News: Emmitt loves the Martin draft pick

What do the Dallas Cowboys need to do to get over the 8-8 hump?

According to former Cowboys’ running back Emmitt Smith, the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, the answer is simple-- run the football.

“Hell, you have to have the balance,” Smith said. "The Cowboys are so pass-happy right now that they’re not even giving themselves a chance to be balanced. The game is won in the trenches. You build a team inside out, not outside in."

“I thought the pick was wonderful. I thought the Cowboys did a great job of upgrading this offensive line,” Smith said. “I think they did (make the right decision to pass on Johnny Manziel. They are committed to Tony Romo.

“Although most people want to pass on Tony Romo right now, I think we can do more things to help Romo become a successful quarterback, and that starts with play selection and also running the football.”

I agree with him.

He is right. You win by building the trenches, investing high picks year after year. You can run the football opens the offense up like none other. That's how we built the 90s although our OL wasn't draft picks or picks that went high that is not the norm. I really like the decisions Jerry and Co. have made this off season

This is why you listen to Hall of Fame players and not some news reporter who has no football experience, but are dangerous with a keyboard.

You mean the guy who is saying run the football in a pass happy NFL?

I couldn't agree more with Emmitt!

We're going to run better when it counts this season (hopefully). But I think a lot of fans who are expecting to see the run/pass ratios change significantly are going to be really frustrated with what ends up happening.

Are the 2 best teams in the NFL running teams?

I really don't think Emmitt has seen one minute of Iowa football this year.

Well, the 49ers are a VERY good Defensive team, which control the clock with the run, same with Seattle. Does Dallas have a good Defense?


Emmitt, is coming from an NFL in which RBs were taken in the 1st rd, and teams ran the ball, this is not the same NFL, he is out of touch.

Yeah, we pass just fine, we need to run it better. With a oline like this.

Emmitt still has it. A leopard can't change his stripes.
