Run DMC is ready to go

[Alexander]

Actually if DMC is willing to sit and be happy, he could be a godsend. Meanwhile, we could trade Dunbar for highest pick we need. We would literally have 3 backs that could be 1000 yard backs, yet DMC would rarely get used.

So what do you think Dunbar would fetch in trade?

UDFA. No skins on the wall. Constantly injured.

2 things. They would have to showcase him for a couple of games, and a team would have to be DESPERATE.

I think he could get as high as a 3.

I'm a little torn on getting rid of DMC because of injuries, etc.

What team would be "desperate" enough to give up a third for a back?

We spent a whole offseason around here talking about how insignificant the run game is to winning.

Now that we are winning with it and we have a surplus, we can now demand a third for a career underachiever?

I said could. You find a team that's looking for a speed, change of pace type guy, you never know. I wouldn't.

I'm not saying don't shop DMac. Absolutely, take a look and see what other teams will offer. But it would have to be something GOOD.

Guy was 4th in the league rushing the ball last year when teams had absolutely no fear whatsoever we could beat them with the pass.

 

[rkell87]

You guys are so short sighted, Dmac has so much more value to this team in the near and long term if he chooses.

Our second and third team D gets to practice against a former #4 pick who is arguably in the prime of his career.

He has the right attitude and work ethic, the consummate professional. He is also very good in protection which is arguably the biggest skill set the back up/3rd down back needs.

He is pretty much a complete back and play calling won't be telegraphed/limited by him being in the game.

On a personal note I think we will see him in a closer type roll similar to how Marion Barber was used with JJ. I think we will see him come in during the third quarter in games we are leading, try to get him on the edge and into the secondary where he will punish(or hurt like those two guys in Washington last year) tacklers.

If he decides to resign here he would be a tremendous asset to the organization and would most likely extend his career longevity and I'd argue that he could be more successful on less carries here than he would if he were the starter elsewhere.

 

[Stash]

He's hurt. Just like McFadden.

He's hurt all the time.

 

[Nightman]

We have absolutely no need for McFadden.....he is the 5th best RB right now and he doesn't fit our ZBS......if anyone wants to trade anything for him take it

 

[conner01]

The biggest problem with Dmac is he doesn't fit the blocking scheme

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Just like McFadden.

Worse than McFadden. As bad as McFadden's injury history is, Dunbar's is far worse.

 

[LocimusPrime]

I like McFadden but I don't know where he or Dunbar will get their carries.

Zeke is avg 28 carriers per game and Morris is avg 5. You could cut Zekes carries down to 20 ( but do you really want to?) but that would only net you 8 more carries. Morris could easily absorb those.

Wanna be GM's doing the wannabe GM thing. Get deep at one position, start thinking about trading people.

It's a long NFL season. Recall just a few years ago we ended up with all 3 running backs getting hurt, so we signed some guy off the street. Jerry is never going to let THAT happen again.

Dunbar can't stay healthy. We lose either EE or Morris or....God forbid, BOTH...some of you maybe fine with just plugging Jackson in there. I'm not. I'd rather go with the guy who was running over people on the way to being the 4th highest rusher in the NFL just LAST YEAR.

If anybody's going, it's Dunbar.

YEP....RB is a meat grinder of a position. Hold on to all of them. We won't get fair value trading any of them anyway. DMC and Dunbar don't have much value on the trade market. But they DO have great value (potentially) for this team moving forward. We could have Romo, DMC and Dunbar all as backups down the stretch. NICE

 

[Wood]

Well he doesn't have a roster spot so will we cut him?

my guess is Escobar gets released

 

[Nightman]

my guess is Escobar gets released

maybe for Hanna .......... not for another RB when DJackson doesn't even dress

 

[Nirvana]

You'd be lucky to get a 6th round pick for him.

 

[SuspectCorner]

I soon lost track of all the McFadden long runs that were called back due to O-line and TE miscues last season. Welcome back DMac.

 

[Wood]

here is short list of possible other releases:

Dunbar, Frazier, Rod Smith, Damien Wilson.
