Default I give up on Felix.

He is who we thought he was. A change of pace back. Hostile I am now behind your plan of Richardson in the 1st.

I think considering that he has a bum shoulder, he's doing ok. I do think we need a new lead back though. Not sure how much the offensive line that can get a push from the 1 has to do with it though.

I hope you are wrong, however, I am starting to wonder if Felix is ultimately best suited for an over-sized 3rd down/utility back. I haven't seen anything in his game to make me think he is a an every down that can be consistently counted on for yardage when needed.

The homers will point to the Offensive Line.... I say the guy has been around for 4 years now and as the previous posted said... he is what he is at this point. Don't expect a lot more.

Romo is the only weak player on the team. Pointless thread

All kidding aside I would love Richardson, but an O-linemen or a DB is what makes more sense too me.

Richardson isn't the answer.

Doesn't matter who the back is if we don't run block better or show more commitment to the running game.

I'd see what Murray can do before I'd spend a first rounder on another RB.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

If we were a run-first team, I'd say okay. But we're a passing team. Give us a better O-Line, and we automatically become better in the running game. I love Richardson, but I'd be extremely disappointed if we took a RB in the first round.
There's always more to the story.

Id like to see what he could do if we'd RUN THE DAMN BALL MORE THAN A HANDFUL OF TIMES A GAME.

If anyone doubt Richardson, he would have gotten that TD on 4th and goal. He can take the rock and kill the clock when Dallas has the lead. He is what Dallas needs.

I don't think any RB in the league besides Peterson could beast behind our Oline.

I actually like the way Felix is playing. He is a bull (suprisingly).

Maybe but not in the round.


This says a lot about what you guys subliminaly think about Murray also.


We can't keep using premium picks on tailbacks unless a Peterson or McFadden fall in our laps.

I like Richardson but he's stuck in 3rd gear and doesn't have much wiggle. Pass.

I don't believe Trent Richardson is the next great back by any means. His game compares favorably to Marshawn Lynch, which is to say he can be a good back at the next level, but I don't see an Adrian Peterson type back.
