Right now we really only have Austin as a dynamic playmaker out there in the regular base offense and 3rd down offense. It is making the defenses job too easy. Double Austin, keep an eye on Witten and blitz the hell out of Romo and the Cowboys can't do anything.
If Felix is in there the blitzers will have to worry more about a draw to Felix. They won't want to go into unbalanced fronts. They'll really have to worry alot about Felix sneaking out into the flat and getting a 1-on-1 situation with a LB.
In the base defense, it now becomes much harder to double Austin when the safeties have to worry about Felix and the LBs will hesitate for a second before dropping back.
I think Jason Garrett is the only OC in the league who would use Felix this little - a guy who averages 8 ypc in the NFL? Garrett really overthinks things some times. I think at times he is trying to recreate our 1990s offense with Barber playing the Emmitt role - the problem is that Barber isn't Emmitt and our OL can't pick up the blitz reliably. Someone from the outside needs to come in and have a talk with him.
