Choice is very good. But we need Barber.

[juck]

Is barber going to actually play this week?If his toe is dislocated cant they put it back in place?This guy is what we need for passion and hard runs that require power.I must say choice is the real deal,but I think we need the heart of this team back.Hopefully Holland can play.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I imagine he'll play more than he has the last two games because this is it. Either win or it's all over.

Either way though I have full confidence in Choice being able to get the job done. He's already proven he can.

 

[Apollo Creed]

I'll be the first to say that Choice is a much better running back than a slightly banged up Barber.

Choice has great vision, he sets up his blockers, and he makes great cuts. He has been incredible for us over this stretch. The combination of him and Felix next year will be lethal.

Choice is better then a Barber at 80%, Choice is the hot hand now if we're going to make the playoffs it will be on his shoulders. Choice is the only consistent positive we've had on offense the last 3 weeks

Barber hasn't looked the same since he came back. In fact, he's looked next to horrible except for a couple of short passes. Choice is the hot man and he's looked great. Give him the ball.

 

[xWraithx]

would you guys trade Barber and keep Felix/Choice?

what would we be able to get for Barber?

 

[Dallyjake]

We should have rode Choice hard in that Ravens game. He has amazed me since he has stepped on the field. I knew he was good watching him at Gtech. At this point in the season I have more confidence in TC than MBIII. Barber is really banged up. Choice is fresh and it shows big time when he is out and MBIII is in the game.

Barber will take the lead role next year. For now, let them stick to the majority of snaps to TC.

The trio of MBIII, FELIX, AND TC will be awesome for years to come.

Where is JuJo when you need him!

Like getting Jay Ratliff in the 7th round of the 2005 NFL draft?

Barber isn't running hard anymore he is running scared he hasn't broken many tackles and does not run at deffenders anymore. Tashard Choice is the real deal and he does run hard and he gets skinny and has that speed burst that Marion Barber lacks.

Barber is more than "slightly banged up", he hurt his ribs earlier in the year and didn't miss any time. Who knows what other injuries he's played with.

Or Bobby Carptenter in the 1st.

I'd like to see Choice and Barber at both around 15 or so carries a piece. But feed the hot hand.

Choice is better than Barber. Period. Barber is a great finisher, but not an every down back. He split carries, both in college and in the pros, until this season. Choice carried the load for his college team. Barber can do one thing better than Choice. Choice can do many things better than Barber.

Just my opinion.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Choice needs to get the bulk of the carries - around 90%. Barber with the bum toe simply doesn't have the burst to reach the LOS with power, let alone get through the LOS consistently.

 

[5Countem5]

As someone said, Barber didn't look close to "right" to me. I hope he is back but he looked SLOW.

 

[This is Our Year]

As good as barber is, with the way Choice is playing this hasn't been our problem. We can win with Choice playing like he has been. Our problem is this O-Line that blows and has Romo injured (pinkey,back) and on the run virtually every passing play. Thank god Romo has a little mobility or we litterally wouldn't be able to move the ball through the air IMO.

 

[Torre]

Regardless of who is running for us, Choice and/or Barber, JG should not give up on the running plays. We need to keep a balanced attack to keep the opponents' defense honest and improve our chances of winning.

Romo's made some bad decisions too, don't excuse him too much. We got to Flacco a lot in the first half and he didn't throw any picks. Gotta make better decisions.

 

[arglebargle]

The Cowboys organization avoided finding out what they had in some of their rookies, so they kept Barber active, when they should have been letting him sit and recuperate. He obviously can't run well. They have had him in for two games, and aside from short passes, he can't do it.

If they'd known what they had in Choice, they'd have had the confidence to rest Barber.
