Emmitt was competitive, tough, relentless, strong, had great vision, stayed healthy (an underrated skillset), & had great stamina. Emmit's was a complete back as he could catch & block very well out of the backfield. He wasn't the fastest or flashiest back, but was very effective. That's why people to this day don't know what made him so great & they just give credit to his offensive lines. It was the little things he did that he made great. And he did it over & over for years without getting hurt so he stayed available. But Emmit would wear you down with those 3,5, 6 yard gains & keep on coming. He could carry the ball 25+ times a game as well. This impacted the whole team as his teams constantly ate up time of possession and kept his defense off the field. These are the little non-flashy elements to Emmit's game that made him great! You do that for 15+ years & you're something special.
Emmitt was so good at maintaining his speed at about 80% while he weaved through the first and second level of the defense. He rarely took a big hit because of his great vision and running style.
I watched about every carry of Emmitt's career. It is still hard for me to describe what it was that made him so good. Watching Emmitt run was mesmerizing. Most of the time he did not make dramatic cuts or or stop and go, like Barry for instance. He sort of bent and shaped his runs, glided, he often slowed to affect the angle of the defender which allowed his blockers to get a better angle on the defenders, he would even put his hand on the back of his FB. He was sooo savy, it was said that Emmitt could see what the defense did before they did it. But probably most important, he was unspeakably TOUGH and had the competitive drive of the Champion he is. Emmitt was my hero as a kid and he still is. #22.

@@danejurus69, The Oline was great and that’s what made Emmitt great? Ah no! Backwards, Emmitt was great and made the oline great. Emmitt held out in ‘95 for a new contract. Cowboys lost their first 2 games that year. One player shouted, to the coaches and Jerry, after the second loss, we need 22 get 22 in here!!! He signed his new contract shortly after and was back in the backfield the next week.What does that tell ya?
@@danejurus69 name his online and where they were drafted/or not drafted lmao! Jimmy Johnson was ahead of the times to get big, strong, behemoth men... to work together, for ONE goal, on a team with a cannon arm QB and a Moss like WR in the 90s, like "playmaker!"
He was definitely one of the great ones. He just made it look so damn easy. And just when you think you got a bead on him, he leaps over you. Un-stoppable spirit.
Emmitt had the best footwork of any running back I have ever seen...he always got that extra 2, 3, 4 yards after contact...his footwork was so good that later in life he easily danced his way to winner of Dancing with the Stars.
Arguments from the haters because Emmitt played with the Cowboys??? "Oh Anyone can run behind that Dallas O-line!" Derrick Lassic couldn't!! 0-2 remember!!! Tommy Agee couldn't!! Nate Newton's words, "Emmit Smith made US better!" Emmitt "Move The Chains" Smith. Emmitt "First Down" Smith. Emmit "Touchdown" Smith. Where was that Cowboys O-LINE in Pop Warner, High School and College At?? It's like Michael Irvin said when he and Jimmy Johnson looked at Emmitt's films before he was drafted. Irvin said, "Well if he's not that GOOD, then how is he gettin ALL these yards!!?? The Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of RBs is how and why. Greatest vision, Defensive running style for technique, and a WHOLE LOTTTA HEART!!
I mean you can clearly see the man running through wide open gaps..hrs not magical. Yh y don't just open big seems all of a sudden because he's back there
@@chrisrobinson8339 Yeah you tried. They were great for 5 yrs with 3 Super Bowls. They weren't even as great as those Steelers Lines in the 70s, or 49ers Lines in the 80s. Both won more didn't they🤔🤔 The bulk of them were on the first 2 until free agency hit. Emmitt's 8,000+ yards in HS, and being Florida's All-Time leading rusher for decades until finally broken speaks for itself. Back2Back HS championships from a HS who won 3 games in 3 years. Revived a sanctioned UF school and set the foundation for those 90s Gators and beyond. Go watch "The Great Wall of Dallas", and Emmitt Smith's "A Football Life". Go debunk that truth.
