If we trade him, we've got something planned for draft day. And coming out of a place like SD, I wouldn't put it past Wade to feel the need for a dominate full-time back to carry the load. Granted they did run 2 backs there, but anyone saying LT wasn't the MAIN guy has lost their mind and all football sense. You don't coach on the same team with a guy like LT playing and not have that rub off on ya, whether you were on the defensive side or not. For all the years he was there he looked across that line and saw an offense entirely anchored by one guy,..a premier running back. You can't tell me the notion to try 'n copy that hasn't crossed his mind, especially with the rich tradition of past running backs on the new team he's coming to. I wouldn't even want him as our coach if it didn't at least once. That's like Jerry knowing first hand what it was like to have the triplets and do damn little to nothing to try 'n replace those three the second they left us. Which I think most of us can agree, that was when Jerry started slipping in most of our minds. 9 years to find an Aikman replacement?? More to bring in TO! Still haven't found a true Emmitt replacement!!!! Well things are changing, Romo has arrived, TO is ready to terrorize ala Irvin, and now all we need is a real every down RB, which I think Jerry is starting to wise up to. And in regards to the last, Barber and Jones are not that, nor do the 2 of them together come even close to making that. Parcells is gone and it's hightime we start scratching that off the wall way of thinking from our brains. I'd take an Emmitt version2/TonyD version3 over a 1-2 Barber/Jones punch any given day of my lifetime, and so would most every true freaking Cowboy fan out there! Stop being nice, JuJo aint reading, his feelings wont' get hurt. And even if he did, who freaking cares because he's not Emmitt or TonyD and I don't freaking care if his feelings get hurt - either put up or get out, we don't have decades to waste, we're the Dallas Cowboys, we're AMERICA'S TEAM! Julius Jones has not proved he's first rate and we've given him more than enough opportunity to prove otherwise. So unless Barber can be that guy, which is doubtful at this point since he couldn't even unseat JJ for #1, then we have no choice but to look else where for what deep down we all know we need.
It's our final piece on offense, for without a back that can literally take over games and dominate, we're nothing more than an offense that's dictated by the other teams defense. I'm tired of going into the second halves of games not knowing which running back is going to beable to perform and take over. When we were at our best it was when Emmitt ruled the gridiron for the final 15 minutes of a game. There was no speculation after halftime, #22 was coming and you were gonna have to stop him to stop us, period! Enough with the wondering of whose in the "groove", we should have that one guy that's so good that we don't have to wonder anymore. Like I said, we're the Dallas Cowboys, not the punk-biotch owners of second rate running backs.. or at least we shouldn't be, though regrettably at the moment we are. I say it's time to fix this and at whatever the cost!
