As Cowboys defy convention, is it time to gamble on Texas’ Bijan Robinson?
Defying any reasonable doubts they might have had about Mike McCarthy, the Dallas Cowboys decided to expand his responsibilities instead of reduce them. Next season, he won’t just manage the clock, but also will call his own plays.And defying every trend in football, McCarthy says he wants to run the ball more and throw it less.
Forget what history and the experts say about the dangers of taking a running back in the first round of the NFL draft.And defy the rest of the league to prove you can’t go back to the 1990s again. But this wouldn’t be about merely marketing. If Ezekiel Elliott is finished , and if the Cowboys aren’t prepared to use their franchise tag on Tony Pollard , and if McCarthy is serious about the comments he made at the draft combine this week about wanting to “run the damn ball so I can rest my defense” , then do it in style.Is there a good reason why no running backs were taken in the first round last year, and why none since 2018 have been taken higher than No.
He's not Barry Sanders. That’s sacrilege. But Robinson’s highlight reel is filled with little spins and cuts that make the comparison seem not quite so sacrilegious, if only for a split-second here and there.
