ok, i must admit, i was awed by how Terrell seemed to run down Felix on Felix's TD run last night but after watching it again that play was kinda blown out of proportion. if you rewatch the play, felix makes a stutter followed by a quick cut right as TO starts running with felix, making felix slow down and letting TO catch up.

rewatch and judge for youself.

TO is hella fast but i think many exaggerated how that play acutally went down.

I already knew that Owens was (and still is) ridiculously fast. This play only confirmed that Felix Jones has ridiculous wheels too.

Julius who? :laugh2:

Peprah had a clear shot at Jones in the open field and didn't get within 5 yards of him.

Troy Hambrick must have bequeathed to Felix his dookie stick.

+1, TO accelerated ridiculously fast. he was at top speed by his 2 step it seemed, then felix was able run stride for stride with TO which is amazing. but the vision, quick cuts to avoid would be tacklers is a nice change from what JJ was doing last year. on that same play JJ would have been tackled by woodson.

You really see TO's speed when he catches a deep ball and then separates from cornerbacks and safeties.

Absolutely. It was his ability to see Woodson that has me most excited. Combines can give you an idea of a guy's speed and explosiveness, but only playing time can tell you if a guy has the vision and instincts to truly be great. His cut to the outside was the stuff of great running backs -- what peripheral vision!

I agree with whoever it was that said it would have been hilarious to see Owens try to outlean Felix at the goal line.

OMG!! I had not heard that, but you are right. That would have been absolutely hilarious! Of course Owens would have been accused of trying to grab the spotlight but, still, that would be funny.

what was Felix doing on that celebration, that appeared to be a lights out move of some kind.....Does anyone have any other shots of that, I am curious to see what it was he was doing for the crowd?

you can't teach those moves. that move at 06 seconds on # 26 is something else. On the replay at 29 sec you can see it better. I gotta give props to Jerry for drafting this guy. Great job Mr. Jones.

I was more impressed on the Romo int when T.O. got blocked out and knocked down and still got up and made the tackle 50 yards down field
