Last week, Dallas Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones reaffirmed his faith in the team’s running game going into the 2015 season. Jones went beyond simply assuaging any fears that there would be a drop in production:
“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.”
His specific mention of fullbacks was no accident, in my opinion. One key to victory in upcoming seasons could already be on the roster: fullback Tyler Clutts.
The fullback position is not particularly glamorous.
