John Riggins Washington Redskins Legendary Hall of Famer NFL
For somebody that size I stole to the state can imagine John Riggins at one time holding the state of Kansas record for anything running
I believe he told Coach Gibbs, "I will make you famous".
But…. Gibbs made Gibbs famous
The Diesel, 70 Chip and 50 Gut.
Gotta Love The Diesel!!
Broncos, Rangers, roomy vans!
We need to the the NFL back. The prisoners have taken over the Unit.
This comment has wit, historical context and speaks to an undeniable truth only illogical grammar could reveal. Thanks bro
Having a zany hairstyle is one thing. But as far as I can tell, Riggins didn't start showcasing the zany side of his personality until after he started listening to the early-morning radio personality, the Greaseman, on DC-101 in 1982. Riggins would eventually become a guest co-host on that show, so that's how I know he was a fan.
There was a better mix of plays back in those days IMO. You had power runners, like Riggo, finesse dudes like sweetness, and a good mix of talented tight ends making catches along with the receivers. Now it's just all about the pass, which is lame IMO.
Very quick for a 6'2". 230 lbs back. Everyone wanted to make him a fullback. But he always wanted to be a tailback!
firstmusic00 Yes, his strength was obvious but his speed was very deceptive. Also "the diesel" put up better numbers when he was in his thirties, than he did in his twenties. Thank God for Coach Gibbs football wisdom, because if George Allen would have had his way, he would never have let him run. When you take into consideration the wasted years that Allen had Riggins in a football "straight jacket", he would have broken a lot more records than he did.
omg you cut off the run @%$@ @% Redskins rule with riggo ....diesel baby!!!!! He called the current owner evil and he is right.
omg Grease!! yeaaah
learn to spell. their= there
Hi....Hmasterpiece/Kingm56 ....my name is TIMMY and i'm 11 years old. I am white and I really want to be fast, shifty tailback. Should I give up? Also, does that make Jim Brown a better white bruising running back than Riggins...or do I even have to say bruising if I said white? Sorry to bombard you with all of these important questions...but i am just twrying to lern.
that's why he's in the Hall of Fame.
John rigging sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's Riggins, bonehead! And if he sucks, you swallow!
She's probably a clam Muncher!!
@@Number1Dougster : Another DOUG just ROFL'd at your awesome comment. Hey, Fit Life, HOW DO YOU KNOW???? Did you have him do a male-on-female version of Monica Lewinsky??? Did he have a "box lunch at the Y" with you????
You HAVE TO BE A CHOWGIRLS FAN!!! Either that, or a fan of NY Gints, Philthy Beagles, or Miami Squished Fish. And oh by the way, was he very good at being a cunning linguist?
I'm bored, I'm broke, and I'm BACK! Lol
It also seems like most coaches and people today put less faith in white running backs and backs in general whereas forty years ago in a predominantly white society and sport, white rbs were favored
Riggins was a rarity as a white back. I couldn’t care less the race of the player- it’s all about ability.
Riggins was nuts every single playoff game that year. The only team to shut him down was the Raiders in the following years' Superbowl.
Agree with you there. I don't care what race my players are because they all wear the same uniform!.
It's not that white men "cant" play running back. I think outside of Peyton Hillis or Mike Alstott their just havent been very many good ones. Or they have changed positions to TE. Imagine Gronkowski as a running back?
hmasterpiece85 or...they have been stereotyped out of the position by scouts and coaches. I can tell you from experience as a coach that most coaches and talent evaluators subconsciously project excellent white high school backs into other positions at major colleges (mostly linebacker or fullback).
Still has unbeaten records as well.
@kingm56 Very true, it's it's like people saying black guys don't make good Quarterbacks. As if someone's skin color is a deciding factor in the position they play or skill level. It's ignorant fools trying to drive wedges between people.
He just ran over Ryan McNeil....0:39
If Seth Rogen were to go on a protein diet and hit the gym with a personal trainer, he'd be the perfect and only actor to play the role of John Riggins in a movie! BTW, greatest white RB's in NFL history: (4) Mike Alstott (3) Larry Csonka (2) Jim Taylor (1) JOHN RIGGINS !!!!
