Hypothetical question

[playmakers]

Honest opinion and I'm only comparing the two based on durabilty issues but Chris Johnson, if he was here would he get more than 10 carries a game on average? I hate to say it but he would never be the workhorse here. The coaches have always had issues with playing the veteran. Look at Miles Austin, it took 250 yards and 3 tds I believe to bump Crayton. Our team doesn't have the mindset of can I say "go for it." Sometimes and as in Dez Bryant's/Felix Jones's case, you just see the talent and say go out there and we know your going to make mistakes early but in the long run we will benefit. Instead, we move players in at a snails pace. Everyone can see if Feilx got 20 carriers a game and 4 catches he would get on average 130-150 yards per game. Forget the injury factor because look at Chris Johnson. You don't know until you try. If he does get hurt than we got Barbar and Choice. We have that luxury now to see if he can carry the load. opinions

It's obviously an injury concern, because Dez was basically treated as the #2 receiver against Washington in his first game, and after not even playing the entire preseason, whereas we continue to under-utilize Felix when he's the 2nd best weapon we have on offense(have to put Miles at #1 after what he's become.)

Apples and oranges.

Tennessee has a run blocking OL, we don't. Johnson is by far the fastest RB in the league, Felix isn't close to his speed. They have a run first QB and crap for receivers, we don't.

We got a taste for how we will use him and I don't care how it gets the ball. Jones will get around 10 carries and 5 catches a game and that is plenty with the other weapons we have.
