The Dallas Cowboys released running back Tashard Choice on Saturday, NFL Network's Michael Lombardi confirms. Choice confirmed the move on his Twitter page, writing, "I just want to say thanks to all the great dallas cowboy fans. My time in Dallas has come to an end and the best is yet come. God bless." Choice, 26, is averaging 2.7 yards on 28 carries without any touchdowns this season. With Felix Jones hobbled by a high ankle sprain, the Cowboys are down to two healthy running backs -- rookies DeMarco Murray and Phillip Tanner. Choice started against the St. Louis Rams last week, but it was Murray who stole the show with a team-record 253 rushing yards. The Cowboys will activate linebacker Bruce Carter to take Choice's roster spot, Lombardi reports. Source: NFL.com
Read they were trying to trade him. But apparently with his stats and injury that wasn't going to happen. Besides with Tanners play during preseason and Murray's play last week. Choice was the logical person. We kept 5 backs out of preseason. Also read that if it wasn't for Carter being out Choice wouldn't have made it past preseason. Of course that was pure speculation at that time.
I was thinking the same thing. We hit gold on Lee, I just hope we don't strike out on Bruce.. Ha! If they both end up starting and both end up being beastly, that would be a funny nickname. Bruce Lee combo.. lol
I just hope they haven't made a mistake by letting Choice go, and that Murray isn't just a one week wonder.
