Sarge Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Since it seems like a slow Redskins news night, I thought I'd ask a question. I don't know how far he has to go, but if Emmitt is close to the record during either the Turkey Day game or the last game of the season, do we let him get it? I say he!! no, he's already ran up enough yardage on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say he!! no, he's already ran up enough yardage on us. The Great Emmitt Smith has 539 more yards before he breaks the record. By the time Thanksgiving game arrives Emmitt Smith will be closing in on another milestone. First Running Back in NFL history to eclipse the 17,000 yard mark.

The Sisko Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 HE11 NO!!!!:cuss: Not only am I tired of seeing him run over, through, and around us but I also have a lot of respect for the guy. Way too much to LET him gain an inch. If he does get the record on us, I want him to earn every farging cotton pickin' micrometer of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 hey, there is nothing certain in this life. Emmitt Smith may get hurt in the preseason and never play football again or he could go on and rush for another 3 years. I think it is a silly question of whether the Redskins would LET Smith get the yardage. This is a competitive sport and players play to win. Smith is going to compete to get the yards and the Skins or any other team on the schedule have to compete to stop him. if they don't make that commitment as a team they aren't worth a damn and we might as well start over again from scratch. if I were going into a game where Smith needed yardage to break a record I would look to hold him to 15 rushes for 10 yards :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 I agree with bulldog. This is a competitive sport. And Emmitt is one heck of a competitor. I don't think he would want ANYONE to say...Oh, Ok we will LET you get the yards you need. He would want to earn every one of them. However, he won't earn them on us. :no: Blondie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 And if he needed just those 10 he's getting 5 come hell or high water. Lot's of 15 man fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtandler Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Originally posted by TXfbluvr He would want to earn every one of them. As opposed to, say, Michael Strahan and his cheap sack of Favre to get the single-season record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Emmit should have the record by game 7 so this should be a non issue. Then again if Hambrick is outperforming E Smith it could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 what would be hillarious is if he gets it the week before, and then plays us and rushes for negative yardage, therby losing the record, only to go down to a career ending injury on a sandwich between Lavar and Trotter.

That would be so SWEEEEEEET! I think we'd have a lot of fun with QBall if that happened. I honestly think the record will be long gone by the time we get to him.
