to be real hes not earl look home guys Hes Emmitt Smith.. maybe he won't last the same number of years to get close to the record, maybe he doesnt desire that but EE is not on the same caliber of team or coaches ES had but lets get real, I see a lot of similarity's in their games..
I know ES is so revered, we somehow forget he was great but he wasn't Barry Sanders with quick, shifty explosiveness.
he was his own type of successful Power back with enough wiggle and always available ie not injured, they fall forward get yards available, volume backs etc etc...
thats the new comp SB =Barry type; EE=Emmitt type.
its that simple..you may not like EE the person or his holdout or his contract BUT he is a lot like ES..period..
