Maybe he is wondering\u2013and has been wondering for weeks\u2013why, exactly, the\u00a0Cowboys\u00a0signed former Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook back in late August if there was no intention on playing him.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys have the worst running game in the NFL, with\u00a0just 463 total yards\u00a0and a yards-per-carry average of 3.5. Both of those numbers rank 32nd in the league. Yet, Dallas keeps trotting out\u00a0Ezekiel Elliott\u00a0and\u00a0Rico Dowdle\u00a0as the team\u2019s 1-2 punch at halfback.<\/p>\n<p>Dowdle has shown he is a keeper. But Elliott? The Cowboys have little reason to keep a guy who has just 115 yards in six games and is averaging 3.0 yards per carry, a career low. It can\u2019t hurt to bring in Cook, who is still on the practice squad\u2013there\u2019s virtually no chance that he is worse than Elliott at this point.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>And it could be that Micah Parsons agrees\u2013and perhaps even is sending a message to Cowboys Nation. That\u2019s according to internet sleuths who noticed that on his popular podcast, \u201cThe Rush,\u201d this week, Parsons had a Dalvin Cook jersey hanging over his right shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>As popular Cowboys\u00a0analyst J.Tuck wrote,\u00a0\u201cHOLD UP MICAH GOT A DALVIN COOK JERSEY UP IN THE BACK??\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_2\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\"><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Getting Suggestions on Dalvin Cook?<\/h2>\n<p>Now, there was some fun had with the notion that Parsons had Cook\u2019s jersey hanging in the background of the podcast, but then, he always has three jerseys hanging behind him. Most of the jerseys rotate, but Cook\u2019s jersey has been featured behind Parsons\u2019s right shoulder throughout the entire season.<\/p>\n<p>Sorta like Parsons was telling the team to play the new guy.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_3\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It could just be a coincidence. Parsons and Cook have had multiple run-ins in their careers, but they have respect for each other. Perhaps there is nothing more to Parsons\u2019 Cook jersey placement than that.<\/p>\n<p>But it is suspicious. Everyone loves Elliott and the approach he takes as a leader for the team, though the truth is, he can\u2019t produce much anymore. Cook would be worth a shot. Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has been noncommittal on a Cook return date.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_4_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-4 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_4\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But he did say, recently: \u201cWe\u2019re definitely moving him forward. But the other part of it, too, is I think Rico and [Elliott] they haven\u2019t been given a lot of opportunities too, so it isn\u2019t like they haven\u2019t done anything to warrant their opportunities decreasing right now. It\u2019s a great place to be. It gives us excellent depth.
