Cute saying. Too bad it is stupid. Yes stats can be misused. Acting as if they don't count at all is ignorant.

Chad Diehl, FB, Clemson
Height: 6-2. Weight: 257.
Projected 40 Time: 4.79.
Arm: 30 3/8. Hand: 9 7/8.
Projected Round (2011): 7-FA.
3/6/12: Diehl did a good job of lead blocking for Andre Ellington, but Diehl did not catch a pass in 2011.

8/22/11: Chad Diehl is a powerful lead blocker. He has the ability to run over defenders and blast open holes for running backs. Diehl is not much of a runner or receiver. Over three seasons, he has a total of seven receptions for 39 yards with five carries for eight yards. Diehl has to be a dominant blocker in 2011 to get drafted.

Cody Johnson would be a good UDFA too. Either way, I expect them to pick up a couple after the draft. By now, Casey should be the starter at FB. He's also a receiving threat which is nice. Would be nice to have a bruiser though.

Cowboys sign FB Lawrence Vickers
By Calvin Watkins

The Cowboys agreed to terms on a two-year deal with fullback Lawrence Vickers from the Houston Texans, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Vickers, a six-year veteran from Beaumont, Texas, played in 14 games last season. He only had one carry and had two special teams tackles for the Texans.

Vickers was the lead running back for Arian Foster, who rushed for 1,224 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.

The Cowboys were also in talks with fullback Tony Fiammetta and declined to give him an exclusive rights deal on Tuesday. What this means for Fiammetta's future with the Cowboys is uncertain.

It appears doubtful the Cowboys would want Vickers and Fiammetta, two veterans on the team.
