08:02 AM ET 01.31 | Emmitt Smith isn't unlike a lot of Cowboys fans these days. [Smith] admitted Wednesday that he's frustrated with the Dallas Cowboys. But he doesn't think Jerry Jones deserves the blame and adds that Jason Garrett is doing well as the team's head coach. That's a summary of what the NFL's all-time rushing leader had to say when he was asked a few Cowboys-related questions during a Super Bowl week interview in New Orleans. ... After finishing 8-8 and missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season, Smith said the Cowboys have left him "very frustrated." "I know that they're working hard, but I can't put my finger on why they cannot turn the corner," Smith told East Texas' 92.1 ESPN radio station.

All Emmitt has to do is look at that offensive line. The answer will come to him in a flash.

And Joe Namath is upset with the Jets, and Fran Tarkenton is upset with the Vikings, and <insert former player attempting to show his high and might attitude> is upset with <insert at one time said player's team was good but now isn't Super Bowl contenders>.

Eventually the pain will go away Emmitt. Just ask Bob Griese.

Jerry Jones is also very frustrated with the Cowboys. And Otis, too, I'd imagine.

Jerry only has himself to blame. Otis is an innocent bystander. HA!

"But he doesn't think Jerry Jones deserves the blame and adds that Jason Garrett is doing well as the team's head coach."

Apparently Emmitt's idea of who deserves blame and what constitute's "doing well" is very different from most people's.

Yup...Emmitt would have had a shorter career behind this line.

Tony too...

Cut that bonehead Free once the SuperBowl is done and sign another RT and Guard and things will perk up quick on O.

Speak your mind Emmitt... Jerry doesn't sign your checks anymore.

January 31, 2013  11:44 AM ET

What is it with former Cowpie players that they still kiss Jones wrinkly butt? Are they still on payroll? Doesn't matter who the coach is....he will be a puppet, like Marvin Lewis.

Stopped reading after he said he doesn't think Jerry Jones is the problem.

he can't put his finger on why they can't turn the corner! LOL. aikman and irvin have voiced their concerns too, but were a little more specific. emmitt just isn't going to pubically acknowledge what everyone already knows.... he wants be in those Paps John's commercials with JJ.
