Emmitt Smith: Why new Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott is better than me

[Seven]

He also was fantastic at not letting defenders get a square hit on him.

Yah. That's what I meant but you said it better.

You have no vision. We need twelve Super Bowls minimum!

That's just FAT !!!! But I like it !!!

If it's Dak or another quarterback, they are going to have a very good place to play when Romo retires. Best o-line, hopefully an elite running back and good receivers. We have a lot of young talent on this team and we're going to be relevant and fun to watch even after Romo leaves, IMO.

That, and he could gain 8 yards falling down.

A friend, that watched him in college, said he's almost similar to L. Bell. That he can catch and run real well.

If true, then this would be a real great weapon.

Emmitt and Irvin were both behind picking elliot at 4 before the draft.
(so was I lol) time will tell if we were right or not.

For years the NFL's all-time leading rusher has been calling for his former team to run the ball more often.

So it's no surprise that Emmitt Smith loves that the Dallas Cowboys used the fourth overall pick on Ezekiel Elliott on Thursday night.

"I think they got a very, very good football player," Smith said on 105.3 The Fan's G-Bag Nation show Tuesday afternoon [KRLD-FM]. "I really do. I like Zeke. I've always liked Zeke. I met him through Urban Meyer obviously when Ohio State was here playing in the national championship game.

"I'm looking forward to what he brings to the table. ... I think the Cowboys did a very good job."

Last Friday, Smith welcomed Elliott to Dallas on Twitter. A fan responded to that tweet by typing, "let's just hope he's as good as you were."

Smith replied: "He's better."

Yes, Emmitt, and he'll be playing with an O line of diamonds.

Nobody will ever be more productive than Emmitt. I just don't think it's possible.


For a 5-8 year spurt there may be guys that can produce at a similar level though.

Hmmmm.. Something like AP.

I'll take it.

This instant gratification world we live in is a bit much.

Can we let the kid play a down before we declare him the GOAT?

I have never saw so many ex-cowboys players rave so much about our draft this year.... I can see Super Bowl in the next 2-3 years if healthy
