What would you give to have another Christian Okoye like RB?

It's really not that impressive of a hit when you watch it. Yes, it is a famous 'hit' but it's nothing special. Okoye is planting his feet (on his heels) to make a cut and Atwater runs into him then gives him the forearm push.

Watch it close (pause at the right moments) and you'll see what I mean.

Not to take anything away from Atwater, that guy hit like a freight train.

I couldn't disagree more. In the context of the moment it was literally jaw dropping. Christian Okoye was(for lack of a better term) the Mike Tyson of running backs at that time. An nobody had ever seen Christian Okoye get cracked like that.

I must agree, There will never be a single player ever like The Man, I hope and pray that the Chief's strife to find that person, and become that team again.

Just like Christian, who was the nigthmare for opposing defense, Derrick was a opposing teams offense nightmare!
