You’re like the biggest homer here that doesn’t back up any points he makes.
Every team has multiple backup RBs and OL on their roster. Thanks Captain obvious.
What the duck did McCarthy mean? Why don’t you enlighten us?
Which one of our backup OL is fine and future starters ? Our backups are garbage. Tyron is hurt every year. Zach is holding out.
Jake Ferguson is an excellent blocker. They drafted Schoonmaker because they need a playmaker.
Tired of the constant diarrhea out of your mouth. The Cowboys are the smartest and bestest team ever. Every position is great.

For the role needing filled, we don't need someone to shoulder a lot of carries.

Not false. He’s been spent at the tail end the past few seasons and pulling himself out at times. Overuse and a guy on his last legs. 1 or 2 more seasons of semi production isn’t worth kicking a younger fresher cheaper RB to the curb. Finally have a legit competition at a position that’s needed it for years.

Sigh. Not more of this crap. You would think pro athletes could follow some basic rules.

We're saying the same thing, but you're just ignoring the too-obvious explanation. He took bad, bad hits to his knees in each of the last two seasons. Last season it was vs. DET, the previous season against CAR. In both cases, he was pretty much same-ol Zeke, and then, he suddenly wasn't.
He's an old 28--he's taken a lot of hits. But he's 28. And he's a very well-built man, so while the wear on his tires has been harsh, he's made of something more than run-of-the-mill RBs are made of... a tougher kind of rubber, extending the analogy. Where most would have a 50,000 mile warranty on tread, he comes with a 75,000 mile warranty maybe.
Continue to press that people are letting their emotions get in the way... strange that they would have that emotion in the first place but whatever... and avoiding the facts. We have an obvious role, and we have no obvious remedy for filling that role at the moment. If a number could be agreed upon, we would instantly have that role filled. Simple as that.

Nope, blocking is not a strength of Jake's. Jake has good hands and is a good route runner. Blocking is not something you can brag on Jake Ferguson about.

How many times have we seen a player suspended like this and it gets over turned. If he has been on this for a few years then the NFL knows about it. My guess is he was taking something on the list not approved.

That's all I've done this off season. Where have you been?

Yeah, if it was doctor prescribed as he claims, there would be more of an uproar about the suspension than there is. The first thing they check when an NFL player is perscribed a medication is whether it contains anything on the banned substances list. And any new team he goes to rechecks all that stuff.
Nearly every player cries foul when they get popped. They are embarrassed more than anything else.

Ok. It’s just that it would be the first time I heard a suspension over turned. Especially for The Cowboys. Lol. But hey there is always a first time. I guess it’s a diuretic or blood thinner perhaps. If it’s legit then the NFL needs to loosen the noose on these players.

I agree. And not saying that he is using but many players do use in the offseason and clear it by training camp. Although I think they can check for PED anytime during your career. Street drugs are between training camp and opening day. All players are tested. If you pass then you can do what you want until next year unless you’re wreck less. If you’re in the drug program they can test you as much as they want. How many times did gregory get popped. And dang Irving let us down.
