How many times has he pulled us through ?

Yeah, too many people will say Tony, and I do not blame them.

But MB....he is there...always...tough runner..great plays

I agree in part, however, I don't know that I could give a guy the team MVP for getting most of his TD's from within the 10 yard line. Other guys had to perform to get them down that close.

But yes, he is a VERY tough runner down by the goal line.

if you could only have been in my living room tonight when he scored those two touchdowns tonight.. we would have been doing some serious high fiving!

i got up and walked to the kitchen like a madman screaming!!!

my wife and kids were looking at daddy funny.:) they don't fully understand the passion that a diehard cowboy fan has.

Didnt Emmitt get ALOT of TD's from the 1 yard line... per Irvin's commentary :D;)

Barber has how many TD's now? 15 total?

Barber is a very violent runner which is why teams fear him more. He runs with a passion.

I just wish we could see more from Julius. I want him to do good.

Barber= Mariano Rivera
He's our closer and a damn good one at that.

Totally different case. Emmitt also had some from over 60 yards out.

I've seen Emmitt play....Barber is no Emmitt.

I agree there arent many Emmitts... and I am not saying MBII is emmitt like but we dont know what MBIII would be like if he was the featured back... he could probably break some big ones

The only problem is we dont know how he would be getting 20+ carries a game.

The guy even split carries in college w. Maroney.

I love our duo as is - I said before though I am leaning on the MBIII bandwagon as oppose to my recent defense of JJ.

Whatever works though makes me happy. If we control the clock and close games out with it thats fine by me.

That sounds REMARKEDLY just like what was said in T-Ham's behalf.

I agree. i love Barber, but he's not in the class of the NFL'S alltime leading rusher. The only player today that can say that is LT.

Just because we dont know doesnt mean he cant be REAL productive.

I am all for finding out.

After seeing BP personally going up and telling MBIII how good of a job he did I wouldnt be surprised if we find out REAL soon.

Philly has problems against the run and I have a feeling we will see plenty of JJ & MBIII.
