Cowboys RB Dunbar out for season with left knee injury
SPRING, Texas (AP) – Officials of a suburban Houston school district have suspended two head coaches and 11 players after an on-field brawl between players of both teams cut short a high school football game. That’s a big part of who we are. Among New Orleans’ woes: An anemic running game, an inconsistent, a sloppy defense and a shaky kicking game.
“I remember the people that talked crap never had a picture of themselves”, Weeden said.

The Cowboys lost Orlando Scandrick for the season in training camp.
Joseph Randle had a 1-yard TD run for Dallas (2-2), which failed to win what would have been an 11th-straight road game in regulation. We feel good about the three running backs we have.
It appears that Lance Dunbar has indeed torn his A.C.L., and is likely gone from the for the season.
Regardless of the reason, everyone on offense knows the running game must improve. All I care about is finding a way to give our team a chance to win. Dallas did a fantastic job at covering Saints’ receivers and limiting turnovers, but in the end Brees proved to be too much for “America’s Team” to handle. The Cowboys have had minus runs on nearly 10 percent of their carries, losing 22 yards on 12 carries (excluding kneel-downs).
Considering there was the possibility that he would spend the entire game on the sideline, Drew Brees’ Sunday Night performance was one of the best we’ve seen this season. “We don’t consider a zero or 1-yard run a loss”.
“We finally got the monkey off our back, but like we’ve been saying all morning, it’s just the first one”, said rookie linebacker Stephone Anthony, who had seven tackles and a sack for a youth-infused defense.
Of course, they could of potentially had more, as their very first series of the game reached the New Orleans’ 12-yard line before Dallas had to settle for a 30-yard field goal from Dan Bailey.
This is frightful news for the Cowboys, who now need others to step up in the return, receiving and rushing game. Each play builds on the previous one. Bryant was an All-Pro in 2014, warranting a $70 million contract this season. “It wasn’t always clean in our execution, but we battled”.
The improvements needed on the line are subtle.
“I think he’s competitive”, Payton said.
Eventually, Randle was named the starter but his performance through four games has been lackluster at best. “You’ve got to be able to regroup”.
It’s a rare Louisiana football trifecta that doesn’t happen often. The Cowboys for only 25 yards in the second half.
