I believe this is the cause behind Jerry not wanting to pay players. Magically guys been getting hurt after they become highest paid. It’s starting to look like Jerry is sabotaging his players and team out of pride. He always claims they don’t need a player because the line is so good anyone can run through it. He is always wrong.

LC, I am old enough to have watched Dobbler play in Texas stadium. My Dad commenting on how mean he was to be a guard . I also got to see Randy White and Harvey Martin beat up on people. But my Lord I enjoyed watching Eric Williams just brutalize players! Those were the good old days of football. I’m afraid moneyball and brands have replaced the football we played and loved. Hats off to you and the great ones of whom you remind us

I think that there should be an award named after him for the player every year that makes the most out of his God given ability.

Anyone, during this clip, hear Pat Summerall calling games on Sundays? Now that was football must see and hear!

Excellent video...hopefully viewers realize that this type of football is not tolerated in today's game (fans as well), definitely not players fault. It was vicious, especially on turf, but it was real. Enjoyed watching this HBCU/Cowboy beast Erik Williams do his thang!

Jimmy's Johnson. Made that possible thanks Jimmy

Have anybody noticed that Emmett smith had the best offensive line in football.And when he was traded to the Cardinals he looked average.

Larry CHOO CHOO Allen

Offense Line!!!!!

Love this video. Emmitt will always be my favorite RB.

I thought that honor belonged to Deacon Jones with the head slap,or Conrad Dobler or some of the old Steelers linebackers.

Nobody never talked about him one of the smooth running backs beside Marcus Allen that ever was

I agree! He is the most underated player of all time! He was not the fastest, by a long shot, he was not the biggest, by a long shot, he was not the strongest, by a long shot, and he was not the quuickest by a long shot, but he has great balance to and he ran smart as heck, and he worked his butt off, and that is one reason he was so durable which made him the leading rusher if all time! He was also very determined! I noticed how he was blocking defensive linemen much bigger than him , but he kept his balanced and held them off!!!

Trent Williams is tougher then Eric Williams

Emmitt Smith was a BEAST already coming out of Florida. But the Cowboys actually TEACH the nuances of RB play to every RB who gets drafted - at least, that's the system of skills that the great Tom Landry used to use for decades - one that many other teams have never had. This is coming from a Cowboys hater, LOL......

i think Steve Atwater might qualify for that club you’re asking about at the end of the video. I don’t think he ever made a wrap tackle in his entire career. Totally unnecessary sometimes. But he was obviously trying to intimidate the offense. Maybe Bill Romanowski? Suh is an obvious one, but he’s modern. In the 90’s it’s hard to find guys like this. EW is a throwback to the 70’s and 80’s for sure.

Hail to PITT

He had a perfect offensive line. He did bare minimum with that amazing line. I lived the time. All hype.

thejoshuayoderblog.blogspot.com/2024/11/the-pottsville-maroons-1925-nfl.html Emmitt Smith in my humble opinion is one of the most humble guys ever in the history of the NFL. Seeing him be so appreciative of his teammates is something I always admired.

Emmit was a beast when he was in his prime he was unstoppable

Your attention to detail is unparalleled by anyone. It was like you went inside my mind and pulled out every memory and had me scarfing down all that nostalgia. I remember the pain of the late 80s and in just a few years, it changed in a flash. The Niners were my favorite team to hate by far...even more than the divisional foes. Seeing a Merton Hanks after an interception, Ken Norton in a Niners uniform or Steve Young's face was enough to send you into a blind rage 🤣 Thanks for all you do with these awesome videos. Certainly makes a dumpster fire season much more bearable!

GOAT 🐐 man Emmitt James Smith III... Baddest MF ever bar none!!! Thank you for this amazingly excellent video, a true illustration of Emmitt's superior vision, patience, and ability to make defenders miss... There is only a need for 2nd greatest running back of all time...

