Message: <blockquote data-quote="El Guapo" data-source="post: 458737" data-attributes="member: 5830">The incredible thing about Green was that he was SO good, that teams stopped focusing on stopping Favre and focused on Green. For years they talked about making Favre beat you because Green and the Packers' o-line were the real threat. Now part of that is a commentary on how Sherman allowed Favre's game to regress, but in no way diminishes Green's accomplishments. To the OP's question, it's a bit loaded since we've only had one decent running back in that 10 year window so there really is no other answer. I would agree with ivo610 that Rodgers has been our most effective runner since Green, although the question should really encompass a couple of decades or maybe back to Hornung and Taylor. Levens was a really good running back in Holmgren's west coast offense. I also have a fondness for the way that Edgar Bennett ran the ball but Ahman "Batman" Green still was the best post-60s back. Is there any love for the Wood brothers combo of the late 80s in Brent Fullwood and Keith Woodside?</blockquote>
