Cowboys’ McFadden starts training camp on injured list
In his first interview session with the media at training camp, Randle couldn’t have been more bland. I’m not just going to speak for the defense. Let’s go to work. Instead, they now have an issue with a different player, Jeremy Mincey.
McFadden, 27, signed a two-year, $3 million deal with the Cowboys in March. Dalrymple said Jones also was planning to have his right hip replaced soon.
Cowboys coaches credited Mincey, who started every game for the third time in his career, with a team-high 39 quarterback pressures in the regular season. “We wanted to avoid that”. In May, Randle made headlines by declaring that the league’s leading rusher, DeMarco Murray, had “a lot of meat left on the bone” last season.
Stephen Jones, Dallas Cowboys executive vice president, answers a… At 32-years old, most running backs have experienced a major decline in ability, and subsequently, performance.
“It is disappointing, we expect him to be here and we want him to be here”, he also said. Anxious Cowboys fans even lined up outside the Residence Inn Marriott Hotel to greet the team as they arrived.

So now Garrett gets questions about building on what happened last season, and treats them the same way he did after three straight 8-8 seasons that ended without a postseason berth. With the working relationship Jerry has built with his son Stephen over the years, he doesn’t feel he’ll be turning much over on the day he calls it quits to running the Cowboys franchise.
