News: PFT: Report: Cowboys getting calls about Darren McFadden

[Nightman]

They will rue the day they keep Jackson over McFadden....

Yeah who would want a 22 year old rookie with 4 cheap years over a 29 year old, injury riddled has been for 4x the money

Keep them both and have 4 quality RB's

 

[nobody]

If someone offers a DE of the same quality as McFadden, take the trade. Otherwise keep 4 RB's. We're gonna need them.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

Would like a 6th... Zeke is having issues but I like what I'm seeing with Alfred Morris.

To many people here who can't remember last season when McFadden performed very well on an offense that couldn't pass the ball at all.

I guess they fell in love with Darius Jackson and are ignoring that McFadden is a well rounded back in almost every aspect of the game.

Nobody thought that about McFadden until he ran behind our OL. Murray ran over 1800 yards then went to Philly were he got benched.

That year Murray had over 900 yards "before" contact. Which means when we handed him the ball he got over 900 yards before he was touched. He was able to get another 900 plus after contact.........Mcfadden barely got over 200 yards after contact, that's not special or performing great neither is his 3 TDs on the year which Randle (playing in half as many games as Mcfadden) had more TDs then Mcfadden. He can be replaced. A rookie in Gurley had more yards and TDs then Mcfadden and missed entire games due to injury on a terrible offense with the Rams

Not to mention he will be able to block far better than super rookie Zeke. With a backup or Romo that's always a plus.

McFadden block better then Zeke haha

 

[CowboyChris]

McFadden block better then Zeke haha

McFadden is a good pass blocking RB

 

[Irvin88_4life]

That doesn't negate my point. McFadden would have led the league in rushing in 16 games. That's not even debatable just going by the stats he put up in the games he played in. As far as his TD total goes they passed the ball in the red zone more than they rushed.

That's speculation though, could he maybe but he could also gotten injuried.

Denver and Minnesota were just as bad as Dallas in the redzone and their starting running backs got 7 and 11 rushing TDs.

Mcfadden averages 667 yards a season and 3.5 TDs a season. Had nothing to do with anything but Mcfadden can't break tackles and just isn't very good at short yardage

 

[Irvin88_4life]

McFadden is a good pass blocking RB

Yes he is good at pass blocking but so is Jackson. Zeke is on a whole different level then any of our running backs with blocking. Zeke can even lead block like a FB....which Mcfadden and Jackson can't do

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Keep them both and have 4 quality RB's

For me I'm keeping 4 but the last spot is between McFadden and Dunbar. Cases can be made for both but the main one is you can't stay with 2 injury prone guys at the same position.....it's one or the other

Dmc can block as well as Zeke and he had done it in real live regular season games

 

[Irvin88_4life]

McFadden isn't close to being on Zeke's level in pass protection and Zeke has done it in live action. It's one of his biggest strengths. He can lead block like a FB on to of that. Mcfadden wishes he could pass block like Zeke

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Not only that McFadden "tried" to block when Romo got injuried against the Panthers......missing blocks that get your QB injuried is not a great skill to be bragging about

 

[Bleu Star]

I stand by my original statement on draft day when we solidified Zeke the FREAK. The same statement that many of you scoffed at... Well. It won't be long now. What did I say? Let me refresh your memories.

McFadden will not be on our final 53.

One of the knocks on Zeke when he was drafted was his blocking scouts said it was his weak spot

We'll those scouts are dumb. His pass pro has been spot on in the preseason.

And I hope it is when it counts

Zeke was regarded as one of the best blocking backs to ever come out of college

 

[strollinruss]

McFadden block better then Zeke haha

It will take Zeke half of the season if not more to get the hang of pass blocking in the NFL.

The #Cowboys have received calls from teams seeking to trade for RB Darren McFadden, source said. DAL really wants to keep him, though.

If some fool wants McChicken then give him away. I would take a bag of chips.
