Sorry MB III

[dargonking999]

True, but last year we didn't have anyone else to hand the ball to. That's why Parcells went out and drafted a guy like Barber, who could take some of the load and not force Julius into 30+ carry games. I think JJ will get his 20 or so, but I don't think he's going to see 30 carries any time soon.

But being as this is a divsion game on the road, agianst an inspired team, the more experinced player will get thebulk of carries, remeber JJ has been under the primelight4 times now in his career and has 3 100+ yard games, and even won the game on the road aginst a tough oppenet last year. JJ knows how ot get it done, not downing Barber, but as far as experince and primetime, JJ has it over Barber, which is why i think he'll get more carries

I can see MBIII getting one series per half and a lot of third down work. Julius will get most of the rest of the work with Tyson Thompson coming in and getting a few reps in relief after Julius rips off a big run.

I think MBIII is going to be the 3rd down back and play at least one series in each half. He could have anywhere from 4-5 carries up to 15 or 20. If he's getting it done, BP will call his number.

It might take JJ awhile to get the conditioning back in his legs after the high ankle sprain. This is different than last year because his injury was to his shoulder blade and his legs were fine.

I expect Barber and JJ will split the carries and TT will get thrown a few too.

If Julius screws up any blocking assignments while shaking off rust, expect a whole lot more of MB3.

I don't think that will be the case. I have the feeling we will see Barber more than JJ, in this upcoming game.

If Julius screws up any blocking assignments while shaking off rust, expect a whole lot more of MB3.

And why would we expect him to do that? He didn't blow many as a rookie coming in midway through the season, why would anyone expect him to start now after missing 4 games?

well according to Parcells in his press conferences he said people should get used to seeing all 3 backs in games. Unlike last year when Julius came back we really didn't have any options at that position. Boy its sure feels nice to have that luxury now.
