Rico Dowdle since Week 13

[alicetooljam]

Wrong wrong and wrong the coach has 100% full control on who he brings into the game and how much he uses him if the proof isn't there how much is he touch the ball the last five weeks no one's forcing the ball to him now why would you think they would have forced the ball to him early no this is all on Mike McCarthy the offensive coordinator the game plans the in game play calling and the use and utilization of your players look at last year they used Rico and Tony wrong zeke wasn't around you gonna blame them that yeah I'm telling you that Rico would have been the better guy to use in the exact place that they tried to force Tony into and let Tony be Tony last year would have been a lot better Rico would have been the better choice last year he didn't get it again this year that's on Mike McCarthy the miss utilization of Turpin hunter all that and let me give you the real skinny on this..


Mike McCarthy blew this last year how do you use those running backs properly had he got hunter in the mix more seems like after the fumble he was in the doghouse if they would have developed hunter as a blocker and a short yardage guy last year guess what Jerry's probably not even thinking about bringing Ezekiel Elliott back and that's the truth you wanna start bringing in conspiracy theories start saying things that nobody can prove whether they're right or wrong I'm telling you zeke wouldn't be here and Mike McCartney did his job better one game last year and at the beginning of this year that's all on him he liked running back by committee but what did this dude come out and lie to us after the bye week and say he's gonna get Rico more touches and more involved and it didn't happen right away after that Pittsburgh game Rico should've got 20 carries every game no matter what till he got hurt they should have forced him to ball starting back then and they did not that's on Mike McCarthy Jerry Jones does not make up rosters and game plans he gives Mike McCarthy the players but Mike McCarthy is use of the players is 100% on him there's never been a single player or coach X player or coach that has says otherwise Jerry does not force players on the field just because they're his favorites he puts them on the roster sure but he doesn't tell them when to use seven how much to use them that is another fan born narrative that's also false..

These wild conspiracies so you can put more blame on Jerry Jones sure zeke shouldn't have been brought back but I blame Mike McCartney the offensive coordinator for doing this and the head coach for not seeing how bad a choice it was.... After that Pittsburgh game all the proof was needed that Rico was the starter and they could have used him as much as he wanted to and he did not he was dead set on bringing up Vaughn bringing up zeke trying to force him in the games because he felt like he was trying to find the right mix there was no right mix it should have been Rico and then some dude to spell him for rest that's it...

Wow, this is a passionate rant...like an audiobook nobody asked for, but couldn't stop listening to. First off, let’s address your interesting approach to punctuation. You’ve managed to string together a novel-length rant without realizing that periods are not a conspiracy theory; they’re actually there to help your readers understand what you're trying to convey the first time through. I feel like I just ran a marathon and didn’t even leave my chair.

Im not sure how I was wrong (wrong, & more wrong) or spouting conspiracy by suggesting it was very possible for Rico to clear 1000 yards this season without the bonehead move of bringing Zeke back.

I do love how you simultaneously accuse others of wild conspiracies while weaving your own tapestry of alternate football history. You’ve essentially built a parallel universe where Rico is the second coming of Emmitt Smith and Hunter is a blocking savant who single-handedly changes Jerry’s roster philosophy.

It’s creative, I’ll give you that.

“Since week 13” does sound better than “last 2 weeks, 1 of which saw 6 teams on a bye”

Actually it's not I love the overuse of the words novels and audio books no it's actually just text to talk and it's actually pretty short it's not a book it's not an audio book I don't know any audio books that are that short but maybe you think that but I get it most people nowadays have the focus of a gnat...

No that's not what I said but I'm glad you missed the fact that we were needing a run game we had those players on the team and the misuse of those players was on Mike McCarthy the offensive coordinator and not the players with the names on the back of their jerseys I said he's every bit as good as Tony Pollard and Rico is he just wasn't utilized properly that's my point beginning of the year to now we wouldn't have had this big complaint about the run game had the players been utilized properly yes... I will continue using talk to text 'cause I know it bothers you and I'll run my run on census write down your throat but have a happy happy day and have a happy holidays 'cause I'm staying right where I'm at putting out fires where I feel like it water will be sprayed all over these posts..

I see what you are saying and I agree, I wouldn't want to keep him if his market value is inflated but if the Cowboys don't sign him then they need to sign someone. I don't think they should begin a season with two rookie RB's

I hope the Cowboys get away from the idea that having one productive RB is enough. I'm not saying that they should split carries. Clearly, they are aware that injuries happen.

