Barber should employ Tikis holding of the ball

[juck]

Do u remember when Tiki kept fumbling and he started holding it in front and the fmbling stopped ,I think Barber is there where he needs some help.6 fumbles although only a few were lost but still.

Put him back to his role from last year. He wont fumble.

The Slash & Dash Felix Jones should start.

if he could stay healthy, I would agree with you.

It's hard for him the way he is constantly twisting and fighting for yards/he has put it on the ground a bit to much

I thought I remember someone saying he was a fumbler in college any truth to this?

still love his passion for the game/wish it would spread

Yes, but I do not feel MBIII has a problem yet.

I have noticed a lot of his fumbles have come when he has been getting hit from behind. when defenders catch him right about when he is going to cut.

i called for felix to start 3 weeks ago and was shouted down.

Why should he start?

Barber averaged 5.5 ypc with a TD vs. the Rams. What is the problem with that?

the 1 fumble a game is the problem.... and have you seen felix's YPC?

I dont think he deserves to be benched, but he is fumbling too much. He officially has 5 now on the season, although I was thinking he had a couple overturned by instant replay or blown dead by the refs too. He's got to hold onto the ball better than this. 5 in 7 games means he is on pace for double digit fumbles this yr, thats bad. Eventually we wont be so lucky recoevering most of them all either.

Ok, this is the same thing we were all saying last year. Why isnt Barber starting, look at his ypc, blah blah blah.

OF COURSE the ypc is going to go down when you get 10+ more carries a game.

You can bet Felix would not average 6+ yards a carry if he were to carry it 20+ times a game. I would bet my life savings (which isnt much ) in Vegas he wouldn't.

I think the problem is those darn black sleeves he wears over his elbows. I remember that RB that played for Green Bay(Ahmaad Green?) had a major case of fumblitis, while he wore those things....

Barber has been exposed for the complimentary back that he is. He cannot handle the pounding week in and week out. It only took 7 games to prove it. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are on the hook overpaying him for many more years.

JJ really needs to hire a GM - there was no need to give Barber that contract. No one was going to sign him. We would have been better off letting him play out the year and then figure out what to pay him - kind of like what we did with Romo last year.

oh please, he has not been exposed. He has had a pretty decent year to date. You seem to complain about every contract, didn't have to pay this guy, didn't have to pay that guy. Please. It was a good signing.
