Machota - Cowboys position series: Will defensive line additions lead to more sacks?

How do you spell Randle's name different in the same post? #ipadexcuse

I occasionally will intentionally spell a name two different ways in the same post if I'm not sure how to spell it, since one of them will probably be right. Then the wrong one will just seem like a typo since I got it right once.

I have a block with his name. It's Randle. It will probably revert from time to time. I guess he doesn't know how to spell.

That's funny and will work unless both are wrong.

It's important. I think it takes both and as I said earlier the team isn't starting with the same combo. Randle will probably be okay for a starter but I have reservations about the rest. I don't think Randal can carry a very large load however.

Two of the top 5 rushing teams from last year did not have a 1000 yard rusher and the highest rusher behind Murray had 1200 yards.

So it's not much of a reach to think this team can continue to be a top 5 rushing team, the Jets and 49'ers were top 5 with an ok starter.

I'm not sure we even have an ok starter.

I don't necessarily disagree with that. My concern is that the backs aren't a proven commodity yet. All of them have very limited exposure.

We have the worst backs in the conference, along with the Bucs. I don't care what they think of their OL, DMac, and Joseph Randle, Randell, Randel, or whomever, the Jones really dropped the ball trying to be cute.

Dallas is a #1 RB, 1-technique, and safety from being a fully loaded team. I can live with Wilcox and Church at safety, but the other two weaknesses are killers, none more than RB. A run-first attitude got us to the playoffs, and now we have no RB.

How many times did Murray bail out the offense by force of will alone last year?

I agree we needed to move on from Murray and get younger or at least add depth, but the Jones' didn't even try. Grade F at RB.

Now Dallas is in the mix, but not a lock. With a RB, no one in the conference could stand up to us.

Still an absolutely ridiculous statement.

He's said it multiple times, so it has to be true!

Who's worse?
