Garrett Saving Choice for December Run?

[Coast2Coast27]

I was thinking about this today, I m asking myself why isn't Jason Garrett using choice at all the past few weeks. I mean barely at all. Then I figured it's because he's saving him for december. And why not when you got two very capable backs in barber and Jones. I think Choice get's some quality carries against the Giants and the rest of the team's we play the last five weeks of the season. He will have some fresh leg's and be ready to go.

 

[Monster Heel]

Nope.

 

[Manster54]

You don't "unleash" a 3rd stringer.
Don't get me wrong; I love everything about Choice.
Barber & Jones are healthy so Choice's touches decreased.

Uhmmm no.

Unfortunately, Red has chose to shorten the RB rotation to two... Don't expect any drastic change unless one of the top two get hurt.

No, Garrett trying to prioritize. Ahem, GM said last week he wanted to see Felix get more touches.

so sick of unleadsh threads

What a coincidence, so did the owner and head coach.

Personally, I think Garrett got caught up in the hoopla over Dallas having 3 pretty decent RBs and the idea that we need to get all 3 involved...that's a load of crap.

If you have a horse, you ride him...it's hard to make a good running back share time with one back, much less trying to get all 3 involved. What happens is you start slotting them into personel packages and certain plays...next thing you know you don't have a single back getting into a groove or rhythm.

I love Choice...I really do...but honestly, I think we need to hand MBIII the rock at least 20 times per game if he's healthy...we need to grind on other teams and bring Felix in for another 10+ carries or touches of some sort for the big play ability.

Choice needs to ride the pine and be ready to replace either guy if injured or underperforming. If you think he's better than MBIII, then sit MBIII and give Choice the rock 15+ times.

Just stop trying to be cute and get all 3 guys carries...pick and guy and run the plays he runs well, and let the OL get in a groove. The RB and OL need to have a chemistry just like other OLmen have to have chemistry with each other.

I would hate it, but I have a feeling Choice will not be here past his original contract. He will probably leave for some other team and end up being one of the best RB's in the league. Then we'd have to rue the day we let him go.

Correct.

This worries me too. When we drafted him, people were scratching their heads. Now that we see what he can do, we realize what a great pick that was. Unfortunately, so does the rest of the league.

Yes, from some of the hushed hallways of Valley Ranch I have heard secret whispers of both Choice and Kitna being held back for this final run, at which point the hounds will be released.

Gotta laugh to keep from..

Not using Choice over Barber is the single largest failure of this offense since bringing in Vinny Testaverde...

Norm hinted as much also.

Wasn't Choice our primary back during December last year due to Jones and Barber being injured? Not sure if I see any benefit from unleashing him in December when it didn't help us out last year.

Did his touches ever increase when they weren't healthy?

Choice doesn't get carries cause of the man calling the plays, not because of the health of those "in front" of him.

And how.

 

[jobberone]

I'd like to unleash something. When I think of it I'll tell you but it won't be pretty for some.
