What should the Cowboys have done? Who was available out there to be Murray's replacement that would come at the price that Dallas was willing to pay for a free agent back? Jerry wasn't just intrigued at McFadden because of the Arkansas routes, but he obviously felt he could have success here that he didn't have in Oakland because of the fact that he'd have a supporting cast that he never had. An elite quarterback that would command the respect of the defense, an elite receiver to draw a safety away from the line of scrimmage, more room to run than ever before. People are already claiming it's a failure after two freaking games which is ridiculous. This is an offensive line that hardly played together in pre-season. It takes time to gel especially when you have injuries to key starters like Leary and one of your starters is still clearly hampered by a neck injury like Martin is. That showed itself against Philadelphia when he struggled to turn his head and just in general. Probably his worst game as a pro. As for Randle creating his own holes he averaged even less yards per carry than McFadden did in Week 2. In Week 1 he got 10 more carries than DMC did. Of course his numbers should be better when that's the case. Yeah McFadden only averaged a little over 3 against the Eagles, but he got going in the fourth quarter and had a nice run taken away due to penalty which skewed the stats a bit. I don't see Michael fixing everything if the run blocking doesn't improve. Yeah he's more of a true downhill back that's great, but he can't make people miss like the three current backs can. That comes into play.
