Opponents might have to keep up with Joneses on kick returns

Wade Phillips would rather not put Felix Jones or Adam "Pacman" Jones in the line of fire as kickoff returners, but the Cowboys' options are limited.


Miles Austin is out for at least a couple regular season games. Phillips doesn't expect Isaiah Stanback back for the opener, and there's a chance the second-year player will spend the season on injured reserve.


So the coaches are considering using Felix or Pacman, who are the team's most dynamic return men, on kick returns.


"We've got to consider it now," Phillips said. "It's a different set of circumstances."

man, this could be dangerous.....good and bad

Mike Jenkins is an option as well. He was a pretty good kick return man in college.

If we lose Felix Jones to injury on an *****' kickoff return, cowboys2233 is not going to be a happy man. That was the perfect role for Stanback. He is big, he is fast, if he gets injured, who the F cares?

They should be returning kicks - that's part of the reason we grabbed them - (I thought). If you're afraid of gettin' hurt - stay in the locker room.

nothing good comes from stanglass when he's healthy. but something good will come now that he's not. says a lot about him as a football player.

Ahh, yeah, you're right BUT he's hurt...

Once Wade sees how great Felix is at returning kicks maybe then he will realize what a horrible coach he is for not making this decision from the beginning.:bang2:

I know, but he's willing to give it a go. And if he can't, it should be anybody but Felix or Pacman. Both may prove to be extremely valuable in other capacities.

Pacman on punt returns, fine. But this isn't the SEC and Felix needs to be the complement to MBIII.

You say it as though its a bad idea that you have been strongly opposed to the whole time.
