Irvin: Cowboys RB could 'end world hunger' with meat he's left on the bone

After DeMarco Murray signed with Philadelphia in March, Cowboys running back Joseph Randle said that it was a good thing that Murray was leaving Dallas because he wasn't getting the job done.

Clearly, Randle wasn't impressed by Murray's league-leading 1,845 rushing yards in 2014. According to Randle, Murray could've had even more yards last season, but he didn't, because he left a lot of meat "on the bone."

"He (Murray) had a good year last year, but I got to sit back and watch a lot and I felt like there was a lot of meat left on the bone," Randle said earlier this year.

With Murray out of the picture in Dallas this season, Randle has had a chance to take all of the meat off the bone in the Cowboys running game, but that's not exactly what's happened so far. Just ask Hall of Famer Michael Irvin.

During an interview with KZDC-AM in San Antonio this week, Irvin said that Randle's left more meat on the bone than anyone.

"All that meat on the bone. We could all get full on it right now. We could end world hunger right now,"

Irvin said, via the Dallas Morning News.

Randle has 291 yards through five games this season. Murray had 285 yards after just two games last year.

Irvin doesn't think the Cowboys should have ever gotten rid of Murray.

"People got on me pretty hard all offseason when I was talking about that, that you can't just stick anybody back there. It doesn't work that way. I wish it did,"

Irvin said.

Unfortunately for Randle, he's left so much meat on the bone that Dallas is expected to give some extra playing time to Christine Michael this week.

"I know they're gonna give Christine Michael some run this week. That's the kicker. If this kid can get out and do some great running and get that run game back on track and you start talking about Dez coming back," Irvin said. "Then you start looking like something. Hopefully, this week it'll get going."

As for Randle, Irvin thinks the Cowboys running back would probably take back his "meat on the bone" comment if he could.

"Ask Randle, do you see things a little differently now than you did before as you talk about DeMarco Murray," Irvin said. "It ain't as easy as you think."

As a team, the 2-3 Cowboys have rushed for a total of 533 yards in five games this season. At the game point last season, Murray was at 670 yards.

Randle might be able to take consolation in the fact that he's outrushing Murray this year though (291-242).

I love the Playmaker. That end world hunger line was classic.

Yakuza Rich · Oct 24, 2015

Thank you Playmaker.

Bleu Star · Oct 24, 2015

I swear. I was just expressing this identical thought earlier this week. Thanks to the Playmaker for validating.

His validation (the message) will sink in because now it's not just coming from another fan. :thumbup:

Nothing beats world hunger comedy bits coming from guys who are rich.

Yes it was!

Bleu Star · Oct 24, 2015

I'm going to go ahead and predict that many will stay away from this level of validation. I completely understand. :popcorn:

Cowboys never "got rid" of Murray. He left a better situation ( before these injuries ) but a lil more money. The Eagles are still struggling to figure out what to do with him. If Romo & Dez were still healthy, Randle ( or any RB for that matter ) would have a better chance at getting that "meat" from the bone.

That's all well and true. But unless CMike does well, we don't have a RB on the roster.

& as stone cold says, THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.

It's just a lot of tofu that Randle is eating

StarBoyz83 · Oct 24, 2015

It's true but the OL hasn't run blocked a quarter ss good as it did last year yet.

JR should have just kept his mouth shut
