First and 10: Rolando McClain’s future
This week’s edition of First and 10 at CowboysHQ hits on the future of Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain, the trade hopes of offensive guard Ron Leary, and our great content from OTAs, including the following from our Jordan Ross:
Certainly the addition of Ezekiel Elliott at running back has the potential to help both sides of the ball. I do believe the Cowboys need to strike a balance in how they use him, especially early. Every rookie hits a wall and it usually comes in late November and early December, when players like Elliott typically get a month off between their last regular season game and their bowl game. That doesn’t happen in the NFL. Mixing in Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden judiciously will help the Cowboys minimize that wall.
