Nooooo, make him chill till Game 1 or bring in somebody else....

His comments were the same ones Miles Austin gave when trying to return from his hamstring injuries. Saying he tested it and wasn't sore and it was getting better. That he will be ready to go (for practice), yada, yada. As we know. Austin steps on the field and it's the same thing. Nothing changed. One thing or another. Hope McFadden proves us wrong. We need him to relieve Randle.

He needs to practice and play in some preseason games there has to be some cohesiveness between him and the OL. You can't just throw a back out there who has never played a down for you and expect positive results in games that count.

Count me in as being frustrated with this guy and his hammies. He could tweak a hammy sitting on the toilet. I have no confidence in this guy going into the season and much less from one game to the next. Amazes me how the Boys with upgraded talent up and down the roster left the position that should be their bread and butter in the hands of these misfits. I understand the OL is or can be one of the best, but its like putting Danny Devito on American Pharoah and saying we got this.

Lord, I hope there is a good RB out there the Cowboys can get prior to the season opener. Cuz Randle is not going to handle a full load and the other two are already breaking down. The sooner the better.

Wouldnt be shocked if he tweeks it again as soon as he practices

"I went out there and did a couple of good runs for a few days and I'm feeling good, didn't get sore or anything," McFadden said Wednesday.

You can't be frustrated with a guy who signed for little and has a injury history. Anything we get from this guy is gravy.. Be frustrated with the front office if at all...

 

[cajuncocoa]

If you check out his injury history which I posted you'll see that every time McFadden has had a hamstring issue it kept reoccurring all season.

First thing my son (who hates the Cowboys) said to me when he heard we signed McFadden. Ugh.

Our RB situation worries me big time.

Look at this. Just ridiculous. There is no reason to count on this guy staying healthy. His legs are just shredded. Joseph Randle is the starter by default at this point.

Well his wheels might fall off then...

His wheels were coming off when the Cowboys signed him. They knew they were getting a clunker he's part of the gamble the team is taking at RB. He has to practice and play some during preseason because if he can't go the Cowboys may have to cut him and bring in another back. He started having hamstring issues back in June and here we are in Aug and the same injury is costing him part of training camp. With Dunbar reportedly having a sprained ankle the Cowboys have to be pretty concerned being thin at RB this early in camp.

We're all worried about the RB situation even the Cowboys are worried this isn't the situation they wanted but they had a dilemma on their hands with both Murray and Dez up for big contracts and could only afford one. They decided to roll the dice with some average backs and bank on their young OL. With the triplets the Cowboys had and some nice pieces added to the defense this had the makings for a terrific team in 2015 but Murray's departure may have thrown a wrench in everything. We'll just have wait and see how his loss affects the running game and Romo's play. We have no idea if this will be the same team without him but we'll soon find out.

I think McFadden may exceed all expectation considering the expectation seem to be very low at this point. lol

The expectations by many of us were that it wouldn't take long before he suffered his first injury. He's already exceeded most expectations that his first injury would occur early in the regular season. lol
