The Dallas Cowboys have had health issues with DeMarco Murray and trying to keep him on the field. Running back Lance Dunbar suffered a sprained left foot in last Saturday’s preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cowboys liked Dunbar who may or may not be available for the team’s season opener against the New York Giants.
“This is probably a stretch, but I know what [Brian] Westbrook did to us for 100 years in Philadelphia,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan’s New School. “I couldn’t figure it out, but all he did was go out there and make plays anyway he could touch the ball.”
It is a lofty comparison, Westbrook played 9 seasons and was named an All-Pro twice. He compiled over 10,000 yards in his career. By comparison Dunbar got 108 yards last year in his rookie season.
“You pick players that you try to identify players with. Someone would say, ‘He’s no Westbrook’, and I would have to agree with you at this particular point,” said Jones.
