Emmitt Smith ‘couldn't imagine' joining Eagles like DeMarco Murray

Former Dallas Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith joined John Clark on Comcast SportsNet's Philly Sports Talk on Thursday to discuss DeMarco Murray and the Eagles-Cowboys rivalry.

With Murray jumping ship from the Cowboys to the Birds this offseason, Clark asked Smith if he could ever imagine doing the same thing during his career.

"No," Smith said. "I couldn't imagine being in that position at all. I like to think that Philadelphia, although as much as they hate the Dallas Cowboys, love to get quality football players on their football team, and DeMarco Murray happened to be one of those guys."

The NFL's all-time leading rusher was also asked what this does for the Eagles moving forward and whether they should be considered the favorites to win the NFC East heading into this season.

"No, I don't think it switches the balance of power," Smith said. "I think the balance of power still has to be played between the goal lines … but I still think our Dallas Cowboys are a team that you have to deal with and you cannot take us lightly."
