Something we never saw from Julias in the time he was here.

I think Choice injured his wrist last week, so his role was limited in Week 3.

Ahhh, I didn't know that.

This team is not hitting on all cylinders yet.

...ain't it nice? 3-0 having beaten 3 solid teams and we haven't even come close to playing as good as we're capable.

I swear Choice is going to block at least one punt this year. He gets close every time he comes.

I honestly pity the poor Commanders who are going to be trying to tackle Barber this week. He was pissed, and he didn't get any satisfaction going out there for two stuffed carries the next drive. He knows he contributed to a 14 point possible swing, and it's going to eat at him all week.

I cannot wait to see him out there against Washington with a week's worth of bad intentions weighing on his brain.

After the hurt they put on him at FedEx last year, it's going to be bad.

Garrett did not have a good playcalling game last night. Garrett also should have had Choice in there at the end.

I'm guessing even if healthy the extra carries would go to our #2 RB, you know the guy with 3 td's on like 12 touches.

Barber didn't fumble because he was tired. If you look at the end of the play, he was trying to stay in bounds even as he was being brought down. When he turned his body to stay in bounds he exposed the football to the defender, who made a good play knocking it out. I'm not saying he wasn't tired, I'm just saying that being tired was not the reason for the fumble.

Count me in on the group who wants to see more of Choice. I would like to see him carry for at least 5 to 6 times a game.

Man I sure would like to see Choice get some time late in games like last night to spell Barber... I know "The Barbarian" was a little tired during the drive they started mid 4th quarter... and he was already near 140 yards. Barber of course fumbled near the 10 yard line and looked pretty POd on the sideline after that.

I hope Garrett does not try to completely gas him every game with 30 carries per... I know he might not feel the same way, and I know he can take it because he is a physical beast, but I just think it would have been a perfect opportunity to play a fresh legged Tashard Choice, who I think has a pretty passionate bit of running ability himself.

This will be one special season if Dallas can rush like that with regularity. What a plethora of offensive weapons!!!

Barber did had 28 carries in this game and in the previous two games did not top 20 carries, so I would not worry about the 30 carries per game.

Like it or not Barber is the starting RB and Dallas evidently does not plan on a set number of carries for each RB. Barber will get the load and will come out for breathers but he is our starting tailback.
