Yes.....again, you don't know much....the coaching back then was run straight up his butt and then cut opposite to where he goes...

If that was the case, then you;'d have Emmitt running up the butt and back of OL, .instead of bobbing & weaving, patiently knowing when
to stop & re-start, keep his feet working knowing when to just patiently when to pace for a slight crease to finally open and when to straight line burst
in-out of holes .................

Emmitt was slow, he had to Bob and weave....Walker had world class speed! He needed to use it. Two different players....both great. You have to coach up a player to his strengths and tailor your scheme to your studs.

Dak number 3 is one of the dumbest takes I have ever read. I mean beyond stupid.

...as you and that gawd awful Avatar .. you showing up to post is

next 5…
Dak
Lebaron
Morton
Bledsoe
Testaverse

You mad bro?
Over Dak? Over me avatar? (You must be a very angry person. Take yer meds.)

So ... let us see when Dak takes this team to the Super Bowl.

And do a google on playoff games Cunningham, Peete, Testaverde, Bledsoe etc. led their teams to victory?
It's gotta be more tha 1 measly playoff win in Dak's resume.

It's a reason why Jimmie and coaching staff thought they had to trade away their best player ... the player with the world class speed
instead of build around him. He wasn't a creator. He wasn't a big cut back guy with vision and wiggle - that made it harder on your OL.
and makes him a easier job to stop. Just keep his shoulders square to the line and he's just not gonna do very much.

Add that to Vikes still thinking the world and hype of Hershel, Cowboys being the worst NFL record and needing very value high picks and
it made sense and a urgency to trade Walker.

Well who said it was Cowboys career? IF it was, then its definitely a different conversation. But if we are talking about the best RB to play for the Cowboys then its Walker after Smith. One could even argue that Walker is the best RB to ever play for the Cowboys.

As a return on investment, that has to be Walker.

 

[CowboyRoy]

- Physically per size/speed ratio .. Hershel walker was the most physically equipped RB we've ever had.

But when it comes to talent, ..it's more than physical measurements.
It's how you can create ..and anyone that closely observed Walker, he just wasn't the most instinctive back.

Just running up the back of your OL isn't a showcase of talent.
Emmitt Smith wasn't the biggest and especially not the fastest ..but his gift came in how he
was able to find creases and seams and creative running even it seems gaps were bogged up, run skills are a mixture of vision, patience, balance, eluding with
both your feet and body control, .. when you have a creative back like that your OL doesn't have to hold as long - vs a back that has trouble locating creases and holes at the line.

Love Emmitt, but had huge holes to run through. You dont need much vision with holes like that. If Walker looked like he didnt have vision it was because there were no holes. The guy played on horrible team with bad lines. Walker has the holes Emmitt did and he destroys it.

I find you assessment short sighted and untrue. Its like your making things up to try and justify your answer.

Emmitt had vision first, never elite speed, but quick on cuts.
HOF RB.

My top 5 RB…
Emmitt
TD
Walker
DeMarco Murray
Zeke

next 5…
Duane Thomas
MB
Calvin Hill
Perkins
Newhouse

 

[CowboyRoy]

Zeke does have more than twice as many yards rushing as a cowboy

3 years as compared to 6. And again............Walker had sometimes half of his yards as a receiver. The Olines were so bad with Walker they got him the ball throwing it to him.

 

[CowboyRoy]

“Dallas” top 5

Ok Ill take Walker. He played for the Cowboys for 3 years.

 

[Ranching]

yep, and then you cant deny what he did for the organization.

No Randall Cunningham or Rodney Peete ..??

And no Pot Boy!

Why would Walker run up the butt of his lineman if there was a hole to his right or left? LOL

You have a great imagination.

Emmitt looked like he had amazing vision because the hole was so big you just assumed it was his vision.

But I freely admit he had good vision. Emmitt is my favorite football player of all time. But when I got older and really learned the game, it became apparent how important the Oline was the Emmitt's success.

I know that you knew already.

Even though I hated it then, it was the best trade in NFL history

There's nuthin to make up when you have a chance to watch, and observe with your very eyes,..

Walker had the likes Tunieu, Newton, and Gogan on his OL line during his brief Cowboys career. .

the great thang with the Emmitt era was we combined elite RB skills and the greatest OL in history of the NFL, .
