The Dallas Cowboys had a frustrating offseason with a couple of perplexing roster moves. Their decisions in the running back room were especially questionable as the Cowboys parted ways with Tony Pollard and replaced him by bringing back Ezekiel Elliott. Close to the start of the season, they added Dalvin Cook to the practice squad but he has yet to make his Cowboys debut.
Through the first two games of the season, Cowboys fans are understandably frustrated with the production of their running backs. Zeke is averaging 3.5 yards per carry and he has put up a total of 81 yards from scrimmage. Rico Dowdle, who got the start over Elliott in Week 2, is not faring much better, averaging 3.7 yards per rushing attempt, and adding 91 total yards from scrimmage.
It sounds like it's not just the fanbase that is frustrated with the RB situation. Jerry Jones spoke to 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday and his remarks could certainly be understood as regret. When talking about the Ravens' star rusher Derrick Henry, he said that they needed to get ready to do other things rather than "regret or lament on whether or not we signed one of those players we're playing Sunday".

Henry was a free agent in the offseason after spending eight years in Tennessee. He signed with Baltimore on a two-year, $16 million deal. In his first two starts, he had 130 rushing yards on 31 carries and already scored two touchdowns.
The Ravens, who are surprisingly 0-2 to start the season despite Henry's solid performances, are looking to right the ship on Sunday against the Cowboys. On FanDuel Sportsbook, Dallas is a 1.5-point home underdog against Baltimore.
