Felix Jones - should we use him more???

[gazjor1]

We knew this guy would be good but cmon??!!!

This man could be the one to take us all the way - by that i dont mean we stick him in on every down, but he scares us with his talent - so how does the opposition feel.

I kinda think of him as our Hester. Stick him back on returns and use sparring ly on offense as a distraction in some plays if he doesnt even toucj the ball he would cause mayhem

 

[Hostile]

Sadly he isn't Rashard Mendenhall. Or so I've been told.

 

[Doomsday]

They have to get him on the field more he is way too explosive to be on the bench all game. Part of me is wondering if they are trying to make sure he doesnt hit the rookie wall and is fresh going down the stretch.

Yes!!

 

[CATCH17]

They will start working him in more and more.

I just think we were in a position all night to not risk a rookie mistake.

As the season goes he will be more involved in the offense. For now though we'll just keep feeding our Pro Bowl RB.

How about Barber scoring on the wheel route last night?

 

[kevwun]

I think he'll get worked more in to the game plan as the season goes along, especially the passing game.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Yes!!

+1 :starspin

 

[Woods]

I hope we use Felix on some screen passes and even in the slot.

Anytime he gets the ball, Felix can break it all the way.

That's 2 TDs for Felix in 2 consecutive games! Not bad at all!

 

[Real1st]

Felix needs to get some screen passes.

We need to use him like Westbrook

 

[Nightman]

There is only ONE football. We have too many weapons!!!!!

 

[newlander]

HERE HERE! As others have said, he'll get more action. Garrett must be like a kid in a candy store. Felix is a blitz killer (perfect for iggles and gspots) plus a natural at kick returns: best I've seen in Dallas since.........Kevin Williams probably. The wheel route was discussed all week: I suggested MB3 would also run some simple routes in the flat and hook type routes where the blitzing LB's create a void. Garrett did both to perfection: Romo was barely TOUCHED. We ice the game on the last one if Romo doesn't overthrow him. He'll practice that throw HUNDREDS OF TIMES before we play the igles or gspots because it's perfect everytime against their blitzes............love it!!

 

[landryscorner]

I can see Felix the Cat being really good on screen plays, and pitches get his speed going and i say he will have more production, still Jerry and Crew did a magnificent job in the Draft, probably one of our better years in the draft, good job

 

[DallasEast]

We knew this guy would be good but cmon??!!!

"We?"

You weren't around here during the draft, were you?

I think that you'll see Garrett gradually inserting Felix Jones into the offense more and more as the season goes on. As long as we do not get into any more slugfests like last night, Jones is probably being brought along at a very good pace right now.

what a wonderful problem to have.

I think so... That and being sure he doesn't make a rookie protection mistake against a complex Jim Johnson D and get Romo killed.

But he'll play more as the year goes on. You know we're going to get him some screen passes and run some wheel routes like Barber did. Wade's only compared him to Thurman Thomas and Marshall Faulk, after all.

But he is such a nice, humble, and overall likable kid in addition to being talented... It's extra fun to root for a rookie like that.

 

[Chinfu]

Go ahead and throw him on punt returns, not sure Pac is ready just yet and Felix is too good to not be used as much as possible. He has the juice that I haven't seen in Dallas in quite some time.

I think as Jones blocking ability inproves he will see more action.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

I'm still waiting for these exotic plays that is supposed to get him open and use his speed and such.

We may not need "exotic" plays for him.

Just get him the ball any way you can.

Felix Jones = Monster

I know he was really good on them in Tenn, but he has yet to impress me with one here. I would like to see Felix back there. He's got the shiftiness to succeed as a punt returner.
