LaDanian Tomlinson agrees with Emmitt Smith’s comments on DeMarco Murray
Emmitt Smith made comments on DeMarco Murray about him trying to run someone over rather than trying to make a guy miss, and now Ladanian Tomlinson is verifying Emmitt’s comments.
“As a guy that watches a lot of film, Emmitt is correct,” Tomlinson said, via DFW.com. “There was a lot of times, and DeMarco is a very physical runner and instead of making that last guy miss and taking it for 50 or 60, he would try and run him over. That’s just his style and he would end up getting tackled for 20 instead of 50. So Emmitt is right in that sense, but at the same time, one thing that I do respect about DeMarco is he knows his strengths. He is not a juke guy, he’s a downhill, physical runner.”
What do you think? Will DeMarco be as successful in Philly? It will be interesting to see if he can return to his form.
