DMN: Cowboys won’t rule out adding young running back before the season

[Fletch]

Montee Ball is on the bubble in Denver. If he's cut, I'd definitely think that the Cowboys would take a look.

 

[LatinMind]

I agree. Today.

Only reason i see them going after a RB is if a young very good RB becomes available. or if one of the 3 get hurt.

We could go long at RB, sign another dude and go short at WR where Whitehead would get the short end of the stick and end up in the PS.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Seattle's run game is good but its numbers are inflated by Russell Wilsons numbers. They traded Unger away and now have Jimmy Graham.. Lynch is a year older.

I heard the Skins may be cutting a guy we could use at RB

Bob Griffin

Another finesse runner? if we are going to convert QBs to RB, then get a big guy like Tebow.

Randle and Dunbar are not what you call insurance if MacFadden happens to get injured.

Why isn't Randle considered insurance?

Part of the RBBC cannot be insurance. He is slated for 200+ carries, someone besides DMC would have to take them.

I still feel good about the running backs. I think Randle and McFadden are going to be fine. If they get a running back to me, It has to be somebody to replace Dunbar. I'm putting some faith in that McFadden will stay healthy and Randle will be reliable and not do something dumb off the field and maybe I'm crazy for thinking that way but that's what I'm rolling with. I don't see the point of Dunbar unless he's the punt and kick returner. I could see where they would get a back that's like a big bruiser for short yardage. That's how I see it. Let's get the season rolling! C'mon Giants

Why isn't Randle considered insurance?

Do you think he can carry the entire load if DMC is injured? How's Randle pass blocking? Can he get the tough yards when we need him to? Can he carry the ball over 20 times a game? Will he steal a pair of underwear during the course of the season?

Randle has too many questions to be considered insurance. Besides he's in the same mold as DMC - a fragile home run hitter that can't break tackles.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

I feel terrible about the RBs and back up QBs. We don't have either one on this roster.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Yes it's inflated by Wilson. However that doesn't disprove the fact they are successful running the ball with a featured back and it helped them get to the Super Bowl.

John Crockett had a big game for GB tonight.

Was a big fan of his going into the draft. Would scoop him up.

I think Montee would be good behind the Dallas line.

Cowboys won’t rule out adding young running back before the season-------I bet they won't !!!!

We could go long at RB, sign another dude and go short at WR where Whitehead would get the short end of the stick and end up in the PS.

Cutting lucky would be a very bad move

Trade a late round pick and OT Gibson for Jarryd Hayne. This solves dilemma at returner and adds a bigger/more physical RB to the RBBC.

S. Jones said as much, only a young back if the opportunity is available.

Yes, fine, yes, yes, no. That should cover it. One thing is very clear. You never saw Randle in college when he got steady work every Saturday. Otherwise you wouldn't have made that last paragraph.

Do you remember who his college QB was? He looked very good as well.

 

[manster4ever]

Man.... Ball was MADE by his Oline at WIsconsin. He's done nothing in the NFL. NADA....ZIP...ZILCH. Wish to heck alot of you guys on here would wake up. He has NO shot of coming here and playing IMO.
