      Consistency! Slow and steady wins the race. Year after year.
      And by “slow”, I mean that you do not need to run 50 yards on every carry. Just keep grinding them down

      That line was really good, but Emmitt had a way of making the blocks work, even if they weren't great. Similar to a quarterback throwing a receiver open. Also that acceleration. Some of these runs he was on the line so fast, the linemen didn't need to block for very long at all.

      They just want him to be Barry Sanders when he wasn't. Emmett was an awesome running back. He was also not the equivalent of Barry Sanders by any means. You better shelf that goat conversation if you think he was better than Barry who had no line. I still think if you stuck Sanders back in the Cowboys backfield of that era and ran him behind Larry Allen, he would have had three or four 2000 yard seasons.

      Cowboys record in 1988: 3-13
      Cowboys Record in 1989: 1-15

      Cowboys Record 1993: 12-4 and Super Bowl Champions.
      People use offensive line as an excuse. Is Tom Brady not the GOAT because he threw to Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman? Is Jerry Rice not the GOAT because Joe Montana was his quarterback? Is Ed Reed not the GOAT because Ray Lewis was in the middle of the field? Is Larry Allen not the GOAT because of Erik Williams, Ray Donaldson, Nate Newton, and Mark Tuinei? Please Emmitt Smith made that line not the other way around, as soon as they had someone to block for they were the best unit in football. Best Offensive line and best running back.
      Emmitt Smith is the GOAT and it’s not close. Nobody is saying the line doesn’t deserve credit but not ALL the credit for his success.

      1. Walter
      2. Emmitt

    All I know is that for all the talk about his line, guys like Curvin Richards, Lincoln Coleman, Derrick Lassic, and Sherman Williams looked awfully pedestrian running behind that same line. Emmitt's body balance never gets enough love...it was an all time ability. That TD run vs Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVIII is impossible if you watch it again...no one in his era, Barry Sanders included, keeps their feet on that play. Give the man his just due. If anyone could've done it, the Cowboys wouldn't have been so bad without him in his peak years.

    Im not a Cowboys fan but the disrespect Emmitt gets is beyond criminal. People always talk about that line but most people can only name one guy on that line (Larry Allen, but Emmitt was already a 2 time champ by the time he came to Dallas), and most of that same line was on that 89 team that lost 15 games. No one shits on Jerry Rice for catches passes from 2 HoF qbs as well as another who was a league MVP.

    • @bigred9991
      @bigred9991 Рік тому +4

      That's been my argument for years as well. Emmitt is the only player in the history of the NFL that gets shit on for playing on a good team.
      Rice played with 2 hall of fame QB's and in an offensive system that was designed to get the #1 receiver the ball early and often. He played for a lot longer than Emmitt as well. Plus Emmitt only had that great line for about 4 years l. After that injuries and drugs took their toll and Aikman had to retire early because of the hits he was taking. Emmitt is #1 in my opinion because he had the stats and rings to back that up. Barry literally had a playoff game with 13 carries for negative 1 rushing yards. Emmitt would never allow that.

      I tell people this all the time. Curvin Richards got cut the next day after beating the Bears, because he fumbled the ball like three times trying to run behind that (soon to be) Super Bowl winning OLine. Derick Lassic started the first two games after winning the Super Bowl with that "great" OLine, and he couldn't run behind that line, either. Give the ball to Emmitt and watch things happen! Emmitt was quick, agile, tough, hard-nosed, finesse, make you miss, run you over, catch the ball, block for the passer, do everything kind of back. The best to strap'em up!

Yes he might've beat Emmitt's record if he had a better line but then again maybe he wouldn'tve. Plain n simple people, he quit. I dont think Emmitt has the word quit in his vocabulary n that is why he is #1 n will probably never be dethroned. Remember this, you can never be the best if you quit. Let's not forget Emmitt also won Dancing WTS. Do you know why? Because he is a Winner!!!
    Watch videos of both of them. Barry ran with finesse. Emmitt ran with heart n determination. You can see it clear as day. Heart n determination will beat finesse everytime. I can just about guarantee you that if Barry had a separated shoulder he wouldn't come back into a game n play like Emmitt did against the Giants. In fact I doubt he would've come back into the game at all. Emmitt is the leading rusher because he is the best ever period. And no I am not a Cowboys fan.

    You can say it was the offensive line, but when you get 11 straight 1,000 yard seasons, you are something special. Either way, Emmitt was a part of the puzzle along with Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Moose, Jay Novacek, the defensive. Everything came together and if Jerry didn't fire Jimmy, they would most likely have 3 straight Super Bowls even 4.

