Hope so. I'm going to start him on my fantasy team. (I'm out of contention).

So I guess it's pretty apparent these days that Dunbar has passed up Tanner. Maybe this will be his chance to make a case for passing up Felix.

I'd love to do a little sports fight with the guy on my FB who has a love affair with Murray. But Murray is STILL hurt, and I deleted his ass off of FB. Hope he enjoys watching Dunbar.

Dunbar passed Tanner due to what was glaringly obvious; Tanner's inability to pick up the blitz. Felix is much better in that regard. For Dunbar to pass Felix would require an outstanding performance if he gets alot of touches.

Behind the Cowboys beat up offensive line it might be tough going for Dunbar.

And the fact that Tanner was something like 0-4 in 3rd and 1 situations

Stay healthy. At this point, that's the key to winning the Cowboys backfield.

Dunbar had his knee scoped after the Cleveland game. At lease that's the word I heard. Here's hoping he's healthy and starts.

I thought I read somewhere that it was aspirated (drained), not scoped?

Perhaps that was it. Sorry for the confusion.

Hold onto the ball, Lance. Protect it.

Yep. Drained. And since he was the one out there practicing today, I think it bodes well for him... or at least better than the other guys.

Could there be TWO Sun Belt RB starting in an NFL game this Thanksgiving?!!! Will the universe collapse in upon itself?

For those who missed it a couple of weeks ago, Garrett's thoughts on Dunbar:

"What he’s done is really show us that he’s a good football player," coach Jason Garrett said. "He’s a young guy, but right from the start of the off-season when he came out to practice for the first rookie camp, he showed us that he had something and really has taken advantage of his opportunities since then. He got a chance to carry the ball a little bit a few weeks ago in Baltimore, a nice 11-yard run, broke a tackle, game didn’t seem too big for him. So he has a little something to him as a runner, some quickness, some burst to him, a good feel, had good vision, so just wanted to give him a chance in the game the other night, and I thought he did reasonably well."
