If we would use Felix Jones like the Eagles use Brian Westbrook.

I don't expect him to have the same kind of impact that Westbrook has on the Eagles right away because he is a rookie, but it seems ridiculous to me that someone that is such an electric threat to score on every play only got three offensive touches last night.

Even if he's only going to be a decoy, the Boy Wonder needs to find a way to get Felix on the field more than he is right now.
 
I'm with you here, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that he's still a rookie and still learning the playbook. I bet by the middle of the season, he'll be all over the field. Plus, he's still learning his blocking assignments and blitz pickups. It's all part of the process.

He's going to be a beast though.
 
Its gonna be sweet.

But hell he will be worth his first round draft status as long as he keeps returning kicks like that.
 
I'm waiting to see Felix in the slot, boy would I love to see he, Mile Austin and TO lined up in a triplet formation. SPEED.

but what about our vaunted legit #2 who chimed in with a whole 2 catches for 23 yards in a big game.... :rolleyes:

He has nice hands and runs nice routes most of the time but he is not a speedster even in his own imagination.
 
We've only seen the tip of the iceberg regarding Felix Jones.

Once he's fully acclimated to the offense and the NFL, watch out.

Darn that Tony Romo for throwing so many passes to Terrell Owens, Jason Witten and Marion Barber when he should be throwing more to Patrick Crayton!

Nope.

We are too busy using Marion Barber, Terrell Owens and Jason Witten in a somewhat similar fashion.

I was thinking the same thing while watching the game. Felix has been a spark plug in his first two games as a Cowboy. I think we could see more of Felix in the next couple of weeks. Why wait till the half way point, ya know?

This post is going to look very silly the first time TO or Witten catch less than 50 yards.
 
Westbrook is used that way primarily because the Eagles have no other weapons. We've got at least three other guys that deserve to get just as many touches as he does.
 
I want to see us go 4 wides with Felix then motion him out as the 5th wr. A lb would have to cover him. No way a lb could cover him.
 
I think we will see Jones motioned out more often, trying to get him 1 on 1 with a backer, just like the Iggles do with Westy.