He was great in high school, college, and NFL. You don't get into both the college and pro football hall of fames if you are just a regular running back. Emmitt did both and has 3 Super Bowl rings to show for it.
It’s sort of counterintuitive thinking that Emmitt might be one of the only classic rbs who could thrive in today’s game. Not blazing fast, not especially big…but a wizard at making people miss and maneuvering through traffic. Guys were flying by him after a missed tackle. He has that X factor of vision combined with total body awareness and anticipation. He would still be really good in the league. Young Emmitt of course
This was an excellent compilation of Emmitt and gives us an opportunity to see examples of his development. Not necessarily flashy but relentless and one of the best runners in traffic I've ever seen. Thank you PC.
I think because Emmitt got so much exposure with Dallas there is a bit of backlash against him. I hear a lot that he wasnt as good as Barry Sanders. Maybe he was or wasnt. Ioved watching them both !!! But I think because he wasnt as "flashy" as Barry, it is automatically assumed he wasnt as good. Emmitts vision and as Nicholas mentions , could keep that speed at 80% until the opening, plus the power to break tackles and makes cuts i think gets him undersold. Barry was AMAZING and Dallas definitly had the better teams of course. But Barry didnt run behind poor O-Lines. Lomas Brown< Mike Compton, Kevin Glover,Mike Utley, etc etc. those are pro bowl linemen. Emmitt played against D-1 talent in high school, agaisnt the Miami's and Bamas in college and of course with the Cowboys. thats A LOT of yards !! A LOT !! !it wasnt because he was lucky.
Barry did run against Defenses like Oklahoma and Nebraska in college too. However, I do agree with your statement in general. Emmitt Smith wasn't flashy, but the guy was relentless, was extremely well-rounded, and had otherworldly vision. He certainly had more power than Barry.
Sanders was a more dynamic runner. Especially in the open field. However, I'll always say that Emmitt was the more COMPLETE running back. Short yardage, goal line, 3rd down back, pass blocker, etc.
Man THANK YOU for KNOWING YOUR FOOTBALL HISTORY BRO!! GOODNESS!!!...And doesn't Emmitt STILL have the most yards in High School Football history!!?? Hell I believe so in Pop Warner Football as well!!?? Where's was that Cowboys O-Line THEN FOR ALL OF THAT!!?? YOU SIR are CORRECT!! The Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or RBs. Methodical and just DAMN GOOD!!
@@thegorn68 Barry Sanders had the best moves of all time but that's where it stops! The Sanders myth, he had no offensive line. It's impossible for any RB, including Sanders to do so well without a good offensive line! I agree with you, Emmitt Smith was the more complete RB out of the two. I'll take Emmitt bc I want my QB to be able to have a chance of getting his passes off with a good blocking back & good hands out if the backfield!
I got covid and was stuck at home for a couple of weeks, so on TH-cam I found Dallas Cowboys games and watched the '89-'94 seasons all in order to watch the team progress. Most of the Cowboys O-line was intact. Stepnoski was there, Nate Newton, Kevin Gogan, Mark Tuinei. The offensive line didn't start looking good until Emmitt started hitting his stride, starting with the Redskins game week 4 1990. Emmitt had a QB understanding of defenses from a RB perspective. That was his edge. Wasn't the most physically gifted, but Contact balance and vision, that's what made him special.
Anthony Williams, from Tampa's Plant High School. I played ball with him in jr high and high school. He was a man among boys and a great person. Haven't seen him since we graduated in 84.
Emmitt Smith and Shaun Alexander have become the most under appreciated runners of football history. Maybe the best vision and ability to run thru traffic of any backs.
He didn't have the level of NFL success in college because FL didn't have the linemen caliber and fullback as the Cowboys did. That's the truth of the proof.
I saw every home game he played in. At Fla Field. He had you on the edge of your seat almost every play. He would take hits from tacklers and use it as momentum to keep going forward. Nobody had vision and cuts like him moving full speed. His vison and and anticipation was Gretzky like.
