Question about our RB rotation...

[JonJon]

Choice will get carries in games later on down the year.

December ( to save MBIII from wearing down) is when we will truly appreciate him

I agree. I know there is a thread on this topic, but I think he will be to us like Faulk is to the Patriots. Also, we can use him as to not sacrifice power in some games while Barber gets some rest. We could have used a player like Choice in the second half against the Giants in the playoffs.

I believe the two will be on the field at the same time more often then not.

If Choice is a decent pass blocker I think he will see a fair bit of time.

Not sure , but I wouldn't be surprised to see them use Jones a lot like Reggie Bush . Maybe in the same backfield as Barber , maybe split him out wide , some trick plays , reverses .

Choice I'd guess will be a little more traditional , but I could also see him in the same backfield as Barber or Jones . He's a good blocker , so I'd imagine they'll figure out a way to utilize that .

As long as Jason Garrett stays creative , there's no reason why all three can't get some touches through the game .

Using Jones like Reggie was one of the first things that crossed my mind. Looking into it further I realized that I don't see too much reseambalance between them. I fear this pick.

While I don't "fear" the pick , I don't see a lot of resemblance between the two either . I just think the two will be utilized in similar ways . Jones is a big play guy , and his big plays aren't going to come off pounding the ball up the middle . That's what we have Barber for . His big plays are going to come pitching the ball outside with a guard pulling with him , screen passes , sending him in motion outside , reverses , etc. . I think Dallas will find a niche for Jones , and find it fairly quickly . What's going to be exciting is to see he and Barber in the backfield together , and watching the defense try to adjust to that while realizing that TO and Witten are on the same field .

You don't. You slip into zone and send the house. If you give up a 1st, so be it, but you make sure you lay wood to Romo. A couple of those hits and he's out. That's what you do there. Basically, just think of Spurriers offense and then you have exactly what you do on the defensive side of the ball.

If Romo had the mobility of Bledsoe, you'd have something there. given the way roughing the passer is called, the house needs to be aware of what kind of wood it's laying,

I don't believe that will effect any DC for one moment. If given the chance, they will hit Romo early and often. They will take every opportunity. If you were a DC, and you had the opportunity to take a good shot, wouldn't you do it? It's really the only thing that makes sense if your a defense playing an open backfield offense. The same kinds of things were said by Skinz fans when they hired Spurrier. In the end, Spurrier had to change his offense because he realized that his QB was not going to last the season. It doesn't matter if Romo can move around or not, the most mobile guy is going to get hammered if he uses this kind of offensive set.

Choice, to be active on gameday is going to have to play special teams.

Has he done that?

Felix will most likely be the KR ao that could make Austin Inactive on some gamedays to leave a spot for Choice to be active. I think we make 5 WR active most of the time, but Felix, if lining up in the slot at times could make that only 4.

It will be interesting to see.
