Twitter: Broaddus: Cowboys working out 4 RB and 1 FB

[Alexander]

I'd like to see the Cowboys get Mikel Leshoure from Detriot. I think he is a practice squad player. Im an Illini guy I know but I think he can be a good #2 back.

Not a PS player.

 

[IlliniNation]

That is true

 

[Gridiron Man]

Personally I would like to get a fullback. I think we are fine with Randal and Tanner and taking a chance on fb seems like the best move

I agree. When Tony Fiammetta was leading the way, Murray rushed for a team record 601 yards in four games. I still havent forgotten about that.

Wasn't Clutts receiving Pro Bowl hype a couple of years ago?

True, and I like Clutts. His athletic diversity and size would make him a potentially solid lead back. I'd love to see us with a Fiammetta.v2

Here is a wiki on Clutts....

I loved Fiammetta for Murray, too. Murray *does* seem to run better behind a FB.

Not a huge fan of adding another back, anyway, but I could live with the right FB type if he can block effectively at the second level.

Gotta wonder about Randle if one of these RBs is signed to the active roster...is he injured or something?

I think he's just bad - I did not see anything from the kid in preseason

I remember a few posters including myself were screaming for Dallas to go out and sign John Conner when the run game became stagnate. Instead he signed with New York and is doing quite well. There are no full backs worth bringing in at this point and Dallas is just going to have to roll with the 2 TE offense for the rest of the way. I would much rather have DeLone Carter as a back up to Murray. Randle is not ready and Tanner is nothing more than a special teamer.

I was on that bandwagon also and kind of feel like we missed something there.

If we do make it to the playoffs the ability to run the ball will be critical. It's also important for cold weather games.

He is afflicted with terribleness.

It seems we're all in agreement on Randle. It also seems the staff feels the same way.

Based on fan voting ... which really was just Bears fans stuffing ballot boxes

Tyler Clutts is the winner

None of these guys would be picked above the 5th round if the draft were held today... Holy crap. I've understood all the DL picks, some have been very good. These guys are all garbage and it proves how little faith we have in Randle. Wasted that pick for sure...

I think it's a little early to freak out about Randle. You are assuming signing this guy says something about Randle? Why? Do you think he's ahead of Randle on the depth chart?

Its possible he will be. I'm not dogging Randall's rushing ability like everyone else, but I don't think he has a great blitz pick-up yet. FB will be able to help in protection or open a hole.

Randle is the #2 back now. But really he seems an off-season away from making a strong contribution - he needs to fill out a bit. Likely why he went lower in the draft.

We've barely seen Randle. It's impossible to accurately "scout" a player with only a handful of snaps.
