I realize Felix Jones looks Like a keeper. But I think Marion Barber could use the breather. He would of been fresher at the end of the game. Choice could be used to soften the defense in the 2nd and 3rd Quarter.. It's a long season and Barber is already beat up..

Tashard choice got hosed by being picked by the cowboys. The only time he will see the field is due to injury or in mop up duty.

Of all the threads that could have been started today, this is the one that I didn't see coming.

He will get some touches in games where we try to control the clock. We hardly ran the ball at all last night.

Bah.

I'm betting this thread would happen before a "We need to play Ware less; Spencer more" thread....

If Felix isn't getting a lot of touches what makes you think Choice should?

If Barber can't handle 19 touches in one game, followed by 22 touches in the next, then we seriously overpaid him with his new contract.

"Romo hasn't even been sacked, and he already has a busted chin and a hurt finger. We need to give Brad Johnson some playing time and give Tony a rest, or he won't last all season."

yeah it was a shame things didn't work out to get Choice in last night but that's going to happen in the closer games like this.

I like Choice as a back, but he was picked for depth.

This isnt college. You play your best players at each position.

The fact is that we score points with Barber on the field. Anyone remember last year how we wouldn't score points in the first and second quarters (when Barber didn't get as much playing time on the field)?

Even if he's not ripping off big runs, he draws attention from defenders which is going to result in points.

Actually, replace the word Ware, with Ellis, and that would be accurate...

Bingo.

I think the coaches were worried about Felix's ability to recognize and pick up JJ's blitz package.

I think FJ will get more touches as season progress and I am drooling at watching FJ run that wheel route and take it to the house because no one will be able to cover or catch him. Naked pitch to FJ hasn't been used either or screen to FJ......

Possibilities...wow.....:D
