The Dallas Cowboys have plenty of running backs on the roster, but they apparently are unsure whether or not any of them can fill the shoes that DeMarco Murray left behind because they are still working out other options.
Dallas Regretting Letting DeMarco Murray Leave?
Murray said all the right things on his way out of town, but he has had little to say about his old team since he started his offseason work with Philadelphia, other than to mention that he is not really focused on his old team. But according to CSN Philly, Murray could not help but respond when he was told about some comments by a former teammate.
Joseph Randle is one of the players that is poised to inherit some of Murray's workload in Dallas (some think he could even win the starting job), but he made some noise recently when he said that Murray "left a lot of meat on the bone" in the running game last year, implying that Murray could have done better, even though he led the league with 1,845 rushing yards.

When told of the remark, Murray replied, "Hopefully he can taste some of that meat this year."
"They're a good team," Murray continued. "Hopefully he can get a chance to run behind that line and do some good things. But I'm not worried about it. I didn't hear about it until now. It's not a big deal."
To this point in his career, Randle is probably most famous for his arrest after stealing cologne and underwear from the mall last season. Still, he has shown flashes of potential on the field. But, as Murray implied, things often go differently when you are the primary back.
Chip Kelly also had something to say about Randle's remark. "Maybe," Kelly said, "that means he's not a big eater."
