One spot we just can’t seem to stop talking about is the Dallas Cowboys running back room, and with camp starting this week, we will get our first taste of who will really win the battle.
Before that, though, rookie running back Jaydon Blue fired back after a former Cowboys assistant fueled rumors that the franchise’s fifth-round pick is viewed as “borderline lazy” by the rest of the team.
Glenn Smith, who previously worked on the Cowboys’ staff from 2000-01, made the claim during a recent appearance on the “Locked on Cowboys” podcast, explaining that some inside the building are frustrated with Blue’s work habits.
Camp This Week
The Cowboys underwent a complete overhaul of the running back room during the NFL offseason after 2024 leading rusher Rico Dowdle left during free agency.
While rookie Jaydon Blue is undeniably the most dynamic running back of the bunch, Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders present a more physical approach that is best suited for early downs.
Yesterday during the first interview drama with Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer.
I feel the same. Jaydon Blue is an awesome talent.
And they REALLY need him. Can’t wait to watch him in camp. https://t.co/hX8RGkqSXQ

“They’ll all get reps, but I will say again—of the two veteran guys, they’re very different,” Schottenheimer said. “Javonte looks great, Miles looks great. We’re excited about Jaydon (Blue). Hunter Luepke—I always talk about him, just with his versatility and what he can do. And of course, there’s Deuce (Vaughn).”
I am not even sure both of those guys make the roster. My guess is that Vaughn and either Williams or Sanders will be a surprise cut.
We will have a lot more to talk about after this week picks up and we get to see some movement, but for now the interview yesterday was about all we got.
I am late on this Blue news, but we needed something for filler today, and before Camp starts, this is what I came up with.
I am looking forward to watching Sam Williams, George Pickens and many others, I just wish Jerry Jones would get out of the way for once.
He already made the start of the season one that I don’t even enjoy.
Let’s see how today and the rest of the week goes, but we have a long way to go but it is always drama with this team and I just want to watch them win football games. That is all I want.
As always go Cowboys, and let’s hope we see some good production this summer.
Yeah, y’all can’t seem to stop talking about the Cowboys RB room, and I don’t understand why!! The only thing I can think of is that you wanna know who the starter will be…. That’s the only thing I wanna know!! Because I’m not worried about the talent we have at the position!! Unlike most of these “fans” I know we have a really good group of RBs!!
And at the end you said you just wanna watch them win football games…. Even though it is nice to have them win games, that’s not what I care about….. I’m just ready to watch my team play some games!! I’m gonna support my team no matter what happens…. Win or lose, it doesn’t really matter, I’m just happy I’m still able to watch my team compete every week!! Like I said, it is nice to see them win games, but I’m not gonna complain about a loss or talk about how much we need a new owner or coach, or whatever is these other half a** fans complain about when we lose a game!! As long as I get to watch my team play every week, I’m good!!
Jerry has always been an enigma about contracts. He hands Osa 80 million when no one is bidding against him this year, He handed Gallup 12 a year when Gallup had one leg. and no one else would have even signed Gallup but trades Cooper saying he would not pay him. He made Emmitt Smith hold out into the season during Emmitt’s greatest years. He tags Dak twice, waits till the last day of preseason, then signs him at 60. He insults Ceedee , then signs at 35. He insults Parsons so I guess Parsons should take that to mean Jerry gives 45 on the last camp day,. Being a Cowboy fan is to get mental whiplash.
