Stephen: Royce Freeman has really impressed

[ChronicCowboy]

Stephen Jones is objectively stupid.

 

[TwentyOne]

Obviously, Stephen is easily impressed and wants us to be that way, as well -- what a clever "GM Jerry backup" he is!

Buckle up Jerry! Chuckle is on a roll...

Perfect, does anybody want to bet a quill he gets hurt in pre-season game action?

Seriously i dont care.

Not that i wish bad for the player, but if chuckle throws out a feel good story its a good sign this guy doesnt even have a chance to make the roster.

Stephen Jones is objectively stupid.

Make that capital letters and pin the thread please!

 

[Rockport]

This guy averages under 300 yards a year in his 6 year career.

What the hell is little Jerry talking about?

I knew this thread would trigger some folks. It’s Stephen, he’s trying to cover for himself. Relax.

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said on @1053thefan that veteran RB Royce Freeman has “really impressed.” They were surprised he was available when they signed him to a one-year deal in April.

“We were just talking about it last night at the scout dinner, ‘What in the hell was he doing sitting around out there?’ An interesting guy to just have been sitting there. He’s a great 2-3 combination in terms of what he can do as a backup. He’s a big, thick guy. And he’s a hell of a special teams player as well. He’ll be a good addition and great complement to (Ezekiel Elliott). And then we’ll let these young guys between (Rico Dowdle and Malik Davis) and those guys battle it out.”

We just don't miss.

Yeah, I was SHOCKED when Royce Freeman came available. I thought damn man we can easily get 3.7 ypc with this guy, what's he doing on the streets?

Seriously, he'll probably be ok, but call me crazy I was hoping for more than ok.

 

[Kingofholland]

The steal of the offseason! I'm puzzled that if he was that good why Stephen didn't sign him to a bigger and longer term contract? Only a 28 year old RB with a 3.8 career average on 400 some carries that plays special teams. His versatility is unmatched.

On a negative side should we be concerned if Royce is standing out that much vs everyone else?

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

This tells me Stephen thinks Zeke is the starter and Royce is the power back with the rest battling for the 3rd spot.

Pretty sure Rico is the starter

Over if you add his receiving yards!

Actually it seems to me that the offensive geniuses that they are decided to get a group of RB who can protect Mr. Prescott.

GM Jerry backup

That made me laugh..thanks

 

[TheSport78]

I think Stephen honestly thinks Royce Freeman is Devonta Freeman.

 

[zrinkill]

Relax.

 

[charron]

Pretty sure Rico is the starter

That's what I thought but maybe Stephen mispoke a bit I dunno but he sounds like freeman is a complimentary back to zeke not rico.

A guy that won't even make the team

 

[KJJ]

Good.

Now, can he play QB?

This has nothing to do with QB. Some of you really need to let it go.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Pretty sure Rico is the starter

Zeke is #1 on the depth chart on every site I looked at.

 

[links18]

Is Stephen impressed by how little money he'd play for?

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Trying to hype up a guy competing for the 3rd RB spot at best is classic Jones-speak.

I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.
