Chris Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 So if you don't know, I am a HUGE 'boys fan. I just got finished watching the game. I'm not mad. Just disappointed. What's happening? It's weird, this isn't the Dallas Cowboys. It's just as bad as the Dave Campo era right now. I've got a few things to say too: 1. Marion Barber is OVER-RATED. That's right. I said it. MBIII should NOT be used as much as he is. He's not as good overall as Felix Jones. In fact he shouldn't even be a halfback. The only good play where he looked like a true NFL halfback was that one good catch and run for the touchdown... except he was 15x slower. USE FELIX JONES MORE! SHEESH! 2. Penalties, penalties, penalties... quit it. 3. Romo's accuracy has gone down. Idk why. He needs to be the original Tony Romo though. 4. Play calling... seriously. Pass more. Romo is still a good player despite his slight slip in accuracy, and if you're gonna run, use Jones. Only use Barber when you NEED him. 5. BE AGGRESIVE. I HATE IT WHEN TEAMS PLAY CONSERVATIVE. Anybody want to add anything or contest one of my points? I want to hear what y'all have to say. Keep it nice and clean. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. idk about that. marion barber should be the featured back, he is a great power runner, and definitely better overall than jones. Once felix proves otherwise. Felix should be used more though i will agree on that. as for romo, his accuracy has slipped quite a bit, and the play calling has been a bit sluggish looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Lack of decent speed. Sure power is great and he has some decent speed but isn't that exactly the description of a good fullback? I think he is a pretty good blocker too. Hmmm... I think he is more of a fullback. Plus, if he had the speed of Jones, I guaruntee he would have like at least 5 more touchdowns that he has now.

Chris Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 My bad. He lacks good speed. He has a little decent speed though. Didn't mean to confuse anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, if he had the speed of Jones, I guaruntee he would have like at least 5 more touchdowns that he has now. He is not a good enough blocker to be a full back, and he is too good of a runner to be a fullback. Fullbacks get maybe 5 carries a game. Felix Jones has talent don't get me wrong, but being used as a compliment to Barbers straight ahead running style is the best way to utilize both backs.

I think the best way to use Barber is when they need him. (E.G. 3rd and short, 4th and short, red zone, trick play etc.) I think Jones should be used more than Barber period. He has amazing vision for a rookie and can find daylight quickly and efficiently. His speed is really good too. I just think Barber is over-rated and over-used. That's all. He's good don't get me wrong. Just not an NFL halfback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpod Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Dallas is still 4-2. The two losses were against Washington and Arizona, both of whom are good teams. The Panic Button should still have the protective cover on it. No need to hit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if they go 8-8 and make it to the playoffs. I'm still confident right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpd Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Im 2-1-1 after the simulated first two games. Of course im just assuming i've won this week. Just so long Kevin Boss doesn't fumble the ball 20 times. So far this year I've been cursed. Cut Ronnie Brown, 39 fantasy points vs the Patriots. Bench Deangelo Williams, 32 fanstasy points vs. the Chiefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
