Running Back Rotation

[WV Cowboy]

Choice has said he will be "ready to roll", ... when has this kid gotten on the field and not "rolled"?

As near as I can tell, he has carried 114 times as a Cowboy, ... for 572 yds, a 5.0 yd average, and no fumbles.

Romo has said he has great confidence in the kid.

He is solid.

I don't know why some don't recognize it.

I am afraid we are going to lose him and he will have a great career somewhere else.

Personally, if Felix could stay healthy, I'd like to see him be the starter with the other two coming in on 3rd down and late in the game.

Barber's stats show that he was more effective when he was the one doing the spelling of the starter.

Since Felix got injured on plays where it didn't seem he was even hit very hard...except for going down on the turf, make the rotation this way.

Felix 40%
Barber 30%
Choice 30%

In the end....let's just win!

I definately agreed. He's been constantly saying how teams passed up on him and he's using it as motivation. TChoice is special, has the right attitude, and has all of the intangibles to be a great back. He's just looking for the chance to start. :starspin

What would you like to see?

Personally I would like Barber to start the first 2 drives to "set the tone", have Choice play during the 2nd and 3rd quarters, then have Barber come back in to close the game out.

And of course sprinkle Felix in throughout in different situations with 15-20 touches a game.

And this is of course if nobody has a super hot hand .... cause you leave that guy in, in that case.

Anyone else have anything in mind?

For this particular game Choice should get the start and Marion should be a goalline or short yardage back only. Choice should get the lions share of carries (20-25+), and I would like to see Garrett use the short passing game as an extension of the running game. Activate Washington, and use him ONLY if Choice needs a spell and Marion shows ANY signs of injury hobble.

I think Romo will have opportunities for big plays in this game. I think we might see more from the Wildcat formation as well with Choice on the field more often than the previous three games.
