I’m excited for this RB competition. These 3 preseason games should be interesting. Dowdle could certainly earn a role here!

Dowdle has juice and he’s bulked up to 218-220 to ensure he can be a 3 down back.

His only issue is injuries, been that way since college. If he can stay healthy he’s certainly talented enough to be the RB2.

Probably the best suited considering playing weight.

His size/weight meet the short yardage and spell Pollard requirement at backup.
As mentioned, availability is the biggest ability. (injuries)

Another fingers crossed scenario based on injury history.

So double fingers crossed I guess.

It definitly speaks to the strength of the team when backup RB is turning into one of the more interesting battles. Im excited for the preaseaon too to see how it shakes out.

They seem to think that Rico will be the 2nd back. It also looks like Duece is going to make the team.

Being the biggest back points to them keeping him to replace Zeke.

I'm pulling for Rico to be the #2. I really like the way he runs. But that injury history cannot be overlooked and if he gets hurt against his career might be done. Davis is solid though and should make the team.

not trying to be mean about it, but those guys are all scrubs.

Based on what?

I really like Davis, but at this point it looks like Pollard, Rico, and Duece all fit on the team and Luepke can go on the Practice Squad. Davis is good, but it looks like they would go with Rico as a big back and Duece gives them another back as a change of pace when needed.

lol considering your avatar and admiration I know how much you’re really gonna miss the feed me routine, almost as much as Jerry!

People here are overlooking him for Davis. Dowdle was slotted at RB3 the last couple of pre-seasons until injuries did him in. If he can stay healthy, he has a chance at RB2 this year.

 

[OmerV]

I know some like him, but I've never been very impressed with Dowdle. Seems to dance too much looking for holes rather than finding a seam and attacking. Malik Davis looks better to me. I felt like Dowdle was a candidate to be cut, or sent back to practice squad, but it's possible Ronald Jones recent problems could give him a glimmer of hope.

I'm not sure either is an ideal #2 guy though

Hard to get excited about scrubs.

Cowboys blew it not taking a back higher in the draft.

Aside from pollard who is a proven homerun hitter, one or 2 of these guys may shine enough to give the team real depth....the key word here is "may"

 

[Pass2Run]

I'm pulling for Rico. He's a good dude.

How would you know who a Scrub is?

I think they keep Davis also because he seems to stay healthy and can be an every down back if needed.
