I loved Barry tbh. Yeah, Erik Cramer, Rodney Peete, and Scott Mitc guys…..
His line was not as bad as advertised and they had one really good WR for a few years (Herman Moore), but he played his career in the midst of the NFC’s dominant SB run and never had anywhere close to the supporting cast to go up against the big boys. Think about some of those teams now…late 80s/early 90s Giants and Redskins, the Cowboys and 49ers, then prime Brett Favre and the Packers. Those teams were playing a completely different sport compared to the Lions.
He takes a lot of for the negative runs but he ran every play like he had to provide them a spark because, well…he had to. Charlie Batch and Johnnie Morton sure as weren’t going to be the spark
Just saw the do entary and man, it looks like all of Barry’s relatives at one point or another were married to the rock