    I loved watching Emmitt. You see, some running backs are really good. Others are great, but Emmitt was exceptional. He just found holes and went into warp. The man was epic. His tenacity, both as a running back and a team player, is what defined him. He can definitely run, but he can take down players three times his size in order to make things happen. I remember one game in which it appeared he was stopped. I mean there must've been like a dozen guys around him and than all of the sudden he exploded out of the melee and went over 50 yards for a touch down. That was Emmitt. He just kept going and going and going until every guy on defense, knew for sure he was completely down.
    Privately, Emmitt is a super nice guy. Very intelligent and a great friend to all. I know there have been allot of good or great running backs, but Emmitt, in my personal opinion, was the most exceptional running back in NFL history. Certainly his stats bare that out. Even in high school, he could run. Then as a NCAA player. Once the Cowboys got ahold of him, the rest was history. The big three......
    Aikman
    Emmitt
    Irvin
    They were by no means the whole team, but most people would agree, during the years these three played, the Dallas Cowboys were on top consistently and constantly.

    Emmitt Smith was the perfect rb imo. Watched his entire career and was my hero growing up. There is no wasted motion whatsoever. He could block run with power, and speed and balance. Best vision of any rb ever. Probably the smartest rb ever. Incredibly driven. He basically predicted that he would play at the rose bowl and win a superbowl and break the all time rushing record. Rarely took a huge hit. Was healthy all the time. People always say his line. Some important things people forget is Emmitt used to buy things for his line and they had no pro bowlers before he got there. They had 5 after he did and it was the same line.Smith held out they started off 0-2. They couldn't run when he was out. He came back and they won the superbowl. Always took the correct angles. Would lead drives. If I need a first down or a touch down there is no other player I'd rather have outside of maybe Tom Brady. He is the 2nd greatest player in nfl history imo. Jerry Rice is third. There is no way any of those teams would have won all those superbowls without them. Jim Brown was a huge phsycial specimen but he never won a superbowl. Emmitt surpoassed Payton and outlasted Barry Sanders in the long run. He would always come up the biggest in the biggest games too.

Where Barry Sanders danced, Smith shuffled and that's where his patience rewarded him with openings and he kept moving downhill.

    I know he ran behind the greatest o line ever but he still ran the ball past the o line and he is the all time leader in rushing yards. Put some respect on this mans name.

    His vision is what truly made emmitt great, He never second guessed nor hesistated when he seen his hole. Btw. That's not me saying that's all that made him great.
    He was so physically gifted, athletic. The balance, the speed, he was very patient with his bursts.

    "Mr. Consistent" is the perfect name for Mr. Smith. Barry Sanders, while being more flashy and having gaudier stats, also had more negative plays than any running back in history. Barry would often get stopped for short or negative yardage then break a Houdiniesque 60 yard run. Emmitt was an excellent receiver and, while not as flashy, would get the first downs and goal line touchdowns when needed - making him more dependable in the final analysis. He and Walter Payton were the most complete backs in the history of the game.

    • @TheOriginalMyocardia
      @TheOriginalMyocardia 4 роки тому +2

      ABSOLUTELY! While Barry Sanders was one of the best running backs in the history of mankind, he didn't even START to compare to the best two running backs of all time, Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton. It is not an accident that those two men are #1 and #2 in lifetime rushing yards. BTW, I also love the fact that both could run directly at any of the 120 best linebackers or safeties on Earth (both at each position on every team in the league, IOW), and as they went past the guy that had only been hired for his ability to make tackles, he had not laid a finger on them. edit: In my book, Barry Sanders would be ranked #3 in the last 40ish years.

      Not to mention Barry Sanders disappeared in the playoffs outside of one big game. 64.3 playoff YPC with linemen such as Bill Fralic, Kevin Glover and Lomas Brown, so the o-line excuse doesn't work here. Emmitt? 93.3 playoff YPC. It isn't even close. When the game's on the line, Emmitt's your man.

    • @TBSandNFL

      No, that's simply not true.
      Barry ran a spread formation because they simply did not have the blocking good enough to run a power I formation, like Emmitt.
      When you run a spread formation, you run a lot of draws, delayed handoffs and shotgun formation runs and when those fail, you're going to lose some yards, regardless of the running back. Where a power I formation is just going to get back to the line of scrimmage, 90% of the time.
      Barry's rookie season had 1500 yards and his longest run was only 34 yards.
      Next year 1300+ and only 42 yards.
      1996 he had 1550+ and only 54 yards.
      2K season and *ONE* run over 55 yards.
      Those numbers simply don't add up to what you're saying.
      Barry went in holes and followed blocking like any running back.

      .....did you just brag that Barry had BOB FRALIC?
      He was waaaaay past his prime by 93 and retired the next season.
      You really don't know anything if you brag about Kevin Glover. The guy was notoriously pathetic in the post season, while Emmitt had Erik Williams, who was an absolute *GOD* in the playoffs.
      Lomas Brown wasn't much better.
      Meanwhile, Emmitt had Erik Williams, Nate Newton, Mark Stepnoski, Mark Tuinei and Larry Allen, with his *WORST* linemen being Kevin Gogan and John Gesek, 2 very good, borderline probowl linemen.
      Emmitt had more help than any player, ever.