Very good!!!! Definitely Zonk, Taylor and the Diesel in same order as you had them are 3 best that I can think of ....
Gotta add Christian McCaffrey to that list now.
I'm friends with one of his daughters
Excellent. I was sort of hoping you were a guy, but judging from your home page, looks like not. If you were her boyfriend, I would have said, ..... "MAKE SURE YOU BEHAVE YOURSELF!!" LOL
@doomsk8er. Riggins had agility and the ability to run to his left side. Likewise, what you mentioned. Lot of the white fullbacks took hits that he didn't take because he just knew how to avoid that head on collision. Likewise, he knew how to avoid taking shots to his knees that all straight on big guys took. He mentioned that him and Jim Brown were the only guys that could run like a plow.
Great, great comment.
@collin355 I think might have been more then that in avg Lol
@kingm56 Yeah George Allen used him as a Fullback for a couple of years to. That's one reason why Riggo retired one year before coming back.
john riggins is an absolute tool.
@collin355 I know the handovers is true, I remember he was hungover as were a lot of the linemen, just wasn't sure of the hospital, but maybe I'm thinking of regular season. I wasn't alive when he played for us.
@DCsportsTalk I dont remember that but i do remember at one point his back was so bad that he would go to the hospital to rest it for the week and check out on saturdays for the game kick ass and than back to the hospital on monday..that went on for about a month..thats dedication!!!!
@collin355 Let alone he was hungover for half of those games. Was it the Lions game where he came directly from the hospital with the flu? Only to go for like 180 on them?
The diesel! This football player made me the redskins fan that I am today!
@itsmybunny1 hey DUMB ASS...you might wanna check your facts before shooting off your stupid mouht..Riggins did have over 10,000 yards..and hey who ended walters carrer?? the redskins in chicago in 88 playoffs...HOSEBAG!!!!!
@collin355 yes a way better blocker. and hey while were at it did john riggins even pass the 10000 yard rushing mark? bahahahahaha!!!!!! dumb ass
@itsmybunny1 way better???? not as a blocker!!!!! and hey while we are at it,,, where is Walter Payton's super bowl mvp trophy???? BABaHahahaha!!!!!!
@itsmybunny1 you can't even compare the two different types of RB.
walter payton way better
Thats why my business is named id44.com today..after Riggin's number!
Payton Hillis runs like Riggins.
The Redskins won by running the football and passing the ball.They did both.With a couple of exeptions,the rest of the league went absolutely pass crazy.All of their plays looked alike and all of the games looked alike.Outside of the Redskins it was the most boring era of football I have ever seen in my life.All those incomplete passes dragging the game on 31/2 hours or longer.
@kingm56 Well, my wife is black. I am white, and we both HATE how people constantly bring up race; whether it's from people like you, or the news media talking about election results. We are ALL the same color. We just have different shades of that melonen pigment that my wife has been so blessed with. We are ALL related. Some of us are just more closely related than other. We came from Adam and Eve. There is one race; the human race.
Great, great comment. I agree with basically all you said. But I would suggest that mentioning a person's race simply as an identifier is not racist. I am white, but it is a fact that nearly all the greatest running backs in NFL history have been black or minority. Not all, just nearly all. And that identifying the best white runners as a specific category AFAIC is ok.
I imagine that it happened a time or two, but I have never seen a video in which one defender was able to bring the Diesel down by himself.
@Mydickitches1 how do you know?
?? What did Mydickitch say? I do not see a comment by that person (I am not saying that a comment by that person is not here somewhere ....)
@FrsBigeasy 2nd best is only yet another opinion. The 2 top authorities on RBs to me are Jim Brown and Paul Z, neither of which have him 2nd. In truth, Csonka, Bo, Earl and Nagurgski were easily ahead of him.
The best power running back ever in the NFL.....go Riggo44
@kingm56 im white and i play running back and im elusive over power it all depends on what talent you are blessed with
joe jacoby was a beast man
I'll say this about the lack of white running backs: you can't tell me there haven't been ANY white guys capable of running the ball in the NFL since Craig James went for a dime in 1985. Law of averages.
i hope the same thing doesn't happen to toby gerhart lets stop racism on all sides of the color line
