Want to see 6'0 250 Joey Iosefa signed to practice squad. Cowboys need a short yardage snow plow specialist.

He can go over, under or around but he prefers to go thru things, with maximum violence.

Yeah let's point out a couple of things he did wrong (which every player in sports has faults) and completely ignore everything else he did. He led the league in rushing. He made nothing plays into something. He kept drives alive. He was a threat out of the backfield and was one of the better pass blockers in the backfield in the NFL. He was a bell cow.

But yeah, those grow on trees. I'm sure McGimp and Randle will easily just slide in that role.

But they won;t. Because they aren't even half as talented as Murray.

Where was mr league leading rusher before our O-Line started dominating?

He was just another average-above average back.

I'm not slotting on either side of the argument of signing him. It was a business decision, and hopefully the talent we have can fill that gap.
But lets not disrespect the man either. He was always talented, better than solid, not quite spectacular, and injury prone. With talent around him he's a really good back. Hopefully Randle and McFadden can fill the same role with their various strengths and weaknesses.

LOL......you cant even answer a simple question. I think Randle is a liability in the pass blocking department. If you agree with that, then just keep quiet. If you dont, then just say so.

Bro, I'm a lurker with a birds eye view of many of your posts/discussions, and I can tell you that your schtick is getting old. It's clear that your entire m.o. is to arouse other people by starting arguments with them, and then thumping your chest like you "won" everytime someone has grown bored of your shenanigans and decides to ignore you. Really, all you're doing is exposing your own insecurities little boy...

Randle doesn't even have the body structure of an every down back. He's a solid back up. I'd roll with McFadden getting 20 carries and give randle 5-8.

Yes.

I find it very amusing that people say things like:

McFadden should be cut
McFadden will be cut
Cut him, he's already hurt
Jerry would never start him
He can't start
Etc etc etc


If you could crawl into Jerry's mind... It would clear to see that....
A. He got someone he wanted
B. he feels like Darren has something left
C. He thinks McFadden can resurrect, no, he thinks Darren can FINALLY get his career going

Jerry is going to come out looking REAL, REAL good on this one.


And... Jerry will get him nice contract. Soon.

If you crawl into Jerry's mind, it's painfully obvious he picked him up because he is a Razorback. The sole reason we reached for Felix Jones. Even stephen made a comment about it regarding McFadden earlier in camp.

Add it to my list.

Its certainly not the only reason. Certainly not the main reason.

I have been beating up the FO all off season for not replacing Murray or signing Murray; more then anybody. And I still dont agree with how they are handling the situation. But, here we are;

I think Randle is a better then average scatback/change of pace back. Nothing more, nothing less.

However, I am jumping on the DMC train. If he can stay healthy, I am now thinking, he could have a hell of year, out-of-oakland-and-behind-this-line. I think DMC can be the guy. Comeback player of the year type year!

That's the problem. I doubt he ever stays healthy. And if he goes down, our RBs now become Randle and Dunbar. That's not a winning recipe. No defense respects them in the run game and I'd blitz anytime they are in there seeing as they can't protect Romo.
