Think Julius will get his 1000 yards?

I really don't care which one is in there or how many yards they get. BP is using this tandem just right as far as I'm concerned. They're both Cowboys so it's all good.

:hammer:

from what I see, I don't think either back can be a franchise one, the system may be the best way to utilize both back's capabilities, although Julius is capable of more than stumbling through the hole

I even saw one run today where he cut up into the hole, but didn't explode through it. The hole was there, he found it, but he just kind of jogged through it. He got lik 5 yards on the play, but it should of been 10+.


His burst just hasn't been there (on runs) in awhile. even on that screen pass, he did good and got the first, but he left some yards on the field.

his vision has really tailed off, he's running into the back of our Olinemen, instead of finding the best route around them, and he's cutting right into the arms of defenders once he gets past the line

I don't think vision was ever one of his greatest strengths.

Just cuz he broke of some big runs in the past doesn't mean it was cuz he had great vision.


To me, it's his burst. Earlier in the year when he cut into the hole, he EXPLODED through it. It's not happening anymore.

never said he had great vision, just it seems he has none whatsoever now, he used to be able to cut past defenders, and not all just in his big runs, just to get out of the backfield, and make safeties miss in the open field, but now he can't get around his own blockers

No burst. Must be a leg injury - pulled muscle- something.
