Sam Hurd has a bold prediction: 16-0

The general reaction in the Valley Ranch locker room to Emmitt Smith's seven-win prediction was a shrug of the shoulders.

"I don't care," Roy Williams said. "Emmitt is a great back, Hall of Fame back, Super Bowl back, all-of-the-above back, a diamond-among-trash back, so it's all good."

Emmitt doesn't have a proven track record as a prognosticator. Perhaps Sam Hurd will after the season. Or maybe not.

"I think we can go undefeated," Hurd said with a straight face. "We almost did it during the 13-3 season. It's the same coach, same team, just a couple of different players. I think we have improved and I think we're coming together as a unit, offense, defense and special teams. So I think we can get it done."

LOL.

Roy's a pretty smart guy, not a ton of people would have remembered that.

 

[MONT17]

Rabbitt ears and smack talking with the media... great for the utube generation!

 

[TD-33]

Hurd is probably closer to the Cowboys 2009 record than Emmitt.

 

[Arch Stanton]

One game at a time Sam. A game at a time.

Exactly! That was great!

funny guy.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

I love Roy's comment to Emmit. This is his team now. Take charge, my man. Take charge.

 

[Manster54]

That's optimism for you!

 

[Primetime42]

So how long until Hurd's remarks are all over ESPN?

I can see it already; "Cowboys Predict Undefeated Season"

 

[SLATEmosphere]

I think we go 16-0 too...

I didn't want to be the only one saying that...

 

[Doomsday101]

Sam needs to wake up. 19-0 !!!!!

 

[Manster54]

Sam needs to wake up. 19-0 !!!!!

Doesn't the playoff bye week count as an extra victory?

 

[Phoenix]

funny guy.

Loved it.

Man that is a cold shot. :laugh2:

I still would prefer the playoff bye week but than taking the long road.

Roy's comment about Emmitt is a classic. I really do like how Roy is handling the media. He gets bombarded with stupid questions, predictions, and other people's thoughts and opinions non-stop. He's right, those guys aren't there watching film and watching all their practices, so really, all it is is an opinion.

I loved Emmitt, don't get me wrong, but I do like the little jab Roy threw his way.

I luv Sams attitude but I like the comments in bold lettering even better. This is so important for the team to come together as a unit. This team has been all about business this off season and had a no nonsense TC. They've become a close knit bunch. I like the way this team is entering the season..
