Long term what concerns me is

[Chocolate Lab]

Every time you turned around Austin has been nicked up the last couple of years... Especially during camp– or so that's what it felt like.

Yep, the coaches have even said this, several times.

They knew Miles had a ton of talent and they expected him to break out sooner, but every time he started to get going he'd get some kind of nagging injury... Not all of which we the public knew about.

please you are missing the point. Austin has been with the team for a long time now. Clearly long enough to see the talent. Jones is the same type of player but the team is not using him. That is concerning.

The results would have been the same if they'd have started Austin last year, 'eh?

Austin got the chance only because of injury. You guys are acting like he became this great player in the last three weeks and the coaches finally decided he was ready. If it wasn't for the rib injury Austin would likely still be on the bench. Dallas probably loses two or three of the last three games with Austin on the bench.

My second point is that Jones is one of the most dynamic players in the league and he is not getting the ball enough.

I don't think this coaching staff knows how to use talent properly. For the record I posted about Austin and Jones before the pre-season.

It's hard man. Barber is a awesome physical runner and great out of the backfield. He's also our best pass blocking RB. I think Garrett is doing a pretty good job.
