go to youtube and type in "powerthirst" and watch the video that is 1:22 seconds long. than come back and tell me if that looks better than the 5 hour energy drink the giants take before games. WAR BRACE!

The bottom line for me is that Felix HAS to get into the game MUCH more than he did last year when he was healthy. He's too explosive to keep sitting there on the bench.

Just give Barber 12-15 carries, Felix 10-12 carries a game and Choice 4-8.

Felix has never showed in college or the pros he can handle 15-20 carries a game.

If one gets hot, ride the hot hand.

12-15 would cut down on Barbers carries, and Choice would be getting a lot more than he was last year too.

running back by committee. We need to turn our running game into something that resembles Pittsburgh when they had staley and bettis.

Or better yet JUST like New York.

Brandon Jacobs got 219 carries (13.6 carries per game)
Derrick Ward 182 carries (11.37 carries per game)
Ahmad Bradshaw 67 carries (4 carries per game)

Although I'd probably like to see it like this

Felix Jones - 13 carries per game
Marion Barber - 10 carries per game
Tashard Choice - 7 carries per game

Run the ball between at least 30 times per game.

What we did was actually run 25 times per game.

Felix Jones even being injured no excuse for them giving him the ball what amounts to less than 2 times per game.

Choice got it 5.75 times per game.

Barber got it 14.8 times per game.

28 of our run plays still came from Romo, subtract that...

23.3 rushes per game... barely getting over 20... when we should be closer to 30.

Felix needs to start because he provides that home run threat on every down. Establish him in the passing game and teams start to fear it, and back down.

Would like to see a lot of dual running back downs, where maybe Jones spreads wide.

Barber is being paid starter money and will start. Hopefully we spread the carries around. I'd rather see Felix move around and line up all over the place.

True...

I have always liked Barber, but I felt paying him starter money was a mistake. He is a finisher...

Felix and Choice both need more touches...

Let Choice start, Felix change-up and Barber close.

That's the lineup in my eyes.

They all need 10 touches each but if we are in a blowout lead giving Felix the ball in the 4rth would be a waste imo. We need to get Felix involved early and often, same with Choice.

I agree. Pound them early with Choice. Get Felix the ball in space. Get the lead. And give Barber the rock in the 4th quarter to close the game.

Thats the ticket to the Superbowl. I dont care how much Barber makes. His style is bruising and he wont last very long running like that anyway so you have to protect him.

Start Barber, and give him a series or two. Put in Choice til around the end of the 3rd quarter. Replace with Barber. Sprinkle Felix in throughtout the game.

I want Choice in a bunch, because he's a leader, and we need to have him engaged in the game.

Of course, any injury makes this a moot point. Having three good guys allows you to go on with one down.

Thats 26-35 carries a game for the 3 of them.


Did you forget that our OC is Jason "Tecmo Bowl" Garrett???........He called 8 runs the entire game against Baltimore and you think our 3-headed monster is going to get 26-35 carries a game???


Martz Jr. is going to be throwing the rock all over that new stadium untile Romo is either carted off the field or his arm falls off.

How long did Felix last with his non-bruising style?

So I guess that stat line of Choice carrying the ball 17 times for 90 yds is wrong?

:rolleyes:

I don't care what hes getting payed if he isn't as good we shouldn't start him.

I'd really like to see Felix get us rolling and then let Barber come in and close while sprinkling some Choice in as well. That would really help out our offense a great deal.

Felix Jones needs to assume the role that Julius Jones had in 2007. Why people are claiming he's injury prone is beyond me. There is no reason why he couldn't start.
