Emmitt Smith still has it.

not a bad day for an old man.

64 yds on 13 carries. is pretty good. If the D had played half way decently and kept the game close he probably would have gotten 10 to 12 more carries and 30 to 40 more yards.

he was right, he is still good enough to be a starter in the NFL.

what do you mean he can do much better??

he got 64 yards on 13 carries. thats VERY GOOD. the only reason he didn't get more carries is because they got so far behind so early that the offense went mostly air.

yeah 64 yards is pretty good, and actually its very close to his career avg, but i just expect more from him, like 100 yards every game, he says he can do 1200 yards again this season, but from the looks of it he might not get 1000

again, you are not reading. do you know anything about football at all??

VERY few runners will average 100 yds / 13 carries. THIRTEEN CARRIES. also it wasn't because they were giving it to the other backs, it was because THEY WERE THROWING THE BALL BECAUSE THEY WERE SO FAR BEHIND.

again, 64 YDS on 13 Carries is VERY VERY GOOD.

I agree. If he gets his carries, he can be productive still. Arizona has a very weak passing game though and teams are just gonna keep putting 8 in the box.
