McFadden was impressive with his speed and burst, but again, he went down when faced with resistance.

I don't know what to make of it at this stage. It looked like we were running completely different plays between the two of them.

That's true. McFadden could see more playing time during the season due to his blocking ability. There's probably not a lot of difference in the two. Randle is more durable but I would imagine they trust McFadden more and he just looks like a better back to me but I may be biased since I'm from Arkansas...

Won't matter who start. They will split the carries. My biggest question is not who runs better but which one of them have better intangibles. What I mean is, which one of them can make people miss more? Which one of them can pass protect? Finally, which one of them can catch better out of the backfield. I hope the Cowboys have that in mind to see which one of them get the most carries.

Randle, McFadden, McFadden

Randle is more elusive. McFadden is better at blitz pickup than Murray, Randle isn't even in the conversation. McFadden is a better receiver.

That play that go us inside the ten, he made some really sweet cuts. Also, Whitehead was putting on a great block on the outside, I believe a play before he scored.

Everything is a numbers game....how many more shots does Romo take during the course of a season with Randle out there vs. McFadden or whomever? That's the part that concerns me the most with him.

Numbers show McFadden is really good in pass protection. Don't think Randle helped himself tonight with the poor blitz pickup.

I think you start DMac..

he has 3 times the experience starting and should do better than Randle.

Bring Randle in off the bench like he has done before.

And I think Dunbar HAS to get at least 10 touches a game, too.

Spread the carries and let guys be fresh as games drag on.

The OL needs to see the different backs more to get timing going.

I'd rotate them every down until somebody gets it going then feed them the ball.
