DM,
you are on point about R.B.
. He is nice on the field!!!! Hands down!!!! My son told me he is about 6 feet tall? He has the talent of a nasty back but the height of a WR?
Hmmmm. The Coach needs to reevaluate what stood out when he was drafted
Coaching change
O Line tune up
Remember when the great Emmit Smith was at his best, he had an O-Line that loved him and it dictated every time he touched the ball
He was a necessary threat when passed to but he was utilized to what was his standout talent.....the run and to enhance that the Cowboys spent the money on the talent to create running situations for him. flg$ There are oh so many other great backs that had and have their day and check the weight, skill, and passion of their O line as well as the FB that opens the holes, you will see the evidence of a team well coached
and an owner that has given a coach the power to get the talent needed for success....for example Jimmie Johnson and his coaching tenure with the cowboys, he was at his best when he was in control of his team and a Super bowl champion. They took his power and tried to coach the team from the upper box(owner control) and decided Jimmies decisions meant nothing because they had the talent and so they gave the coaching responsibility to a coach(friend of owner) with less coaching skill/talent than Johnson and they got another SB win because of the talent and discipline established by Johnson. After that you got the Cowboys in the post Johnson era.(Switzer)

DM it takes changes all over but no team can center their win possibilities based on 1 player or the coach and this holds true in all sports....for example Jordan and the Bulls before they got a TEAM concept to work enabling the "Dynasty" to prevail.flg$ flg$ flg$ flg$ flg$ flg$ flg$ flg$
DM I hope that Reggie gets Duce back and the line he needs to run behind and he will get to where his talent will
take him to a higher level, by no means is R.B. a farce, he is the truth and you will see in time.... but he needs to be protected, get the ball as much as possible and he I repeat must be
protected or God forbid the potential injuries will in time diminish his trueness.
Keep in mind we thought Herschel Walker ran out of bound too much (avoiding excessive contact) in his days but he had his health and stayed in NFL and that defunct football league much longer, Bo Jackson went at the tackler (no real protection)and needed a hip replacement shortening his career
"Things happen"
