has been so good through the first 11 games of his rookie
season that he might
jersey">Linus Ullmark Jersey just be better than
Emmitt Smith. That's not just crazy talk either, that's
coming from someone who probably actually knows: Jimmy
Johnson. During a Johnson was asked if he thought
Elliott was already better than Smith ever was from a
"skill-wise" standpoint. The short answer: Yes. "Norv
Turner and I were talking about this a couple of days
ago," Johnson said . "Elliott's bigger, stronger, maybe
even a step faster than Emmitt Smith, but they're both
very similar. I think, you know, Ezekiel Elliott is a
more powerful runner. He runs over people. Both of 'em
can make people mi s, so you don't really get a big shot
on 'em. But Elliott will take on tacklers, whereas, you
know, Emmitt never did this." That's a pretty
jersey">Rasmus Dahlin Jersey strong statement
coming from Johnson, who won two Super Bowls during his
five years in Dallas. However, the former coach did give
Smith the edge in two categories: Longevity and vision.
"Emmitt Smith had longevity. In profe sional football,
running backs don't last very long. Emmitt Smith was the
exception," Johnson said. "He lasted a long time, and he
played at a high level for a long time." Of course,
there's no reason Elliott can't last as long as Smith did
as long he sabres-men-jersey">Buffalo Sabres Men Jersey
continues to stay healthy. As for the vision thing,
Johnson pointed out that Elliott has a better offensive
line in front of him, which means Smith had to have
better vision to get through holes. "Emmitt might have
been a little bit better vision-wise, but I really don't
think the power of the talent in front of him, the
offensive line, was as good as the power in Elliott's
line," Johnson said. "This line is a bigger, stronger
group men-jersey">Henri Jokiharju Men Jersey than what I
had with the Cowboys." Comparing a running back who
played for 15 years (Smith) to a running back who's only
played for 11 games (Elliott) isn't exactly easy, so
here's a more apples-to-apples comparison. Through 11
games, Elliott has 1,199 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns.
Through the first 11 games of his rookie year (1990),
Smith had 522 yards and four touchdowns. Smith finished
that 1990 season with 937 yards and was named rookie of
the year. The Cowboys would end up finishing 7-9 during
Smith's rookie year.

pace for 1,744 yards in 2016, a number that Smith only
topped once during his in Dallas.
