Sounds a lot like the guy we had last yr

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Sounds good to me.

Short yardage back. I don't see him having a huge impact over what we have already. Insurance once Mcfadden or Randle go down. I like it a lot more than paying murray 8mil per.

If you're rebuilding a RB portfolio, he just helped balance it

I worry about Randle being another Hambrick. Looked good in relief last year. Looked terrible when he started in 2013. Maybe thats not the case, but it's a concern of mine as far as him having a heavy workload.

I think he might eventually become the starting or featured back this year. MacFadden and Randle are the same type of backs. They go down too easily and aren't the type of backs you want grinding for extra yardages during the waning moments of a game. CMike is more talented than Randle and would be a compliment MacFadden. Insurance he may be. But has more potential to be starter than the other backs we got so far.

I think they will spread the touchs out evenly enough. But Randals pass blocking is gonna hurt him I expect to see Dmac in on most of them starting off.

 

[Crown Royal]

My biggest concern with out current guys is that they aren't grinders. I like having this kind of player.

The question now is who dresses....until someone gets injured.

Yeah, because let's face it, a guy who is a short yardage guy is worth more than paying a play maker.

Did you watch Randle last year? He didn't go down all that easily.

As far as Broadus' comments, I'm not sure what he means by saying Michael looking like he runs on rails is the opposite to McFadden. That's exactly what I see with Darren.

I think he meant McFadden is more likely to try and bounce something outside than just plunge into a pile where the hole was supposed to be. I don't think it's about shiftiness, but rather how they each handle their lack of patience.

Patience is the one thing Randle does have going for him.

Michael will be starting for us by game 6

It's certainly a concern, but 2013 Randle and 2014 Randle didn't look remotely similar from the first carry of preseason. He was bigger, faster and better.

Randle is a shifty runner that is elusive enough to not get hit directly. Most people here tend to mistaken that for breaking tackles. However, I saw enough of him getting hit behind the LOS that his not the type to break tackles. Shifty and elusive yes - but not a tackle breaker and grinder.

He led the league in average yards after contact. He can be tackled in the backfield, but he can break tackles on the second level.

There's a lot to like about Randle's game. If he were less of a knucklehead, Christine Michael wouldn't be a Dallas Cowboy.

I don't know. I'm not sold on Randle just yet. Just that he's not a grinder like Murray. He may have lead in average after contact. But that could have been attributed to the fact that Murray and the oline has broken them into submission.

Those tough yardage between the tackles type runs. That's what I'm interested on seeing as well. I have no doubts that they can run through hole or bust it outside. But all runs will not be like that obviously. If one of them can show they grind out yards, we'll be fine. Oh and pick up the blitz as well.

Agree. I think mgmt has way more concern over Randle than DMac. My dream scenario is DMac staying healthy and him and Michael providing a top notch 1-2 punch
