Expect for the Dallas run game to take a step back statistically, but Randle should should see an uptick in work with Dez Bryant now out 4-6 Weeks with a fractured right foot. But Murray is now gone and the backfield he left behind is crowded with a group of players – Joseph Randle, Darren McFadden, Lance Dunbar and the newly-acquired Christine Michael. “The only thing that matters is everybody getting ready to play and when their number is called upon, be ready to go out there and be their best”. There are however those immaturity concerns that need to be addressed. McFadden has had more than 215 carries in a season just twice in his seven seasons with the Oakland Raiders.

Lance Dunbar is kind of the wildcard to me. But, hey, he isn’t the only one that can pull them bad boys in as we saw here. “When you have a couple or three different guys involved running the football over the course of a game, I think the benefits are many”. Despite dominating in nearly all areas of the game, the Cowboys found a way to give the Giants opportunity after opportunity. Randle, McFadden, Dunbar are all competent backs but none of them really run with the type of ferocity and power that Michael does. “Got to be disciplined, real disciplined up front”. DeMarco Murray, the 2014 NFL’s top rusher, was clearly the featured running back. You prepare for it for most of the game.
