Fraley: Here's why Felix Jones isn't getting more carries for Cowboys

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Feelings be damned, move Barber to the closer role and tell Choice he won't get anymore touches unless someone gets hurt.

I understand the what if he gets hurt arguement, but what if we're shelving a Chris Johnson lite sorta talent here?

Makes sense.

If I were running things Jones and Choice would be the guys, and Barber would have been traded or released. Love the guys attitude on the field, but he isnt the same player he was a few seasons ago and Jones/Choice are just alot more gifted at this point. Jones would have easily gained 100+ yds on those same carries Barber had vs Houston, he left alot of yards on the table those plays. He had some gaping holes a few of those plays.

Jones should get 12-15 carries a week, more if he can handle it.

I'd give Jones more than 12-15, but we know with these three backs it won't happen. Plus we aren't that good on the line.

They need to deal Choice or MBIII and get an actual backup RB(someone that can be had via Free agency or late draft pick) and then ride these guys like they should.

Probably Barber because he's the oldest back, and then we need to turn Felix loose and have Choice in reserve.

Whatever.

I just want everyone to bookmark this thread as a reference in the event you're ever unsure on why Felix doesn't get more carries. It's all spelled out in the article.

We can now put that baby to bed.

Give him the ball until he passes out. Spell him, and get him back out there. Run him to the ground. Felix is a threat everytime he touches the ball. He definately needs the ball more.

Maybe it's his blitz pickups that are negating him to get in the game more? I don't think he is in any sort of doghouse, is he?

Silly me. , like there would be anything like that on a Phillips ran team.

The dude just needs to carry the ball more and make some plays.
