Gus Johnson separated shoulder

[Romonater]

Separated his shoulder per Garrett

That's 4 RBs hurt so far this preseason and counting.

 

[The Natural]

a separated shoulder is not a season ending injury, not that he was even a lock for the team.

 

[DFWJC]

Crazy stuff.
The good news is that the three ahead of Gus should be back by next game

 

[Spectre]

I didn't see the game but the numbers show he had a lot of work tonight... and wasn't all that impressive.
I know folks will run to his defense- as the current darling of training camp- but numbers don't lie.

I was impressed with his toughness, not really his vision. He's very raw

Chris Johnson has a pending open offer from the cardinals on a 1 year deal.
We are running out of time. Backs will go down in preseason around the league. The veterans will find homes.
Just saying.

I agree that he's raw. 'Toughness' isn't enough at this level. 'Vision' is a must.

He has a Phillip Tanner ceiling, and now he's injured.

He's a practice squad guy at this point.

Dallas FO needs to stop with this nonsense about waiting for a runningback to fall to their laps. It ain't going to happen. Its to to possibly sign a vet or make a trade for a runningback. The longer they wait, the more this will become a bigger issue. Its already an issue and to say not to worry means being in a state of denial.

Someone mentioned CJ. I would at least bring him in to see what he's got. This will light a fire under the butts with this present RB group that they can be easily replaced. Enough with the concept that were going to keep a bunch of mediocre backs for the rest of the year. Lets open it up for competition and you'll finally see all those nicks and bruises will disappear and they will all want to play during preseason.

Dude looked like the ultimate jag tonite. Nothing stood out to me

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

See ya wasn't impressed at all.

Numbers lie when you don't watch the game. Go away.

So let's recap again.

McFadden is doing what he has done his entire career and finding ways to get injured.

Randle has looked a little above average in TC, and is also injured.

Dunbar is merely a scatback and is also injured.

Golden Boy Williams proved he has no place in the NFL.

And Johnson looks like a JAG who needs a year on the practice squad before ever even taking over the #3 spot.

All of this is a month before the season opener and we should be complacent with what we have. Maybe Clutts will be forced again to play HB and become a Peyton Hillis-like story. Here's to you, Clutts!

I thought Gus Johnson ran decently tonight. He got the dirty yards and had a couple of nice runs; including runs after contact (the TD run being a prime example).

 

[mattjames2010]

Numbers lie when you don't watch the game. Go away.

But he wasn't impressive. Numbers are telling the truth.

On short yardage and goal line he was excellent. That is all he would ever be asked to do this year.

How'd Melvin do????

ouch.

How'd Melvin Gordan look? 6 carries, 11 yards. We should have drafted a RB right? LOL

Melvin Gordon has about a million times more upside over that JAG.

Should we go through preseason history to see great RBs who did next to nothing on a preseason opener? I doubt you'd want to go down that road.

But hey, let's keep elevating mediocre RBs to be something they are not.

Yeah, thats what I thought. That JAG had better NUMBERS than Gordon. Stats don't lie, eh?

Sounds like you have agenda. Every RB on our team has a reason they will fail. Gordon is million times better. Ok. ha.
