Thanks for the information.

 

[dargonking999]

I like the fact we had the most rushing TD's

I would like to see more receptions from our RBs. That means Jones must go. Maybe not this season, but next.

 

[theogt]

So we ranked about middle of the pack in the NFC in terms of YPC. Even still, I'd be hard pressed to not take McAllister/Bush and Alexander/Morris over our combo.

No kidding.

Or over a Peterson/Taylor soon to be tandem...

Jackson/Davis looks pretty good also with the 102 Receptions 896 Yards 4 TD.

Yeah, but they are listed ahead of our tandem (#6 compared to us being #7)...

Theogt was talking about tandems ranked below ours who'd he take over our's, too....

But yeah, you are correct in your point about Jackson/Davis being pretty damn good.

but at the same time

i'd take our combo over the SKins combo, as well as the Falcons combo.


and without Barber, that Barber/Jacobs combo, is kind of useless now

 

[theogt]

Nice catch (no pun intended). So, I guess as far as tandems go, I wouldn't rank us in the top 10 in even just the NFC.

I was just spinning off my previous comment about wanting more receptions. I would be willing to take less overall rushing yards and even less ypc if we could get a dramatic increase in the piss poor 32 receptions 338 yards showing from last season. Jackson and Davis almost tripled our recieving production.

then you're not looking hard enough

I don't see ten teams that are better than our rushing attack

I don't think I'd take our combo over the Skins combo. When healthy, Portis is a good starting RB and Betts proved last season he can do well in a starter's role.

Jones has been average at best as a starter and Barber hasn't proven to be a starter.

Falcons? Only because Dunn is getting up there and looked sort of washed up last year. Norwood, however, looked impressive.

See there's the problem, when healthy, Portis has not shown anywhere near the same portis from Denver, and has constantly gotten injured. I wouldn't take him, if the skins paid me.

And i think Bettis hasn't really shown anything. Kind of like Barber in 2005 when JJ got hurt. A few games here doesn't mean he can do the same as the starter.

I don't know if I would want to sacrafice less y.p.c. for that though.... our running game struggled at times (especially down the stretch).

And since apparently that is the cause of Romo struggling down the stretch - or so I am told - then I am not sure I want to risk that.

But yeah, our backs need to factor more into the running game than they currently do.

our rushing game became a non factor, because of the defense. When the defense is steadily letting teams control the clock, and score. You don't have alot of time to run the ball.

Even if Portis hasn't been the same Portis as he was in Denver...he's still better than our starting RB....

And Betts got 9 starts last season.

We can "hail" Romo as a starter based on 10 games but can't do the same for Betts who started 9 games. Where's the official cut-off, just so I know?

Double standard.

Dude, he had like 3300 total yards in 2004 and 2005.

I haven't hailed anyone.

So don't compile my opinion into others, and then use that as a basis to knock down my post.
