Default I'd like to see some Dunbar at RB

From what I've seen when he's had chances, they should give him a few more reps in the game.

Did you watch the game vs. the Falcons?

He sucked...

DUMBar doesnt even know when NOT to bring kicks out of the endzone... Average field position of the 11 yard line... Horrible.

This is Tony Romo's team. If you don't like him, find another team.

8 for 26 Dunbar

9 for 39 Jones

I'd like to see our OL learn to run-block.

I have seen enough of Dunbar, might as well bring Olawale up and see what he can do.

I like him, too. He's very quick, and he keeps running.

I saw him run into an awful lot of brick walls on Sunday, not sure why people were disappointed in him. He did make one or two questionable choices in the return game, but I don't mind those as long as they get us out over the 15 and able to use our full offense. I'll risk 5 yards to pickup more if there's really an opportunity there, and he did have the one nice return that got called back by the block in the back.
When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

If you think Dunbar sucks, you cannot recognize what it takes to be RB in the NFL.

He is shifty, quick, determined to get every yard. Give him as many carries as Felix and he will break more good runs.
Cowboys - Eagles

You can't win a playoff game in the regular season.
You can't win a game in December any other time than December.
If thats all you got, keep your mouth shut.

LEAVE NO DOUBT...

Dunbar has some quickness but he's an average back at best. He's rushed for 37 yards on 9 carries 11 of those yards came on one carry. He's certainly nothing special he's only getting opportunities because the team is in a pinch with Murray out and Felix not being 100%.

He showed some awareness in traffic on inside runs against the Ravens. You've seen all your getting from Felix and he's due to get injured again. Give him the ball more than 8 times before your on to the next flavor eh?

Can he block or catch?

He certainly wont be running the ball. What team do you think you are watching?

That's because like most Cowboy fans, it has to be instant success. The offensive line has to be a cohesive, 3 year experienced unit in 4 games max. If Dunbar does'nt break off a 50 yard run on his immense 13 or so carries he's had so far, then he sucks.

It's why I love to read these incredibly insiteful posts.

he is OK -- but you use a guy like that as a change of pace. He isn't going to be effective with a ton of reps

He's a run of the mill change of pace back. I like his speed and quickness but I'm not certain he has quite enough of either. I would like to see him in the open field to see his missem' and I'd like to see some passes in space.

Rodgers is the kind of back I'd like to see as our change of pace back.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

I see some potential, but he'll need this offseason to add some bulk (but not too much where he loses flexibility).
