i know that julius jones gets plenty of love here, but during the season he had plenty of detractors and doubters, too. i think they might feel differently if they'd look at the following figures.

fact is, jones has had 15 games in the past two seasons in which he has carried the ball 20+ times. and what did he do in those games?

ATT YDS AVG TD

30 81 2.7 0
33 150 4.5 2
30 198 6.6 3
23 88 3.8 1
25 80 3.2 0
22 57 2.6 0
29 149 5.1 1


26 93 3.6 1
22 81 3.7 0
26 85 3.3 2
22 76 3.5 0
21 92 4.4 0
20 55 2.8 0
23 74 3.2 0
34 194 5.7 2

totals:
386 1553 4.0 12

that's a heck of a season -- and no, i don't doubt that he can survive a full season and put up these numbers.

Most RB's need to carry the ball around 20 times a game to get good results.

I don't need to look at any stats from 2005, b/c Julius ran behind the absolutely worst O-Line I've seen in a longgg time. Look at his highlight tape in 2004 the guy can definately make him happen. Barber always got those 8-12 yards run when it's 3rd and a mile to pad his stats. Julius Jones when healthy has the potential to be a top 5 NFL back.

Haha same here... Slams and off tackles never fail against the computer.

I will never forget the lack of support that this site showed Julius this past season.
Everyone was ready to bench him for good and annoit MB3 the next HOFer based on one game.

JJ was obviously not full speed this past year and got no help from the line.
The guy is a beast and will prove it if given the proper opportunity.

He does, however, have no hands.

I love that game... It really opens up the play action deep ball to.. No... Not Terry Glenn, but Keyshawn *** Johnson hahaha. The game gets so much more graphically realistic, but the game Xs and Os wise is staying the same.

Julius is going to be the man if he can stay healthy and the o-line is fixed and improved big time. I think that is the #1 reason the boys aren't the champs this season.
