Not sure why Julius is in the game for goal line. Makes no sense.
Hard to tell why he's ever in the game.

Short yardage on the goal line is the best place for Barber.

Radio said MB3 got knocked a little looney on that sideline tackle... Maybe that's why.

I hope that's the reason anyway, because I've seen enough of Julius' toe-dipping for a while.

It seems to vary game to game- one back does good in one game, the other in the next game. So long as one is doing good, we are ok. Now if the O line could just block a little better.......

I agree .. Barber runs harder, gets extra yards even when tackled and doesn't go down on arm tackles.

I have been on the marion barber bandwagon since day one. Don't know why more people haven't criticized Parcells for playing Julius as much as he has. I think everyone still clings on to their #22/#21 comparisons from last year. Bottomline, Barber gets the job done, Julius doesn't.

I dispute that MB is better then a 100% healthy JJ; but he is good. But he is getting a lot of run calls on the draw, which was JJ's bread and butter last year. JJ is hardly getting the draw at all. WHY?

Because when the defense exhales Julius falls over.

Man, youve been anti MB3 for a while. Hes a tough runner and he was clutch, be happy

It really is time for Barber to become the starter. We just simply run the ball better when he is in

My goodness.

Bill Parcells has done it again. Has found another solid NFL back.

This guy could be a Bryan Westbrook with alot better running skills.

:bow: I never understood why people acted like Julius averaged 6 yards per carry last year.

Give me Barber any day over Julius. He hits the hole harder, always falls forward and shows more explosion than JJ has this year. He deserves to get more carries than JJ. I don't know what more people need to see to realize that Barber is the more effective RB.

I'm sorry but I will go with production. I said it a couple of weeks ago and I'll say it again. JJ is supposed to be the guy and Barber looks much better. When/If JJ comes back and looks like he did last year then I say give him the ball. Until then I say we go with the horse that is pulling the sled.
