Check out this video, it makes you think. This is one of the most unbelievable highlight reels I have ever seen! Got me pumped, WOW! Watch the whole thing if you have never seen this.

Barber likes to lower his shoulder and he is good out of the backfield catching passes. Can we see Barber blasting through the middle opening up holes for Felix Jones and Tashard Choice plus taking 7-8 carries a game, handling goal line situations plus some swing passes out of the backfield?

Thoughts on what were gonna do with the 3 RBS?

I think Barber is best served as the closer in games. Have Felix and Tashard loosen up the defense and bring in Barber to crush their souls.

It worked out well for the Giants this year so hopefully the Cowboys can do the same thing next year...

When you have a Mariano Rivera you don't turn him into a middle reliever because you can.

I'd let Barber start the first series and then pull him. Run Choice the next three quarters. Play Barber at the end of the half and once the fourth quarter begins. Rotate Felix in occasionally and hope for the big play.

yes lets pay him 40 mill and then move him to FB that's epic.

Are you saying he would be less valuable as a FB? It think he would earn more of his paycheck and be a bruising, dominating FB with good speed. Plus contribute towards "winning" which is the ultimate goal.
 
It's late, I gotta go to work in the AM. Happy New year yall.

I so do not deserve this.

I'm waiting for the "Let's turn Witten into a left tackle" thread.

Or the "Tony Rom0 for middle linebacker" thread.

Not as an every down FB no way, however in certain situaions like 3rd down and short or just too mix things up you could line him up at FB with choice or felix at RB, we actuallly did it a few times this yr with barber and choice

David, if that happens I am going to hunt you down like a dog.

I don't think I can take Cowboy message boards this off season.

I love how after a half a seasons showing Choice and Jones are future superstars and Barber is the odd chump out. Remember when Julius was the future after his amazing rookie season? How did that work out?

I also love this posts laying out how many carries each back should get a game and how to "mix things up". Like planning things out to such a fine detail is always going to work and how no team will be able to stop thier awesome three headed running attack.

Oh come on, that's ridiculous.

I'll tell you who can hit, though, that Paulescu. Now he could do some damage in the middle of our D.

So I guess the "Wade Phillips for Nose Tackle" thread is right out?

That would give us that big fat guy in the middle every one wants.
 
You could do some things with him at Fullback if you have Felix in the game as well.

When you do that though you'll always have to do some more exotic looking things like misdirections and stuff.

As far as doing it for an entire game and asking Barber to be a true full back is not realistic though.
