Bench: Barber and Folk

Those two singlehandedly have been killing us for a while now. This is the third time (That comes to mind) where a Barber fumble totally changes our momentum shifting to the opponents favor, plus he is to damn slow to be the feature back. We waste to many plays on this guy. Get him out of there!!

Folk has been off for a while now so it's time to get Buehler in there. 57 yard field goal attempt and we don't use our Boot??? C'mon man. Then he misses the next one for what, 37 yards? He's off, get him out of there!!! Buehler needs to be our guy for the next few games, no brainer...

There are many other things that hurt us but those two hurt us the most. This coach is to soft, if he doesn't make an example out of these two then the rest of the season will continue to go down the drain...

Now fill up the glasses and give me some koolaide!!!:banghead:
 
Vent away my friend and lots of people with common sense will agree with you, BUT the michelin man and red won't bench either one: count on it.

I'm really getting tired of seeing Barber

he went from the Barbarian to being a totally lame RB

but he's the heart of the offense, so he gets all the looks

Well they need a heart transplant....and the biggest message they could send is benching his *** for Choice.

They can't do anything without Jerrys OK.
 
Running backs like Barber don't last very long in the league.

He's running like he's 30.

He really has dropped off.

or maybe 40.

He's been beat up too much - he probably should just retire rather than continue to abuse his body.

He kind of reminds me of Eddie George during his stint with us. When Julus came in and gave us a bit of a lift - maybe we can catch lightning in a bottle with a Felix + Choice combo down the stretch. They can still keep Barber for 3rd and short - he is quite good at those and can often gain that yard when we need it.
 
Eddie George during his stint with us really was a great comparison.

Only time I want Barber in the game is if we're in shotgun because he's a solid blitz pick-upper.

Other than that, I don't wanna see him on my tv screen.
 
Just cut Folk, no use in keeping a kicker around who does nothing but take up a roster spot.

Kickers are a dime a dozen.
 
Barber is soft and should sign up for dancing with the stars. Folk is mentally toasted and must be benched. This team continues to take a dump on its fans when it matters most. IM sick of it!!!
 
I agree.

Bench Folk. He's killing them.

I'd run Felix Jones and Tashard Choice most of the day for sure.

Barber looked too slow to beat them today.

When Felix got it going, (a first down run and a gain of 8) instead of giving it to him again, they pulled him and Barber looked slow losing 2 yards. Second and two became third and 4.

I like Barber, but Felix Jones is the key. We are going no where without him going off.

In my opinion, Dallas needs to go to a zone blocking scheme that features Felix Jones as the tailback.

That's ******** even for CZ. In case you didn't notice, the other 2 running backs did worse.
THE OL WAS BEAT
 
I don't think benching Barber is the answer. Remember '07? We started starting Barber in the Giants playoff game that year and things changed.

We need to start Felix/Choice and wear out the defense with power and speed, and finish with Barber on pure power.

I'm all for letting Bueller kick field goals. I'll have as much confidence that he'll make as does Folk. At least see what happens.
 
One thing I've noticed lately is the Cowboys seem to have more success running the ball right up the middle.. When they are trying to run the sweep is when they lose yards on the play..
