Broaddus: A chance they will try to pass Darius Jackson through waivers

[Irvin88_4life]

I didn't say they said that. I'm responding to the folks who think they know better than the coaches do.

My question is how do you know what the coaches said

 

[Irvin88_4life]

The team sees him in practice everyday so maybe one carry is all he's earned with our starting OL. I doubt very seriously with us starting the season with a rookie QB and rookie RB that the team is going to go with 2 rookie backs as part of our rotation. You need more experience in there and McFadden along with Morris gives us some experience.

I know your lovefest, man crush on McFadden. No need to reply to anything I say

You're accusing me of having a man crush on McFadden??? I've been arguing against him all off-season and everyone knows it including you but in a rotation behind Zeke and Morris that would give us the best RB rotation in the entire league. I don't want him as our starter but I'm fine with him playing behind two other backs. That would give us two 1000 yard rusher's in our backfield and we all know Zeke is capable of 1500 plus.

Again I'm not getting into debate after debate with you over Jackson or Mcfadden. You know how I feel and I know how you feel. No need to reply everytime I say something on the subject since I already know what your gonna say

How many TD's has Dunbar scored in 4 years with this team?? Yea thats right ZERO!!! give me break

He's a good 3rd down specialist and knows our playbook. He can also contribute on ST as well. He may not have the TD stat line but he helps us move those chains on 3rd down.

In 3 games total

 

[Bowdown27]

Elliott, Morris, Jackson. No interest whatsoever in keeping the other two.

That's my feeling

 

[cowboys1981]

Still fits in offense in that role.

he may be a threat as a 3rd down back, but after 4 years of being on this team, he has done diddly squat. as for the special teams i don't see him taking Lucky's role either. lets not forget he is coming off a major knee surgery too.

 

[Runwildboys]

The facts I provided earlier. The same people you choose to put your faith in also believed in Joseph Randle to replace Murray. And traded for Christine Michael, before giving him back to Seattle.

They deserve to be questioned.

I don't think they had much from which to choose when replacing Murray, but once they had choices they chose well. (DMC, Morris, and now Zeke) Randle's issues were more about his brain than his talent (though I'm not saying he had great talent) and I think Michael was a stop gap insurance plan, never intended to be long term starter material.

He's perfect for his limited role he had. In light of rumors coming out today I'd bite on the McFadden trade and insert Jackson as the 3rd back in the depth chart. Dunbar's role is limited to the passing game on 3rd downs while Jackson could fight his way to being a good back up. I love his speed and I honestly don't see him being cut when we have him for cheap on a rookie contract.

 

[Runwildboys]

My question is how do you know what the coaches said

I'm not responding to the coaches. Someone said the team is dumb if they pass on Jackson. Someone else said he'll end up on the Commanders and hurt us. It's posts like that I'm replying to.

Mistakes, however one wants to qualify them.

But haven't you heard, they can only be good running behind this OL...any RB can do it....
If he gets snapped up, he does, They can just get another one in next years draft if need be.
Don't get me wrong, I am pulling for him, but he may just get caught in a numbers game. But what has he shown for teams to claim him. Unless he shines in this 4th PS game.

The line certainly helps, as would a good FB, but these guys have talent. I agree with you on the bolded though.

 

[BAT]

The RB position is fungible. You shouldn't rue Jackson types.

If he is claimed. He is claimed.

Isn't this the same reason EVERYONE gave as to why Dallas would NOT draft RB with the 4th pick as well? Someone has figured out if you want to be a great rushing team, it may be wise to improve the talent at the actual RUNNING back position. I guess they have figured out that just plugging in mediocre talent at RB, even behind this great run blocking OL, does not produce the desired results.

So everybody feels good keeping Dunbar in on 3rd downs to maybe have to pickup a blitzer? keep trying though

You're the biggest McFadden supporter on the board. You know it.

The debates we've had were all due to you. You made a comment that Jackson pretty much locked up a roster spot last week vs Seattle pushing McFadden out. I didn't agree and you kept arguing. We were on the same page with other things concerning both backs but you kept responding wanting to argue points that we shared similar views for some reason. If you don't want me to reply then don't reply back giving me something to refute. Don't respond with this crap that I'm a McFadden lover when you know damn good and well from following everyone of my posts in the McFadden vs Morris thread that it couldn't be farther from the truth.

I said all offseason that I don't want McFadden as the starter but I'm fine with him as part of our rotation. If he's fresh he could be very effective as part of a rotation behind our OL. In his first start last season he put up 152 yards due to having fresh legs from not having many carries but the following week his legs looked dead. That seemed to be the pattern with him, one productive game followed by a bad game. The carries started catching up with him he finished with a career high in carries.
