Not a pet cat? Dude's name was all over these boards after we picked him up. Maybe he's just not standing out or just lost in the Deuce shuffle.
It appears Cowboys RB Malik Davis is the favorite to be the No. 2 RB behind Tony Pollard

Too many of the letter "A" for our equipment team because they ran out so we passed on him.

There would have to be an injury or 2. Cook is asking for too much money. Fournette is out of shape. The Cowboys like the guys that they have. Zeke could come in if they have some injuries.

Right. Just because we haven’t seen it doesn’t mean they can’t do it.

Players do improve. Davis has had an entire offseason to better learn his assignments and this offense. He's not the same guy that wasn't trusted seven months ago.

Looks like the ol crystal ball is still functioning well over here on this side of the internet.

To be fair, he was a rookie. He has an extra offseason of preparation now.

It definitely could lead to trouble and a possible trade for an RB during the season. However, the Cowboys still haven’t closed the door on Zeke returning.

He was good as a rookie.

That remains to be seen. If we struggle to pick up a yard or two on critical third and fourth downs and can’t punch it into the endzone from up close, it’s going to lead to big trouble. Would much rather have Zeke than Davis.

In a “all in year”, I wouldn’t have been mad to have signed Dalvin Cook to solidify a position with some questions…….if the salary cap could be managed, of course
I do understand we can’t have pro-bowlers at every position…..but it would be sweet

If you think Malik Davis is going to put on a show you’re going to end up wrong. We better hope Pollard returns to form.

PS game performance is probably the most significant factor in a player making the team. Favorites now do not matter much.

Kind of what I thought also. This isn't really big news. There was mention of it last week.

They plan going with what they have. It will be interesting to see how the running backs do in the preseason games.

The biggest concern with Davis is he’s unproven. When Pollard went down against San Francisco in the playoffs, the Cowboys showed no confidence in him. He didn’t get a single carry. We went with Zeke the rest of the way. Now with Zeke gone and Jones suspended the first two games of the regular season, we have no choice but to give him an opportunity.
