I really want to see MBIII get more carries

Let's face it, the guy runs harder everytime he touches it than just about any back in football. He hits the hole immediatly, doesnt dance and never loses yards. I like Julius and what he's done, but Barber is 5th in the league in runs of 10+ yards and really seems to have more of a determination to run hard than Jones.

I like Barber too, but Parcells knows him some football. How many second stringers look awesome in spot duty? Hambrick *cough*

He got 14 carries to JJones' 15, what more can you ask?

You get to run harder when you have fresher legs...

man this is gonna be a "Chicken vs Egg" debate for years.

Well at least were not squabbling over crappy running backs.

Barber is a beast, no doubt. But credit the coaches for giving him carries at down & distances that best suit his talents. He hits the hole hard on goalline runs and gets a lot of draws on third & long. From the stands today, it was clear that he converted at least two third downs when the team was prepared to punt (i.e. not prepared to pass). I still like JJ on first and second downs because he's more elusive. It's a blessing to have both.
