Jerry Jones: McFadden Earned Right To Start

[AKATheRake]

Jerry wants Run DMC to start.

Run DMC looked like he was playing with more juice last game for sure.

Those wheels were rolling in ways he didn't show in previous games.

Now that he's showing them lets give him the carries.

I agree with them but this is where they are making a mistake.

McFadden will get hurt.

Just give Michael the bulk of carries and keep McFadden in the Dunbar role.


If you want to increase McFaddens workload in December then go for it. Don't do it now.

Why? I'd rather let C-Mike spell DMC

I think it's obvious that DMC is the most complete back we have and there seemed to be some good chemistry with the line. I say run it until he breaks and by that time Randle will be back and they can figure out another rotation with Randle C-Mike and R.Smith

People said that about Murray last year and look what happened. You go with the best back on the roster and that's clearly McFadden.

Stripping McFadden of the starting role after the performance he just had makes no sense at all.

He'll get hurt. It's what he does.

He is healthy right now because of the role he has been in.

If you want to potentially lose him then increase his workload.

Why do we have play scared? Injuries are going to happen he could get an injury on his first carry or his 30th. He's healthy and strong right now. Maybe he won't get hurt give him 20-25 carries a game. the o-line responded to him and there was finally chemistry between a RB and the OL why not ride that like we did last year? He need to win some games lets get back to what made this team win games last year, and it wasn't by RBBC or trying to protect someone from injury. If hes confident let him run!

I doubt DMC would agree that he needs to limit his carries because he *might* get injured.

I agree and you're right about McFadden being healthy because of how we used him. I'm sure the coaching staff knew that they would use him toward the end of the year.

Run DMC does get hurt.

However, we need wins and he's clearly still got major talent and will probably get better in the next few games as he gets repetition with the line in game action.

He probably will have to play through pain and or injury eventually and history shows he's not good at doing so.

We have no choice.

We need some juice on offense. Badly!

Im all for not playing scared but with as much information that is out on McFadden I would say not giving him the bulk of carries is leaning more towards smart and not scared.

Now that McFadden has shown that he might be hitting his stride, I would go with a 60/40 split with CMike. This keeps McFadden fresh all game long and limits the potential for him getting injured while also bring CMike further into the fold. This 1,2 combo can work and would also cause me to retire my Scatback By Committee reference.

I understand the concern

 

[Zordon]

Thanks Coach Jones. Use him full time and he'll be on the injury report in no time. Use his burst 5-10 times a game and be happy with it.

If he is the hot hand, then run him until he blows out a hamstring, which might not be long.

We need to win a game, not worry about "preserving" a historically fragile player.

If that means using up his "juice" in a couple of games, so be it.

Fair enough.

We are desperate.

 

[DallasDomination]

Dmc went from the worst rb on our te to the best in one game?

 

[links18]

And half this board had McFadden getting cut last week.....smh.

 

[Direwolf63]

You go with the guy who gives you the best chance of winning games. That's McFadden. If he gets hurt, so be it. But as long as he's healthy, he should get the bulk of the carries.

What has Michael done to deserve to be inserted in the starting role?

Once be drafted in the second round?

This Michael hype is utterly ridiculous.

Hey, remember when you wanted us to sit/waive McFadden and sign Brandon Jacobs?

 

[AKATheRake]

Thanks Coach Jones. Use him full time and he'll be on the injury report in no time. Use his burst 5-10 times a game and be happy with it.

Come on man. I was hoping 15-20 carries. 20-25 touches period.

 

[Direwolf63]

Dmc went from the worst rb on our te to the best in one game?

Well that one game was 150+ yards rushing. As Jerry said, he's earned the spot.
