Running back candidates

Tinkering is not what is needed. Solutions are if they are wrong about Randle and McFadden. Trouble is they will probably find out too late.

I dont think they really are tinkering I think they are messing with the mgmt in Minnesota.

Give me Chris Johnson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't do that for you.

I agree. At least a few of us see it.

Who will blink first? This is our first attempt at keeping our eyes wide open.

Not gonna happen cause JJ said so....

Johnson expressed his desire to play for Dallas earlier this week but the interest doesn't appear to be mutual. Going on 30, Johnson hasn't drawn a lick of interest since the Jets declined his option earlier this offseason. Owner Jerry Jones said the Cowboys haven't had talks with free agent RB Chris Johnson.

 

[Bleu Star]

All that back & forth over whether or not our FO was satisfied with our bush league RBC potential.

Hope this opened some eyes today.

Chips are on the table....there will most likely be some AD news out of Minn in the next 24 hrs...

Smart shrewd handling of the Chris Johnson situation by our FO. I absolutely love it. He's just looking for a paycheck and they told him "nobody got time for that".

Sadly, he has a better recent history than McFadden. Tate had an awful year last year, but the previous year averaged 4.3 YPC on 181 carries for Houston. He also averaged 5.4 and 4.3 his first two years with the Texans (albeit in a backup role).

I don't dismiss him for that reason. If we can bring in McFadden, who averaged less than 3.5 YPC each of his past three years, I don't know if we can say Tate wouldn't end up being the better player.

Now, I think there are better players out there for us to consider, but I'd be OK with Dallas bringing in Tate for look-see rather than doing nothing at all. He's still young and like with McFadden (with everyone blaming Oakland's line for his three years of failure) there may be circumstances that led to him suddenly falling off last year after three good years. He's more proven than any of the backs we are currently carrying.

I agree and am not like some here that think DMAC is going to suddenly be a good runner...he is what he is and that is not a bellcow..

Internet will crash if they signed Felix "I'm to fat for camp" Jones.

 

[Bleu Star]

I want a bellcow to replace our previous bellcow.

Not a cow bell...

I am GROOT!​

LOL! More like Poot. Or, at least his career has gone to poot.

Didn't he also run like a 4.9 forty at the veterans combine?

 

[xwalker]

I dont mind working people out but why bring these guys in over johnson?

Johnson would want guaranteed money and more than the veterans minimum.

They could bring a guy like Tate to camp and later cut him and the cost would be Zero against the cap.

Yes, I'm sure the Vikings are really worried about Ben Tate...

Dude that would be hilarious.

I don't see where Chris Johnson is currently in a position to demand anything, and why would he try?

He'd come for the same bag 'o chips that it took to get McFadden.

Beggars can't be choosers.
