Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this whole Cowboys running back situation for 2024, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride. First off, I pulled up some info on the Cowboys’ history with running backs. You know, trying to get a feel for what they usually go for. Turns out, this guy Emmitt Smith, he’s like, the king of rushing yards for them. 17,000 plus yards. Insane, right?
Then, I started looking at what people are saying about the current situation. Seems like everyone agrees that the Cowboys really need some fresh blood in that running back room. I mean, I found this depth chart, and honestly, it looked a bit sad. Especially with the 2024 NFL Draft coming up, it felt like a good time to do a little investigation.
I spent a few hours reading articles and forum posts, just soaking it all in. It’s interesting how much chatter there is around the Cowboys always making moves after their preseason games. It’s like, as soon as those games are done, they’re off to the races, making deals and stuff. This one post I read talked about some move they made and how it’s gonna affect them this season, but I can’t recall the exact details right now, my brain’s a bit fried. Noticed some were talking about a player from Cook County, but, couldn’t find any more information. And the Cowboys’ name kept popping up, so there’s definitely something there.
So, here’s what I did next: I made a list. Yeah, a good old-fashioned list. On one side, I put down all the potential running backs they could grab in the draft. On the other, I wrote down what I think the Cowboys are really looking for in a player. Stuff like speed, power, ability to catch, you know, the usual RB qualities, and based on what I had read so far. It was tough to get any concrete names, since most articles just say they need to improve their depth chart.
After staring at my list for what felt like forever, I tried to match up some names with what the Cowboys might want. It’s all just speculation at this point, but it was a fun exercise. I even started imagining what each player could bring to the team, how they’d fit in with the offense. Thinking about the kind of runs they’d make, how they’d break tackles, all that jazz. I was so into it that I ended up watching some player highlight reels on my phone, just to get a better sense of their style. Most of them are just highlight videos though, hard to tell a player’s true ability based on those.
- The Cowboys need a running back, like, yesterday.
- There are some promising players out there, but it’s hard to say who they’ll go for.
- This whole thing is way more complicated than I thought it would be.
My takeaway:
Anyway, that’s where I’m at with my little Cowboys running back project. It’s been a fun deep dive, and I’m definitely gonna keep following this story as we get closer to the draft. Who knows, maybe I’ll even update this post with some new findings later on. Stay tuned, folks!
