Rumor: Cowboys interested in Shonn Greene?

[BrAinPaiNt]

Smokin dat shonngreen if you nowatimsayin

This is basically saying...they are not going to dismiss the idea of any 2nd (or lower) tier backs as a Possibility.

Does not mean they are interested in said player or players.

Hopefully we do not have to start this up where we read some rumor or someone answering a question on the internet leading to a bunch of threads about about bunch of new RBs that might come to this team.

Hope in one hand and you know....

As a lifelong OU fan who has followed AD throughout his career since his Sooners days, I can say unequivocally and without a doubt that...

Shonn Greene = Adrian Peterson

Massive signing if it happens.

 

[Rockport]

What would you expect them to say?

 

[AbeBeta]

Are you advocating adding another #2 option to our current group?

With two of our potential twos not practicing, it might end up a necessity

McFadden is practicing today, not sure about RW.

McFadden is practicing today, not sure about RW.

He also practiced today.

I'm still a bit shocked we didn't get a RB somewhere in the draft.
A lot was freakishly bad luck.

I mean, we are sitting there with our 4th round pick (pick 127) approaching and two healthy good back still on the board...then this happens:
pick 125--Ravens take Javious Allen
pick 126--49ers take Mike Davis

I mean...you've got to be kidding.

After that, I think we were done with RBs, as we must have thought Jay Ajayi was too much of injury risk. I think I may have snagged him anyway.


All of this and not to mention that Coleman, Duke Johnson, and David Johnson all got snagged ahead of us in the 3rd round. My guess is that we'd have taken one of them at the end of the 2nd if Gregory hadn't fallen to us.
Oh well, can't complain about getting him there. Total steal.

RW.... If he can't get out there soon, I don't see him lasting too long

 

[Jstopper]

A lot of other running backs I would be interested in first, Chris Johnson and Ben Tate for starters.

Greene hasn't been good since his rookie year.

That's not true at all. He had back to back 1000 yard seasons in 2011, and 2012

Don't put thoughts into his head.

 

[jobberone]

Don't put thoughts into his head.

My bad.

 

[Supercowboy1986]

Didn't green do pretty well with the jets when he was splitting Carrys with Thomas (forgot his first name)? Or am I thinking of someone else?

 

[MichaelWinicki]

My bad.

Yep.

Because then he'll want to shake hands with you.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Bit of an exaggeration. Greene is a nice #2 back. He had a couple 1,000 yard seasons as the #1 but that's not his best spot.

Is it more popular to trash a name right out if the gate or to pump it up?
Regardless of the answer, it's premature, inaccurate and knee jerk.

 

[jobberone]

Yep.

Because then he'll want to shake hands with you.

Ok, that's just nasty. Go to your room. And no TV, PC, or games either. Read a book.

 

[Zekeats]

yuk

 

[Satchel89]

This running back thing is getting ridiculous. Now we hear the name of Shonn Greene. Tyler Clutts is a better running back then him at this point. I'm hoping that Randle and McFadden tear it up in training camp and Preseason. I know that's maybe too much to ask for but the Cowboys are worse at running back if they add that slug from the scrap heap

 

[Fletch]

terrible running back

Behind this line it's not impossible to polish up a turd.
