Julius

[alancdc]

How about JJ on that screen play driving to the goal line. That is the difference in a ball at the 5, and the 1" line. I still think he doesn't have great vision, he seemed to miss some holes yesterday, but that was a great ,I will not be stopped desire, play. Good to see that from him. I do wish he could break an ankle tackle from time to time, but he had a very nice second half.

I thought they should have gave him the carry after that for the TD, instead of MB3.

Julius did all the work on the drive, gets them down to the 1, and MB3 gets the gimme touchdown. :bang2:

 

[Portland Fanatic]

I agree...in the cases where JJ works hard to get it down the field he should be rewarded with the TD carry...

Another thing I want to see is MBIII getting more carries. I'd love to see him getting 10-12 a game...not six. He makes plays...I love the one two punch with these two.

That seems to be the theme in the NFL now. Minus LT, LJ, and a healthy Alexander. Tiki gets no TD credit, its a shame

Foolishness. You give the football to the player who has shown he can power it in at the goalline all season long and that is Barber.

If you start coaching and playcalling to make people feel better, then you won't win much. There are no token touchdowns and if Jones wanted it bad enough he would have scored to begin with.

this is the last year Julius will be the feature back in Dallas IMHO. He should be the change of pace back...not the feature back. Someone like TJ Duckett might be on his way to town.

 

[Doomsday101]

As long as both backs are getting the job done and putting the ball in the endzone I really don't have a problem with Barber getting the goal line carries. Anyone who watched the game knows Jones was a big part of the scoring drives. I guess if your into fantasy football it makes a differance but to me the TD's this team puts up is all that matters.

Exactly. Jones can't be trusted to power his way in. Not yet anyway.
This thing is working, don't break it.

I started MBIII yesterday. So I doubled my pleasure with a Dallas victory and a fantasy victory. :laugh2:

I slow motioned that play and the initial contact was made on Jones at about the 7 yd line, and he drove it down inside the 1, ... great finish by Julius.

But I agree, give the ball to whoever you think has the best chance of scoring even if the blocking blows up.

Let me make sure I understand you... You want to take one of the top 10 leading rushers in the NFL (JJ) and replace him with Duckett? Any particular reason why? Not a Notre Dame fan or somethng like that? JJ has been awesome this year!

Sorry not buying that at all. I don't think Jones has to worry about losing the starting job he is doing just what the Cowboys want same with Barber.

 

[MONT17]

Fantasy player alert!!! MB3 and JUJO make hard for Fantasy players to find value in the platoon of what players do best!!!

I don't play it so I just want the 6 points no matter who scores it. None the less Barber was a big help to you yesterday

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

I would not be shocked AT ALL if the Cowboys bring someone else in next year to compete for the starting job. Barber is not an every down back...and Julius Jones is not the kind of feature back Parcells needs to play the way he wants to play. Just a hunch...this is only his 3rd year in the league and he already looks like he lost the burst he had his 1st year. At first I thought it was coaching...but as I watch him closely...it is apparent to me that the strain, wear, tear, and gring of being the feature back in Dallas for Parcells is to much for him

 

[smarta5150]

Please disregard that TJ Ducket post.

Its not gonna happen.

No offense, but anyone with half a brain knows this.

We clearly are not watching the same RB. Jones 9th in rushing despite the fact he is not being asked to carry the entire load.

WHAT? Are you high? These two work very well together. These two are tops in running averages and you say they will bring in Duckett? Just like Eddie George? Anthony Thomas, etc... Your high.

Disregard the dude, he clearly just learned what football is. Duckett? Of all the players who might be taking Julius spot and he chose Duckett.
