Did we just see a transition from Barber to Jones as starter?

Hopefully he heals up a bit, but I think that the snap balance has been permanently altered between Barber and Jones. Can't put that genie back in the bottle.

ok...yeah.

WATCH THE THREE PLAYS. HE LOOKED LIKE A GIRL. he didnt feel right cause he didnt RUN IT UP THE GUT. He hesitated.

He deserved to be benched.

wade is covering for him and that is all. Watch the game film.

He made 3 wrong choices in a row.

I suppose you think Tony Romo was bad too .. I mean he didn't play defense .. and how about that Ware guy .. not a single catch last night. :cool:

Way I see it we have 3 very good RB who starts I don't care all I want to see is backs producing and contributing to the offense when they are in the game. Like others I did heard Phillips say Barber took himself out of the game because of the knee problem. I know for a guy like Barber that is not easy to do but he put his team 1st and himself 2nd by doing what was best for all.

That's why I'd liken it to what happened in '07.

Maybe it wasn't as plainly put as it was in '07, when Jones was literally told "you will no longer be the starter" before the game, but I think now that this game has happened, it is very hard to put Jones back in his 5-10 carry role. Maybe it happens, but I certainly wouldn't predict it.

Actually, Barber has started several games just like that this season, but the Cowboys stayed with him. This time, he stayed on the sideline so I'm sure his health was the issue.

I think it depends on who we are playing. Some teams Barber matches up better and teams like Philly Felix does. You take it game by game. Who ever is playing the best you go with him.

I think if that's the criteria, then Felix Jones is certainly the answer at the moment.

Trainers said he had NO PROBLEMS. HE was FINE to go in the game.
ITs all a smokescreen.

He has no confidence and he isnt playing smart football.

trade him.

felix is our new starter.

NBC announcers panned to him on the sidelines and stated as much.....late 3rd qtr/early 4th

not sure what injury they said......if my memory serves me right a bruised knee/knee cap....correct me if i'm wrong

Thats it. Wade also addressed it after the game. He said MBIII didn't feel right and he essentially took himself out of the game. However, he was well enough to get back in the game if he was NEEDED. But he wasn't. I thought it was a smart and unselfish move on his part.

3rd quarter. 3 minutes and 35 seconds andrea kramer reports that the dallas cowboys training staff the official word is that he is eligible to play.

NO PROBLEMS>

He was benched. its all a bs smokscreen to defend barber.

watch how he played. he didnt hit the holes on ANY of his three runs (he blundered into it on the first run)

maybe he pulled himself but its evident his mind wasnt quick enough to hit the holes and he wasnt playing well.

whether it was him pulling himself or garrett you watch the tape. on the 2nd and 16 for the draw he has a MASSIVE hole to his right and he stutter steps instead of sprinting right into it to gain 5 or 6. and he just dives into the middle and gets tackled.

maybe it is just barber. either way he was less than impressive.

Barber sustained a serious shoulder injury when he was signing his new contract. Happens to a lot of players.

There's a lot of people here still celebrating. You can either celebrate with them or you can continue to act like a ****** and be the next contestant on whack-a-troll.

Your call.
