3 new Dallas Cowboys form healthy running back competition

"The Cowboys were seemingly unsatisfied with their committee approach featuring Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott last season," Solak wrote.

"But for some reason beyond my understanding, they are set to enter camp with a committee featuring Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders and rookie fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue. Surely this year the Cowboys won't be punished by not having a back they can trust!"

A committee approach could work for the Cowboys, especially since all three of the players listed above have different running styles. Eventually, it may behoove Dallas to go with some form of hierarchy, especially if one player stands above the rest.

If one player were to break out from the pack, Blue might have the best chance because of his rookie status.

Both Williams and Sanders have struggled as the NFL mileage has piled on, and the team could look at them as backups as opposed to featured backs.

There's a lot of time between now and the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, and that gives the Cowboys plenty of time to figure out who will take the bulk of the carries out of the backfield.
