News: Miles Sanders out for the season

Running back room going as "planned" in my opinion; see what vet brought game and value, then adios the other, and in comes the rooks.

All things stay stable this O will only get better. More speed, power and talent. Youth and fresh legs.

With one ball, going to be interesting how everyone will be used.

We shall see, I'm optimistic.
 
then why diont teams bench their star RB every game in the 2nd half to bring in "Fresh legs?" I mean tey are aways better?

Do you actually watch any football?
So you saying Sanders is our star RB, I’m confused here with you lol. In the case of Sanders, yes fresh legs is much better. Do you watch football?
 
Maybe look at a swap for a WR hangry team that has a back available?

Make Tolbert available with Mingo coming back.
Only thing is, I'd rather make that trade for a decent LB. Sanders was so blah that his injury doesn't even hurt.

If Williams got hurt then yeah, we'd need to make a trade somehow. That's if this season develops to where that's even worth doing.
 
You must be referring to his first carry, that awesome 6-yard run because the next three carries yielded a combined 1 yard.

He's exciting to watch as a kick returner but he looked tentative every time he got the ball on offense. He would take too long to commit. He didn't look to have much power, if any. He didn't just get tackled, her was tossed around like a rag doll.

Don't get me wrong, I want him to succeed, of course. However, even though he is a RB, he needs a little development.

Jayden Blue seems like one of those RBs that has track speed but lacks the instinctive qualities of a RB.

I think it will take another season before we see real productivity from him. The elite RB typically display their talents in their rookie season but i have known of some that need a year to acclimate to the pro game.

I'm not trying to belittle Blue, I hope he has a very successful career with the Cowboys. I'm also no expert in player analysis, I'm just basing my opinion on the observations of a longtime fan that has seen dozens of RBs pass through the Cowboys rosters.
That’s exactly what you’ve been doing in this entire post. But hey, you be you and I’ll be me.
 
Well people have been hollering for him , and last game he was 3 for no gain and 1 decent run for about 4.
They were trying to use him like they would a power back, need to use him differently.
I think they should have brought up mafah if they want 2 power backs.
 
Another mystery Cowboys injury. What a surprise.

Now it is up to Jayden Blue. Hopefully he hangs on to the football when he gets his chance because Mafah might be back soon too.
 
Right now, Jayden is sporting Deuce numbers, 4 carries for 7 yards. I didn't see anything impressive.

He may be fast but
That would have been fun to watch

Oh man and then Tyler Warren at tight end in the first round instead of booker And now we cookin !

Sometimes people get mad reading roster what ifs but I think it’s fun . The personalities of the teams take shape . For example the last few years the team
I thought was kimd
Of boring and lifeless



This years team
Seems fun I always like seeing new guys step up . I don’t think cd lamb needs October stats anyway ya know? Let Pickens get paid for a month
 
I bet you were one of the many that was saying our backfield was utter trash before the season started also.
I bet you were one of many claiming Deuce Vaughn was going to be good.

Javonte has been an amazing surprise, I have no problem admitting I was wrong about him. But let’s not pretend like we can just throw any RB in the lineup and get the same results.

The “we like our guys”/every player the cowboys draft is going to be good mentality has failed over and over again.

I never said Deuce was going to be good. Just like I never said any unproven player is going to be good. I dont predict the future on draft picks, because it akes one look foolish. Trying to make it like they are all knowing.

I predict easy things, like Pickens was going to be a stud this year.

I never said Jevonta was going to be anything, because there was no way of knowing. BUt I will give credit when it is do, and our front office pretty much was giving him the job from day 1, and they were right.

im not sure what you are reading to come to that conclusion.

None of that had anything to do with our current backup running back situation…which was the ONLY thing my original post was about

And you missed my point. We've no clue if our current backup rbs will suck, or be fantastic. You think the bucks knew that bucky Irving was going to be a stud when the used a day 3 draft picknon him? I think he was a 5th rd pick.
