Run Rico Ragged

[gtb1943]

GIve the guy 20 touches a game. Play him on third downs.
We have nine games and that should be enough to fully evaluate him.
WE might not need to draft a RB early next draft

 

[Wilson]

We will need to draft an RB. If Dowdle can prove himself (questionable) then ya, keep him as a number two for next season.

Honestly, if we can get good production out of him then save that pick for another need

 

[big dog cowboy]

Rico isn't a full season 20+ carry a game kind of back.

RB better be a high priority next April.

 

[DizzyT]

Next week he’ll have 5 carries and Zeke 10.

 

[Roadtrip635]

No "might" about it. At best, he's a backup RB and even then we can improve upon that.

He'll get better with our two rookie OL getting a year experience and and a better coach and scheme

Rico is UFA in March.

likely gone.

 

[Wilson]

Rico is UFA in March.

likely gone.

I'm perfectly fine with that.

 

[gtb1943]

seriously why not find out about him?
We could probably still get him fairly cheap.
Those claiming he will always be a backup etc know nothing
Give him a chance

 

[Desperado]

I think Rico is a better than average RB. He is not a bell cow, but there are not many of those. He is in a bad situation here, though.

 

[Mr_437]

No reason Rico shouldn't have been ran ragged today because he was getting chunks. Shows the problem at coaching.

I don't know why Rico is on snap count. It's like we are doing the best we can do to keep him from getting a bunch of carries even if he is playing GREAT.

 

[charron]

Rico still has a history of getting hurt. They need to draft a guy. Wouldn't hurt to have 2 guys who can run.

Need RB1 in the 1st round.

Agreed, but Cowboys still need a franchise stud RB.

Dowdle is complimentary . Couple him with a draft pick and create a fresh back scenario where both get touches . He’s a FA next yr bringing him back needs to make sense $$

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Rico is having his best year since he is working for that second contract. After that, you’ll see him back to his injury prone form and mediocre performance.

 

[Surfguy]

It's running back by committee...not running back by Rico.

Jerry doesn't see a problem. He's not even looking at it.

Yes, they do need to draft a top back.
