Felix Jones

[Doomsday]

Felix Jones stinks; he runs tentatively on kickoffs, goes down quickly, doesnt fight for yardage, etc

he is a total bust;
If he doesnt like it, then let him be man enough and do something about it; quit playing around at being a rb;


sometimes you have to call out players;

he needs his you know what kicked for playing poorly

I dont think we are watching the same guy play, cause he is the most elusive back we have. MB3 is the one who isnt making anyone miss and cant see the cut back lanes. He is not cutting it, something has to give.

Lets see what Felix can do when he is actually part of the game plan. Garrett has not been able to utilize Felix, Choice, Bennett etc.... Every other offensive coordinator in the NFL would find roles for these guys.

He wasn't the best receiving back in college.

 

[dadymat]

what do you expect him to do when he only gets 5 or less touches a game?

use the touches he does get to prove he deserves more.....

 

[Doomsday]

use the touches he does get to prove he deserves more.....

What isnt that same standard applied to Marion Barber? What has he done this year to show he deserves 20 carries? That is the problem with this coaching staff.

Barber had over 2000 total yrds and 28 tds coming off the bench in 2 seasons he EARNED the right to more carries....he didnt come in and have a few good runs and get it handed to him....thats the problem with fans...they always want the guy who comes off the bench and shows a little something to get the starting job handed to them

What MB3 did 2 years ago has no bearing on his performance or lack there of this season.

Oh yeah...every offensive coordinator would find a way to give each RB 10-15carries, and get every WR and TE on the roster 6-8-10 catches a game. There's just no freaking doubt about it. I bet any average coordinator would also get all thsoe guys 1-2 tds a week.

Wow a Madden reference, never heard that one before. Bringing out the big guys are you.

MB3 has been banged up and unproductive for about 5 weeks now, any competent offensive coordinator would of found ONE flippin game to get Felix Jones a CHANCE to show case his talents. This guy has been productive with limited action, lets see what he can do when he is actually involved into the flow of the game. I dont see how you think that is asking for something ridiculous, because it isnt. The one game he got almost 10 carries he had almost 100 yards, then the next week hes back to 3 rushes. Genius!

3 of the last 4 games are in domes, that should help.

You can already pencil Felix for 6 yards @ WSH

Jones has been jogging on kick offs for a while.

yeah he looked like he was really crawling along on that 50 yd return that got ko'd by the penalty yesterday...looked painfully slow on that nearly 50 yd TD run too vs Oakland

I love how THAT was holding.

Looked eeriely similar to what happened to Sensy

Sensabaugh was held. No doubt about it. But we lost because we couldn't run block or tackle, not because of the refs.

It was funny listening to Norm after the game...he wanted to take away his long runs when comparing MBIII and FJ.

He was acting like FJ has had opportunities and he needs to do something with it (his words).....but he doesn't accept what he did when he DID do it....he never even mentioned the Raiders game where he had 68 yards on 6 carries...TC had 67 yards on 6 carries and MBIII had like 48 yards on 15 carries or something like that.

Sounds like classic Norm.

Or at least current Norm.

See...this is the reasoning where if we had Adrian Peterson on this team, he'd still be only getting 5 or 6 carries a game.

Like I've always said....it all begins on the o-line and d-line....you take care of the trenches, the yards will pile up and points will come.

Felix was averaging like 10 yards per touch in the beginning of each of hte last 2 years. If that's not enough to earn more touches I don't know what is.

Oh yeah...by the way, he's EARNED the right to go back to what he does best. What he did when BP was here.

Not necessarily a slam on MBIII unless you want to take it that way, which you probably will. He's just a better 3rd down back or late game back. He doesn't have the speed or the moves that Emmitt did when he was losing his speed.

Coaches like to have weapons at their disposal and they like to have them on the field alot....at least good coaches do. TC and JF can do things that MBIII can't everybody knows it. MBIII can or at least used to run over people....we haven't seen too many stiff arms or running over people in I don't know how long and a lack of speed to boot doesn't help at all.
