Felix Jones Impact

[ThreeSportStar80]

I think a lot of people are missing how big of an impact Felix Jones really had on the offense and special teams...

Felix was a game changer anytime he touched the ball, I'm not saying he was ready to be the starting running back but you sure held your breath when he got the ball because it's a pretty good chance a big play was about to happen. This is really unusual for a rookie but I believe Felix is special...

The good news is that he'll be back after the bye-so it's not like his injury is a season ender.

With that being said, I think Choice will perform admirably in his absense(and Austin on ST) the next couple of weeks.

I agree, it's a huge loss-but just saying that it's not like he'll be gone for a long stretch.

Choice showed a lot in the preseason. Of course he won't bring the speed that Jones does, but he will provide a solid option when Barber needs a break.

I have to agree, Felix is doing what we thought Julius Jones was going to do.

In the end, he didn't. BUT, Choice is a good back, he has the skill and talent to back up Barber, fortunatley for us, he isnt he third option because of Felix.

It's never good to have a play maker like Felix on the side lines. But I have really wanted to see Choice play more. I liked him coming out and like what he had to offer in preseason. I just hope that we stick to the run and are able to keep the ball on the ground in the fourth.

I sure am not--miss uncle Felix already

Defenses will not lose any sleep worrying about Choice, he's a decent back but no Felix Jones.

The bright side, in a twisted sense, is that Felix was severely underused as it was. We won't miss him nearly as much if he were as intricate part of this offense as he should be.

Now, we'll clearly still miss him and his ability to take it the distance any play. Just throwing this out there, though.

Point taken and respected.

Short, sporadic, but sweet.

I'm not...I tought through 6 games he's been the offensive MVP, despite limited touches...the one game he didnt touch the ball we lost and the offense was the picture of mediocrity

I like Choice and am glad we drafted him, but he is not Felix Jones and cant do what Jones can do for the team.

I'm going to get slammed for this

I like him better then Barber

 

[true_north]

Jones will be fresh for the December grind, and hopefully we will still be playing in January and February.

I hope that Choice will get some action.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

We would miss him even more if he had actually gotten the number of touches he should have. Miles will do OK returning kicks and Choice will do OK in relief of Barber. We will be fine, but we'll be even better when Uncle Felix comes back.

 

[Hong2221]

i think we should just do what the Titans have been doing with Lendale and Chris last year... slam the rock 40 times a game... then let brad throw a few...

You are not alone on that one.

I guess there is a silver lining to this whole thing.

Exactly, there's a reason Felix Jones was drafted much higher :laugh2:
