Making men like Booze look like fools since 1991.
Hey Quincy Carter scored TDs too.

Put him in a situation where he does not come in a change of pace and he will look like the JAG he is.

You know, kinda like he did when he started last season.

You know who else scored TDs? Adrian Peterson in his prime! Joseph Randle FTW

As an aside, what is the deal with everyone doing the throwing up the X thing when playing the Cowboys?

Never seen anything like it. Bennett did it last night, McCoy, etc. Probably more that I forgot.

Seriously? Jealous you couldn't come up with something that marketable?

Beckham too I think.

And yeah, even the copying isn't original anymore. It's stupid.

It's just the Cowboys. People love to to hate. Or they love to love. It's really that simple.

This seemed like a good idea at the time.

Randle is a nice change of pace back and compliments what Murray does. He's not a feature back.

Retarded? Yes, he is. Does he suck? No, I actually think he's got some pretty explosive moves to him.

Welcome to the board! Please get to know the place and let me know if we can help in any way.

call me crazy but I think he can handle 5-10 carries a game
Yep. The role he's in now has him getting roughly 3 touches a game.

I don't understand why he's not getting more carries.

I agree, I don't see a reason why he can't get more touches. Regardless of why he is gashing the defense, his numbers show a highly productive back when he gets the ball in his hands. Maybe it is fresh legs against a tired defense, but we should be able to use that at least least a few more times a game.

Murray should be getting about 22 carries a game while Randle gets 5 to 7.

The only time Murray should get 25 or more is when it's a situation when we're really trying to establish a physical running game early or late.

I don't know that 22 is enough, but obviously it depends on the game.

Agreed, which is why I mentioned the specific scenarios....but ideally, it would be nice to keep him at 22, and I think you could if Randle is being effective.

Then there's the 3rd running back. Talk about under utilized.

I still think Randles a jag rb and would be exposed if he is called upon to start again, however he should be fine getting 5-10 carries in mop up duty. I think p1 is right a better question is why they haven't used Dunbar hardly at all, especially since he was so important they actually held him out in the preseason.
