At this point, I just want any news that makes it appear that the front office understands that maybe what we've got at running back isn't enough. A UDFA isn't going to mean much, but I'll take whatever I can get right now.

Their attitude toward this position is very disappointing to me. It's let's let the Offensive Player of the Year leave and oh, replace him with a back who hasn't run to daylight since 2011.


Its beyond disappointing. It seems like they have this ego trip to think that our oline is so great that anyone can run behind it. Well if thats the case wouldn't you want someone thats a top running back rather than scrubs or backups?

The FO needs to stop playing games. Of course its too late with the draft in picking a running back. But what we have now is not and enough and they are gonna look stupid if this silly experiment isn't going to pan out as what they want it to be.

I wonder if Goodley and Farmer are being considered for the RB position. They seem to have RB bodies to me.

Sorry guy... You are entitled to your own opinion but not to your own facts. Jerry, Stephen, Jason and Gary Brown do not agree with you at all and
they think they can run the ball just fine behind this line with what they have. You may not like it but this is their team and you might as well accept it
or move over to the Commander's board.

Get on board or find a new team!

They are not playing games. They are just ignorant and above all, arrogant. They honestly think this line will just blow open holes no matter what and just any back is going to sleepwalk through them.

It will be a bitter miscalculation that basically trashs the progress made last year to establish an identity. Garrett can talk until he is blue in the face about running, but when he realizes what McFadden showed in Oakland is what he is, he will fall right back into running empty sets quickly.

If that's the list, we did a nice job at WR. I love the Deontay Greenberry signing. Goodley and Farmer are good too. There's a real opportunity here for a wideout.

They must of had these guys lined up before the end of the draft so they didn't have to take a WR in the 7th round.

Cowboys knew they could get Goodley, Swain not so much, he would have signed elsewhere.

If that's true, I don't want Swain anyway. Don't want anyone who wouldn't choose to be on this team. ;)

Are there any roster spots on this team for a WR?

The Goodley one is the better of all of them, as he could be a decent specialist. Greenberry fits the big tall WR thing that Dallas apparently loves, seems like a practice squad player to me. Farmer is a former prep phenom who simply hasn't played very much.

defintely.we need a replacement for Harris and Street needs to take the next step or he may get cut.He is not fast and he had trouble separating from CBs last year,he needs to be a better route runner.

You do realize they wanted to draft Allen or Davis in the 4th and both went ahead of there picks, and they have also said they may still bring someone in once cuts happen. Or is this the Hardy thing again

He is entitled to his opinion just like you were entitled to your completely uninformed opinion on Greg hardy and the cowboys
