Ryan Williams had groin cramps

[tantrix1969]

Murray and Williams would be a strength at a position that can dominate.
This team needs every advantage it can get, and if Williams doesnt make this team its just taking another step back rather than forward.
As much as I have been impressed with Randle and Dunbar, Williams is clearly showing why he was a top RB when drafted, and he deserves a spot on this roster.
Im thinking Dunbar is probably the odd man out, but I could be wrong, maybe Randle.

There's no way Dunbar gets cut, they've already hyped him up too much as our Sproles-lite

What does randle offer?

I personally haven't seen any reason to keep Dunbar over Williams, let alone Randle. Dunbar looked lost on several runs, blew his blitz pickup on an early sack and had a drop.

pick up blocking and special teams, he is a decent runner, not close to Williams.

 

[Bungarian]

Randle is a change of pace type guy. My guess is if Murrey goes down Williams gets the start with Randle playing his normal role.

I think Dunbar is consistently overrated too. Yeah he's quick but he just runs fast - he doesn't wait for blocks to set up. Plus for the few opportunities he has he usually falls down, fumbles, or gets hurt.

It was hilarious when Ellerbe reached out and touched his shoulder and Dunbar crumbled like he had been hit by a truck. I literally gasped and erupted into laughter.

Cramps! Nah, he just had to pee and couldn't hold it. That's my 5 yr olds move.

Murray and Williams would make a great tandem.

Couldn't agree more. Randle is protective backup talent...and Dunbar expands what can be presented on the field. I really like this year's look at position, this camp.

 

[Biggems]

he runs hard, with speed, force, and determination......but that wasn't even my favorite part of his game last night.

after watching Dunbar basically whiff on a block that got Romo sacked earlier in the game, it was great to see Williams completely stonewall his man and give Weeden all the time in the world to find the open man. So not only does he run with purpose, he blocks with purpose as well.

IMO, he is definitely a keeper.

Williams should be over Randle and Dunbar. The only problem is he's been fragile and we have to keep 3. Dunbar is a liability in pass protection, I say keep Murray, Williams and Randle. I would rather keep another receiver. There's nothing Dunbar can do that Williams can't do.

Dunbar is the number 2 back and a lock to make this team. Randle would be cut unless they keep four backs.

What does randle offer?

Slow feet, no vision, straight up running, with little break away speed or wiggle

Cramps...

Where's the Aleve when you need it??!

I love Butternut Squash or nan gua. Referring to your avatar.

Agree. I like both. I think Ryan has quietly ascended to #2 on the depth chart.

As do I.

Never heard it called nan gua.

 

[theSHOW]

I hope it's nothing serious, because he is looking like the best running back on the team to me.

our best running back does not deserve these comments #29 is a Pro Bowl Back.

Mandarin. Nan is south and gua is melon, gourd, or squash.

I also notice Williams do little things to get you positive yardage.
I saw him make himself "small" at times to squeeze through a small hole. I also saw him hit the hole quicker when it started to close up. He seems to have very good awareness and vision.
These are little things that can be the difference between gaining 3 yards vs losing 1 yard.
