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

[TellerMorrow34]

For what it's worth on Talking Cowboys they acted like the injury wasn't as bad as it's been made out to be and that they don't think that Felix would have been on the sidelines walking around, or gotten back in, or anything if they thought for even a second it was at all a problem.

Yes... Schefter's credibility with me has taken a big hit going to ESPN.

Not because he's been wrong so often. It's just that I felt like his reporting out of NFLN kinda forced him to be a little more accountable than what's required at ESPN.

I don't think some people realize how difficult it is to average 9.37 yards per carry (Felix's career average), even over a small sample size (he has 51 career carries).

In NFL history, a running back has averaged at least 9.3 yards per carry for a GAME with at least 20 carries only 25 times. Only four times has a back done it with at least 25 carries.

Felix's career YPC is more than 3 yards better than any other running back who has had at least 30 carries in his career. And it's more than 2 yards better than what any other running back has averaged in his first two seasons (minimum of 30 carries). Will his average go down? Almost certainly. Then again, after he averaged 8.9 yards per carry last season, who would have thought it would go UP so far this season? He has a higher YPC than any other running back who has carried the ball more than once this season.

And finally, since the start of 2008, Felix leads the league in games with at least three carries and a YPC of at least 6.8. He has six of them despite missing 10 games last season. Heck, he's carried the ball in only eight games total, and he's had a ridiculous YPC in almost all of them.

I hate getting into stats arguments with Adam. It makes me feel dirty. So I ain't gonna do it. Besides, I wouldn't have a dog in this fight to begin with.

If you question Felix' explosiveness just read Adam's post again.................slowly.

Now, if durability is your beef, well I would venture to say it's raised a red flag or two at Valley Ranch, also. Let's just hope for the best and hope we see him out on the field in Denver.

GAC just said he'll be out next week. I'm sure there will be some links coming on this soon being it's getting late in the afternoon.
