Per Adam Schefter on SportsCenter: Players think Jones should be Out About 2 Weeks

[gcver2ver3]

Well good thing we play Denver and KC....No need to worry beyond that.

Wow, so you think that Dallas will easily win in Denver?...

 

[theogt]

Wow, so you think that Dallas will easily win in Denver?...

Yes..

 

[WarC]

Kyle Orton.

 

[DallasInDC]

He said players in the Cowboys locker room seem to think Jones should be out about two weeks.

Hate the fact that Felix will miss any time, however, if he has to miss 2 weeks now is better time than any...If Barber is healthy, I think wewill be fine against Denver/KC. and that gives him the bye week to fully heal.

 

[CATCH17]

Yes..

I hope but I think its going to be a dog fight for awhile.

They got a lot of things in their favor but none of it really deals with our players vs their players.

This game has the potential to be like the Buffalo game a couple years back.

If both are at 100%, I take Felix over Chris Johnson all day, every day and twice on sundays. Johnson is very good and has slightly better straight line speed, but there isnt a player in the NFL right now as shifty as Felix.

Unfortunately, Felix just can't stay healthy

I wouldnt take Brittle Bones Jones over Chris Johnson if I got paid to do it.

 

[JVita17]

Kyle Orton.

Tony Romo.

I can do the same thing.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I think the NFL needs to step in, because whenever Felix busts off a huge run, he's being ridden to the ground, out of bounds

just push the dude out if he's already on his way out of bounds, no need to hog-tie him on the way

 

[zeroburrito]

doesn't matter. we have 2 easy wins coming up.

 

[newlander]

didn't they already make a movie about this guy with Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce willis? Jeebus............

 

[DBOY3141]

does Chris Johnson avg 10 yds a carry? To insist Chris Johnson is "light years" ahead of Felix Jones is just plain stupid.

You cant say the guy isnt productive.

Has Felix played 16 games? Has Felix rushed for a 1,000 yards?

Compare total yards so far in their careers then tell me who is more valuable to their team.

Until Felix proves it over time, he's over hyped.

 

[Everson24]

If both are at 100%, I take Felix over Chris Johnson all day, every day and twice on sundays. Johnson is very good and has slightly better straight line speed, but there isnt a player in the NFL right now as shifty as Felix.

Agreed. When Felix is healthy he has an uncanny ability to make good tacklers look foolish. Even Tony Dorsett didn't do it at Felix's frequency. Barry Sanders is the only one that comes to my mind that did it more often.

I sure hope he can get healthy and stay healthy because our opponents are going to have to account for him and that will open up the offense even more.

 

[RS12]

Not an every down back.

 

[The30YardSlant]

I wouldnt take Brittle Bones Jones over Chris Johnson if I got paid to do it.

No one ever accused you of being intelligent

 

[CATCH17]

Like I said last night... Felix Jones is just to good to be true.

That is why these silly injuries keep popping up with a guy who was always healthy in college playing in the SEC at that.

ITs unbelievable.

 

[dallascowboyfanboy]

doesn't matter. we have 2 easy wins coming up.

Let's not count our chickens before they hatch. We should consider every upcoming game to be a close one.

 

[Ren]

Until Felix proves it over time, he's over hyped.

Do you close your eyes when he runs or something? seriously fragile yes, over hyped? hell no
When he plays Felix is far better then his hype

 

[JVita17]

No one ever accused you of being intelligent

Compare the two backs stat for stat...

 

[juck]

[Comment From Trent]
Any update on the extent of Felix Jones' injury?
11:14
David Moore: Not yet. He's scheduled for an MRI this morning. Jones told Tashard Choice and others he could have gone back into the game last night, but the Cowboys took a more cautious stance.

 

[CATCH17]

Do you close your eyes when he runs or something? seriously fragile yes, over hyped? hell no

Thats a crazy but true statement. He exceeds his hype.

If he could stay healthy he might set the single game rushing record when Barber isn't playing.
