I know Choice had the sweet reception for a first down and I think I saw him throw a great block in pass protection, but I don't remember one rush from him. Am I forgetting something? The running game never really got going. Barber and Felix are clearly not 100% yet, so why not let Choice do his thing?

not one

and what I didnt get, they had a banged up barber and Jones running in the 4th quarter with a sizeable lead??????
 
Looked at the box score after the game and didn't see any. Not sure if that's legit but I believe it is. He was definately out there. The Cowboys offense was great today. No complaints here. They need to get Felix and Barber back going. I really could careless. I honestly I don't think you can go wrong with either of the backs. But I think you do need to be watchful on how much you run each one. Especially Felix who MAY be prone to injuries.

I really wanted to see what that Wildcat formation play was going to do. Looked like they had something with Romo possibly ending up making the throw.
 
Tashard Choice reminds me of Kevin Faulk of the Pats

almost invisible except for key, 3rd down conversion, receptions

not a bad niche

yeah I was thinking the same thing. put in your most durable back to clean up in garbage time.

Great point. Why risk their health when the game is in hand and Choice is healthy? I'm totally satisfied with the win, but the reluctance to use Choice when he has clearly proven himself just doesn't make sense.
 
nope. and you know what, thats the way it is when your number 3.

Just like crayton if he doesnt like it he can lump it.

I agree that he's the #3, but why risk Barber and Jones toward the end when they could've used the rest? I'm glad Choice is a trooper. I saw Romo pat him on the shoulder pad while they were walking thru the tunnel after the game. Romo was probably thinking the same thing. Why didn't they give you some carries today?

the problem is that Marion Barber wants to stay in as much as possible

sometimes you don't yank those guys out

barber doesnt look right to me yet either, but if he is okay, I wanted him running the ball at the end there too. Atlanta does a good job stripping the ball. Its nice to have barber out there in the end.

I hope choice doesnt act like roy williams this week and cry to the media.

it is what it is, if they are all healthy choice is going to just get limited opporutunities. he made a great catch at a big moment. If he is the team player he is sold to be he will just roll with it.
 
Well, Choice is the 3rd down back, and for much of the game, Dallas was in middle to long yardage situations on 3rd down.

This was one of those games where Romo was just "on." Add that to the fact that Atlanta was dead-set against stopping the run (at least early on) and you see the outcome in the poor rushing output across the board.

While I would like to see Choice get more carries, I don't know if I disagree with how the playcalling was executed. Dallas went with the hot hand, and it paid off. They put in Barber to close out the game, which is what he does best.
 
Just has Austin has given a WR that Romo can throw to with confidence, I believe changing the RB rotation will help also. Choice to start, Felix continues to do what he does, and Barber going back to being the "closer" which is what got him to the Probowl.

Thats when a coach reminds the player who the coach is. Too much to ask of Wade I suppose.

i appreciate guys that want to be on the field but lets be smart about it. Its a 16 game season this being week 7 and youre already banged up. Sit down and let the number 3 mop up.

Agreed. If Choice doesn't like it, **** him.

If Barber and Jones are healthy, they need the carries.

That's all I'm saying.

what is with you guys, Choice isnt complaining about anything. We are simply questioning why he didnt get any carries in garbage time.

Talk about drama queens.

He's got too much class to complain. I was just wondering why he wasn't used more today. That's all.
