RB carries vs Falcons: What's your prediction?

[okstateCowboy]

I'm thinking something like:

Morris: 15
Smith: 8
McFadden: 4

37 passes from Dak

 

[Aven8]

I'm thinking something like:

Morris: 15
Smith: 8
McFadden: 4

37 passes from Dak

37 passes from Dak = LOSS.

 

[Bohuntr97]

Flip McFadden and Smith around. Maybe a few more for DMac even. I'm in the camp that the Boyz have been saving DMac for a reason. He will need a game or two of live action to see if he still has enough to carry the load.

I think McFadden will end up with more than Morris or Smith. He was our lead guy three years ago with over 1000 yards. Fresh legs. Just a gut feeling.

 

[jchap]

35 rushes for Dak

 

[TWOK11]

We should come out in the Wing T and run the veer. Atlanta wouldn't know what hit them.

 

[River82]

37 passes from Dak = LOSS.

Prescott averages 33 passes a game this season, and threw 33 times against the Chiefs. 37 isn't too many more

 

[darthseinfeld]

My FF team say Morris will be the lead guy

So it will be McFadden

 

[windjc]

Its going to come down to who they think will block and pick up assignments the best. Because they can all run and catch pretty well.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

At least for this game, its got to be Morris in the lead. "Saving" McFadden is a myth. The truth is he has never fit this zone blocking system the way Morris does. He is a man blocking runner. I predict Morris and Smith share the early down carries 15-7. And McFadden is the third down back. Gets 3 carries and 3 catches.

 

[TrailBlazer]

10 Morris
10 McFadden
1 touch 1 goalline TD for Rod Smith

I expect McFadden to be the 3rd down guy. Best pass blocker imo. Also expect Dak to get a designed run or 2. Were going to have to throw to win this one.

 

[Tabascocat]

DMC has yet to see the field which should severely limit his carries. I will go with:

Morris 20
Smith 10
Darren 6

It should be a heavy run day against them.

 

[Chappy]

I think McFadden will end up with more than Morris or Smith. He was our lead guy three years ago with over 1000 yards. Fresh legs. Just a gut feeling.

That was when he was 27yo and is now on the wrong side of 30.

You are kidding yourself if you think DMac is getting more than 10-15 carries a game at his age now as time waits for no one. Passing downs he maybe on the field but i seriously doubt he gets to many.

Morris will lead us and so he should while Zeke is out as he is no chump RB and will carry the load behind our great OL.

 

[Bleedblue1111]

Morris 17
McFadden 10
Smith 3

 

[DuceizBak]

We should run the read option a lot more to keep vic beasley off of dak.

 

[Cebrin]

Prescott averages 33 passes a game this season, and threw 33 times against the Chiefs. 37 isn't too many more

Shhhhhh, but Prescott sucks. He's only a bus driver.......shhhhhh.

 

[Broges74]

This game will be slightly slanted toward Morris but Smith will look the best.

Morris 15
Smith 9
McFadden 4

Next game it's more even between Morris and Smith, then Smith takes the lead.

 

[canters]

The Dak bus picks up Morris 19 times and they drive for 91 yards.

The Dak bus picks up Smith 9 times and they drive for 27 yards.

The Dak bus misses Dmac because Dmac misses the bus.

The Dak bus picks up Dak 7 times for 35 yards.

The Panthers got 200 yards on Atlanta so we ought to be able to get 150 ish with our cadre of runners.

 

[xwalker]

This game will be slightly slanted toward Morris but Smith will look the best.

Morris 15
Smith 9
McFadden 4

Next game it's more even between Morris and Smith, then Smith takes the lead.

Morris 20 for 60
Smith 10 for 60
McFadden 4 for 60

I believe it was our esteemed fellow @erod who pointed out #20 was gassing out in that first pre season game Dak played in this year, when he fumbled on like the second or third scoring drive,,, I could very easily be wrong on WHO pointed that out in the game thread but it's something that's stuck and been niggling on me ever since it was pointed out,,, I've not a problem with #46 IF he's what his supporting fans lay claim to, they BOTH got 10 years in the league, I think #20 got more horses under the hood ,tread wear being equal,,,maybe #46 does have more juice in the tank, I do know it's gonna suck finding out, if we lose AND continue to lose with either being leade dog
