Maybe a Lance Dunbar replacement option?

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Similar style RB.

 

[Alexander]

Maybe a Lance Dunbar replacement option?

That and special teams especially.

Just hard to see how they can carry five backs on gameday though provided he was signed.

 

[Idgit]

Interesting. Lookout, McFadden.

I can't even keep track of all the new Cowboys anymore.

 

[Alexander]

Actually, he would be four backs. Still hard to do unless you are eliminating a WR.

Now, if they would only give C Mike a chance and get rid of DMC.................................I knew he had no wiggle, but DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like I've seen from other posters, the wind can knock this guy over right now. He's the classic model of a guy that spends way too much time working on his upper body and NONE on his lower body.

He is not signed yet. I would be a little surprised. But if they are going to do it, they need to do it now so he gets a full week of practice in.

When you have that much talent you make it work.

Good point on the special teams angle.

These are desperate times. Why not

LOL

Yeah, four. We've got a QB spot to give up, too.

I wonder if they bring these guys in for a workout and have them run the ball once and then say workout finished?

 

[Idgit]

Good point on the special teams angle.

Yeah, this has got to be a ST play.

I agree with Alexander. This seems like it could be a Lucky Whitehead related workout. James was playing teams in Miami returning punts and kickoffs. Whitehead didn't exactly set the world ablaze when unleashed Sunday and he made a bonehead decision bringing the ball out of the end zone causing further field position issues for an already anemic offense.

James has speed to burn so who knows...

 

[Alexander]

He is more experienced as a kickoff returner, but has some punt returning under his belt too.

If he is signed, then we really had this pass catching back role defined pretty heavy into our offensive system for the year.

 

[Alexander]

Yeah, four. We've got a QB spot to give up, too.

Was not really talking about the 53 but rather the active on gamedays. If he is signed, I resume special teams and part of the active roster each week.

From his Oregon days, for those who might be unfamiliar.
