“It’s an honor to play with someone who has so much passion and so much emotion”, Elliott said of Bryant after he participated in individual drills during Tuesday’s practice.
He didn’t play in the first preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams and he will not play Friday night against the Miami Dolphins.
“I don’t feel behind at all”. “I”ve done a good job of paying attention and getting my mental reps. “I just have to knock a little rust off and finally get back to work.”.
Many people are expecting him to carry the ball over 350 times this season.
They open the regular season September 11 against the New York Giants.
The Cowboys know after last season that they need this team fully healthy to make a deep playoff run. And the prospect of working behind those Dallas behemoths has Elliott looking forward to this season.
The run game is what made the Cowboys so successful back in 2014. If you go back to the 2013 season, the year before the Murray anomaly, the Cowboys averaged 4.5 yards per rushing attempt. He has yet to play in the preseason, and Jones didn’t seem as optimistic about his left tackle returning to game action this week.
