[Risen Star]

McFadden will be inactive tonight vs. the Giants, according to sources. Alfred Morris and Rod Smith will serve as Ezekiel Elliott's backups. It's the first time McFadden will be a healthy scratch in his career.

Utterly DUMB

L'z on the forehead of all who told me part time McFadden was the best option to replace Zeke.

Learn from it.

 

[Roadtrip635]

Wow a little surprised, figured it would be Almo.

Rod Smith plays special teams, so that's why he's active over D-Mac.

Still, the Cowboys are going to have to use Alfred Morris more in the passing game so we're not too predictable.

Please explain.

I agree with it. Morris is s better ZBS runner than DMC, but I'm shocked it happened.

 

[unionjack8]

Please explain.

He is a better runner than Morris. Can block in the pass game which Morris CANNOT. can return kicks. Morris does?????

What about ODB?

 

[Risen Star]

Please explain.

He thinks Darren McScabbin is talented.

He's a role player. Nobody cares. The more he plays the less you want him to.

Morris is turd.....

No he's not. He's dropped weight and you could see how much more explosive he looked over the summer. He will get a couple series tonight to keep Elliott fresh.

But with McFadden inactive, looks like Zeke is the third down guy. Alf can't catch too well.

What about ODB?

He's out running routes. Still undecided. Should know in about 20 minutes

If he plays target his injury....

Morris is an actual legit feature back. McFadden has never been that in his entire career. College or pro.

So we got a better backup to Zeke should he go down and this also means Zeke on 3rd downs.

Win/win.
