Baffled at the idea of no RB. Until I realized

[nathanlt]

Parsons played RB ... Maybe that's what they are going for? Still baffled though. Improving the OLine to boost the running game is good, that box is thoroughly checked in this draft. But... what's going to happen at the RB position. It's certainly not free agency, or the draft, and it seems just as certain that it's not UDFA market either.

 

[LonnieElam]

This will go well.

 

[exciter]

Lol!

 

[nathanlt]

This will go well.

26 UDFA running backs have been signed by other teams... None by the Cowboys. I mean.. What is this??? Addition by subtraction... Addition by denial... Addition by ignorance????

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

I love it!

 

[Killerinstinct]

Omg

 

[davey999]

They don't care. The only RB move that will get people talking about them is Zeke.

 

[plymkr]

I think Micah has enough on his plate with playing LB/DE/podcaster

 

[MonsterD]

Maybe more of Turpin taking handoffs? I dunno. They have some time to get a RB but it won't be anything spectacular.

You can’t be serious.

Zeke is the TB1 and that’s that. I hope they look to trade for someone who can split carries but I think they are content going into the year with Zeke/dowdle/Deuce

 

[kiheikiwi]

So now the thought is - trade for someone and give up resources/draft picks from next year ? And pay them ?
And take someone else's scraps, instead of oh I don't know, drafting a good runner for 4 cheap years .....

 

[nathanlt]

You can’t be serious.

So, you're confident Parsons won't take a handoff, the entire season? I'm not that confident he will just be 100% defense. He's tried everything else.

Running the ball effectively is still important. Unfortunately, Dallas won’t have the luxury of big plays or consistent yardage from their backs. That means all the pressure will be on Dak, and he may crash and burn.

The blueprint was set in week 2 of 2017 against Denver (I was there and the game was postponed for an hour and a half at like halftime due to lightning). Sell out to stop the run, and make Dak beat you with his arm. We got destroyed. The highlight of that game was the frisbee-catching dogs at halftime.

The Denver coach (Fangio I believe) got a lot of props for that game. A couple of other teams have followed his tactic (with tremendous success).

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Honestly ..........Like everything else, I think they decided to put it on the back burner until 2025.

 

[Walker]

Give him about 20 carries.

Jone Boys: "You want 60mill/year Dak? Fine. We'll give you that but you are going to have to play QB and RB"
