Dallas Cowboys legend Emmitt Smith had a lot of success running the football that led to winning three Super Bowls. With the departure of 2014-15 NFL leading rusher DeMarco Murray to Philadelphia, Smith had some interesting remarks.

Of course, this is a lot to say about Murray coming off a career season and many question if Murray will have success in Philly similar to what Smith is saying.
However, Murray deserves to let his play speak for him and in Chip Kelly’s system has a great shot at duplicate season with their fast-uptempo offense and his familiarity with new quarterback Sam Bradford should help tremendously.
Now Murray will miss those huge holes that the Cowboys offensive line created, which the Eagles are not in their class though Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy enjoyed great years behind that same decent line.
Who will have the last laugh Murray or Smith ?
Can’t wait for the NFC East drama to begin.
