All the physical traits are there, perhaps he needs a change of scenery and the opportunity to step outside the shadow of a hall of fame RB. I think he is physically better than all of your current RB's, he just has to put the mental game together. I REALLY WANTED him to get it together on our roster. Awesome buy low opportunity, and yes, I see teams are now up on the Compensatory strategy like us :lol
Gotta love that fan dedication, tat-it on that ass :lol
Indeed. I want to see her face. :lol
I hope this dude ends up being our Ahmad Green. Played behind a stud for years. Changed teams then balled out...or even develop into our Beast Mode. Remember, Lynch wasn't shit in Buffalo. ;)

I have to disagree. He has always been a 1,000 yard back. Even had 47 receptions one year in Buffalo. He was just in a bad situation.

He was serviceable as a Bill, but no one called him Beast Mode. He didn't breakout until he played in a scheme that fit his running style. C-Mike is a physical punishing runner that loves to play smash mouth football. That's the style JG likes to run as evidenced from last year with Murray.
C-Mike's "bad situation" was immaturity and playing behind a HOF RB. He will be given the chance to take over our backfield in the near future if he is willing to be coached up. I think you guys will rue the day you traded him.

Far cry from, "Wasn't shit". You have to remember that he was also giving up carries/touches to Fred Jackson in Buffalo as well. Coupled with the QB situation that hasn't been anything in Buffalo since Doug Flutie.

Serviceable or wasn't shit - what's the difference? :lol Fact is, I heard nothing about Lynch until he went to Seattle. Now he's arguably the best RB in the game (next to AD and Charles). It took him to play on a better team that played a scheme that fits his skillset. Now C-Mike has that same opportunity. Only time will tell if he seizes it.

If you think Lynch wasn't shit in Buffalo you're crazy. I guess we'll agree to disagree there. I don't think Michael is of the same gene pool ability wise, but he certainly is really good waiting to happen, especially behind that line if he can get his head together. And he has always been Beast Mode, it's just when you're in Buffalo, ability gets lost on the public much like Eric Moulds.

Re: All Inclusive Cowboys Thread
Honestly Lynch was just a victim of playing in Buffalo.. I couldn't name two players on their current roster.

Re: All Inclusive Cowboys Thread
I hope that run game really does work out. The O-line is amazing and it would suck to have a bunch of hacks waste it.

4-6 Weeks for both. Gregory has rare speed on the edge. I'm so glad it was not an achilles injury as was first reported.
It gets frustrating with all the injuries in pro football. Gregory was beating the Giants LT and they guy did a cheap shot on RG after a run play was basically over. Unfortunate and unnecessary.
I have no idea what happened to Dez. Hopefully he can fully healthy - he has been dinged all summer long. At least he has time to get the hamstring right, but the foot injury is a big bummer.

We may have to do it differently until we get on track. Last year, we got 184ypg from our RBs (141ypg from rushing; 43 ypg receiving). Against the NY Gnats, they totalled 212 yards (131 yards receiving; 81 yards rushing). I'll take that kind of production - especially if it is from multiple RBs (RBBC). That way, we don't wear down one player. Teams will have to game plan for more than one back -which is good for us.
Randle, Dunbar, and McFadden all looked great coming out the backfield as pass catchers. Teams that don't have LBs that can cover will be in trouble if they get anywhere near 200ypg collectively.
It'll be interesting to see what C-Mike will bring to the table. I expect him to be activated within the next few games.

Re: All Inclusive Cowboys Thread
The good news was the o-line still looked solid. Holes were there. It was a good start overall. Not as good as you would hope rushing, but good overall production.
However with no Dez I have my concerns. I don't think anyone is scared of Twill and teams will really stack the box and force Romo to throw and guys like Twill to prove they are worthy of being worried about. Will be interesting to see how the RBBC handles a lot of focus on stopping the run.

Looks like longer now for Dez. Doctors have said 8-12 weeks and Jerry already said it will take a full 6 weeks for the foot to properly heal assuming no setbacks. That's 6 weeks to heal, then how much more time for conditioning/caution? They said he can start re-habbing 3 weeks after surgery, but it takes 6 just to fully heal.

Trust me - I share your concerns. I just think Dallas might take a page out of Patriots playbook and let their short passing game be their running game. We have 3 players that look awesome when you get them in open space: Dunbar, Beastley, and McFadden. Like I said before, teams better be able to cover those guys - especially Beastley. Other than that flukey fumble, I thought he was great.
Just like a running game, short passes pick up yardage and eat up clock. That opening 17-play drive (that inexplicably ended in 3 points) ate up over 10 minutes. For the game, the time of possession was Dallas 37:10; Gnats 22:50 (that's without a 'dominant' running game - which proves my point).
I hate it that Dez went down, but it's not like we don't have other weapons to get the job done. Admittedly, a potent running game opens everything up. I think we'll find our groove running the ball soon enough.

Hakeem Nicks had the same injury and came back too soon. He hasn't been the same since. I trust that the 'boys will hold him out until he's 100%.
