im sorry but its funny how soon people forget!!
some folks have the nerve to state that choice is better than barber?
what in the hell is wrong with you guys tell me something choice has done that barber hasnt??
choice isnt stronger, a better blocker, and their speed is about even, and dont even get me started on heart!!!!
barber is hurt but the few plays we ran with him was outside crap which he shouldnt be doing with a bad toe.
choice isnt close to barber as a pass catcher out of the back feild remember the long td off of the screen pass.
and choice wouldnt of made it through that stretch that barber did when we just had brad as the qb.
defenses were keying on barber and he still put up some good all around games on the ground and receiving.
i agree that marion is our heart and soul because in most of the games where we look good on offense is when he's out there catching out of the backfeild and and pounding the defense.
tashard choice is a good change of pace guy and fresh legs but he will not wear a defense down i saw him plenty of time sliding through guys going down on tackles at least with barber if he's getting tackled he's hurting the guy doing it.
barber at 80% is still better than choice just coach him right.
no gimmicks just straight up the gut he can run north and south fine!!
he'll do what he does best and thats make somebody pay!!
mb3 would have kept soo many of those runs alive with his ability to break tackles .
i cant beleive how many people have the nerve to start mention they should split time and all of a sudden next year we can split all 3.
when felix comes back next year all choice will be is insurance.
granted he's playing well but lets not get ahead of ourselves.
because if thats the case lets all say we should start martellus bennett because he has showed in big games (the Commanders game) that he can make the great catches.
maybe he's better than a 75% jason witten??? hell no we want our best players on the field playing.
if barber shows after about 10 carries that he cant do it than im all for it.
but i dont want no rookie rb playing against one of the best blitzing teams of the last 10 years making romo run for his life like he did last week with a simple delayed blitz .
just imagine what jim johnson is thinking?? the kid is pretty solid but he isnt scaring teams and he goes down too easy and even trips over hiself.
i think we're gonna need barber to win this game this week.
if dallas trusted choice as a runner we wouldnt have been passing on 3rd and short and trying options on 3rd and 1 which we never run.
not having barber can stifle us at the goaline and if we are trying to seal the deal at the end of the game barber wears the defenses down and keeps the drive alive.
thats also why we keep running that annoying shotgun draw so often because choice cant get it done purely straight up the gut.
i like the guy and he has done good in barber's place but he's not on barber's planet.
its only 3 backs i'd take over barber and thats AP,tomilson, and maybe a healthy westbrook.( michael turner is playing some great ball too)
but choice isnt even in the same class as the rookies that came in this year with him(felix, macfadden, chris johnson, matt forte, steve slaton)
so lets please stop the madness folks we need barber against these defenses to soften things up across the middle for guys like witten and to soften those pass rushers down.
pitts and balt kept coming and the giants because choice couldnt wear them down.
once ray lewis would have blown through the middle on a blitz and met barber he would have been dancing around with him for the rest of the game to get to romo. not just flying back there like he was.
same for harrison from the steelers and the rest of those guys.
