About the running game. As much as I like DM do you think Dunbar fits this offense better? I got the feeling watching today that Dunbar seems to be more explosive and can get to the outside and hit the hole a lot faster. I think if they fed him the ball more the rushing yards would've been up. I could be wrong but just an observation

I've never been a big fan of Murray. Dunbar is a nice looking back. He would be deadly on screens, too bad we haven't run one successfully since 1998.

Murray won't see a 2nd contract here.

I just felt like Dunbar gives this offense some quick speed especially if you go 3 wide with Witten at TE and LD as the single back. I like DM but it would be hard to keep Dunbar on the sideline.

I think they are two different kinds of RB. Not sure Dunbar could carry the ball 15 times a game or more on a routine basis but he might. I like the tandem. Dunbar is more explosive in space that's for sure and has the speed I once thought Murray had. Pushes Tanner down the pole.

Speaking of Tanner did he suit up? I think he won't make the team. I wonder if Dunbar could handle 18-20 carries a game. If he could learn not to take big hits he possibly could. I just think this offense is different when he is in there

He'll see more playing time if he gets better at blocking.

Well I will be honest I hope we see more of him. I've never been a fan of running back by committee. But it would be something of that kid just stole that spot as the year went on