I

rookie running backs are easy transitions I mean really did we not start Ezekiel Elliott and he got what he had a top five all time rookie year in the NFL not just the Dallas Cowboys the man had as good a rookie seasons Tony and Emmitt combined for their rookie season he literally put up 1600 yards and that wasn't even like counting all the stuff he didn't pass game you're trying to tell me that rookies running backs can't just come in on day one and be great if you have two of them one of them is gonna rise to the top the other one's gonna be your backup I'm saying you don't pay Rico $6 million what I'm saying it would be a massive mistake and maybe somebody else around the NFL will pay him because right now Tony pollard's way overpaid I'm glad they didn't keep him...

That's the point here you can find guys like Rico whether it be a rookie or off the street if you combine them with a rookie in which I hope is the opposite type of player faster more creativity more burst take it to the house occasionally we need a guy like that to go with a guy named Rico but if it's not Rico we could get another guy like him Rico is not special Rico is just solid and you can't overpay for just good I mean I think we learned our lesson here about running backs like that..

And I get it the front office should have got a rookie last year we wouldn't be in the same position but other teams have drafted 2 rookies you can start a rookie and have a very good chance at being good fresh legs this is one reason I probably don't even want Jeanty hear the man's been over used his whole career how many years are we gonna get out of him? I'm not gonna be upset if we do draft him but I prefer to get a guy in the second round that's almost as good a quality maybe a little more burst a little more speed a little more wiggle and then get another guy in the 5th or 6th round I mean they found pachinko in the 7th round..

you do realize that running back is o....rt day one so if you have two of them competing in camp one of them is gonna rise to a clear 1 and then the other a 2, than you have two fresh players ready to go.. but if you wanna go get a guy like rico on vet Min deal, you can get those all over the NFL..

Good numbers - now we know who the weakest link was/is. The RT who Zeke’d JJ and SJ.

Since week 14, Marist Liufau is one of the league leaders in sacks.

 

[kumizi]

Anyone with a pair of eyes could've told you he's the only NFL caliber back on the roster.

Something our front office and coaches couldn't figure out until halfway through the season.

NOPE it was MM the entire time last year misused rico and tony those carries should have been flipped and this year MM made mess out of it ESPECIALLY after the PB game, was oblivious who the lead back was yet still forced the others into the mix.it 100% on MM the OC and MM the HC who didn't realize he needed to demote the OC IE HIMSELF. We saw this is rico last year but MM didnt?

dont blame the jones family they DO NOT control the gameplans and the roster on gameday and how much hey are used,.,thats on Mike! dont say it isnt how is Jerry dictating that never once has layer or ex-coach said that goes on.. sure Jerry brought back zeke but week 6 if MM said Zeke isn't getting it done he has the power to choose gameday GP and roster use..100%!!

I think a lot of fans immediately blame the coach when a player or position group struggles. It's natural to think that, but to your point it often goes far beyond the coach.

The fact our center who never played center has actually not struggled with snaps says a lot

 

[conner01]

The RB market seems to be anyones guess each year, but what makes you think he wont be expensive? Its tough to find a true comparison for Dowdle, so I'm trying to be open minded on the subject, but it seems to me he would be somewhere in that Hubbard/Mixon/Connor/Pollard type group in looking at a new deal based on his production this season. If he keeps up his current pace or close to it the next few weeks he stock may skyrocket.

I think just under pollard deal so in the 6’s. A 3 year 18 mil is what I think but a lot depends on if he wants to be here bad enough to sign quickly. What we can’t do is let him sit and take offers while we do nothing. Offer him a deal as soon as you can and I’d be talking with his agent right now. I don’t you can sign him till first day of new league year but I’d try to reach a deal asap

 

[Adreme]

I like that they say “week 13” rather than “the past 2 weeks” because the former sounds more impressive.

 

[iceberg]

731 is where he is at now with 4 games to go. It will be close. Who would have thought that was possible?

There was a time 1000 yards meant something.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Rico is running well but I'm seeing *big* holes.

The story is how well the oline is run blocking.

 

[SuspectCorner]

Since week 14, Marist Liufau is one of the league leaders in sacks.

 

[Kingofholland]

It's pretty wild to think it took the coaching staff this long how to stick to a running game.
