Pic of McFadden run against Vikings

Yep and myself and others blame it on Oakland.

We'll find out soon if the situation was the problem or if it was his talent.

He was the 4th overall pick. His talent should show regardless.

It is like saying Carr and Claiborne will be good now that we have a pass rush. They should always be good.

Did the Bease get called for holding on that play? Cannot remember...

No just saying when a small guy is trying to block bigger they tend to resort to a hold. Beasley as you said at least tried to block his man.

The thing is, bro...a CB can be all World, but if he has to cover a receiver for 15 minutes at a time, the receiver and the QB, if he has the time, always have the advantage.

Yeah but the Corner position has so many things going against it.

The rules are so hard on DB's and then you factor in one of the worst pass rushes in the league and you're going to struggle regardless of how good you are.

IMO, Corner is the 2nd hardest position in the NFL after QB and the next hardest position is a distant 3rd.

I don't know about distant 3rd but being a left tackle is a pretty tough task in this league.

I don't know that to be true. It's likely as with any back, the more you run them the more likely they will be hurt. But to automatically claim that if we run him 20 or more times a game, he won't last seems wrong. After all, we had the same problem going into last year, didn't we. An oft injured back that couldn't be relied on to be a work horse. A back that had not played a full season in his career and was injured in college as well. Yet, he played all 16 games and rushed for 1800 yards and had over 400 touches last year. I do not want to use McFadden that much, not saying that at all. I think 10-12 touches a game is about what I want him to get. But If that other back can do it, who says McFadden couldn't do it if given the chance.

It's true with McFadden based on his lengthy injury history. He's only gone one season without having an injury put him out of the lineup and that was last season. He only averaged around 10 carries a game last season and he's never had a season where he's averaged more than 14 carries a game. Murray had 3 straight injury plagued seasons prior to last season but McFadden had 6 straight injury plagued seasons prior to last season but he only received 155 carries.

If the Cowboys try forcing 20 carries a game on him he's not going to hold up based on his history. Murray didn't have as many "nagging" injuries as McFadden and he didn't have hamstring issues. McFadden has already had both hamstrings keep him out of some OTA work and part of training camp. I think 10-12 touches a game is reasonable but if the Cowboys try to get too much out of him he's going to end up on the sidelines with an injury.
 
I agree with KJJ.keep Randle as the starter and use Dmac on 3rd downs and 2 minute stuff.

Excuses, excuses.

McFadden was the 4th overall pick
Clairborne was the 6th overall pick
Carr got TOP CB money as a FA

There are no excuses for those types of players.
 
I like how people are now questioning Joe Randle as if he has no talent.

He had some incredible runs last year with smaller holes where he should instincts, vision and quicks. His TD run and his run against the Seahawks which started our rally come to mind.

I agree an injury could happen when? who knows. Meantime he is here I would play him and given him the carries they feel he can handle. Same with Lee, I would not limit him in terms of plays he is a ball player I expect him to go out play hard and hope he can avoid any injury. That is all you can do

I get what you're saying but if we're not somewhat cautious with him and he has to miss games or is lost for the remainder of the season at some point the running game will be in serious trouble because I don't see the Randle/Dunbar combo keeping the running game anywhere near where it was last season. The Cowboys rushing attack could go from #2 last season to middle of the pack very easily in 2015 if the load is put on Randle/Dunbar.

That's a tackle. I watched the play. Semantically, a stuffed run is a tackle behind the LOS. Have a seat and I'll learn you some more if you'd like.

You don't have to get your panties in a bunch.

Someone asked if it was Beasley's guy and I said no it wasn't.

The other Safety came over 15 yards down the field and stuffed him.

It was great blocking, a great run and a great open field tackle.

I don't need to learn anything from you but thanks for the offer.

How did he not score on that play? Don't see a defender in the picture that's not blocked. I think our run game will be just fine.

It was #54 that got of the block and blind sided him. Or else it would have been a TD

That's the third time your condescension has mistakenly attacked my football acumen. When the opportunity arises you're welcome to go at it, but you don't get stuffed ten yards downfield.

Says you and guess what?? you don't make the rules about how people can describe tackles

If one word bothers you this much, you really need help

Stuffed, slammed, hammered, whacked..........get over it.....the dude made a great open field tackle that stopped McFadden in his tracks on a well blocked play
