At what point is Cook called up to get some carries?

[Coogiguy03]

Do you think with being here these past few weeks he's ready to get called up. I mean the few running plays that we have, shouldn't be too hard for him to grasp. Up the middle run up the middle run, up the middle run! Please give your thoughts, might be time to give Deuce a little rest!!

He could come up at any time. It is actually good to have him stashed. It's also a good thing to have 4 healthy backs.

after the massacre yesterday, I am guessing at any moment. Wouldn't hurt to maybe give Dowdle some snaps, but what do I know

What is cooks going to do with our blocking?

he needs to be brought up asap and the midget needs to be cut

Better get Flourinoy on the WR corps. Jalen Brooks and Jalen Tolbert are not better than him as a rookie.

HORRIBLE idea.

He needs more carries not fewer.

They didn't lose because of the running backs.

Why?

Tolbert had a very good game.

The person that needs to sit WON'T because he's a legacy player.

How they don't give rico more carries till he is injured baffles me.

Rico Dowdle

7 carries

30 yards

0- TD's

4.29 average

Ezekiel Elliott

6 carries

16 yards

0 TD's

2.67 average

Deuce Vaughn

4 carries

11 yards

0 TD's

2.75 average

Start Rico, run Rico, and if Vaughn doesn't step up and actually contribute then he can go. You can grab just about any RB on the street can give you 2.5 yards a carry.

They are experimenting.

They rushed for 68 yards the entire game. Any idea of what our record is when we rush for over 100? Sure the line didn't help, but those dogs can't find a hole in an earthquake:

Dowdle: 7/30 yards
Zeke: 6/16 yards
Deuce: LOL 4/0 yards. That's right folks almost negative yards
Cooks: 1/-3 yards

Again I ask you, how did our running game help our cause? If this is the answer to our issues, then I would love to know what the question is

Stats as I posted above say Deuce has 11 yards. is that not correct?

Yeah, my source or typing was wrong good catch. I feel better now knowing he had 11 yards lol, but yeah, you are right

The Saints scored tds on their 1st 6 drives. If the defense would have gotten 2 or 3 stops, the Cowboys would have rushed for a lot more yardage.

We were in the game in the first half with 16 pts, right? The game was far from over and we still couldn't run the ball. When will you realize we don't have the OL or RB's to put a strong running game on the field? I won't kill Dak for this game, but in no world can he succeed without a ground game...and in no world can the current state of this team support a strong running game

 

[Mark]

An embarrassment of mediocrity at RB...a veritable "JAG Corps."

The Cowboys' running plays seem to surprise no one; defenses are stacked in the box waiting for them.

Zeke seems washed; Dowdle collapses with an arm-tackle; and I'm not sure Deuce has ever gotten a carry against anything less than an eight-man front. Do the team have anyone to consistently beat defenders to the edge, as Kamara & Co. did (mostly untouched) yesterday?

Dalvin is on the ps for a reason
