In yesterday’s press conference, the head coach of “The Lone Star”, Mike McCarthy, confirmed that the former Minnesota Vikings running back is ready to make his debut with his new team: “Dalvin is ready, I really like the work he is doing”.
Dallas Cowboys owner and players embarrassed after historic loss
Jerry Jones‘ franchise is having trouble establishing its ground attack this year, averaging just 77.2 yards per game, the lowest figure in the entire league.
The running backs: Ezekiel Elliott, Hunter Luepke, Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn have not been able to fill the void left by Tony Pollard, who was surprisingly traded to the Tennessee Titans this year.
