He hasn't had that extra gear since the Giants game. Hes been stuck in 3rd and has no 4th.

I doubt he gets it back this week but maybe the 10 day layoff will bring us back the real MB3.

Barber is a very consistent runner for us...He doesn't get the big, explosive yardage very often, but nobody grinds out the hard yardage better!

I keep waiting for Felix to have his break out game...Now that he's back to 100%, I smell it coming very soon! This could be the day vs. his ex-team mate in oakland...We'll just have to see.

Garret's been saving MB's extra gear for December. He wanted to surprise everyone with it. Watch out December opponents. You heard it here first.

All our running backs had some good runs today. We have so many good backs right now we could almost run an option offense and still have success.

I love Barber.

But Felix needs more looks.

It's now time to take the kid gloves off of Felix Jones and let him take over as the lead back down the stretch.

Barber will still have a big role doing what he does in the 4th quarter.

why was he in at the end of the game? Garrett needs to have Choice finish games that we have big leads in.

Less Barber will be a good thing for this team. Jones and Choice bring more to the table right now. Barber is still gimpy and it shows. Too many one yard runs for me thanks.

I too would love to see Felix in the lead role.

barber looks slow. felix doesn't appear to have that burst he had earlier before the injury

perhaps it's still playing on his mind

I would like to see choice get more carries at this point

all in all a good rushing day just feel the burst is missing

When has he ever looked fast lol?

I like all 3 RBs we have. I like how we ran the ball today

Barber used to be able to bounce just about anything he wanted to the outside.

He just looks like he is running stiff right now.

Barber looks like he is stuck in 3rd gear and Felix looks like he can't get out of 4 high.

Not to join in the complaint fest, but Choice looked kinda slow to me on that long run out of the wildcat. I know he's not a burner, but he seemed faster to me in other runs.

Choice is good at 10-20 yard runs but when he has to go real long he'll wear out and not quite make it all the way, just like his 70 yard run.

I agree. I still don't think he looks right. Maybe the mini-bye will help.

Barber looked real good today, maybe not quite as fast as we are used to but he was back to making some tough runs he hadn't made in a couple weeks.

Yeah he didn't look quite so fast as other runs, he seemed to pull up and he kept looking back. One thing that I'm not a big fan of is using him on kick off duty....

Maybe he "looked slow" because Oaklands CBs are faster.

All our backs are slow, gimpy, made of glass and scared and that's why we only rushed for 195 yards today.
