Smith only had 6 carries before going out with a shoulder injury. Dallas dominated and shut down Arizona in every way. Shipp had 9 carries for 31 yards, that is not all that great. Heck Smiths replacement in Dallas, 23 carries for 59 yards, and that was against a crappy defense, thats some sucky numbers against a crappy team. Dallas has the #4 defense in the NFL, #1 offense.

you should have positive yards with 6 carries

IIRC Arizona has negative rushing yards to end the 1st half. Arizona is just bad, and its not Smiths fault.

Maybe not on the field, but he will no doubt have a postive impact on younger players. Should he retire? Probably, just like Holyfield should retire? Will either of them do it in the next year? Not likely.

Well Ricky Williams had 10 yards in first 3 quarters and finished with 39 yards total. So everybody has an off game.

do you guys know NOTHING about football?? Negative YARDS ALWAYS mean that your blocking up front SUX, unless you have ACTUALLY seen Emmitt trip and fall by himself and get touched down, negative yards means he's getting tackled BEFORE he even get's to the line of scrimmage. that's not a problem with the back but with the O line.

Should he be fired for a +39 yard game?

u guys are forgetting that arizona's front line is terrible. Look at jake plummer, he was getting sacked all day because of that line.

I heard this morning that Smith's shoulder was broken from the tackle by Roy Williams.

dammit just retire

He kicked ass last game I saw him in....

when was that? Early 90's?

consistency is key, you need your backs to churn out yards game after game

If that was the case, then Tomlinson would be out of a job. Every time he has a "breakout" game, he follows it up with a crappy performance...
