Good news re: Dillon:
I just saw the ESPN website - in the ESPN Motion area, they have a clip of Rachel Nichols interviewing Asante Samuel on the field after the game and you can see a smiling Corey Dillon over Samuel's shoulder laughing and talking to (I think) a Jet. CD seemed at ease and moving well.
If anybody remembers Jim Brown, he looked like he was going to die every time he went back to the huddle.
Power runners are in pain most of the time, masked by adrenalin.
I imagine after Corey's last run, (a 7 yd. gain on 3rd and one), he relaxed and probably started aching from about 7-8 places while Lawrence carried down the stretch.
I think most great power backs retire because because of the pain, more than the inability to cut it anymore.
Jim Brown had 1544 yards in a
14 game season with 5.3 yards a carry, then retired without a season ending injury.
It's when they relax and have to face another training camp.
Dillon would have retired if he was still on the Bengals IMO. He is loving playing for a real team and this is driving him.
With Maroney to share carries I think he can play a year or two and he's the best power runner in football right now if you ask me.
Of course
The best runner of this era is coming next week.
Career wise, he's the only current back who can compare to Dillon in his prime IMHO.
