I’m not going fullback here for multiple reasons: 1. The Cowboys view Geoff Swaim as an H-Back capable of lead-blocking like a fullback and line-blocking like a TE. 2. The Cowboys want to be absolutely sure they cover themselves at RB, and Ryan Williams provides a special x-factor the other runners don’t possess. The Jones’ want to look smart letting DeMarco go to Philly, and they will make extra-sure they are golden at RB.