@@michaeljoshuabach1987 he said it right. You can keep Barry, we got the alltime leader in yards, attempts and td's. 3 time champ as well. Sounds like goat material to me
@@michaeljoshuabach1987 if it's and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry christmas. Emmit consistency was a result of his vision. Barry was a one trick pony.
Emmitt used your pursuit against you. He looks ahead and already has a juke or cut move ready when he sees you. If you're going full speed at Emmitt you're going to miss and if you're moving too slow you're going to miss. Don't even bother with weak arm tackles.
@@wasteofoxygen2198 I know, aren't you tired of the Barry Sanders myth!? He didn't have a good O-Line! What a load of crap. People constantly reiterate what they hear on tv too much and don't look at things for themselves & think for themselves! I've watch Barry Sanders highlights for years now & 9 out of 10 of his runs had some damn good holes to run threw! Excellent blocking. I noticed when Gayle Sayers said these things then everyone started saying them. I love PockyCandy's video's but I refuse to watch his Gayle Sayers video bc I don't like Gayle & his bullshit opinions! Lmao.
Man, he just glides. It's crazy cause it's not liek he's goign extremely fast, He just is so smooth with it that it's hard to get a good hit on him. I guess that's why he's a hall of famer
Can you also upload Johnny Bailey highlights? Texas A&I running back, three-time Harlon Hill trophy winner, all-time rushing champion in college football history...
I just looked around youtube for as many games as I could find. After I made the video, I found out that this guy/gal posted all of the 2002 games on his channel: th-cam.com/play/PLrSaW08WRirm_CeaHWOsCBsDkNT0KxhhT.html
I came he curios about the legacy of enmity smith and coming away convinced he was special. As a tampa bay buc fan I critically look at Leonard 4 nette and wonder way some of his runs aren’t for more yards. I now know why.
Captain Spartan 04 - with all due respect, this is the "Classical Tailback" series. Of the 4 players you just requested highlights of, only one is an RB. And quite frankly, he is NOT a "classical runner" in any shape, way, or form whatsoever. Not now, and not at Univ. of Louisville. As a lifelong practitioner and avid student of this now dying/diluted art form (at the collegiate & professional levels of American football), please give greater consideration to your words in this arena. I myself was nearly offended by your request. If you want clips of QB or pass rushers, please revise your search. These grounds are for "runners only."
Emmitt is Already At HIS Top Speed First Step... While Everyone On D Is Trying To Figure Whats Up... Then He's By You... Now His Top Speed Wasn't The Fastest. So You Probably Can Catch Him Sometimes Down Field, Alah Giants (Shoulder Injury)....But That 4th Gear, Then Being So Cunning And Elusive Out The Gate?? Whoa... Got Torpedoed Against The Raiders... (Where Was The O Line There.) Bounced off. Scored. TOUGH Man. In His Freshman Year against Alabama He Didn't Start. Upperclassmen Running Backs did nothing. He Came In. Dominated. O Line? Florida?... Come On... Emmitt On Every Level. ALL DAY. Plus Detroit DESTROYED The Cowboys in The Playoffs... Shhhh... O Line.. Knock It Off.
This highlight reel is terrible honestly. Shows way too many short runs. It's supposed to be highlights not every college run he had for positive yards.
If Emmitt was overrated, why does he own so many records. And if Emmitt is so overrated then what does that make you? Another question, have you ever played football before? And at what level? Have you ever lead the nation in HS or the NFL before? Have you ever won a Superbowl? Yeah man, you suck bro! You're the most overrated loser just like the rest of them. I'm blown away by people like you that have accomplished nothing in the sport, yet you pass judgement on a man that has accomplished more than any RB in history. What's crazy us Emmitt Smith is the most consistent RB in history. And when I say consistent I mean consistently great at the highest level on every level he's ever played on in the history of the game. What kind of history have you made & created for yourself & your teams to call the most accomplished & arguably the greatest RB in the history of the game? Bc he did it. Did you do anything to even have a valued opinion about him? Go ahead I'm waiting for your answers so that I can destroy you with more of his accomplishments over your own.

