Cowboys Get Dynamic Running Back

The Dallas Cowboys have an elite quarterback, receiver, tight end and offensive line. Their defense played pretty well considering all the key injuries they had but running back Demarco Murray made up for it. Murray led the league in rushing last year with over, 1,800 yards to rest the defense and open up the passing game.

You can plug McFadden in with the Cowboys and he succeeds with the same straight-ahead running style Murray has. McFadden is actually a more dynamic running back with more speed and receiving ability. Not that Murray can’t catch the ball but you can line McFadden up at receiver and throw it down the field to him.

McFadden, in Oakland, had the bull’s eye on his back with an offense that he was the only playmaker on. In 2010, he had his lone 1,000-yard season and 2011, he was an NFL MVP candidate before he was injured. And in those years, the Raiders had an average run-blocking offensive line compared to the horrible one’s he’s had since.
