JJT: Cowboys don't have running back to match their philosophy

[jobberone]

Well people say we are supposed to pay based on what they will do not what they have done.
And it was his fault he got hurt, all the other players dont get dehydrated like he does, and I think that led to the foot
injury. bones become more likely to break when your dehydrated.

Then the cowboys should know that, and not put him back in the game, the iv he gets makes him feel better but wont hydrate the bones.
I also dont think he stayed in shape during off season, and I read he showed up overweight too.
It is up to him to be hydrated and ready to play, and he wasnt ready for game 1, and that led to the injury.

The 1st int in carolina game instead of trying to chase down the guy, he stood there and talked to the cb, and had he
made a effort he could have made the tackle around the 10.
That play says a lot.
Later in same game Romo threw to him as he ran down sideline, and he didnt make much of a effort to get to ball
so inc.

I am curious to see just how he does this year. and if any more iv's are needed.

No he didn't create the trauma himself.

No bones don't break because they are dehydrated. Bones are minerals and contain little water as it should be. Bones break due to the laws of physics and in particular F=MV². If the force bends the bone far enough it will break. Obviously there are other applications of force that create spiral fractures, chips, etc.

Your post is about as non-factual as they come.

Good defense works if you're stopping the other team from passing effectively. It makes it much easier to outperform them offensively. MIN got better by improving their defense and improving their passing game. Peterson in his youth was there with Ponder for a long time, but the results were not the same.

Interesting agree about the def but he was the center piece of the offense and carried that team for stretches. Defense agree about their defense.

Whose only postseason win in Peterson's 8 seasons was with Favre at QB.

Good point. He still is a beast. Dickerson didn't win a title either. Being elite doesn't guarantee a ring.

With a true foundation back QB play isn't nearly as important just ask the Vikings.

I think it is a combination not just either or.
The year Vikings were good with farve, they had a good defense, good QB and recievers, and I dont remember
how their run game was that year.
But if AP was playing they had all 3 things going.
They came close to being a SB team, and both the cards and vikings were knocked out by the cheating bounty hunting saints,
who went on to win the SB.
NO beat farve up and knocked warner out.

Dangers of Dehydration to Your Bones

Your Bones are comprised 22% water. Without ample quantities of water you will not have a strong skeletal structure, your bones become brittle and weak and break easy and you will be unable to stand up straight.

Small bones like the one he broke or fractured, could be more affected than major large bones if dehydrated in a game.

Murray used to drink a enormous amount of water in days leading up to games to prevent DH during a game.
Dez should know and could do the same thing, but doesnt.

With the quality of the current Medical Staff for Dallas, my bet is that very few stones go unturned as to potentials.

Hate to tell you this but no one feared the Dallas offense last year after Romo went down. There have been plenty of thoughtful and factual posts concerning the running game last year and it being just as effective as the year before.

Dallas was terrible in third and short situations last year , but I am sure the great running game had no part in that. The stats may have looked okay, but the impact on the field helped to achieve a 4-12,record. That is the facts that count .

That's not a fact @jnday. That's your opinion. Look at @percyhoward posts re the running game. Those are the facts.

I'll bet you a modest amount that if Romo is healthy the 3rd down conversion rate will be roughly the same as 2014.

And it was his fault he got hurt

It's his own fault he broke his foot?

I literally can't think of anything to say to that. Wow.

I have no idea where they came up with that figure although if you count cancellous bone and marrow you will find water. The part of bone we're discussing is called cortical bone and is a matrix of connective tissue with little water and calcium hydoxylapatite which does have hydroxyl groups but not H2O per se. Cortical bone is what supports the body and this is what is breaking. Brittle bones are ones which are not dense enough and there isn't enough calcium phosphate in the form of calcium hydroxylapatite. This is known as osteoporosis. Adding water to bone, if one could, would make it more pliable and less dense.

If you're going to look for scientific facts I suggest reading in appropriate places and not health forums generally written by laypersons. That's not meant in a condescending way either but just good advice to those seeking science on the internet.

One cannot hydrate their bones and if they could I would advise them not to.

Urban legend.

 

[alicetooljam]

And Morris is better than him ....... .

Youre in for an awakening....

 

[gmoney112]

I don't trust a grown man with earrings.

We took these OL to protect Tony, pass protection. Anyone remember Arkin and Costa? Is Procter out of his 3 point stance yet?

Our "philosophy" is a balanced, physical offense centered around Tony, as it should. The plus to getting talented lineman is their ability to mash faces in the run game.

He also says McFadden wasn't good enough for defenses to play 8 in the box. Was I blind? After Tony went down, it looked like there 8-9 guys near the LOS at all times because our run game was the *only* threat

 

[zrinkill]

Youre in for an awakening....

I guess we will see.

 

[alicetooljam]

I guess we will see.

I HOPE he is good (obviously have my doubts), but its not going to be Murray good. People complained how slow Murray was...wait til you see Morris.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Nobody considered Murray a dominate running back before 2014 started. If you claim they or you did ........ you are lying.

Alfred Morris is more of a dominate running back than Murray.

Sorry pal, but I did and said so here many times.

[Beast_from_East]

Our problem last year was the QB not being available, and not anything to do with the RB position.

The fact the team spent an entire week trying to bring Murray back tells me they believe there was a significant drop in the RB play

So the idea that the RB position had nothing to do with us losing last year is false, obviously the organization feels that Murray was significantly better, otherwise we spend a week trying to bring him back?

I'll bet you a modest amount that if Romo is healthy the 3rd down conversion rate will be roughly the same as 2014.

Percy gave some stats concerning third and one and the percentage of rushing success. I remember another stat from a couple weeks ago showing that Dallas was one of the worst in the league on third and short yardage situations which would be third and three , etc. I assume that is the stats you are talking about .a quick check did show that the team was the 27th worse on third down conversions as a whole.

 

[jnday]

I found plenty of stats supporting that the team was ranked in the 20's on rushing third down down conversions , but there is a stat for about anything. The result was 4-12 anyway you look at it . There is no sugar coating that. The offense was no threat at all in the rushing or passing game.
