I posted this awhile back so Hostile could get it to the cowboys, due to felix jones having hamstring issues.

If you remember emmitt smith had hamstring issues, and was considering retiring early till he got a special trainer to stretch his hamstings etc, just like the special trainer zach thomas has to keep his body limber and active for playing as long as he has played now.

So, should zach contact felix and recommend his trainer to felix jones or the cowboys get a special trainer for felix. Maybe someone can get this to felix and he checks out getting a special trainer, before he stretches his hamsting again.

I remember reading where felix said that all during college and high school he never had hamstring issues. So, seems like to me, he needs to get a specialist to keep from hurting his hamstrings.

Just an ideal what do you think zoners, maybe Hostile or DC can get this suggestion to the cowboys, joe

Whatever it takes to keep him healthy. It's a relatively cheap investment to prolong his career.

Rub some *****' dirt on it and get the F out there. Hamstring specialist? Has this board gotten infected with the Wade Phillips' Wussification Virus?

Yeah I didn't realize these were issues either. Is it a recurring problem?

yes, remember felix jones had hamstring problem earlier in the year, and this last time a few weeks agon

when asked felix said, i didnt have any hamstring issues in college, etc

so, maybe he isnt doing something right, or not stretching right, whatever, since emmitt smith had hamstring issues, and some running backs do have hamstring problems, even T O has a specialist that works with him on his hamstrings too,

so what would it hurt if felix got a specialtist to stretch his hamsting or whatever

remember last year in training camp stewart had james hatcher rush out onto the field before he was ready running and he stretched his hamstring badly

so to me, whatever is causing felilx's hamstring problems, get a speciaalist to work with him to see it doesnt happen again, we need felix now,

i am sure all of you agree with that, we need felix badly to help out in the washington game and the upcoming games, so teams just cant tee off on barber,

If i remember correctly Felix said this was the first time he's ever hurt a hammy. I'm not worried about it but if it were to continue over the next several months maybe. The Mets finally has to send Jose Reyes to a stretching specialist after two years of continued hammy problems and he's had almost no problems since.

just look how chris johnson is meshing with white the other running back for tennessee, and chris is faaster then felix and he hasnt had any hamstring issues,


so something is going on to me with felix and his hamstring, get it fixed and see that it doesnt happen again

because to me, if a player of felix's ability played in college and didnt have any hamstring problems but now he is something is wrong, and not being done right,

find the problem and fix it,

we need that combo of barber and felix jones now

best i remember he had a hamstring problem at the start of the season, somewhere after the green bay game, remember he couldnt play against the Commanders because he got hurt,

i think it was his hamstring, but not sure, the cowboys said took 2 weeks for him to get ready

What does this have to do with ANYTHING??? Just because you're faster doesn't mean you're more prone to hamstring issues.

Sometimes you overstress the hamstring and you need to strech it better. Perhaps he just didn't stretch well enough.
