| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01  | As a Cowboys fan, this is the only thing we have to look forward to... IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Emmitt Smith is starting to realize just how close he is to becoming the NFL's career rushing leader. Smith took over the No. 2 spot from Barry Sanders after rushing for 85 yards Sunday in Dallas' 32-21 loss to San Diego. ``It's like 'Wow, it won't be long now.' One more to go, one more to go,'' Smith said. Smith increased his career total to 15,291 yards, 22 yards more than Sanders. Smith is 1,435 yards from Walter Payton's record 16,726. But it was another bittersweet day for Smith, who along with Darren Woodson are the only players left from the Cowboys' three Super Bowl-winning teams in the first half of the 1990s. ``Very mixed feelings. You want to be standing up here talking about a record in a good situation where the team has just come off a big win,'' Smith said. ``I feel good about moving forward. At the same time, I feel rejected because we didn't win the game. ``I'm probably downplaying it more than I should, but I have no reason to be enthusiastic,'' he said. Smith passed Sanders with a 14-yard run on his 10th carry of the game, and his last of the first half. He finished with 17 attempts. On the game's first play, Smith took a handoff straight up the middle for 16 yards. He overtook Sanders with 1:18 left in the first half, taking a handoff, bouncing outside and toward the sideline, where he was tackled by former teammate Ryan McNeil. ``He wanted the record and we didn't want to give him the record. That shows you how great a player he is,'' said McNeil, who played for the Cowboys last season. ``We've got a pretty good defense. He deserved it. He's a great runner.'' San Diego allowed just 44 yards rushing in its season-opening 30-3 victory over Washington. ``If there was anything positive, it was Emmitt moving up to the upper echelon of running backs,'' Cowboys coach Dave Campo said. ``He ran very effective. He ran well enough to win, but we didn't get anything else done.'' The Cowboys, 5-11 a year ago, have lost their first two games. The 32-year-old Smith began this season -- his 12th -- 1,560 yards behind Payton. He hasn't had that many in a season since running for 1,773 yards in 1995, when the Cowboys won the last of their three Super Bowls in four years. Payton played 13 seasons in the NFL, while Sanders suddenly retired after the 1999 season -- his 10th. ``This record should have been gone two years ago. He should have had it,'' Smith said of Sanders. ``Just to be compared in the same breath of Barry Sanders, Walter Payton or any other guy on that list, it's an honor.'' Smith took over No. 2 on the NFL career rushing list on a day when the Cowboys inducted another No. 22, ``Bullet'' Bob Hayes, into their Ring of Honor. ``It brought a chill to me,'' said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. ``It's fitting on a day when a No. 22 is put in the Ring of Honor that this No. 22 would reach such a milestone.'' The next milestone for Smith will be the biggest, but he won't be consumed by the chase for Payton. ``I'll take it one game at a time, one day at a time, enjoy my teammates, enjoy the game and try to have the excitement and enthusiasm to play the game that I've had since day one,'' Smith said. ``Those are the things I'm trying to hold on to.''

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I am a die hard giants fan. I hate the cowboys very much, and always have. However, Emmitt Smith earned my respect when he played on the last day of the 1994(?) season against the Giants in Giants Stadium for the division crown with a seperated shoulder. He practically won the division for the Cowboys and led them to an improbable win. Of course that made me hate his guts even more back then, but after a while, i gained tons of respect for that guy. Emmitt is one of the all time greats in football history. | ||||
