This would be freaking incredible if they did this.
I don't be see this being legit. That means the cowboys put in ZERO preparation for zeke's suspension. They've known this was coming for awhile. It's not like a sudden big injury
I'm not a Morris fan so if it were me, and the cost was minimal, I'd absolutely prefer Gore over Morris.
Fwiw the rumors on Hyde a couple weeks ago came out of NO, Denver & Dallas IIRC.
In a similar position, but am considering taking a chance on Dede Westbrook over either Morris/DMC. And I’d rather have Juju over Dede.
I've got a pretty decent backfield (L. Bell, D. Martin, McKinnon, Henry, AA) and I'm considering bagging the whole Dallas backfield and going for JuJu instead of Alf.
At the same time, though, McFadden is on a one year contract in his age-30 season. Presumably, he plans to continue playing football (but this is an assumption I'm making).
Perhaps, but the Dallas coaches said, at the end of the preseason, that Morris earned the backup job. So, while DMC may have signed with that expectation, perhaps being outplayed by another player made the coaching staff demote him (which they said he took well), despite his expectations.
As a Murray and Henry owner, I am glad I didn't see this earlier. I would have been refreshing twitter like a madman.
Seems simple enough. DMC should probably get a decent amount of work. Guessing around 35% of the touches.
This is what RW actually linked:
- I don't think it's unfair to say that this means JJ is saying Morris will be the "no. 1" RB. I think FF people know that teams' RB1's can come in all variations with a variety of risks. It remains to be seen if Morris gets 66% of the share or 51% or what. Even if Morris is the starter I do think Dallas will give McFadden a respectful role, something like being the RB in on at least 1/3rd of the drives plus maybe some 3rd down work. That's more than EE typically shares so Morris likely won't be getting all of EE's load.
Jones never said Morris is the #1 back. End of story. The fact remains it could be Morris or it could be DMC. Nobody knows and Rotoworld once again posts false information.
Actually I agree now, what JJ said is "more carries", not more carries than anyone else or 'most carries.'
I live in Dallas and am very familiar with "Jerry Jones talk". It was typical Jerry Jones. He was being political about it. Mixed in with his Jerry Jones "uh" pauses. If you go back and listen to it. He either has no clue who is the starter or he does know and doesn't want to give it away.
Smith plays on special teams. I believe that's the argument as to why he's been active every week and McFadden hasn't been.
Just keeping McFadden rested before gametime, that's all.
Michael Fabiano has been horrible since his days at CBS/Sportsline in the early 2000s. Worst Fantasy Football "expert", ever.
While you are right. Don't even pay attention to what Fabiano said. Jane Slater who is connected to Dallas was told by team mates...
McFadden owners will believe that this is just another step in keeping McFadden super fresh down the stretch. No game time, minimal practice reps, that's what any smart team would do with their star secret weapon.