I’m eagles fan always have been I hated Emmett Smith I wanted him to break a leg every time he came through the line saying that his greatest strength was durability he never got hurt and yes he did have the best line in the NFL for 10 years

Sanders was better in small spaces, medium spaces, large spaces, open spaces, clean spaces, dirty spaces, cold spaces, hot spaces, etc, etc, etc.

Wow! Excellent

Any clear high school videos?

From my hometown, Aliquippa (Hopewell), Pennsylvania

imagine Derick Hendry having the offensive line he had the luxury of running with :)

Thank you so much for this. Emmitt was my first sports hero as a kid. Beautiful video. I appreciate you!

This u should made the connection between how they did Terrell Owens & Dez Bryant. Yep, but also Dez going to Roc Nation ruin him in some sorta way . Overall, Stephen Jones war with Dez after Dez uses some his connections to exposed they contractual negotiating.

I watched TD whole carrer from college to pro his hilight reel is equal to Walter Payton and OJ Simpson I mean I wasn't a cowboy fan but I love to watch Tony run that football 😃🧐👍💯

Opposite of Zeke

CATCH 22 & YOU STILL HAVEN’T CAUGHT HIM YET

Damn Troy in the pocket - so sweet.

Great Insight On Emmitt Smith Running Style. He has great contact unique ability to run make something in tight thin running lane

Dude been during this in since highschool. So to say it because his OL says alot about those who slighting Emmitt or playing favorites. Sure guys have more talent interms of breakout speed. His yards after contact his patient his balance. Unique ability to use change of pace , as well run against defender outside shoulder, which cause them off balance

Awesome breakdown. This is why E-double will always be the goat. He did more with less.

Looks a lot like the cowboys now. Not tough enough when big games comes. We got great player from philly, but he just gets mad and pouts on the sideline while disappearing late in most games then dont say a word when he dont get his stats. Spends more time fighting his teamates during training camp then fighting to win in games. He's good good, but not a Reggie or an eric wlliams. We need physically and mentally tough

B.S. Too Tall Jones.

Incredible balance and burst. Just imagine if he had 4.2 speed

I love Dorsett but emmitt Smith is number 1#

This was the best props of Emmitt I have seen. I been trying to tell them for years and I love Barry. But I believe. Emmitt was everything consistent with winning. Nothing was wasted and it all came together.

Look up Doug Atkins!

Really enjoyed your video brother

One of the most " Pure Tacklers " to have ever played the game.

I always thought the meanest man in pro football was Conrad Dobler of the then St. Louis Cardinals.

that was excellent ------- I always knew from having watched Emmits career he was special but i couldn't quite put my finger on it i think you have done that here ---so much deeper than he knew how not to get hit , when to go down, or 20 carries plus a game or Emmitt up the middle for four quarters or his power and speed and he did have great players helping , Walter had almost none of those things except power and speed and what you have found ...the magic...Emmit is number 1 and rightly so , Walter was the best , then Emmitt although Emmitt will always be number1 because his record is unbreakable----Thank you barry bonds----go cowboys thanks for the video and the magic of Emmitt i could have watched another hour--- looks like mikes time is sorry to say , can we get gruden or bilichek, should we try to salvage this season , would new coach provided its bilichek or gruden or someone of that caliber, get the boys back on track---What about schottenheimer or zimmer or garrett----and one last question am i alone thinking we need a rolando mcclain or even 2 rolandos if you know what i mean i do like wilson and overshown and parsons we need a roy or a darren or eugene, dont we

Great video and graphic breakdown analysis Prof. LC! The physical conditioning that Emmitt practiced had to be insane. Not only to think about what I'm about to do, but to be able to physically execute it. That combination along with his relatively short stature, made him elusive and then his speed takes over after the jukes and various missed tackles. Emmitt is a living legend.

His technique was to have the best o-line ever assembled up to that point. Lets be honest here his durability was legendary but his skill was nothing compared to Barry Sanders, imagine him on that team.

Im 52 and 1 Sunday i watched this man run thru a whole franchise with a broken shoulder. I knew then he was for real.
