25 Days Dallas Cowboys Comment

Owner/GM Jerry Jones reiterated that he wants to come away with a No. 2 back in the draft.

Lance Dunbar and Phillip Tanner will not be the handcuff to DeMarco Murray this season. "Without Felix Jones in the fold right now, we don't have that answer in terms of having a complementary back to DeMarco," Jones said. Murray's troublesome injury history dates back to his Oklahoma days, so a Day 2 prospect like Michigan State's Le'Veon Bell or North Carolina's Giovani Bernard would make a lot of sense.

Cowboys VP Stephen Jones said he doesn't see Lance Dunbar or Phillip Tanner as No. 2 running backs.

"I think we need a back," Jones said. "We like Dunbar and Tanner but I think theyƒ?Tre more third backs, not second backs." With free agent Felix Jones expected to move on and the Cowboys unlikely to spend much money at the position, a mid-round draft pick would make some sense. ESPN Dallas suggests South Carolina's Marcus Lattimore, who is recovering from a devastating knee injury.

ESPN Dallas says RBs Lance Dunbar and Phillip Tanner are most likely to be DeMarco Murray's backups in 2013.

Beat writer Calvin Watkins dismisses the notion that the Cowboys will draft a running back, being that the team only has six picks in the draft and has plenty of holes to fill. Felix Jones is a free agent, and his time with the Cowboys is "over." ESPN Dallas said last month that the team was higher on Dunbar than they were on Tanner. Dallas would be wise to have a capable backup for Murray, who has missed nine games in two seasons.

Cowboys RB Lance Dunbar rushed just one time for eight yards and caught three passes for 21 yards in Dallas' Week 12 loss to Washington.

The Cowboys played one-dimensional offense on Thanskgiving, due to its inability to generate any early-game rushing threat and a 28-3 first-half deficit. When DeMarco Murray (foot) returns, Dunbar will resume third-string duties behind Murray and Felix Jones.

ESPN Dallas expects Lance Dunbar to start Thursday's game against the Redskins if Felix Jones (knee) is inactive.

Jones aggravated his knee issue against the Browns last week, missed practice Tuesday and could be headed for a game-time call. Dunbar has been dealing with some knee woes of his own, but he appears to be slightly ahead of Phillip Tanner. They split the first-team reps in practice Tuesday, hinting at a timeshare. It's a situation to avoid if Felix sits.
