Who gets 3rd and 1?

[jazzcat22]

The same guy who gets 1st and 10 and 2nd and 5... Adrian Peterson.

I like the enthusiasm.

 

[Hardline]

I just hope we can get into 3rd and 1.

I just hope we can get into 3rd and 1.

I hope most of those are at the goal line....

Third and one will be Romo passing to Dez, Beastly, or Witten.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Same people who got it last year: Zack Martin and Travis Frederick.

Its important to have a running game. The offensive line should help to ensure that we have a viable running game. Its better to have a stud running back, because it makes decisions easier, but its not required for having a good over all running game.

The fretting over RB has reached epidemic proportions.

No it's way worse than that. We are almost to the point of forfeiting next year.

Some of you folks are going to be pleasantly surprised at what McFadden and even Randle will be able to do in short yardage situations behnid this OL. As good as Murray was, he didn;t do it all by himself.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

Don't care as long as the o-line remains healthy.

This is why you draft a talented runner who has the talent to get yards on his own... in case your o-line does not stay healthy (knock on wood)

I will trust our FO that they just did not see any of the RBs (other than Gurley and Gordon) as an upgrade over McFadden, Ryan Williams, and Randle. But which of them can we rely upon to get tough yards, the 3rd and 1s that Murray almost converted 100% of? I just dont see short yardage and tough yards as any of their strengths. Which is just as important as breakaway ability.

Romo!

 

[Idgit]

Williams is the best short-yardage guy we've got right now.

 

[Beast_from_East]

I cant believe the disrespect Murray is getting..................news flash, Murray was hit several times behind the LOS and pushed the pile forward for positive yards or what Garrett called "dirty yards".

To think a guy that spent the entire season on the freaking practice squad is going to come in and do the same is laughable, but that's just me I guess.

 

[USMarineVet]

McFadden, Randle or the FB.

 

[John813]

Serious answer: Synjyn Davis.

 

[JBS]

Romo

We've proven to be one of the best qb sneak teams

salient question
I really thought we were going for Mike Davis
however because i think something doesn't mean its correct thing to think

 

[NextGenBoys]

The fretting over RB has reached epidemic proportions.

If this were 2008, I'd get it, but I'm shocked at how quickly the memories of this OL blowing holes wide open have faded…but then again, I'm not shocked at all.

Tough yards are tough yards.

Don't act like everything was wide open.

Demarco Murray got probably 800 of those yards by his physicality alone breaking tacklkes and lunging forward every time he fell down. Murray didn't fall backwards.

 

[Wolfpack]

Shotgun baby, just like the old days.

I keep hearing stuff like McFadden is a 3rd down back.
It's almost the opposite potentially. He actually is a bigger guy and they say he has real talent running between the tackles. He just needs to regain trust that at least half the time a hole will actually be there. He lost some faith over the years, to his detriment.

I'm real curious (though wary) to see how he does.

Have to admit, I have my share of skepticism, because I saw a mixed bag in Oakland. Part was circumstance with the oline, but some was him too,
We could be pleasantly surprised. Really same goes for all four backs.
I'd like to hve added a decent rookie, but you can't assume any of these guys (outside of the top ones) would have been better. It's pure speculation.
