If does end up the have no shortage of running backs able to carry the load. With , and already on the roster, a new name broke into the conversation at Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game: fullback-turned-running back .Smith, an grad, had 18 carries for 64 yards, continuing an impre sive offseason in his first year as a true running back in the . Due to that offseason, Cowboys Bryan Reynolds Jersey head coach Jason Garrett "We wanted to give the bulk of the snaps at running back to Rod," Garrett said, per the team's official website. "He got a lot of snaps, he got a lot of carries in the game. I thought he handled himself well."You can check out all the key takeaways from The Hall of Fame Game, of course, is hardly the end-all be-all for player performance, but it's an important first step to see how a player does in a live game situation. Smith, who played with Elliott at Ohio State, pulled off Elliott's patented hurdle on a Cardinals' Francisco Liriano Jersey defender before dubbing it the "Zeke Leap."Those who have been following the Cowboys shouldn't be surprised by the development. Word around Cowboys camp was that Smith had more or le s from Morris already. However, it may have been surprising to see how effective he was early Adam Frazier Jersey on, particularly for a player that so rarely gets a large workload.Smith said that he hadn't gotten that many carries "since high school" after the game. "I was eager. I was fired up. I didn't want to come out," he said. "When they finally pulled me out, I didn't want to come out at all. But for the most part, I felt like I did decent. Still got a lot more to do."Depending on what happens with Zeke, Smith may have a more to do. The third running back slot in Dallas should be a JB Shuck Jersey hotly contested position. For Smith, a third-year player that hasn't run often, it's a coveted role, as players that run behind the Dallas offensive line have a tendency to pick up yards in bunches."He's playing with more and more confidence, and you see that," Garrett said. "It wasn't always pretty, but I thought he handled himself well -- both in the run game and the pa s game." For Smith's part, he thought that he did alright being a ball-carrier as opposed to a lead blocker."I just feel comfortable, being back at running back," he said. "When I get the ball in my hands, I feel like I can always do something special -- something good can Josh Bell Jersey always happen when I've got it."A lot more good things may end up happening for Smith if he continues his succe s, especially for a team with the reputation of the Cowboys.
