Cowboys looking at practice squads for RBs

[big dog cowboy]

Wouldn't it be awesome though to be able to hear the debate of these picks? Why the NFL doesn't allow fans the access to that post-draft is beyond me. I'd pay top dollar for it and I imagine I'm not alone on that. I suppose teams don't want you to know what they're thinking, even after the fact.

Oh my gosh that would be a fans dream and a GM's nightmare. I can't imagine any team willing to do that. Talk about opening yourself up to second guessing.

 

[Joe_Fan]

I agree with most of what you said but dallas would still be no better than 2-5. Dallas also wouldnt have greg hardy either.

Greg Hardy likely won't be here next season anyways.. So really, what's the point of wasting a great player on a wasted season?

It's just piss poor from top to bottom.

 

[Joe_Fan]

Hey..

Randle said there was still a lot of meat on the bone.

Guess he was wrong.

Oh, there was.. He just forgot to tell everyone that the voices in his head told him to become a vegetarian before the season started.

 

[Joe_Fan]

They should have kept Murray and drafted Rawls

The RBBC would be:

Murray 300 carries
Randle 100 carries
Rawls 70 carries
Dunbar 30 carries/50 recepts

Total salary cap hit of 6.7m or less than Doug Free or about 1/2 of Carr.

Nah. It makes way too much sense to have drafted a RB that we actually needed instead of the TE that we traded away picks for to get instead.

 

[Oh_Canada]

No not in Philly, but in Dallas where he never averaged below 4 yards a carry you honestly think he would have the same success as this year?

Nope, he was already in decline last year, he barely cracked 4yds a carry over his last seven. BTW, if 4yds a carry is your benchmark, that's exactly what McFadden is averaging with no Romo.

Decline? The dude had a record breaking season. He hurt this hand and couldn't stiff arm anybody and still gave the Cowboys a threat in the run game.

Turns out that Randle must be a vegetarian...

Bud move on we don't need Murray were doing just fine without him. in case you haven't noticed the problem is not the running game.

Doing just fine????????

Not into Randle got hurt and McFadden was the starter. Until then it was PATHETIC.

Crazy how God work! God is real

Trey Williams to Dallas????? Could be the replacement for Dunbar we have been looking for

I don't buy that 370 touch stuff. I went back and looked at all of the Top 20 single season rushers. If you add up their total touches they went over 370 many many times and combined they had dozens of great seasons after such high volume seasons. This is especially true earlier in their career and 27 was no magic number.

The thing about career years is that you don't know when it is a career year or not until it is all over. A lot of people would say Emmitt would never set his career high of 2148 yards and 25 TDs on 439 touches after 3 seasons of 400+ touches. But he did. It was 2500 yds and 31 TDs if you count the postseason on 519 touches.

And he followed it up with a 1454 yards and 15 TDs season. Was that a failure compared to his career year? Does Brady have to throw 50 TDs every year to worth the money?

And no one counts playoff and preseason touches either. RBs have much more stamina than those 370+ carry blogs give them credit for.

Emmitt is just one of the dozens of examples.

1. The study was carries not touches.

2. Emmitt is the exception to many rules of thumb. Probabilities are not about looking at the exception. It is about looking at the majority.

3. Murray had never played 16 games in a season until his contract year.

Everything pointed to signing Murray as a bad bet.

1- that makes no sense. carries, receptions, playoffs, regular season all count

2- I specifically said Emmitt was just one of dozens. go thru the list and see for yourself.
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/rush_yds_single_season.htm

For the top10 alone I counted 24 seasons of at least 1200 rushing yards after 370 touches

3- Murray had 5720 yards and 29 TDs for DAL. That is great production for his first 4 years.

You may be right.

Kick return potential, too.

Another name I thought they might kick the tires on is Cyrus Grey.....He has been making the rounds......

It is carries not touches. It is not all the same. The 370 number would be higher if it were touches.

We often see RBs wear down and hear about it often. We don't see or hear it about WRs in those terms and receptions by RBs is not the same as carries.

Injury prone players tend to get injured. It tends to get worse with age.

You're going to believe what you want to believe regardless. There's probably no point discussing it.

It isn't about believing or not if you refuse to look at the data and if don't think RBs get hit on receptions.

The injury prone stuff is just silly.

You also said Murray had one good year, yet he gained 5730 yards and scored 29 TDs in 4 seasons. Was he always hurt or did gain almost 1430 yards a year?

 

[DandyDon52]

Murray was a perfect fit for this scheme and system. An absolute perfect fit. Even when we had scrubs on the offensive line he was productive. Unlike Randle's bum *** he never hesitated. He ran as hard as you'll ever see a back run. His pass protection. How difficult he was to bring down. How he wore on defenses. He gave us an indentity. Now that's gone.

yep teams were afraid of our run game.
Well never know now what could have been.
