My case for Chris Johnson

[ctrous25]

Go to Youtube and type in "cj takes it to the house" Wow can you say fast?!

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Johnson is a good looking back. I would certainly be happy if we drafted the guy, however I think Felix Jones is a better all-around back.

I agree. There are several players who I would not object to

I guess posting a link would be asking too much.

Agreed. I think this is a good year for RB's, you can get a good second guy in the 2nd or even 3rd round if we don't want to burn a first on one.

Nobody was near him the last 30 yards. I really can't wait to see what he runs for a 40.
Faster than 4.58 Hos.....:laugh1:

This is weird.

Bah. Everyone is faster than 4.58.

Except for Nick Folk.

We so need to cut him.

I think Johnson is the better back. Johnson is faster, and he has a more explosive first step. Jones is fast, but he doesn't explode with the first step. In the NFL, you need that explosive first step, or you never make it through the hole. Johnson IS a complete back. He can rush, receive, and he just happens to be a pretty good return man to boot.

I think he is the perfect 3rd down back for the Cowboys. He is built in the Eric Metcalf mold.

Felix Jones first step isn't even close to Chris Johnson's. That alone would is enough of a red flag to draft Johnson ahead of Jones. The fact that he is a very good receiver out of the backfield (3rd down equals passing down DING DING DING) makes him a much better option than Felix Jones.

I just hope we get a game breaker......

Quoting Mel Kiper on Felix Jones...


"There isn't a more explosive back in the country."


You may consider yourself "schooled".

Wow. What a ridiculous thing to say. Watch more film.

 

[NextGenBoys]

You cant teach speed.

And we desperately need a new kick returner.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

It's funny how in some cases, speed doesn't matter, with Emmitt and Jerry Rice being the examples of how overrated it is.

Then at other times, we should draft a guy just because he's fast.

Randall Williams was incredibly fast. :

Mel Kiper

McFadden, his own teammate is more explosive.

Enough said.

Maybe it's you, that should watch more film.

Following the train off a cliff isn't a good idea. Maybe you should take a look for yourself and make up your own mind rather than spewing the garbage of another man.

Exactly.


Now we have folks wanting to draft a puny guy with baby hands just because he's fast.

4.57? You think?

I like this kid and would love to get him. Anything but the trade up for McFadden stuff.

Nice try. I've seen EVERY carry of Felix Jones' career.

You could say he can't run between the tackles. You could say he benefitted from the attention defenses paid to DMac. You could say he had trouble catching passes at times.

But to say he isn't explosive is just stupid. Ignorant.
