The Dallas Cowboys have a weird situation at running back for the rest of the season. That is if — and it is a big if — the NFL and courts can ever figure out what the heck is actually going on with Ezekiel Elliott. For the Cowboys, regardless of what happens with their starter, it has to feel good to hear Darren McFadden be confident as of late.
For those unaware, Darren McFadden is on the Dallas Cowboys. You may have forgotten about that, as I know I did, despite having actually seen him run around as a member of the team (well, at least in Madden). Life is funny that way.
McFadden may end up being active for the first time this season this weekend.
Anyway, McFadden knows he is getting older, but claims he still has what it takes.
“I definitely still have speed to break away,” McFadden said, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “So if you see me in the open field, don’t look for me to get caught.”
“I’ve seen Al (Morris) run 70 yards, Rod run a 45 yarder and I definitely don’t look to get caught from behind if I get an open field,” McFadden said, smiling. “Just out there practicing running around and watching myself on film, I still feel like I’m the same guy.”
The Cowboys are expected to go with a bit of running back by committee until they know for sure what is happening with Elliott. And, to be clear, it seems like no one knows if/when and for how long he will actually be unable to play.
