Sony Michel

He's a 2nd round pick, and he's a 3 down back. Would be a mis-fit with Zeke. Same skill sets.
 
We don't need a speedy RB to back up zeke, we need a tough durable hammer to break the other teams back. Marion Barber was the perfect backup. We need something resembling his tenacity to give zeke a breather and come in fresh at the end of the game and punish every would be tackler until they make a business decision and let him break a long one.

I want him!!! Perfect chance of pace to Zeke. Showed heart, and fastest RB in this class. Do it in the 2nd!

Yeah, I am hoping he will be a Cowboy somehow. I would draft him if he were there in the 2nd. Morris is a FA and most likely gone. Michel has speed and would be a great backup to Zeke who is one brain fart away from a 10 game suspension.

I would love to see some ingenuity from the Cowboys and try to get both Zeke and Sony on the field at the same time, both in the backfield.
 
Man Georgia can really recruit HB's

Good to see Chubb back in form as well. That knee injury looked like a possible career ender.

Both him and Michel should go in the first two rounds

I used to think this also. Get a powerful bruiser who can get the goal line and tough yards. Spell Zeke for a series here and there and wear down the defense. The Barbarian was a perfect back for this or Brandon Jacobs from those Giants days. But looking at other teams and looking at what is working now, we need one of those speed backs. A Lance Dunbar type who can actually stay healthy.

Look at what Kamara is doing. McCaffrey. Duke Johnson. McKinnon from Minnesota. Those are guys who can beat LBs and even DBs when matched up one on one in the passing game. They are match up nightmares all over the field. But they can also carry the rock. I'd actually like to see us use Zeke like Pittsburgh uses Le'veon Bell or how the Rams use Gurley. Zeke has skills in the passing game we just done use them enough.

But when it comes to getting a back up. Why not get both options. Get a bruiser type and also get one of those speed scat back types.
A well rounded stable of backs. Zeke is one of the true 3 down backs left in the NFL, but we need back ups with more specialized skills. Alfred Morris is one dimensional and isn't all that good at what he does.

I'll tell you why because we won't use them right we won't use them how any of those other teams that you mention use them we will use them for trick And gadget plays 1 to 3 times a game, that's it so it's pointless. We don't develop roles for players, we fit what they do into what we do and the scat back is a utility player for us who needs to contribute on all special teams because he's not going to get enough work to justify his role in the offense.

If we want a back up to zeke that actually contributes to winning we need the type of player I called for, otherwise it's going to be a cheap vet like Morris, or a Joseph Randell type from the draft that only sees the field when zeke is injured, or the Dunbars of the world that does the same trick play every game that the other team is prepared for.
 
We don't need a change of pace RB. We need a 3 down back that is capable of starting and carrying the load. Even if it means getting a guy that mirrors Zeke's game.
