Dallas Cowboys: Will RB situation be a disaster in 2015?

A month ago, Johnson was unsigned and waiting for a phone call that finally came just before the Cowboys reported to training camp in California. Let’s hope for the sake of the Cowboys, this running back by committee experiment won’t be a disaster, but being on the more worrisome side of thinking the look of the running backs this offseason could be a bit better. The only other back was Lache Seastrunk who did not impress anyone with his lack of vision and lack of ball handling skills.

Because of his injury, Randle skipped the 17-7 loss to the Chargers while undrafted rookie Gus Johnson got most of the work, gaining 35 yards on 13 carries before going out with a separated shoulder that could sideline him for a while in camp. “So with the point differential, you’re going to have to be good at that particular execution of the 2-point play”. In a recent interview with the Dallas Morning News, Tony Romo praised Johnson, saying he’s got a real chance to make the 53 man roster. That’s because starter Joseph Randle is dealing with a strained oblique, Lance Dunbar is out with a sprained ankle, and Darren McFadden has yet to practice due to a hamstring injury. Since being drafted in 2008, McFadden hasn’t had a good offensive line or team in general.

Question: I know everyone is anxious about the running game, I think we have to stay balanced but I’m fine with attacking with the weapons we have in the passing game. Dallas hopes it isn’t too serious, but Jason Garrett revealed that, “it looks like a AC separation”. “As a running back that just puts you at ease”. They are going to get a chance to play. But the Cowboys still need a RB who can take advantage of available rushing lanes. He spent time on the practice squads in Carolina and Tennessee but never appeared in a game. But, a veteran running back would stabilize the rotation, and might be able to contribute something running behind that offensive line for a few snaps a game. He’s been working there in camp. “We’re trying to find out what some of these younger guys can do”. Fans thought their team really got a steal signing the former Carolina Panther Pro Bowler, but Hardy will be sitting out the first 10 games of the season for his domestic violence punishment that forced him to miss last season as well.
