Bench Julius Jones

[VoR]

Troy Hambrick had a better average than Emmit Smith when Smith was still starting.

How did that one turn out?

I say you stick with Jones. Why? Because Parcells knows more about football than you do, thats why.

He's sure proven he knows more about offensive lines than anybody here too.

You can wait and see next year, but in the mean time we need to be winning games, and trying to make the playoffs, and MB3 gives us the best oppourtunity to do so.

Um, I believe I said Barber is the superior back. I'm agreeing with you, not against you, bud.

Yeah, but take away that 51-yard run, and Julius had 11 carries for 19 yards. So what if he busts a 50+ yard run every 10 games? I want a running back who can consistently get 5-to-6-yard runs and break a few tackles in doing so. Right now, that back is Marion Barber.

I really like Julius, but he's been very mediocre this season and MB3 has played well. I would rather play the guy who can get the job done.

Failed to read the entire post eh? I even mentioned that silly argument. And I'd love to know when Barber was getting 5-6 yds a carry?

So are you saying that practice is more meaningful than regular season games?

So what if Julius is a beast in practice. Marion is the beast in games when it counts.

He's the better blocker. The better pass catcher out of the backfield. And overall, the better RB who fights for every yard with a passion.

Oh, and he seems to have a knack for getting in the endzone by any means necessary.

Bench Julius in favor of Marion. I like Julius, but damn, it's painfully obvious who is doing the better job on the field and who's the catalyst for this offense.

Totally agree...I really don't know why some people are even arguing about it.

I don't care what Jones did last year...This year Barber is the better back...It's really not even close.

the only time he was getting those kind of yds was against the Cards. Not against anyone else.

You're REALLY reaching here if you think this is a way to prove Barber is worth more than Julius.

I agree, Barber is without a doubt the superior back right now. HOWEVER, so soon we forget Barber getting chased down by a Sammy Knight from behind last week who had no angle. Suddenly, Barber is superman and can outrun Sean Taylor at an angle like he had on Julius?

I just don't see how we can write off Julius. Anyone with eyes can see Julius is nowhere close to the RB he was last year. That to me points to an injury or lack of confidence. Whether it is truely either, no one honestly knows.

I'd rather wait and see until Julius is given time to be healthy. Their has been sometiems in the last few games where he busts thru the hole so quickly he looks like the RB of last year, so I'm willing to wait.

Even if this is the Julius we should all expect from now on, I still love the combo of Barber and Jones.

Just hopefully we can put a decent line in front of them for years to come.

What angle did Sean Taylor have on Julius?
