00:00 Let's narrow in on one position in particular for the Dallas Cowboys, running back.
00:05 Because it was the splash move that everyone wanted the Cowboys to make this free agency.
00:11 And then Derrick Henry goes to the Ravens and hearts break all over the DFW area.
00:18 What are they looking for when it comes to running back?
00:20 And of course the running back position is still a sexy thing and that's okay.
00:23 At the same time we've lost sight of the fact that, and this is the study that the Cowboys did
00:28 regarding DeMarco Murray years ago, we're not going to pay big money to heavy lifting running backs
00:35 as they approach the age of 28.
00:37 Then the Cowboys did it anyway with Zeke and they kind of did it anyway with Tony Pollard
00:41 and both those contracts turned out to be to a degree a mistake.
00:45 So here we are again.
00:46 Looking for another one-two punch?
00:48 And trying to spend some money, but the Cowboys don't want to spend some money.
00:52 When they said no to Zach Moss, who's frankly a middling running back.
00:57 He was a third string running back a year ago in Indianapolis.
00:59 And they said no to $4 million a year, that's our sign.
01:02 We've been reporting all along they were never, ever, ever in on Derrick Henry.
01:07 I don't care if--he did buy a house here.
01:09 He bought a house here a long time ago.
01:10 It has nothing to do with it.
01:12 This is a lovely community in which to raise your family, right?
01:16 Yes.
01:17 It has nothing to do with whether or not you're going to play here for half the year.
01:21 And Derrick Henry's not playing here for half the year.
01:23 He's going to go try to win a championship in Baltimore and good for him.
01:26 Now, as we speak, and this may--by the time you watch this, this may have happened.
01:30 The A.J. Dillon thing is real.
01:34 Is A.J. Dillon a star running back?
01:36 He's kind of a plotter.
01:39 P-L-O-O-D-E--plotter.
01:42 He plots.
01:43 Okay.
01:44 He's not--he doesn't make splash plays.
01:49 He's not a world-class sprinter.
01:50 He's none of those things.
01:51 He's a good running back.
01:52 He's a red zone threat?
01:53 Definitely so.
01:54 That's what he'd need.
01:55 He wasn't--with the Packers last year, wasn't a touchdown guy,
01:58 but previous to that in Green Bay had been a touchdown guy
02:01 as kind of the one-two punch alongside Aaron Jones.
02:05 So CowboysSI.com is reporting now, as you say, one-two punch, complimentary.
02:10 A lot of people on Twitter at Fish Sports are going, "Complimentary to what?
02:13 They don't have another--their plan is to draft a guy."
02:16 - Yeah.
