I mean it is week two and it's not like Randle has a straggle hold on RB1.

That's fair.

When was the last time McFadden ran for 100 yards?

OL and turn overs are key for a Dallas win. If Dallas wins the turn over battle and the OL allows for two or three long time consuming drives I like our chances. The long drives keep our defense rested, if Dallas has to many 3 and outs Philly wins.

I'd love it if Dallas opened with a 8 to 10 minute drive, followed by a quick eagle drive with a turnover at or about the Dallas 20, then another 8 to 10 minute drive.

The cowboys are going to lose this game if randle gets the majority of the carries. Michael needs to be activated. McFadden needs more carries. Randle lacks the physicality to get the dirty yards.

Randle can't break tackles and is a slower version of felix jones.

The MB starting was from CBS, but on DallasCowboys.com their talking about Collins possibly starting and keeping MB in his backup role. Sounds like whoever shows to be the better option will start.

In other news Weems has been added to the PS with Gus Johnson being released.
I was kind of assuming Collins. MB was active because he backs up multiple spots and will do so again. I'm happy with getting Weems on the PS. I do like Gus Johnson, but the extra RB on the 53 makes the need less. We need a 4th Tackle because he becomes the swing tackle in case of injury. I see similarities in Weems and Parnells careers so far. Young guys that Cant stay healthy, play OK in spurts and struggle when first given the chance to win a job and take a step backwards. Maybe Weems steps up just like Parnell and eventually becomes a good player.

I think it is bold for this week. I think if McFadden continues to run hard and well (I thought he looked much better then his numbers ended up week 1) then he'll take a bigger and bigger part of the job. But, since he isn't likely starting and 3 guys will be in the mix it would be tough for him to get 100 yards this week. Based on what I have seen in the preseason and week 1, I'd probably start McFadden or at worst have a true time share. The idea was the hot hand gets the hall and when he first came in I thought he earned staying in for the next series. Although it might have been the end of the half so that could explain it.

Philly has a real good front 7. I'm very interested to see how this goes. If Collins plays well in place of Leary I think we will be able to run the ball well.

ain't it great?
opinions will vary on football chat boards.
would not shock me to see McFadden run for plus 100 is all I was saying here. Odds would appear to be with you based on one football game....

I guess that was my point, just the odds at this point of the year. The little I have seen on DMac this year in preseason and week 1, he has shown me he looks to be the best RB in the stable. Only a matter of time until he gets the majority of the carries IF my assumption turns out to be true. Dunbar seems to be in the specialty role most saw for him long ago and I don't think Michael is going to be active unless one or more of the other 3 gives the team a reason to do so.

every week is a new chapter at this early start.
