Dallas Cowboys legend Emmitt Smith has some “concern” following the team’s latest loss to the New Orleans Saints.
The Cowboys were soundly defeated and dominated in their home opener against the Saints, 44-19, in Week 2 on Sunday. While it’s only two weeks into the season, the Cowboys allowed touchdowns on the Saints’ first six possessions. The loss snapped a 16-game regular season home wining streak and it was their first home loss in two years.
“There is some concern because of not being able to stop the run, not being in form offensively and turning the ball over and the lack of a running game,” says Smith in a one-on-one interview. “All those things are major concerns. We have our work cut out for us; we have to go back to the drawing board. (Defensive coordinator) Mike Zimmer has to look at the defense, figure out why we gave up so many rushing yards on the ground. Were guys doing their own thing or were they running the actual scheme that he wanted them to run? That’s on players to recognize what they did, what they did not do and get it corrected.”
