Jordan Todman - Carolina
George Winn - Detroit
Matthew Tucker - Philly
Kendall Hunter - San Fran
Anthony "Boobie" Dixon - Buffalo
Fitzgerald Toussaint - Baltimore

I think any of those guys are probably upgrades to Randal.

Ryan Williams doesn't seem to "get it" from what I'm hearing. Coaches like his effort, but I don't think they trust him.

Tucker is a big guy who can run. 6'0 220. 4.55
Dixon is even bigger at 6'1 233. 4.65
Toussaint is faster and stronger than Randal.
George Winn is the ideal size, 5'10 218. 4.69

There is no way those 6 are upgrades to Randle. And I am not a Randle guy but he's better than every other back on your list.

I wouldn't mind taking a look at that Boobie.

What about Ben Tate in CLE? He was the third back there last season before they picked up Duke, right?

The guy just cant stay healthy and im sure we have one of those on the roster now.

Terrence West is in on the block? I've seen his name a few times but never anything concrete.

I'd like him on this roster

If you are blind to the fact that the FO likes our current guys then yeah, you might think someone on that list is an upgrade. You are fooling yourself if you think "upgrades" are going to be added to the current RB corp.

Stephen Jones said in the press conference after the draft that the team hasn't ruled out bringing in a back. The indication I got is that the Cowboys want to take a look at what they have first, so I wouldn't expect it to happen until after training camp begins, if our current crop proves incapable of carrying the load.

I heard him say that too. If the current crop is not impressing us during training camp, of course they will make changes accordingly... that goes with out saying, but the current plan is to stick with what they have now... no "upgrades".

None of them are any better than what we have; they just have different names.

I think that's all some people want around here is a new name.

Interesting name.

From Wichita just like Randal.

Would be a good compliment, though I believe Brown is the better back. Randle to me is McCoy type runner, or in a ZB context similar to Portis when he was in Denver. Will be good on stretch plays where he makes a cut and gets up field. Brown is more of a between the tackles HB, more Murray like. Much more powerful runner the Randle

As much as I do not care for our current group, I don't see any upgrades here.

I would as soon sign a street free agent like Knowshon Moreno.

That said, I think we will not make any move until we learn the hard way we got this wrong.

And even then, probably not until the season is over. They blew it and will now deal with it.

Expecting regression this upcoming season, eh? Overall, yeah?
