I didn't either....a lot of teams hungry for running backs he's still young....shocked he's out here but I guess he's still fighting off that he's too small to play running back and not good enough to play receiver but has elite speed.

I wouldn't call 4.43 speed elite, but he is quite explosive on tape in short areas.

I wouldn't mind him, but he would have to stay healthy.

Switzer is not taking the Dunbar role. The coaches said, he may get some of the passing plays but not the running plays or where he lines up in the backfield. They should dump the Dumbar role, and pursue other plays IMO. Which is what Ithonk they will do for the most part.

They said Switzer is a WR, not a RB.

Death to the "Dunbar role"!

Not a surprise bringing in Robinson. We also brought in Ronnie hillman. Seems we want to release Morris anyway. Hopefully this doesn't signify zeke suspension.

I think it's more of Zeke being suspended than Morris being cut

Forty times can be deceiving.

Lance Dunbar's forty was 4.47 but many Cowboys players said he was the fastest player on the team. There was a video where someone asking Cowboys players that question. The only one that didn't answer Dunbar was Scandrick because he answered "me".

I've twice seen Heath 4.48 run past Scandrick 4.38.

I think this has more to do with rounding out a complete RBs group more so than preparing for a possible short 1-2 game Zeke suspension. Both guys fit the mold of the versatile 3rd string RB with some ability to play special teams.

I can easily believe that to the extent of 100%. Anyone who has run track or been timed in the forty knows full well that it's easy as pie to differ from one run to the next, as much as a tenth of a second and quite possibly even more.

Perhaps, some guys are faster in actual pads and on the field competing. Never seen anyone faster than Deion on the field, and some fear might make anyone just a lil faster.

He would have to stay healthy, but Denard's explosiveness in a phone booth is impressive. Would be nice if they ran at the combine in pads, cause pads are restrictive and some guys can't run in them as easy or as fast.
