Drafted by Cowboys RB Phil Mafah Clemson

[America's Cowboy]

Mafah is Brandon Jacobs 2.0 but in a Cowboys uniform.

Jacobs was fast.

 

[Risen Star]

Don’t know anything about him. Solid production and highlights look ok. I will be surprised if he makes the 53 man roster though. Dallas still lacking at running backs.

I looked at him several weeks ago but didn't have much interest as I'm not a committee guy and want more juice from my feature back.

But this Blue/Mafah tandem could work. It's just not my preference.

 

[CowboyStar88]

I see some King Henry in this kid. Big powerful dude, with some quick feet that guys don’t want to hit. I like the pick.

 

[gimmesix]

Thats not how it works. No team has ever signed 4 veteran backs in addition to a 5th round rookie to "fight it out". Never been done and never will

Didn't say it would happen. I don't why what I would like to see happen gets interpreted as something that I expect to happen.

I want to see us get Chubb and Dobbins and let them fight it out for spots. I absolutely don't expect us to do any more at RB than we already have. They drafted two backs. They signed two backs in FA. We're done at RB.

Prediction:

By the end of the year, the RB committee will primarily be him and Miles splitting carries. He’s a machine

You think Miles could do well here?

Im more optimistic than I am with Williams

 

[Coogiguy03]

Why?

You want to use a pick next year to trade for a player going into the last year of his rookie deal?

Javonte Williams
Miles Sanders
Hunter Luepke
Deuce Vaughn
Malik Davis
Jaydon Blue
Phil Mafah

I think Sanders could be the guy out I hope not surely

 

[Hadenough]

Omg I can't believe all the Kool aid drinking going on. Dude is practice squad player.

Lacks initial quickness to get the run kicked off.
Tight-hipped with limited quickness in his cuts.
Unable to side-step defenders in smaller spaces.
Transmission lacks acceleration and gear shifts.
Doesn’t offer much in the passing game.

It's going to work. Mafah is good in his own right. Blue, well, he's just a stud. You just have to somewhat limit his carries. I don't know of many players line him. You could even play him in the slot. They got several things right this draft. Say what you want about Jerry or McClay. They killed it this weekend.

We're back in business, my friend.

In the RedZone, though?

 

[Pass2Run]

he is a BAD MAFAH.

You're my boy, Blue!

 

[stinkface]

If our line can open some holes we will be fine. None of our guys are shifty guys who make people miss in the hole. We'll Blue might be if he doesn't get broken in half.

 

[JW82]

he is a BAD MAFAH.

Shut yo mouth! You talking about Phil!

 

[Pass2Run]

Shut yo mouth! You talking about Phil!

You shut your Mufah.

 

[Whyjerry]

Sounds like there was a plan this draft, hopefully a refreshing change coming

It’s a process.

 

[Pass2Run]

Yeah, this dude isn't just making the team. He'll be our lead back. Then in comes Blue.

Who wants to tackle this dude?

[Canada180]

I'm sorry my friend, he is.

and so on and so on and so on lol

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Seems like a good dude, easy to root for.

Nice that g-t counter is his favorite, with the pulling that Adams will be installing. BS mentioned Adams using him like James Conner, which seems like a decent comp.

Also, it wasn't talked about a lot but he hurt his shoulder early in the year and played hurt with it almost the whole season.
