Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith, who is often invited to PFT Live during Super Bowl week, would have been eligible for induction only by virtue of his Friday appearance.
The entire video is included. Emmitt was just as entertaining and witty as ever. He has been quite scathing in his criticism of the Cowboys as of late.
It all began with a straightforward inquiry: After a 48-32 home playoff defeat to the Packers, were you shocked that owner Jerry Jones chose not to remove head coach Mike McCarthy?
“I was taken aback,” Emmitt remarked. “As a player, I can attest to how sad I felt to see that product used on the field. That is not in line with the mystique, respect, or brand of the Dallas Cowboys. That isn’t a fitting depiction of the brand. Jerry can now grasp this type of language. The brand, is that correct? a star. Everything needed to be immaculate, but that wasn’t the case here. That was really disheartening, not just for me but also for a lot of our admirers, especially those who were asking themselves, “What is that?” It did not seem good.
I questioned Emmitt on my own belief that Jerry is just talking when he says he wants to win one more Super Bowl.
Jones “loses credibility,” Emmitt said. Additionally, you lose respect if your reputation is declining. You have no honor and you lose respect. Ultimately, I do agree to a certain extent. Changes must be made. I reasoned that the reason I was so certain [that McCarthy would be dismissed] was because there was a lot of discussion last year about “well, this might be it.” It’s okay if he doesn’t perform this year. Would you accept a playoff berth and twelve victories, but not how we were eliminated from the postseason? By which I mean, dominated. It’s as though we played outside with our hands tied behind our backs or with our heads in [the] clouds.
