Marion Barber

[Cowboys606]

Has Marion barber lost a step He dont explode through the defense anymore. Can you remember when the last time he ran over somebody. Last three years he was punishing people. I"m Not hating on him or anything just wondering whats the deal is.

I can't tell when his running lanes look like this:

Oddly enough this past game was the first time in the last few weeks where it seemed like he had regained some of that power. I would agree with you concerning the games prior to this one, but it seemed like he made a few runs and hit some guys and was looking like the old barbarian. It seems JC was getting frustrated and when he does that he tends to drop the run and go pass happy in calling plays. I think if he would have kept up with the run we may have seen a different outcome...not saying a win but different. But hey, maybe that is just me.

Well he's still building up strength in the quad but the offensive line didn't do a very good job yesterday.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Didn't he have 4 carries for 27 yards in the 1st quarter? Looked good IMO. He got tackled in the backfield like the rest of the backs did but that's not on the running backs.

 

[Cowboys606]

True no running lanes but past Marion would make his own running lanes. Hb dive up the middle he tends to never take it through the first hole he seems to always wanna take it outside. Iono just my take on it.

We don't run a HB dive up the middle!!!! Are you kidding me? It ALL draws and counters!

I saw three runs that looked like the Barber that got the huge payday. Other than that he has look remarkably ordinary this year. Injuries or he bulked up, something. Not sure, but he is not running with the passion that earned him way more money then he deserves.

I have seen hb dive in the pat three years plenty. but i agree mostly draws and counters

What is wrong with running right up behind Big. Emmitt made a career out of quick hitting strait up the middle run plays. Garrett knows this. Wonder what the problem is? Maybe every single team we play takes that away? or is just not in the playbook?

 

[CATCH17]

You can tell he is still hobbling a lot on that leg.

He gets up sometimes and that leg just stays stiff when he goes off the field.

I hope this short bye after the Raiders game gets him back to 100%.

Felix doesn't look like he explodes either. His kick returns look like he is jogging rather than running full speed.

Because kick returns = rushes.

 

[CATCH17]

He needs more runs between the tackles because defenses have figured out that if hes getting a carry than he is trying to get to the outside.

+ getting that brace off will help too. I dont see how he plays with that thing.

Let's put all the 'JG sucks for passing too much' guys in a jar with the 'we can't run block' guys, shake the jar, and make them fight.

My money's on the 'we can't run block' guys, but only because we can't run block.

A good bet on your part.

I don't fight fair.

Seriously, they cant run block. Must be those dang coaches telling them not to.

 

[CF74]

I'd answer the question but I can't recall the last time Barber got to run the ball.

Seriously the dude is still nursing the quad...

 

[Cowboys606]

If he's Nursing the quad keep em off the field.. Maybe he will explode through the Commanders.
