But do they see Dustin Vaughan as a future star?

Randy White's fumble in SB 13 comes frighteningly to mind. Wasn't his injury to the metacarpals in his hand?

Bbgun mentioned Emmitt breaking something in his hand against Minnesota.
Iirc, he got his pinky stuck in a face mask on his way to his 2nd straight 50 yardish TD run.
that was going to be a special night for him. He would have shattered the single game rushing mark.

Didn't he have a big club on though?
And while I love Tom Landry and think he's definitely one of the best coaches not just in NFL but sports history in general, having Randy White out on a kickoff return team was pretty stupid. One of my friends has sworn he wasn't aware, but Cowboy players said Landry was always aware of EVERYTHING going on with that team.

Yep...was looking that way.
A week later I believe was the game against GB where we didn't have Troy, Emmitt or Irvin. And we kicked the Packers ass.

He was still starting on the DL, so there was no real reason to consider relieving him of his up-man blocking duties on KR. Remember - the kicker fell down, the ball came to Randy on a total fluke. It wasn't a "hands team" type deal and it wasn't a intentional squib to Randy. It was just one of the many fluke, dumb luck things to happen in that game to help Pittsburgh along.

Agree it was a fluke, dumb thing. But he shouldn't have been out there on that unit.

Why the hell not? He was out there on that unit for all his playing years and almost that entire season with that fractured thumb. He was starting on the DL and had a all-pro season at it, broken thumb and all. He was a devastating blocker on kickoff returns.
Any up-man can fumble a squib, that's why they are up-men. That's also why in onside kick situations, you have a "hands team" out there instead.
I have no qualms at all with Randy being out there on the KR team. I just wish he would have fallen on the ball instead of trying to return it.

Sounds like there's a decent chance we'll be without both Murray and Free for Sunday, and they said while Martin doesn't have the dreaded high ankle sprain he was "noticeably limping" after the game and isn't a sure thing to go either.

Martin hurt his ankle in the 2nd quarter and played the rest of the game with it.
