When have we seen the bolded? He hasn't been running between the tackles, that I've seen. It's been Randle when not Murray. They've been afraid to run Dunbar up the gut, to my knowledge.

He has only run the ball 11 times and all in the Titans game. Not on draws or counters but mostly on guard and tackles like Murray runs. Here is a play by play from the 4th quarter of the Titan game. To your point, 7 yards and 5 yards are good. But of his 27 total rushing yards this year those 19 yards are really the only successes.

1st and 15 at DAL 27 (3:45) L.Dunbar left tackle to DAL 34 for 7 yards (B.Pollard).
2nd and 8 at DAL 34 (3:02) L.Dunbar up the middle to DAL 37 for 3 yards (K.Wimbley).
3rd and 5 at DAL 37 (2:17) L.Dunbar up the middle to DAL 44 for 7 yards (C.Sensabaugh).
Timeout #3 by TEN at 02:11.
1st and 10 at DAL 44 (2:11) L.Dunbar left end to DAL 49 for 5 yards (K.Wimbley; M.Martin).
Two-Minute Warning
2nd and 5 at DAL 49 (2:00) L.Dunbar up the middle to DAL 49 for no gain (W.Woodyard).
3rd and 5 at DAL 49 (1:16) L.Dunbar up the middle to DAL 46 for -3 yards (M.Griffin).

That's a typical Dorsett or Emmitt beginning of the day.... Then you keep doing it, and doing it....

I want to see him get the Murray workload for 25 carries in one game, in the zone scheme. That's all.
