Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

After watching the GAYBOYS game tonight I noticed one thing, Felix Jones is a BEAST... This sucks for the East because Dallas has a deep Running Game. Barber is a decent player but in my opinion Jones should start, Their WR'S won't be as good obviously but I don't think they need TO if those Rb's can stay healthy. Felix was injured in college some and of course he missed most of last year but if he can play 16 games there is potential for him to be a Pro Bowler..

Also Cassel looked good in the Chiefs-Vikings game, hopefully JC looks just as good tomorrow night!

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

Thanks for recognizing cause he will be a huge part of the offense fire power. I am hoping Dallas idiot for a offensive coordinator can at least give the guy 10 touches a game.

Yes, he is amazingly talented. But his durability remains in question.

Because of last season??Get out of here. Before that at Arkansas he left early one game and missed the next because of that previous game injury and that is it. People sure are quick to label F Jones something he is not. Stop listening to the commentators.
B Westcrook is injury prone he has Earned that title.

Felix had 41 touchdowns in his senior year in HS, he has been doing amazing things for some time now.

Tarvaris Jackson and Matt Ryan looked pretty sharp too. TJ made a case for someone to at least to try to trade for him, and Ryan looks like an MVP candidate

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

A problem for who? The Titans?

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

They really should make Jones the starting runningback and let Barber be the closer. It would make their team better.

But, we are dealing with a group that builds a 1.2 billion dollar stadium that you can't punt in so they will screw it up.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

2 words:

Albert Haynesworth. ;)

In case you have forgotten he is our "Beast" who will help clog up those running lanes. Hopefully our LB's and Safeties are prepared to cover the flanks. I think more teams will now try to run to the outside.

I agree about the monitor. As much as I like felix, barber is da sh*t.

I wasn't listening to the commentators. I've been watching the endless stream of backs who come into the NFL ready to light it up but they can't stay healthy in the face of an NFL pounding. We'll see about Felix.

AP is a back that is injury prone.
If Felix misses a few games this year call it then, but not after one rookie season.

But Barber is not as talented. Felix is a threat to score from anywhere on the field. There just aren't that many players in the league like that.

You aren't getting off that easy about the monitor. Jones looks like a complete fool right now. From this point forward, I will not acknowledge the Billion Dollar Debacle as a football stadium. By definition, you have to be able to punt in a football stadium.

I am Barber bias...he rips teams (ex Redskins game last year) hearts out all game long. Dallas needs both of them in the back field at the same time.

More screen talk.... I don't know what else you want from me, I agree its stupid sh*t, just freaking dumb. Jones is a fool but the monitor can be fixed so no big deal after this week probably.

That was his one good game against us. Did you forget when we castrated the Barbarian in Texas Stadium? (guess so) He was also pretty ineffective in his previous games against Washington. Don't just say things that sound good...

I also find how non-chalant you are about the million pound HD screen that will just get "moved". I cannot fathom opening a $1.2 billion structure that cannot serve the purpose it was built for. All I know is that at this moment, the Billion Dollar Debacle is a colossal failure (very similar to Romo's career to this point).

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

ValleyRanchGirl this towards your qoute.
Felix had 41 touchdowns in his senior year in HS, he has been doing amazing things for some time now.

Your going to quote H.S. stats.:pffff: What amazing things has he done for you but ride the pine. Come on little girl.:benched: Take that to a Billion Dollar Dibacle site. Dont plan on hang time this year.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

Jerry Jones has no plans to raise it according to the Sporting News.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

I hope that he gets heat from the Commish to do so. We can't keep watching do-overs. The Bonehead Palace is not football ready.

It punishes the punters. Is this their answer to outlawing the wedge?

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

Jones is explosive, but he's really raw, and first team defenses know when he comes into the game, there's a good chance he's getting the ball. Because Barber is a complete back, the Cowboys are forced to keep him on the field for his pass protection abilities.

The Redskins, for one team, don't match up with Felix Jones very well out of the backfield. They might need to treat him like they treat Brian Westbrook if they don't want to be beat.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

I'm sure we'll have a plan for Jones.

And there called Orakpo n Haynesworth.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

Before people go ahead and put Felix Jones in the hall of fame look at a break down of the stats...

1st quarter, 0:40 seconds left, first pass, 5 yards – First team D – PASS (C. Hope)

2nd quarter, 15:00, 2 rush yards – First team D – RUN (K. Vanden Bosh, K. Bulluck)

2nd quarter, 11:33, no gain – First team D – RUN (C. Finnegan)

2nd quarter, 5:31, 11 yards – Second team D – RUN (D. Nickey)

2nd quarter, 4:57, 3 yards – Second team D – RUN (D. Ball, G. McRath)

2nd quarter, 0:33, 42 yards short pass – Second team D – PASS (D. Nickey)

2nd quarter, 0:05, 1 yard touchdown – Second team D – RUN

Against the Titans first team defense he did pretty much nothing. His most damage came against the Titans second team defense. Is it a surprise that he did that good against their second team defense? I mean after all he was a 1st round draft pick. I would hope that our very own Ladell Betts could tear up a second team defense also...

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

I've got to agree with the original post. Felix Jones is one of the most explosive players in the league. Barber is overrated and people will start questioning why Felix isn't the starter by the end of the year.

Hold up now! You forgot what he did in High School.

Soooo, basically your saying he's like another Marcus Mason? ;)

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

Is this post a joke! The guy is one-dimensional. How does he do blocking? Not so well from what I've heard. And Troy Aikman was railing about how Jones can't catch the ball. Cowboys fans begone!

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

Does anybody else think it would be a good idea to just build a facility where fans can buy cheaper tickets to just go sit and watch the game on that big ass screen and still have fans actually going to watch it live.

felix jones, pacman jones, jerry jones, matt jones, jenny jones, the last indiana jones, the jonas brothers = painful to watch

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

I love the way Marion Barber runs, but if he keeps it up he'll last another two seasons tops.

They run Felix to the outside more anyway, so Haynesworth won't be much of a factor in stopping him. Barber, on the other hand...

Nothing was more demoralizing than that Sunday night game last year when the Skins D absolutely needed a stop for a chance to get the ball back, and Barber kept grinding out 1st downs. He reminds me of Riggo in that regard, keep feeding him the ball, because he's a beast by the 4th quarter.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

Barber has had one good game against the Skins in his career. One.

He's had far more memorable performances like this:

8 for 26
6 for -6 (yes negative yards)
15 for 43

Marcus Mason didn't run for 41 TDs as a high school senior.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!
 

He's good but not against our GREAT runstopping Defense. We held Barber to one of his season lows in yards, so I'm not to worried about Fast Felix.
