News: Callahan puts some possibilities out there for Cowboys' backfield against Eagles

[WoodysGirl]

Offensive coordinator Bill Callahan said the Cowboys will use definitely use rookie Joseph Randle on Sunday, and maybe in new ways.

“We’re going to use him intelligently,” Callahan said Thursday at Valley Ranch. “We’ll put him in different spots, different locations and kind of change him from what he’s been doing from a scheme standpoint.”

Callahan might just be throwing a smokescreen at the Philadelphia Eagles. He also left open the idea that DeMarco Murray, sidelined last week by a sprained knee, and Lance Dunbar, out two weeks with a hamstring injury, might play.

Sounds like they may try to motion him out of the backfield and try to match him up on a LB. Or just line him up as a WR. He's a prety good receiver, so he con be useful in the passing game. Or it could all be complete BS coming from Callahan.

At least they will keep the Phiily defense guessig somewhat.

Part of this is due to the fact Randle has struggled in pass protection, so might as well shift him away from that, and use Hanna or another TE to stay in for protection instead.

I will be pleased if Dunbar plays as he looks like our most explosive back...........

how come dunbar isn't getting any reps?

Besides the fumbling issue, he looks head and heals above our other backs

Dunbar has "Cowboyitis" more commonly known as an injured hamstring.
