WHAT?
Hambrick's longest run from scrimmage was only 12 yards. I call that an effective run - a great run is a 40 yard touchdown. I didn't see any great runs last night. Cason's 63 yard touchdown run in the first game of the season was a great run.

I call a 12 yard run a great run. That is a automatic first down. A good run is about what a running back average which is about 4 yards a carry. Anytime you get a automatic first down I consider that a great run. A bad run is when you lose yardage. Anything is better than losing yardage.

Your standards are too low. A starting NFL running back should average about 4 yards a carry so that makes an AVERAGE run a "good" run?
If Hambrick is averaging 2.8 yards per carry then obviously he is doing a poor job. I don't want an average running back with the Boys (let alone a poor one). The Cowboys have a heritage of GREAT running backs.
