Emmitt Smith EMMITT SMITH Emmitt James Smith III (born May 15, ) is a former college and professional American football running back who became the National Football League's. It didn't matter to me what position I played; I just loved being out there. He had my size, he was my build. In , he missed all of training camp and the first 2 regular season games. You can start with his mother, Mary, and her influence relative to setting goals and work ethic. Thank you both for the invaluable contributions you have made to my life. Without you there is no me. This article was most recently revised and updated by Amy Tikkanen , Corrections Manager. Because what you have been able to do for my family and me throughout my football career and to this day, thank you so much. He also clinched the first of four rushing titles, after tallying yards against the Atlanta Falcons in the season finale. The next season saw Smith led the league with 21 rushing touchdowns, a new career-high despite battling a hamstring pull late in the season. You made it very clear to me that the football was the most important thing on the football field. So maybe more athletes have to go out and show the world that we know how to run a company too. He also became the first player to win the league's rushing title and the Super Bowl in the same season. In addition to the acknowledgments I am privileged to make today, this moment creates a unique opportunity, an opportunity to share critical life principles. He's not fast. On October 31, his rushing yards against the Philadelphia Eagles set the single-season franchise record. He followed that season by rushing for a league-leading 1, yards. He also added receptions for 3, yards and 11 touchdowns. And you know what, I am, I am, I am now the all-time leading rusher smiling. Now I need to take a moment to reflect upon the people who have helped shape the foundation of who I am as a man and also a football player. My father's words supported me. Most NFL owners today have never really played the sport. There was one other big playmaker on the field: running back Emmitt Smith. It has truly, truly, truly been an honor to go into battle with two of the greatest champions I've ever played with. The Cowboys lost both contests with rookie Derrick Lassic running in his place. That closed the door to score that touchdown..

  • The Following Players Comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set
    COLLEGE FOOTBALL GREAT TEAMS OF THE PAST 2 SET ROSTER The following players comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards. 1971 NEBRASKA 1971 NEBRASKA 1972 USC 1972 USC OFFENSE DEFENSE OFFENSE DEFENSE EB: Woody Cox End: John Adkins EB: Lynn Swann TA End: James Sims Johnny Rodgers (2) TA TB, OA Willie Harper Edesel Garrison Dale Mitchell Frosty Anderson Steve Manstedt John McKay Ed Powell Glen Garson TC John Hyland Dave Boulware (2) PA, KB, KOB Tackle: John Grant Tackle: Carl Johnson Tackle: Bill Janssen Chris Chaney Jeff Winans Daryl White Larry Jacobson Tackle: Steve Riley John Skiles Marvin Crenshaw John Dutton Pete Adams Glenn Byrd Al Austin LB: Jim Branch Cliff Culbreath LB: Richard Wood Guard: Keith Wortman Rich Glover Guard: Mike Ryan Monte Doris Dick Rupert Bob Terrio Allan Graf Charles Anthony Mike Beran Bruce Hauge Allan Gallaher Glen Henderson Bruce Weber Monte Johnson Booker Brown George Follett Center: Doug Dumler Pat Morell Don Morrison Ray Rodriguez John Kinsel John Peterson Mike McGirr Jim Stone ET: Jerry List CB: Jim Anderson TC Center: Dave Brown Tom Bohlinger Brent Longwell PC Joe Blahak Marty Patton CB: Charles Hinton TB.

  • NFL's Goodell Doesn't Agree with Kaepernick's Actions
    Sports FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2016 43 T Romo heads list of declining NFL players DALLAS: Tony Romo followed the best season of his career in 2014 with one injury after another. The question no longer is whether Romo can duplicate the success he had just two years ago when he led the Dallas Cowboys to 12 wins and the NFC East title. Rather, people wonder if can stay healthy to play at all. Romo missed 12 games in 2015 after he broke his left collarbone twice. He begins this year on the sideline after suffering a back injury in the presea- son. The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback is clearly on the decline. Here are other players who could trend downward in 2016: Jason Peters, LT, Eagles: He’s an eight-time Pro Bowl pick and two-time All-Pro who has missed only two games in the past three seasons. But the 34-year-old Peters isn’t the dominant blocker he used to be. He has 18 penalties and 12 sacks allowed over the last two seasons. Chris Johnson, RB, Cardinals: Johnson was on his way to his sev- enth 1,000-yard season in eight years before getting hurt last sea- son. He ran for 814 yards in 11 games. His injury gave David Johnson an opportunity to play more and he was dynamic. The Cardinals are in good hands with either Johnson, but expect David to get the ball more than Chris. Demaryius Thomas, WR, Broncos: Thomas had 105 catches for 1,304 yards and six TDs in 2015 despite Peyton Manning’s rapid decline.
