Marinelli pushing for Zeke

Jeff Wade is reporting on the Fan that Rod Marrinelli is wanting the Cowboys to draft Ezekiel Elliot.

This is not exactly new, but thank you for sourcing since people keep denying it.
 
I understand why he wants a good RB.

Murray helped his defense out a lot in the 2014 season.

A good running game helps with time of possession and gives the defense help.

yeah mike was on earlier and echoed the same sentiment. best way to improve a defense is keep them off the field.
 
Not when he doesn't like his options on defense and thinks a running back can best help his defense and this team.

If this is true, I'm ecstatic.

No, his input is obviously valuable. Just struck me as funny that our DC is putting in his two cents. Hey, why not? We've already heard from current players, former players, former players turned analysts, etc.
 
If the DC is telling you to grab the supposed all-world RB over the supposed all-world DB, perhaps you should listen to him?

Is it just me, or is corner not a priority position in Marinelli's defense? What matters to him is that guys are competitive and make plays on the ball. Tillman comes to mind. Is that a thing or did I just make that up?
 
Marinelli on the bandwagon now?

Not necessarily. It's could be more of a case of the coaching staff (after discussion) presenting a unified front that is in opposition to the scouts' wishes.
