Jason Witten is sticking up for his running back, and making a great point while he’s at it.

“We’ve got good running backs,” the Cowboys tight end said Thursday when asked about DeMarco Murray. “Joe Randle took advantage of every opportunity he got. I think (Lance) Dunbar’s got a great future ahead of him. Obviously the O-line, but I think it would be silly to not give (Murray) the credit for what he did.

“It’s not easy to do that and I think coach (Jason) Garrett said it a few weeks back that he created a mindset for our team and that’s not easy to do,” Witten continued. “He deserves a lot of that credit, DeMarco does, and so that’s why you want a guy like that back, because he stands for everything you want in your football team.”
