is Felix Jones a bust? When u need him, he runs soft!

[CATCH17]

Chris Johnson would get 5 carries a game here in Dallas so quit crying about it.

 

[chuffly]

And Steven Jackson...and Randy Moss and.....

This is shocking. You mean to tell me there are teams that don't always take the player on the board who ends up being the best player?

 

[dbair1967]

Felix Jones was a number one draft choice, but he is running tentatively when on kickoffs and in the running game.

So, is he a bust, only wanting to play hard when he is fully healthy?

stupid post of the day

 

[Real1st]

We passed on Chris Johnson fellas, let that sink in for a while.

We could have an elite back we all have been hopping for since 22...

Sigh...

he'd get plenty of carriers...he'd also get stoned over and over just like the rest of our RB's

this is a lousy run blocking OL...too many people cry like babies because we dont run more, but plenty of us have been saying all along that they are mediocre at it...they can rip off some big gains here and there, but they cant string together 4-5-6 yard runs on a week to week basis to save their life

You can keep Chris Johnson, give me the Titans OL

[jumanji]

he's nothing like he was his rookie year

 

[28 Joker]

They would have to be stupid or suicidal to cater to a player as injury prone as felix.

That is why you have Choice. He could run in that scheme, too.

Felix got hurt after a long run against the Panthers.

It happens. Running backs get hurt.

You get him well and put him back in and move on.

Felix Jones can carry the football 20 times a game, imo.

He's a young player, and it would be stupid to give up on him and not tailor the offensive line to his strength.

Dallas tried to get him the ball some today, but giving Felix 3 carries per game has been stupid.

yeah but felix keeps running tentatively on special teams and on some runs

Felix Jones you stink!

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

Just keeping running sweeps with him and have your o-line block no one.

 

[This is Our Year]

I still don't think we know what Felix will be, we don't use him all that often. Heck if we had Chris Johnson and he played as much as Felix does for us who knows what he would be either.

disagree, if you have watched felix on kickoffs, felix is running tentatively,
he is late to hit the hole on kickoffs, etc

 

[TheDoctor]

It's true that Felix has become quite tentative after his injury, but when you're only called in for 6 carries you're not getting much of an opportunity to make big plays.

 

[newlander]

he's got nothing right now. I really feel sorry for Choice: he's twice the back and gets nothing because he was a fourth round pick: typical BS. Makes me wish Tuna was back for at least a little while. He'd play the best option: not the highest pick.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Lord, pls. let the Cowboys showecase Jones from now on as possible trade bait with Seattle. They desperately need a runner and we might be able to get a high draft choice or cherry pick one of their players for a position we need.

Just showcase Felix and pray he doesn't get injured. Again.

So now it's his Oline. Brilliant.

Forsett is pretty good if they just give him the ball instead of Jones.

He broke that kickoff return in the second half but it was negated by a holding penalty. The Giants were stacking the line of scrimmage all day and doing run blitzes. None of the backs got any kind of running room all day. Plus whenever he gets in there you know the defenses are keying on him.

I do not think he is a bust, the guy is only getting 6 rushing attempts per game and then what 4 other times for kickoffs? What is he suppose to do? The more touches he gets then the more big plays he will be able to create. Right now he is not being used properly or enough. JG is not doing a very good job of using him.
