Cowboys to leave door open for a FA RB?

[Silver N Blue]

Cowboys VP Stephen Jones is leaving the door open for the team to add a free agent running back if needed.

It's perhaps worth noting that Joseph Randle fumbled in team drills in front of reporters in Wednesday's practice. Darren McFadden (hamstring) remains on the shelf, and Lance Dunbar recently needed X-rays on his ankle. "We would have liked to have added a young running back to that group," said Jones. "The situation didn't present itself in the draft, so we didn't get that done. We probably missed out there. ... There's backs out there that I think still have some gas left in their tank, and if we need to go get one, we'll go get one."

Thanks for finally noticing the dire situation SJ and JJ.....

I think the situation is far from dire, obviously management feels the same way. If it was a dire situation they'd have drafted for a RB, or traded for one, or brought in some of the free agents out there.

The quote suggests otherwise...

Gas left in the tank probably means chris johnson?

The quotes suggest its a dire situation at RB?

What part of what SJ said, indicated to you, that the situation at RB is a dire need?

The words "if we need to get one" instantaneously elminates anything close to dire

Tevin Coleman was there for what 3 rounds? Yeah nobody fell...

I don't think so SJ has said the cowboys do not have interest.

That has been the case since the day Murray left town.

Or maybe they're just wrong?

I think dire comes from having one guy to play the role at this point.

They had to put Clutts in on third down because Seastrunk and Gus Johnson can't do it.

When you're down to Randle and Clutts, it's a clear wake up call to do something.

I don't think it's dire. It's precautionary measures with dmc, Dunbar's injury doesn't seem serious and rbs are going to fumble.

Might try to get a young back up off another team.

Well said, stay thirsty my friend.

 

[Bowdown27]

Like others said if it was dire they would have drafted a rb at some point.

It's ok that we have different opinions..I look at that statement and think dire...
