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

All I know is that Dallas finally put together 4 quarters of good running football. The first 100 yard rusher this season and the first one since Murray

What impressed me most about it was the chemistry displayed between the line and DMC he setup his blocks and took advantage of some good blocking.

The line worked for him and he worked for the line he made some tough inside runs that kept his feet moving and pushed the pile for a couple of first downs. The Oline guys love that ****! You have to move forward and continue to use DMC until he can't or he gets hurt because there is chemistry there and it will only open up the passing game now.

It's the first time since Romo went down heck all season that we've seen the run game open up the pass game and its somethings this team can build on like last year.

I think this game showed how one RB and the OL can get in sync and make things happen as opposed to a RBBC approach were none of the backs run enough consecutive plays to get things clicking. I thought Darren and the OL did a very good job and I stand corrected about him.

Giants also gave up Murray's first 100+yd game of the season (112yds). (Hyde had 93yds the week before). McFadden had 152yds.

I can't help but think that if Randle hadn't gotten hurt, he could have done 152 or better (2 carries, 24yds)

Yep. I saw meat McFadden left out there that he couldn't get because he can't change direction well. I haven't seen Randle leave much on the bone. In fact he has eaten the meat and the bone on a number of occassions.

Hahahaha I'm dying!!! So that explains why he is nonexistent in the 2nd half of games he's full from all that meat and bone... You Randle lovers are funny:lmao2:

Then you're not playing close enough attention.

Randle looks good to start off, but he wears down because he can't handle the workload. He's a change of pace back and that's all he ever will be. McFadden at least proved he could handle the work for a game something Randle has never done. Randle just hesitates too much, doesn't hit the hole, tries to make the home run play. McFadden is clearly the superior back.

ONE good season? Funny how one earns TWO pro bowls on ONE good season. And if Murray does not get injured his rookie season he easily breaks 1000 yards, Cowboys rookie rushing record and a pro bowl to boot. And this is not starting a game until week 6. The week before he breaks Emmitt's single game rushing record as the 2nd string RB.

One GOOD season? How about one AMAZING season where he not only breaks the Cowboys single season franchise rushing record, breaks NFL record for consecutive 100 yard games, earning 1st team All Pro and Offensive Player of the League. Guess that only qualifies as one GOOD season .... from ungrateful fans with no sense of reality.

Reality is, he's gone. Get over it.

Reality is you are wrong or just ignorant. Truth hurts but I'm sure you'll find a way to twist it.

He's gone. How am I wrong? There's your Truth. The continued whining about it, wont be bringing him back. He had a good run with us, then moved on. Do the same.

Truth is we screwed the pooch by letting Demarco go without putting up the fight of a team that might have appeared as though they wanted to keep the essence of their close proximity to a Super Bowl run alive. Sadly the front office probably, like most of you, played the law of historic averages with RBs instead of using their gut instincts. The end result was a significant downgrade and a significant decrease in our ability to force our will upon opposing defenses on the ground. We still have a slight chance to get back to that formula. You know... The one that put us very close to winning it all last year.

I'm a glass half full kinda guy. I'll hold out hope until our season is six feet under. Perhaps now with this reinjuring of Randle's oblique, the coahing staff will finally be forced to remove him from the lead dog role for good... A place where he nevery belonged. He is a change of pace back not a lead dog. Admit you were wrong by making the necessary adjustments in the backfield to bring yourselves closer to last year's winning formula.

There's your thuth.
