The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Once again, Jerry Jones won't rule out the Cowboys signing another veteran running during the summer months, but he reaffirmed his belief in the current stable of backs. The Cowboys owner believes that the totality of the running game, despite the defection of the NFL's leading rusher, DeMarco Murray, is actually better than last year. "When you say the entire running game -- and that would be including our tight ends, including fullbacks, the entire game -- we're better. We're better," Jones said Wednesday.

Diehards Line: Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle, Lance Dunbar and Ryan Williams currently make up the Cowboys' running back depth chart. McFadden will likely get the first crack at the starting gig, but the other three will get their chance to wrestle carries away. The addition of undrafted free agent offensive lineman La'el Collins -- regarded as a first-round talent -- to the NFL's best set of blockers certainly adds to the Cowboys' belief that anyone can succeed behind their road-paving offensive line. Given Tony Romo's age and health issues last season, the Cowboys will continue to rely heavily on the running game. This year it will be in committee form -- unless somebody separates themselves from the heard.
