you have to have 3 running backs, first we all know or at least from what i could see in the playoff game, barber ran out of steam after 1st half, granted the offensive line wasnt blocking,
but since barber cant take full load, you have to have another running back like felix jones now to take load off of him and be another dimension to running, kinda like the jacguars have with their 2 running backs;
next, what if something happened to barber, i dont think felix jones can take the full load, at least not in his first year; so makes sense to have another good backup rb;
then on to what guy was saying about choice, i have heard that choice is player like emmitt smith in regards to playing with heart and fire, something that is sorely needed on this team;
i will take that further by saying this, we need some leaders on this team that can kick butt towards other players when they arent toing the line, or they arent giving their all;
kinda like one big game against the 49ers, and charles haley was hurt, he was on the sidelines following leon lett after he had made a bone headed play, or like in a big playoff game, i think it was the 92 playoff game against 49ers in candlestick park, and our young defenders were falling apart on the sidelines, and haley was saying, let the coaches help us, they are trying to do what is best for us to win;
its kinda like Tom Landry said, once, something like this, leaders are men that have great confidence and control, be in control of the situation, and others will see that and follow, believe in you and win;
then further like chad hennings said, jimmy johnson instilled a swagger in this team, and built confidence in themselves that they could win no matter what, and they belived in jimmy and what he said, they will win, etc,
thats where to me choice comes in, he lays it on the line, as a player, and he will take prisnoners if he has to,, or kick butt when he has too, challenge his teammates, thats what we need on this team;
kinda like a reporter said awhile back, the spurs werent winners, awhile back when they were real young, but when they got a few old veterans, that knew what it took to win, and be champions, and those few veteran players that the spurs acquired, they kicked players butts when they had too, set examples of how you play to win, etc, then the spurs became champions, thats what we need on this team;
i have hope some now, because of what i saw tony romo said something along those lines, he hates to lose, and when another team tells him we beat you because were better than you because you didnt lay it all on the line, etc, then romo said that irks him, like troy aikman, he hated to lose, he expected all of his teammates to work hard and practice hard , thats what is needed to my mind;
you can never have enough leaders, just like harvey martin, randy white, charley waters, said, they believed in Roger Staubach, they knew he would play to win, and he could win the big games, etc in overtime or the final minutes, players will follow leaders that are in control and want it
just my thoughts;
