I was pleased earlier. I guess I jinxed it.

He's a Buckeye. Don't overestimate or ask too much of him.

Garrett went overboard praising Dunbar in comments he made during OTAs.

Wow, they're even more pessimistic about the running game than many folks on here.

I just do not see what they apparently see I guess. He must break everyone's ankles in practice or something.

To Dunbar's credit---he hasn't really got much opportunity and when he has, he has shown flashes of good things. This is the first season where we did not have a clear cut number one on the roster so it will be his chance to finally show something.

Garrett said Dunbar has the ability that he could be a full time WR if needed.

Over the top nonsense. Reminds me of the "Kevin Ogletree runs routes as good as Terry Glenn" days.
Then again, Garrett can't evaluate RBs. He preferred Felix Jones over everyone.

The "Ground Zero" phrase has been around a lot longer than 9-11-2001.

Go watch the Tennessee game again and see how futile it was giving him a lot of carries.
I am no Randle fan, but even I could dismiss giving him praise since he actually did something.
Dunbar has the Thanksgiving Raider game as his sole positive and substantial body of work, ever, in the NFL.
Otherwise it is a collection of moments and "potential", which rates him barely above the Lincoln Colemans, Reshard Lees, Tyson Thompsons and Phillip Tanners in Dallas lore.

He's just too small to be an every down thumper. He will have to do the role playing bit his whole career because he won't hold up to continuously pounding.
I think, if given an extended opportunity, he could flourish in the right system especially in a West Coast short passing game offense.

Lots of phrases change in depth of meaning.
Perhaps "Square One" would have been better.

He runs great routes for a RB but let's not get carried away. Going against LBs and DBs are two different animals.
