more plays. You're on the 1. Do you give it to beast mode?
