Although we'll probably roll with who have, here are few available RBs on the street right now and one that might be available via waiver

Here's the only worthy player I could find in any recent new wires that might be avail. ( yep he's a Commander ...LOL )

Nope. Why would we sign anyone with DMac, Morris and Hillman?

Man, NFL running backs sure do get thrown on the trash heap real fast these days. I guess not everyone can be an Emmitt or AP, but that's just one more reason why Zeke needs to walk the line....your career could be over before it starts.

Don't think Dallas misses the playoffs because of Morris or McFadden starting for a few games...This is a very tough schedule, it's the defense that will be the determining factor if the Cowboys make the playoffs imo

One game can be the difference between a playoff birth and sitting at home, not to mention playoff seeding. How many games that we won last year would have been Ls without Zeke on the field?

We lost two games last year with Zeke on the field to New York alone.....I think the offense will be fine without Zeke for a few weeks, will he be missed, sure but not as drastic as some make it out to be....it's the defense that worries me, especially the front four getting consistent pressure..

Reggie Bush is still a FA? I remember I used to want him here.

The best strategy with regards to the schedule IMO is an absolute focus winning all divisional games, starting with the Giants. The good new is our last five divisional games come AFTER Zeke return. So IF we can take care of the Giants and win at least 2 of the next five before Zeke return we'll be in good shape. As we know, come Nov - Dec it's all about divisional and conference games. If you can sweep the division and pull out 3-4 more wins you're damn near a lock for playoffs. Other words, a Giant win will buy us some time w/o Zeke and still be where we wanna be in December.

Speaking Monday, Commanders coach Jay Gruden said Matt Jones is "doing a good job of competing for a spot at running back."
Jones has been trying to force his release, but things could be complicated by Keith Marshall's season-ending injury. The Commanders have appeared perfectly content to hold onto Jones as their No. 4 back, though they would undoubtedly flip him for a conditional day-three pick. Jul 31 - 3:14 PM

Should have signed AP when we had the chance. Did we ever have the chance?

The two other thousand-yard rushers on the roster will fare just fine. Sure, they're not as dynamic as Zeke and they won't force the same matchups, but we have an offense that can plan around that for six games. Let them leave a man outside of the box. The Beasley / Switzer package can eat that particular look alive, and that's just getting started.

Nobody on the street is better then who is currently on the team. Geez. :)

I'll throw a name out there...Travis Greene...Bowling Green. Not a Bell cow...but the kid is slick..jab step...quick to the hole...3rd down type back.

Why isn't he on a roster? Teams have 90 man rosters right now and he is young and cheap.

Interested in none of those barring injuries to what we got before the season starts. McFadden, Morris and Smith can truck along in the first part of the season.
