In one five-game stretch, Warren totaled 19 carries. Then Smith broke his hand against Minnesota and Warren had 19 carries the next game.

Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman said Warren has the best hands of any running back he s thrown to. Warren has 29 receptions for 200 yards this season after catching 13 for 66 in nine games last year. He s a great back all the way around.
