Doesn't the roster have a rather pronounced Dunbar shaped hole in it after the success of that style of running? Shouldn't we at least consider Joe McKnight, Rock Cartright, and Steve Slaton?

Cowboys working out 4 RB and 1 FB this morning Armando Allen. Curtis Brinkley Delone Carter Shaun Draughn Tyler Clutts. Clutts is FB.

Good to see we are back to our no-name, JAGtastic ways.

It's good to see we're giving Hispanic full backs a chance. I think there should be a quota for Hispanic full backs on each team personally.

I've heard of Delone Carter. RB from Syracuse.

I can't remember if he's a plodder or not though. I seem to remember that he was a bigger guy.

Of the 7, Delone Carter would get my vote. Carter is a bowling ball who is small enough to dodge through those same gaps that Dunbar did, but Carter is actually quicker than Dunbar. Carter's 40 time is slower but his 4.07/20 yard shuttle coupled with his 37 inch vertical makes him a potentially explosive yard gasher.

Still it seems that the pattern of gathering running backs starts and ends with anyone who ran some version of Jason Garrett's offense. These running backs were all on Ravens, Chargers and Bears last year and all of them ran this ridiculous scheme last year. The Chargers fired Turner of course and now have been quite vocal about how handcuffed Rivers was in the scheme. Mike Tice and Cam Cameron were fired under complaints of underuse of the running game and the passing game was detrimentally repetitive.
