We have no RB1 in 2024

[StuckMojo]

Better work on run blocking/scheme no matter the RB

 

[Chasing6]

We are not getting Henry folks. Stephen will not do it. Too much money. what’s the solution?

I am glad we have no RB1. Draft one in the mid rounds every 2 years, and rotate them out after their contract expires.

Stephen does not make the decisions. No matter how much you want to pretend that he does.

Stephen would not have traded for Trance either.

Absolutely correct. Jerry may allow Stephen more input than he once did, but ultimately every decision is Jerry's to make

 

[Hawkeye0202]

This is the least of my concerns........tons of options between free agency and draft. Besides it's not like they are a priority in MM scheme.

If the story is correct from the draft, when Stephen got the phone call and did not even know who the player was, then did not even discuss it with anyone, we are in for another 30 years of the same if not worse.

The draft is the correct answer. If the market for Henry or Barkley is dry, I'd strongly consider bringing one of them in as a stop gap, and team them up with a promising rookie for a year or two.

This was the thought process last season and it burned us, badly. Sure, you can find good backs in the draft, but that means actually picking one, and not sitting around, hoping one falls to the next round. Dak is a much better QB with a strong running game. Everyone in Dallas knows this. Establishing the ground game needs to be a priority this offseason.

The $5m wasted on Trance plus another $3M most likely would have gotten us Henry for 2024, but Trance was a great investment. He is young and has potential. He just needs to sit and watch for a few more years.

Also would have been nice to have our 4th to pick a new RB.

 

[GINeric]

We haven't had an RB1 since 2019.

I never see this point brought up when talking about the success of an offense. It's somehow conveniently left out of the conversation.....

 

[Chasing6]

Well we traded for Trance, because he was going to play both QB and RB.

The logic is correct but I’d have to think if they don’t win between now and when Jerry is out of the picture, I can’t see the kid insisting on it being him alone running it all.

Stephen isn’t the guy that has to prove that his college roommate wasn’t the man behind all the success, although he does think he is great at what he does. Results notwithstanding.

He will hire someone to run it all eventually, but will likely veto most big FA signings, deeming them “not worth it,” but let’s see what happens.

I can see it being the same, I can see him saying it was run that way because that’s how Jerry wanted it, now we change….etc, although that’s probably more about the desperate hope I’m trying to find these days.

 

[Coogiguy03]

What about Rico??????

 

[zrinkill]

In the first 3 rounds

 

[big dog cowboy]

We have no RB1 in 2024​

Oh wait........checking calendar........free agency and the draft haven't happened yet?

Nevermind.

 

[CWR]

We haven't had an RB1 since 2019.

Man it sure feels that way. Our run game has been consistently unreliable.

 

[Mannix]

Barkley is trash....EXACTLY why I keep saying that we'll end up with him!

 

[Mr_437]

Snoop, Luepke and Deuce is a great start.
