That's a very, very good point.It's cool, the amount of time Terrell Davis sat in 1998 is like a good fish story. It gets bigger every year. All of his old teammates- Sharpe, Smith, etc- get a little bit fast and loose with the details when they're reminiscing, and it's reached the point of absolute blind unquestioned acceptance among the Broncos fan base. I've heard people claim that Terrell Davis sat out the equivalent of two full games which... the play-by-play data is right there on the internet. He didn't. Anyone can feel free to check.That's strange. They showed highlights of that Dallas game I mentioned before the program started, and then cut it with Shanny talking to the OC after halftime and saying "Leave the O-line in, leave the receivers in, take TD out." Made it seem like he sat with tons of time remaining. My mistake.
Davis only played the equivalent of 14 games in his 2225 yard season, too, since he sat out the second halves of 4 games
if Denver was up by more than 14 points, Terrell Davis was not in the game. Period.I watched every snap of every game that season. I may be a Denver fan, but that doesn't mean I can't retain at least the semblance of objectivity regarding the Broncos.
