Eric Dickerson, The verdict was for some time on the noble goal to beat Chris Johnson Eric Dickerson, 1984 single-season rushing record [2,105 yards]. This makes no go especially after the Tennessee Titans 17-6 sad loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in which he tallied 53 yards in 13. We have therefore taken with Eric Dickerson, 50, Monday during a conference call to promote ESPN last 30 to 30 documentaries, Pony Exce $ $, which premiered this weekend to ask him what he thinks on what happens in a season rushing yards in 2000-plus.

Earlier this season, NFL Chris Johnson talked about wanting to break your record. I was wondering what you thought when you heard about this and also what kind of things are going to rush over 2,000 yards in a season in the NFL?

Dickerson: I heard him talking about wanting to beat my record. The only thing to have a season like this is that this is not something you talk about, especially in public. These defenses NFL personnel consider that they actually do. And Take It Personal coaches when you say you are going to rush for 2,000 yards.

Everything must go right, you need to stay healthy, you can not fall behind, and you need to close games. You go down like they did yesterday with 17-zip, suddenly, you have to run the ball. There are so many things to go your way.Matter-to-earth through all my medical records a few months ago through the NFL, I discovered this year in 1984 I practiced full time in September this year. Really, I was not sound a lot, but I was able to play in games. And that’s how it is, that’s life of a NFL running back. There is a lot that goes into trying to stay healthy and try to rush 2,000 meters. One thing is the team to enter

Do you think that Chris Johnson could possibly break this one day?

Dickerson: It is possible it is always possible. We’ll have to go out and do first. I do not want to break him, I will say that (laughs). I think one day that record will be broken. I lived a long life, I hope I’m dead and buried when it happens, but someone will break it someday. Chris Johnson has the physical ability to achieve its goal. It is just in his third NFL season after all. But a series of lucky breaks so Johnson must fall for him to reach over 2000 meters again. Judging by how things are in Tennessee right now, it may be awhile.

Sherwood Blount, Thad Matula said that his film career went nowhere. He is not sure he would never be that one break in life – that moment when everything changes.

But that moment came when ESPN picked up his documentary project on the SMU football and 1987, the “death penalty.”

“It’s hard for me to imagine that in a year and a half I have been editing videos of deer hunting and I was wondering what had happened,” said Matula, 32, an alumnus of Jesuit Preparatory School of Dallas and SMU.

Pony excess will be broadcast tonight that the last movie of ESPN “30 to 30” documentary series, which was created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the network.

It is the culmination of over a year of work by Matula. He had previously been students and shorts, but nothing close to the platform and exposure that ESPN provides.

Matula had long wanted to make a film on the NCAA-mandated penalty that closed the SMU football program for repeated violations of rules, including paying its players on a booster slush fund.

The school chose not to play a partial schedule in 1988 and resumed play in 1989.

A film about SMU and its death penalty was on the radar ESPN in spring 2009, according to John Dahl, executive producer of ESPN Films. The network attempts to find a production company to approach the subject came to nothing, though.

But a series of chance meetings between the producers of the documentary and an executive project Matula ESPN got in front of network executives this summer.

Mike Hughes, a classmate Jesuit Matula and executive producer of the documentary ran two producers at a party and let them know about the draft Matula.

Both of them said they were interested in jumping on board.

Shortly after, one of them met an officer who said ESPN there was an unexpected opening in the “30 for 30” series.

“It was kind of serendipitous,” said Dahl.

Preview last week in Dallas. The Lakewood Theater overflowed with supporters who cheered when EMS Eric Dickerson said how he hated Texas Longhorns and laughed at a clip of a Texas AM & Cadet Corps lunging at a member SMU cheerleader with a sword.

But the crowd fell silent as he saw excerpts from WFAA-TV in November 1986 exposed what many consider to be the last nail in the coffin for SMU football.

“If I did something that attempted to exonerate the university, it would be a piece crybaby and nobody is concerned,” said Matula. “I watched it with honesty, and left to others to decide if [the death penalty] was too severe.”

Hughes stood in the back of the theater during the screening and watched the crowd.

“He was one of the coolest things you would expect to see the audience respond,” he said.

Matula hopes that the film gets people to think about the SMU football again.

“What I always wanted for this movie is a guy randomly in the middle of nowhere in Ohio, on Saturday afternoon to say” Ohio State is not playing until the bonus time. Oh, SMU is running. I want to see this match. “”
