I love Barber!!!! Man, I hope he comes back to the Barbarian form that we all know! He just wasn't right last year.


It wasn't like he didn't have his beastly moments last year.

For as banged up as he was I thought he did a solid job.

Hes one of the best all around backs in the league too. Definetely a 3 down back.

3 down backs dont exist anymore. If they do their career peaks for about 4-5 years then they wear down. Guys like LT and Larry Johnson are feeling it, and Adrian Peterson will in a few years.

We're better off than most teams with three capable backs 22, 24, and 26 years old each.

To think some people want to wait until the 4th quarter to put MB in.

But I totally agree with playing at least two of the RBs. I'd play all three with the appropriate number of carries for each.

i say either start barber in 1st or 2nd quarter, and let barber most definitely be the finisher in the 4th quarter.

im not sure whom should start, but i want all 3 to get time running the football, the more you are successful running with 3 backs, then opposing teams have to spend that much time on the practice field, taking away from other things they could cover on the practice field with your team

if the patriots, the giants can run with 3 backs, then we should be able too.

I have never understood why the Cowboys don't bring in the HOF'ers to help guide and teach this team. Why WOULDN'T you want Randy White, Staubach, Dorsett, Irvin, etc, coach up the young guys and give them their experience?

As for Barber... Yeah, he's great as a closer... but he showed himself to be human last year. Very average stats. But with Felix and Choice as well, I think he'll be back to the role that got him his nickname.

I think you'll see more MB than TC with Felix getting the majority of the 'other' RB snaps. Don't forget that injuries often take their toal.
