Well, Dallas has gone through RD 5 and no RB is drafted. Jerry's drooling over Brooks didn't pan out.

Even if Dallas finds a Dollar General RB in RD6, RD7 or UDFA, to put your faith/weight in anyone here is not likely.
And to trade for a RB from a team that has a surplus still isn't much faith in and will lose draft capital for 2025, which hurt the Dallas draft capital in 2024, where they really could have used that 4th RD pick for a RB.

So the rumor/reports that E Elliott return to Dallas is looking more and more likely. Most will not to thrilled with this, but Elliott will not demand much in a contract with Dallas already dealing with his "dead" cap space from his previous contract.

Elliott "should" be happy ( if this happens) to come back to the Cowboys where he really did enjoy. Play with his friend Dak and with this "rebirth", hopefully comes in in good shape.
No one is going to expect Elliott to be a 1,000 rusher but Elliott does stay healthy. He is a good block RB to protect Dak and does know how to get that 1-2 yards to get into the end zone.

Rico Dowdle will have to stay healthy and get more use out of him. Plus the RB they got in FA from the Rams and let's see what UDFA this team can find. And will Deuce Vaughn make significant improvement from his disappointing rookie season

No one is going to expect that he will even have a chance to be beat out by someone else!

First of all, let me say I don't agree with Jerry, Zeke's not a no. 1 at this point.

But just for grins, after reading all the "Zeke's 3.5 ypc" comments, I went to the Pat's website and looked up some plays.
Like in their first game, Stevenson's first carries went for 1, -1, 1 and -1 yards.

Which may mean nothing, but it would seem to indicate the Pats' o-line was pretty bad, and that Zeke getting 3.5 ypc just might not be a really good indicator of Zeke's abilities. But every team is different.

Zeke was a good running back for Dallas, had to sit out 6 games ih his prime for a non-proven charge by someone won the rushing title twice and did everything they asked of him, including playing center on the most bone-headed formation I've seen in 55 years of watching football.

Good luck Zeke, whatever happens...

So, if he comes back, I'll support and root for him, whether he does good or bad I'll still like him...

Zeke, Rico and Leupke can carry the load and combine for 1500 yards. We will have a wild card team in the least. Let’s roll. Put it all on dak. Make him earn that 60 mil per year. I’m all in.

Dak will have to throw 60 times a game, that will be a disaster

This is where the offense becomes one-dimensional and the weight of the game falls Dak's shoulders. Good luck with that.

As of this second we might have the worst RB room in the NFL.

I don't think there is any *may* about it. We do.

I think 6th round is the highest investment we have in the room.

Is that why they are having such a good draft?

They draft good, but they don't use every tool at their disposal. Free agent is a huge one, this year all their biggest needs and holes had some one available at those positions. Eckler signed a 2 year 8 million dollar deal, Aaron Jones too. Smh
