I still don't understand why he would want to go there over here. They have an entrenched starter. The Cowboys don't.

His contract shows just 15K guaranteed.

Maybe Joe Randle called and threaten to kill his family and eat them for dinner.

I'm thinking it was simply over the signing bonus. I assume the Cowboys agreement was less.

It's really difficult to be a dominant running team when defenses don't respect the passing game. The fact that they're 6th when the QBs have been Weed and Cassel is impressive, IMO.

It could've been even higher if we went with McFadden from the get go instead of Randle. It was obvious after the Atlanta game Randle couldn't handle the work load of being a starter. He hesitates too much, doesn't run through the holes, instead of just going which makes the line have to sustain blocks forever. McFadden has just been going with no hesitation. Last week there wasn't much there, but they did get some up the gut and in between the tackles. I wish they'd stick to that. Hard to have success with the zone stretch against such quick defensive fronts.

Watching McFadden early in the season, I think he was less than 100%.

With that logic the Cowboys are more likely to win today than the Patriots. You should be all of your money on the Skins to beat the Patriots since the Pats must be due for a loss.

Your analysis doesn't hold up to scrutiny. You are confusing the law of averages with tendencies and they are not the same thing. McFadden will fumble again. The Pats may not lose again this season. Which one you betting on? That's what I thought. lol

Murray or Hardy?

Also ignoring the losses of Romo and Dez for the majority of the season probably impacts the offense a bit don't you think? Everything from the passing to the running game.

Or were you just trying to be snarky and ended up looking silly?

Both Murray and Hardy of course.
It means we wouldn't have extended Crawford early. So it would have been a win win win situation.

Oh...you want it to be just black or white...sorry but this one has many shades of gray.

It's also probably going to rain in Dallas one of these days, again...

The seahawks were trading Michael because they like Rawls.

It really is a shame that Rawls reneged on his agreement with the Cowboys. He would likely have won the starting spot in camp.

Yeah right, we would have had him behind Gus Johnson with our great staff!!

Should have gotten Rawls over Michael, no question. We missed on him as an UFA and we traded for the wrong RB. Two strikes.

The problem is that we weren't going to get Rawls through trade. We had our chance with drafting him but we traded up to draft that stupid TE instead who has done absolutely nothing for us.

This post is about the Dallas Cowboys and their RB decisions in the off-season.

I was just curious to see how well some the Cowboys possible options at RB in the off-season were performing.

The first thing to notice is that the Cowboys RBBC is 6th in the league in Rush Yards per Game. None of the starters in the top 5 teams were really options for the Cowboys to acquire unless you believe the AP rumors.

Other veteran options DeMarco Murray and Chris Johnson are on teams that rank below the Cowboys in Rush Yards per Game.

Note AP has 3 fumbles and Chris Johnson has 2. Randle had 1 and McFadden zero.

The RBs from the draft are listed at the bottom.

Gurley is the man. Most people knew this before he was drafted.
Gordon has a horrific 4 fumbles. His college fumble rate was bad also.
Yeldon is doing well but that's probably because of his Right Tackle.
Abdullah with 4 fumbles. His college fumble rate was the worst.

The Cowboys pick in the 3rd was #91 overall. The best performance of a player available after that pick is udfa Thomas Rawls. The Cowboys tried to sign Rawls but he picked Seattle's offer.

For this season up to this point the running game is not the problem. McFadden appears to be fine; although, we always have to worry about his health. Chris Johnson might have been a good option but AZ is 10th compared to Dallas at 6th in rushing. Not signing Murray is looking good right now. The biggest miss was not getting Rawls for both now and the future. A couple of hundred thousand guaranteed probably would have enticed him to sign.

Code:
Cowboys Rank in rush yards per game:
Dallas 6th

Good information and speak to some of the concerns.

But several important things to consider:

Running and TOP

Controlling the clock

Pass catching out of the backfield

Short yardage success

Just to name a few..

When I look at the results of the committee (which has changed radically with Randle and Dunbar gone )..

I just don't see where we have come close to last year. Yardage alone running and receiving and of course TD'S to me is the only way to begin comparisions..

and from that standpoint..

It's been a failure IMO.

It makes little difference if the yardage is made but the defense is content to let us run for 3 yds nd throw 5 yd. passes all game.

So I clearly hope this team shakes this syndrome of trying to be cute with their philosophies and instead identifies and corrects the mistakes.

As much as I like Garrett and believe he's a quality coach..

I don't care much for his offensive leadership. Which is what we brought him here to do.

The way we reacted offensively with Weeden and then let him keep dragging the team down with his play is very worrisome.

Garrett is supposed to be the QB Guru.

From that standpoint..I'm not sure he is the guy for this team.

We are fast approaching a moment when we will have to draft somebody to replace Romo and I worry if Garrett is the right guy to head that up.

Garrett's body of work with any QB not named Romo has been a failure. And this talk from Jones that Romo will help decide on the next QB is downright scary.

I want the Romo Era to end and do not want his legacy extending to the next guy.

Just my thoughts.

Aside from Gurley (which none figured we'd have a shot at), my favorite back was Tevin Coleman. Another guy I liked that was projected to go later, was David Cobb...who is injured but looked good enough in camp, etc. to have a legit shot to start. Also liked Yeldon & Buck Allen a bit. Rawls would've been a very solid UDFA signing...shame he went to the Seahawks.

Exactly what I'm saying. McFadden's fumble is coming. You act like I said he has a fumble issue but I didn't. I'm just saying everyone fumbles every once and a while and it's been a while for McFadden so he's due.

Nice. But did you copy and paste from a dot matrix printout?

This post is about the Dallas Cowboys and their RB decisions in the off-season.

I was just curious to see how well some the Cowboys possible options at RB in the off-season were performing.

The first thing to notice is that the Cowboys RBBC is 6th in the league in Rush Yards per Game. None of the starters in the top 5 teams were really options for the Cowboys to acquire unless you believe the AP rumors.

Other veteran options DeMarco Murray and Chris Johnson are on teams that rank below the Cowboys in Rush Yards per Game.

Note AP has 3 fumbles and Chris Johnson has 2. Randle had 1 and McFadden zero.

The RBs from the draft are listed at the bottom.

Gurley is the man. Most people knew this before he was drafted.
Gordon has a horrific 4 fumbles. His college fumble rate was bad also.
Yeldon is doing well but that's probably because of his Right Tackle.
Abdullah with 4 fumbles. His college fumble rate was the worst.

The Cowboys pick in the 3rd was #91 overall. The best performance of a player available after that pick is udfa Thomas Rawls. The Cowboys tried to sign Rawls but he picked Seattle's offer.

For this season up to this point the running game is not the problem. McFadden appears to be fine; although, we always have to worry about his health. Chris Johnson might have been a good option but AZ is 10th compared to Dallas at 6th in rushing. Not signing Murray is looking good right now. The biggest miss was not getting Rawls for both now and the future. A couple of hundred thousand guaranteed probably would have enticed him to sign.

I agree that Yeldon looked like a safe pick. Safer than Gordon, IMO; however, it is generally much more difficult to find a quality CB/Safety than to find a quality RB.

Gordon was a huge reach IMO. You dont spend a first round pick on a 2 down back. I had him below Yeldon and Coleman both of whom were capable of three down play

Nice. But did you copy and paste from a dot matrix printout?

No, the code /code function makes it look more like a tab delimited format.

If I just pasted it in as standard text it would be impossible to read.
