JASON FITZ: All proper, Dak’s making an attempt to get to that stage this yr, some saying he is having an MVP season. You watch him. Do you suppose Dak’s an MVP this yr?
EMMITT SMITH: Properly, I feel he is shifting in that class, however, you already know, MVPs, they lead their groups to nice championship video games. And to not say that he is not that form of man, however that half is but to be decided. Anybody can have an incredible season. However can you’ve gotten an incredible season repeatedly, yr after yr after yr?
To me, nice seasons are particular person awards. And they’re nice for patting individuals on the again and saying nice job this yr. However for Dak, I do know in his coronary heart, if he was the MVP and the Dallas Cowboys didn’t make it to the NFC Championship recreation, it could be price nothing. And so for him, I feel he would quite be within the NFC Championship recreation with an opportunity to win that recreation and go to the Tremendous Bowl than to develop into MVP.
JASON FITZ: Properly, you clearly performed with one of many greats at huge receiver. Proper now CeeDee Lamb is making an attempt to be one of many greats. What do you see from CeeDee?
EMMITT SMITH: Properly, I feel CeeDee, and I feel Mike McCarthy– and I mentioned this a few weeks in the past. It’s incumbent upon the offensive coordinator to ensure that he create alternatives for his key gamers to make performs, and get them concerned within the recreation as early or as usually as it is advisable. The ball doesn’t at all times need to go to CeeDee. However you positively acquired to ensure he will get his touches and his alternatives to catch the ball.
And to disguise it to the place you bought the protection truly excited about the place is he going to line up at and what he’ll do. CeeDee has been an superior soccer participant for the Dallas Cowboys, ever since he acquired drafted. There isn’t any doubt about it. And what it, and the numbers he is been placing up over the past 4 or 5 weeks have been phenomenal.
And Dak has been enjoying nice as properly. So I am not shocked. I am not stunned. And I feel CeeDee shouldn’t be, if he is not within the high 5 huge receivers within the Nationwide Soccer League, he is positively within the high 4.
