I really don't think we got to see the "real" Emmitt Smith last year. Injuries did him in too early in the 2003 season. I still think he has a 4.0 - 4.5 yds. per carry in him and 15-20 carries a game. My opTIMism comes from what I saw from him in a few games last season (preseason vs. Bears, at Lions, vs.Packers, and vs. Vikings in regular season). Let's rally around the NFL's All-Time Leading Rusher and the starting running back for our beloved Arizona Cardinals!!!!

Go Cards/ America!

We could have a combo of Jim Brown, Gale Sayers, and Barry Sanders, they would struggle behind our line. I think Smith can get 3-5 yards per carry, but as this camp goes on, my biggest concerm by far is the O-line. The more I watch and hear of the defense, the more I am ok with it. The offensive line is a different story all together.

I'm with you

but, as I said before, he will not create much on his own from the backfield or fter getting hit. This line, which is rag tag, needs to make holes for him.

Portland Oregon these days.
I think Smith could put up amazing numbers -- IF the O line helps him out. My concern is that the O-line will be improving all season, while Smith may slow down a bit toward the last few games.

We need a rb that is great at picking up the blitz and protecting rhe QB. And we happen to have maybe the best ever at doing that.
