Emmitt Smith on Why the NFL Forgot the Run Game Plus Paying RBs and Team Building 4th and 1

Emmitt Smith joins 4th and 1 at Super Bowl Radio Row for a masterclass on how the league has shifted away from the run game and what that has done to the running back position. Emmitt explains the biggest disconnect is philosophy, teams chasing elite arm talent and copycat quarterback systems instead of building from the inside out with a real ground game that protects the offense and controls the game late.  He talks about why premium running back pay is mostly gone, how the league markets quarterbacks as the face of franchises, and why complete backs who can run catch and pass protect are the ones who earn the right to stay on the field and dictate matchups. He also calls out how modern systems try to put players in boxes while earlier eras expanded the position and forced defenses to account for everything.  Then Emmitt pivots into money and business, referencing the documentary The Gambler and sharing how players should think about contract leverage, marketability, taxes, and fit. His key advice do not negotiate your contract in the press and make sure you have the right quarterback and situation if you want true number one production.  Emmitt closes by sharing why he is at Radio Row with Narcan nasal spray, spreading awareness about opioid overdoses and how access to Narcan can save a life in minutes.
