And I've watched the replay of the second guy several times, and I still can't figure out how he didn't just not get a hand on Felix, he never even got within arm's length of him.
Sick.

It's like watching a UFO.

Heck.....I'd like to pound Choice off tackle 3 to 5 times a game.......but if Wade doesnt back off of MBIII's 28 per game....he might have no choice....

but i guess that is going the wrong way.....in carries per game.....

Maybe Jerry screwed up this draft.......Bennett, Felix, Choice.....added too many weapons.....

Pretty soon Crayton is gonna write a book....."Please Romo Just throw me the damn ball":p:

Fixed it for ya. With Barber, Felix, Witten, TO and the emergence of Bennett and Miles, Crayton will be lucky to get 20 catches this year.

I'm really not worried about how they use them, the thing i enjoy about it is that if one of them gets injured we wont be in a hole.

How ironic is it that these guys are so damn good, but they've spent their entire careers splitting carries -- and probably will for a long time?

The best one-two punch combination in the league today. One without the other can't do it alone, we need the combo and the coaches know it..

I don't care how they do it but they can't keep giving Barber 28 carries a game. He should have never been in the game on the series that he fumbled on, and then to beat that, they put him back in on the next one.

It was 27-9 when he fumbled. It was nice to put him back in after to kind of redeem himself but also stupid!

Yea MB3 is going to be dead by the end of the year if they continue to run him 25+ times.

I don't think Dallas needs a set number for each back I think you continue to start Barber and let the flow of the game dictate when we bring in Felix, as well as having both on the field at the same time in certain situations.

Maybe I think around 18-23 is good for MB3.

I think that is about what he will end up on avg wise this season is between 18 to 23 but of course he will get more carries in some games and less in others. I don't think every week will be like the Packers game but I do think there will be games in which he will get it 25 times. Right now after 3 games he is avg 22 carries a game
