Mazi Smith

He has been strong for the last 6 quarters. He was stout the 2nd half of the Ravens game and against NY he looked like a playmaker. Tonight may tell us if things have really clicked of of that was a fluke

Jalen Tolbert/Ryan Flournoy

Tolbert has seen a solid uptick in production, and tonight he will be the #2 WR. He has a chance to secure that job at least for the season. Jones has been talking up Flournoy this week. Hopefully we finally get to see the rookie in real game action

Rico Dowdle

Dowdle has established himself as the top back. However thats completely by default. He hasnt been bad, but he hasnt established himself as a true quality #1 either. The deadline coming up and with Bigsby having a strong year Jacksonville is leaking that they are shopping Etienne. If Dowdle doesn't come through that could be a move Dallas makes. Dowdle is a FA and is also playing for his next payday

Marshawn Kneeland

He has had a solid rookie year, but with Tank and Parsons out he will be heavily relied upon. As a pass rusher, he is still more effort than technique, but he has been able to get some pressure on the QB

Why the...heck. Is Cook not playing yet? They literally have the worst run game in the league, with the worst stable of backs in the league, even a compromised, diminished Cook would be a step up!

The same reason Flournoy has been inactive. But now they claim he has some Dez Bryant in him.

They have no clue

I don't know. Even if he isn't better than Dowdle he has to be better than Elliott

I’m more interested, in the rookie wide receiver,

All this is good, but Rico is a JAG.

I agree, but what he does over the next couple weeks may dictate what Dallas does at HB for the the year. Plus he is a FA. No one is paying him, but he could still be looking at the difference of a million or two at his next stop

Guyton and Steele - hands will be full w Watt. He’s a game wrecker

Whoever is playing cb with Carsen out

Dak - he’s going to have to win this game - Tomlin will scheme things to make life hard for lamb - how will Dak respond

Luepke. This game is perfect for a player like him. We just need McCarthy to figure it out.

I don't think Dowdle has established himself as the top back. I think the fact that he started last week was just experimentation on the part of the coaching staff.

Truth is, I think, no Cowboys RB has established themselves in any sense.

Tonight, perhaps.

Cook couldn't stick at backup for the Jets last year. 3.2 yards per carry. He's as washed as Zeke.
