We have running back depth?
The Dallas Cowboys?
A team that featured a tired out Emmitt Smith from 2000 to 2002 and a clumbsy Troy Hambrick in 2003?
Then, in 2004 Dallas drafts RB who has potential, but it remained unseen until after Julius Jones returned to the depthless backfield to relieve Eddie George from embarrasing himself further by proving to be an even worse back than Troy Hambrick.
Now that team has depth at RB?
How did that happen?
Well, it started when Julius Jones proved to be worthy of Dallas' first pick in the 2004 draft after returning from a shoulder injury. The season took it's course and finished 6-10, but one shining positive was Julius Jones who proved to be a formidable running back.
Followed by an offseason addition of Anthony Thomas, the drafting of Marion Barber III and the FA aquisition of Tyson Thompson - a little known back with a ton of physical ability.
Not to mention the return of Bickerstaff, someone who must have done something to warrant another invitation to camp.
It seems now that we are stacked with potential at a position that was once anemic. We've got options. And we've got depth - finally.
What does having this depth mean this year as compared to recent years where we weren't so deep?
