I'm really not kidding here. It is great! what muarry has accomplished so far. New 4 year contract on the table and running lights out. Very happy for him ,but is it good for our Cowboys? Probably not.

I.ve watch him since he entered the league. In the great Rams game some time ago he was spent and actually gave up on a run and who could blame him. The man gave his all. Push forward to this year. As much as you guys want him to be the NFL's rush leader and the Cowboys lead the league, i'm not impressed.

That and about $1.30 will get you a cup of Joe in most places. get him scaled back to about 16 to 20 touches a game if you want him to have anything left down the final Month of the season.

Call me crazy. it won't be the first time so, i'm use to it...lol,

I like to see Dunbar used more in the screen game. Dunbar and Randle should of each 5 to 6 touches to give Murray a rest.

Some will come and argue rythem . I get it but, don't ride him into the ground. Yes, he is still young. I personally want him around for a while. Running backs are d-valued in this new area but some have a little extra. We have one of those...PSSSSSTTT...manage the horse. it's been a while since dallas could take that kind of pressure off Romo and run some clock.

Absolutely want to see Dunbar out there rather than Clutts. Would have liked to see some fakes incorporated in our offense.

I think using Dunbar would help take this offense to another level. Same with Beasley. I'm confused as to why we're still playing pretty much straight up.

Loved that screen pass to Dunbar last week. Definitely would like to see more of both of them out there.

i have a suspicion that we are holding a little something back for the Giant-Commander back-to-back games. I expect we've saved some wrinkles for those games

We aren't playing "straight up" - Beasley had 34 snaps. He would have more if he could block - Street and Harris are coming in b/c they are good blockers.

Dunbar (and Escobar) are victims of the greatness of the #1 guys. Murray caught 6 balls yesterday. Murray is the best runner. He's the best pass catcher and he's the best pass protector. Hard to get time when that sort of beast is in front of you.

Like AbeBeta said, I feel like the offense is holding back some things. I'm suprised we haven't use the Dunbar screen threat more. His speed is electrifying.

I agree with you very much....However, He's flesh and bone at the end of the day.

Yep I agree. They need to get some snaps.
Murray is killing it but I don't think he has had a season where he has played the full season even in college.
He is currently on pace to break the teams season rushing attempts record and that is huge when you consider how much of a work horse emmitt was.

Give the other guys a few more snaps here and there.

I imagine it gets hard when you want him in there in tight games and he is probably still a vastly superior back when it comes to pass blocking compared to the other two.

Dunbar and Beasley (I know this thread is about RB's, but point withstanding) could be huge assets this sunday

We need to counter their speed and use these guys more. I can't wait for this matchup.

Been saying for a few weeks we need to spread the ball around more. Maybe this week we will. We're playing with fire giving Murray 31 carries a game.

I'd like to see more of them, especially Dunbar, just to help keep some wear and tear off of Murray but I understand how hard it is to take a guy out of there whose killing it for you each and every week. The dude has close to 700 yards in 5 games on the ground. He's absolutely playing at such a high level it's very hard to take him off the field.

I really want to see them incorporate more Escobar down the stretch. In the passing game he can attack all points of the field whereas Hannah is most effective in the seam and Witten short over the middle.

I think once teams overwhelming gameplan to stop the run, Escobar will be a major weapon
