I forgot about McFadden, it’s a shame how Joseph Randle ended up.
LOL....that 2015 season.
Didn't resign DeMarco Murray, the leading rusher in 2014. Murray was so successful in 2014 that they were able to reduce Romo's passing by at least 20%. With less pressure as a result of great running attack, 2014 was he only year in which Tony Romo was the leading passer in the NFL in terms of passer rating.
So, Jerry gives us this brilliant analysis on Joseph Randle, but not as brilliant as Joesph Randle himself. Randle claimed that Murray "left too much meat on the bone" and he would rectify that. Apparently, this was to happen once Randle was fully stocked in underwear and cologne. He was so concerned about this that he forgot to pay the cashier and got popped for shoplifting.
Anyway, Klepto Joe would look great with his first five carries of the game. After that, he averaged less than two yards a carry. When he was told he was being replaced by McFadden, he left the team. A few weeks later he was arrested in a motel for weed, carrying a gun without a permit, and domestic abuse. After a half dozen more arrests later, Randle is now in a state hospital for competency restoration.
McFadden had 6 hundred yard games and the Cowboys lost five of them. this was the season that Romo was hurt and when Cassel flatlined, it became a game of musical quarterbacks that included Brandon Weeden and even Kellen Moore.
McFadden got the majority of his yards late in the season when the Cowboys were constantly behind and the defenses were keying on the passing game. They pretty much ignored run defense and were pinning their ears back for a pass rush on almost every play.
Their three pro Bowl linemen, Smith, Martin and Fredericks were 25, 25, and 24 years of age. Dan Baily made the Pro Bowl, he was the Cowboys leading scorer by 85 points over Cole Beasely.
The Cowboys management disrespects the position of RB at about the same degree as they worship the WR position and it cost them the 2010 and 2015 seasons.
