Ingram named starter for week one
Announced earlier today by the team, Jason Garrett has decided to name Mark Ingram as the team's starting running back for week one, despite the huge preseason by rookie Cassidy Reynolds.
"We like what both players bring to the table," Jason Garrett said, "both backs compliment each other so well." The Cowboys ultimately decided to name Ingram as the starter due to his experience, his ability to block, and his skill in the rushing and passing game. Reynolds has a lot of speed and explosiveness, and ability to make big plays.