he could never break a tackle like the great ones. He was very elusive and knew how to follow his blocks for sure

What was the piano score at the beginning of this film?

that's such a bad assessment considering he had nearly 1000 yards in his 15th year for the lowly at the time Cardinals. he made lines look stellar.

Captain Spartan 04 - with all due respect, this is the "Classical Tailback" series. Of the 4 players you just requested highlights of, only one is an RB. And quite frankly, he is NOT a "classical runner" in any shape, way, or form whatsoever. Not now, and not at Univ. of Louisville.
As a lifelong practitioner and avid student of this now dying/diluted art form (at the collegiate & professional levels of American football), please give greater consideration to your words in this arena. I myself was nearly offended by your request. If you want clips of QB or pass rushers, please revise your search.
These grounds are for "runners only."
For what it's worth, I am planning on making videos of other positions at some point. Especially dominant defensive players like Lawrence Taylor.
Why I am a Gator fan
E. Smith ran for ever 200 yards against Alabama n he didn't even start!!
And people say it was because of how good the line was well this is not Dallas and it looks the same thinks goat
Dude was never fast..just great balance, vision and patience.
One person ain't tackling emmit
Smith vs sanders
Emmitt is Already At HIS Top Speed First Step... While Everyone On D Is Trying To Figure Whats Up... Then He's By You... Now His Top Speed Wasn't The Fastest. So You Probably Can Catch Him Sometimes Down Field, Alah Giants (Shoulder Injury)....But That 4th Gear, Then Being So Cunning And Elusive Out The Gate?? Whoa... Got Torpedoed Against The Raiders... (Where Was The O Line There.) Bounced off. Scored. TOUGH Man. In His Freshman Year against Alabama He Didn't Start. Upperclassmen Running Backs did nothing. He Came In. Dominated. O Line? Florida?... Come On... Emmitt On Every Level. ALL DAY. Plus Detroit DESTROYED The Cowboys in The Playoffs... Shhhh... O Line..
Knock It Off.
A very cunning running back
Great stats, but they don't touch Bo Jackson.
He had a great OL and blocking FB in college too that’s what made him great
Good grief he had great blocking his entire career. One thing I’ll give him is he was one of the most durable players.
That Florida OL was just as dominant as the cowboys OL
😂 He is the common denominator. He is a player that makes everyone around him better like Jordan, Brady ect..
@@HiFi5280 yep, like explain why Pierce makes the UF o-line look good vs someone like Davis who just makes them look average.
This guy couldn't carry Barry Sanders' jock😂
This highlight reel is terrible honestly. Shows way too many short runs.
It's supposed to be highlights not every college run he had for positive yards.
Overrated
I think the term you're looking for is "disrespected." I can't think of another all time great that gets ripped on as much as Emmitt.
If Emmitt was overrated, why does he own so many records. And if Emmitt is so overrated then what does that make you? Another question, have you ever played football before? And at what level? Have you ever lead the nation in HS or the NFL before? Have you ever won a Superbowl? Yeah man, you suck bro! You're the most overrated loser just like the rest of them. I'm blown away by people like you that have accomplished nothing in the sport, yet you pass judgement on a man that has accomplished more than any RB in history. What's crazy us Emmitt Smith is the most consistent RB in history. And when I say consistent I mean consistently great at the highest level on every level he's ever played on in the history of the game. What kind of history have you made & created for yourself & your teams to call the most accomplished & arguably the greatest RB in the history of the game? Bc he did it. Did you do anything to even have a valued opinion about him? Go ahead I'm waiting for your answers so that I can destroy you with more of his accomplishments over your own.
@@Supermanfan99 LeBron too, lol.
