Jerry Jones believes the strength of the Dallas Cowboys' offensive line will allow Joseph Randle and Darren McFadden to be productive at running back.

The goal is to have a running game opponents must respect.

"Even if we're in that game, even if they've done a good job of taking it away from us a little bit, even if we're having to throw more, the word is respect," Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. "If we can get defenses to compromise what they do their best to have to work on something that we can do because we have a running game, then we've accomplished something going into the game."

The Cowboys are replacing DeMarco Murray this season, who left in free agency to join the Philadelphia Eagles.
