See, I realize you are correct about the normal hits thing, but where I disagree is that a RB that takes the ball out of hands and is a very good blocker and receiver that gives him a quick outlet like Emmitt did for Troy will prevent him from taking some, not all, but some of those hits. And just maybe the one that would have put him down.
Having that Oline and Emmitt didn't stop Aikman from collecting concussions and having his back give up on him.
