The last suggestion worked out.. He called for Austin and it has worked. I completely agree with switching the roles-hop to it Wade and JG.

If he goes back to scoring double digits TDs, his salary will be well worth it.

And he’s the one that suggested it, so hopefully that makes it a little easier to see. I agree fully with Jerry on this, and am frankly surprised that Garrett hasn’t been smart enough to figure this out by himself without Jerry basically telling him what to do.

We It doesn’t matter what your paying him. Why start someone just because there salery. He earned that money in the 4th q let’s leave him there

They are mutually exclusive. He would prefer to see Barber at the end, rather than at the beginning:

I think the real question is, should he be finishing rather than beginning? In his Pro Bowl year, where he had his best year, [Barber was] finishing the game. If you recall, Julius Jones started the game. We injected the quickness of his speed there early.

Obviously, if we’re behind, especially by big margins, there’s no point in running Barber. That did not appear to be his point.

but… If Dallas gets off to better starts, there is a good chance we have the lead in the 4th.

I for one agree with Jerry.

RAF you’ve been awfully negative lately. Maybe Dallas could close out a game if Felix and tashard established a running game early.

Felix can do the same for us. MB3 is not that guy, he is very valuable, but not a player you can build your offense around.

MB3 hasn’t really ever been an effective RB as a starter for the Cowboys ever since Julius left. He’s lost it. Maybe that’s hard for alot of people to accept, but he’s never been the back he was when he was in that role with Julius.

What game is it where Barber doesn’t get a majority of the carries from the beginning of the game ( and what few of them there are)?

How many losses must add up before Jason Garrett realizes himself that he is not doing a good enough job establishing the right running back, regardless of politics?

Does the money that was paid to Barber Warrant getting a majority of carries, regardless of his deteriorating skills?

How about being worried that Barber may fumble a game away in the 4th qtr?

These are all provacative, yet realistic questions. No one has the courage to ask them.

After the Pittsburgh debacle last year, I’ve been calling for Tashard to be the featured back. He’s not the one that has to prove he’s effective. He already has, against the best run defenses in the NFL.

If Jason Garrett wants to develop a running game, his best chance is to stick with Tashard Choice. As many people have written on the contrary, It still remains the best option. I’m skeptical (yet hopeful) that Felix can get the tough yards. The idea is to simply bring balance to the playcalls. Felix should be the 3rd down/situational back. Tashard is a workhorse, and should be used as such. Garrett’s rotation of the RB’s is wrong in my opinion.

By the way you write Terry, it always seems to sound of desperation that Tashard doesn’t get any meaningful minutes so that he can prove you wrong- that he should be the main back.
You have always said he should stay in the razorback- thus limiting him to about, what, 3 plays a game at most? Maybe, by saying that, you believe Barber should continue to be used heavily?
If Jimmy Johnson or Parcells was coach, they would have already benched Barber after the fumble in the Redskins game.

Loving MB3,But I fear he is being mis-used since he became starter. People back then wanted MB3 as a starter because Julius seemed to always fall at the wind from the swiping hand of a defender. Add to that, the fact that Barber had more power and speed then, and you can see why everyone wanted Barber full time. He had alot of successful plays back then (i know it’s funny, because it was only 2 years ago). But alot of people, myself included, have always wanted to save Barber to close out games, and Barber was never an every-down all-purpose back in college. Niether was Felix.

Tashard Choice was not only an every down back in college at Georgia Tech, he was a successful one for every year he played there. This is the one single point of importance that can help Romo and the team on offense more than anything else.

Does that help in December?

Get someone in there that can do the job…That has already proved he can do the job.

I want to see Tashard Choice.

This is not an opinion I made based on watching one game.
