Maybe it’s the stout offensive line, or the Super Bowl aspirations, but Jerry Jones is feeling good about his Cowboys team.
They lost the NFL’s rushing leader — yet Jerry Jones believes the Cowboys will be even better this season.
“When you say the entire running game — and that would be including our tight ends, including fullbacks, the entire game — we’re better. We’re better,” Jones said Wednesday, per NFL.com. “Murray certainly is in that thought, but what we’ve got a chance to do with our depth, what we’ve got a chance to do with the talent, the competition that we have, and I’m assuming that we can protect (Tony) Romo, which standing here last year, the concerns about his surgeries were more so than today.
“So if Romo can have the kind of year that he had last year, then our running game will benefit from that.”
The Cowboys elected not to make a big free agent signing, or spend a draft pick on a running back, to replace the departed Murray, instead electing to lean on Darren McFadden, Ryan Williams, Joseph Randle and Lance Dunbar.
