One thing we have all loved to talk about this summer is how unstable some think the running back spot is going to be, while others think it will be just fine.
Well, after the first couple weeks of camp, and now with the players in pads, I think we are getting a glimpse of what this team might do when the first week of the season rolls around, and no it is probably not what you thought a month ago.
Entering training camp, there was no clear RB1, but with the first week of camp in the books, the early pecking order is becoming more clear.
Miles Sanders
Over the last week, Miles Sanders is showing the most promise. Take a look on Twitter or the video below if you don’t agree with me.

Something that Sanders has also been able to bring to the table is his ability as a pass catcher.
I think he’s moved ahead of Javonte Williams as of now, but again, it is early as heck.
Throughout his four years in Philly, Sanders rushed for 3,708 yards and 20 touchdowns, while adding 124 catches for 942 yards and three scores.
I still think they are going to ride the hot hand week by week, but it is good to see Sanders, a guy who has not been the same since his ankle injury in November 2024.
This could change tomorrow. Jaydon Blue also got some reps with the first team yesterday, so who knows what is going to happen a month from now when the season starts?
It is just good to see some burst back with Sanders, so that if they do indeed go with him and Javonte Williams, they can just ride the hot hand.
I won’t get ahead of myself, but keep an eye on Zack Moss also, who just got released by the Bengals yesterday.
Bengals released veteran RB Zack Moss, who played in eight games with six starts for Cincinnati last season. Moss had 74 rushing attempts for 242 yards and two TDs last season.

He was a guy that the Cowboys looked at last season, and for the rest of camp and preseason, heck, why not bring him in and see what he has.
It is not like you have a locked-down no. 1 guy right now.
Long way to go, but things on the offensive side of the ball looks a LOT better than the defensive side. Yes, Tyler Guyton got hurt, but the Cowboys secondary is maybe the worst in football right now.
Micah Parsons still needs to get paid, and they still look like they can’t stop a nose bleed.
The problem on defense is the all pass rush personnel. When the Boys let Lawrence walk and signed Osa, they solidified the all pass rush defense concept . Then, they drafted Eze and a 220# linebacker and signed Fowler . Parsons completes the Flag Football Defense. You get what you buy. Add in 240# Parsons at edge and of course you can’ stop anyone. Maybe the answer to a bad secondary is run defense so poor, no one throws.
What are you talking about!! Letting Lawrence go was the right move!! He was slowing down, he was getting injured a lot more, and he wasn’t doing much of anything when he was on the field!! That’s why we drafted Marshawn Kneeland…. Kneeland is a younger version of Lawrence!! They play the exact same way, they’re both better at stopping the run than the are rushing the passer, so losing Lawrence won’t make a difference on the defensive line!! Plus we have 5 other edge rushers that can get after the QB, so our defensive line is better now than it was last year when we had Lawrence!! Which isn’t saying much since Lawrence missed so much injured!! And from all the comments I see you make, I can tell you don’t really know much about football do you!? And that’s a rhetorical question, so no need for an answer!! But why don’t you stop leaving comments on the Cowboys fans sites and go comment on your own teams sites!!
And idk what you mean by adding parsons at edge and of course you can’t stop anybody, but if you paid attention, you would see that Parsons is one of the best edge defenders in the NFL!! He’s not just good at getting sacks, but he’s also good at chasing down the RBs!! And if it wasn’t for the other teams offense holding Parsons or double teaming him, Parsons would have a lot more sacks and a lot more TFL too!! So I think you should actually watch the game when they play, cause you have no idea what your talking about!! But chances are that your not even a Cowboys fan, your just on here trolling!! So like I said in the other comment, stop making comments on Cowboys fans sites and go make comments on your own teams sites!!
I’ve been saying from the beginning that our RBs are better than most people think!! And every time, somebody else would come out writing about how bad it is, and I would defend the RBs every time!! Now it looks like people are finally starting to realize that we do actually have a good group of RBs!! It took long enough though!! I do agree that we should give Zach Moss a shot though!! Even though I’m good with what we have, it never hurts to have more!! And Moss is actually a really good RB, so he’s worth giving a chance!! But if we don’t, I’m good with that too!!
And I’ve been saying the same thing about our corners!! We have had a few injuries lately, but I still think we’re better at that position than most people think!! Plus, the injured corners will be back before week 1, except maybe Diggs, but with the way Elam has broke out, and Booth making a big jump, I don’t think we’ll even need Diggs by the time he’s ready!! But that’ll just mean we’ll have starting caliber corners sitting on the bench waiting to play!! So like I said, there’s nothin to worry about with the corners, we got a good group of them and we’ll have plenty of good ones ready to go by week 1!!
I really think we have a better team than most people think!! Which means we’re gonna be surprising a lot of people this year!!
