True, but that wasn't Emmitt's fault. As to what he thinks about Dallas all one has to do is go find the article Jo wrote warly in last years preseason.
Wiz, I hope this addresses your questions as well:
I agree that is was not emmitts fault. Sort of. In my opinion, If he had not been running his mouth about a "diamond surrounded by trash", Roy Williams would not have taken that vicious shot that sidelined him for a month. Burning bridges = real real bad.
That said, I still believe Emmitt is a class act, who DID have something left in the tank to give for last year. But last season was such a disaster, including his injury, that we'll never be able to quantify just how much WAS in the tank. Now E is a year older, and I really think its questionable if he can still play at a level that a playoff team needs its starting running back to play at.
IF we would have had decent coaching AND a healthy offensive line all year, AND E would have stayed healthy all year, I honestly, and firmly believe that E could have gotten 1200 yards.
Those of you who have the 2003 Viking game on tape, go to about the end of the first quarter, when the cards went on the long 12-13 play field goal drive. ABout the 6th or 7th play, E caught a little screen pass, made a couple of moves, and 39 yards latter, he got up a gave a warriors yell at the sky that I'm sure shook the bleachers at SDS.
But time is the great equalizer, and I fear that it has caught up with E.
BLACK,
my initial impression of cheese was similar to yours. He takes an intolerable line sometimes. However, 11 is right, over the last 1100 some odd post, cheese has proved to me that he is down with the cards. If you stick around, you'll see what im talking about. And try not to call other posters a dick at least until you get over 100 posts.
Be cool, because, this is the greatest cardinals board on the net. Its not even close. longtimers (or out of towners as we are sometimes referred to) like you and me live in peace with the locals. Trolls (and jack@sses) are quickly identified and banned. Plus, we get special info because a trainer and some media types post here regularly. Try introducing yourself with a new thread. You'll get a good response.
