Who would you Blame if Tashard isn't used correctly?

Same if Austin is not used correctly.

The OC should be hanged if he does not used the spares and back-ups to the liking of the common fan.

a person. It could be a scheme, a philosiphy, a team. I know it’s easy to point the finger at Garrett, but Tashard may not be able to get the touches even if Garrett wanted him too,

If you were talking to me.

I like Choice, but his role really hasn’t been defined. He’s certainly a different back than the other two, but when is the appropriate situation to use him? Felix is faster, and Barber more punishing. Both compliment each other well. It’s going to be tough to find a spot for Choice, unless another back goes down.

My only concern about the running game this year is Barber, and the potential for him to get worn down as the season goes on. I think Choice may very well find his role simply spelling Barber to make sure his legs stay fresh late in the 4th quarter.

the same games last year? Anyone that knows me knows I’m pretty level headed about the Cowboys all the time, so that doesn’t even matter.

So I step back and look at my threat, and I see that I’m not ready to go thermonuclear over the team NOT building game plans around him. A smile seems to grow on my face though thinking about how productive he was during the crunch time at the end of last season.

What would make me go totally thermonuclear though Rafael is the offense totally dropping back and throwing the ball down the field repeatedly- Sound familiar? De-Ja-Vu? We all know how that turned out.

Misusing Tashard- That’s an easy one Rafael . You do remember the Steelers game right? How many successful screens did Tashard Have? Quite a few. The Steelers, though, refused to commit anyone to cover him, and when they did, the linebacker was late, and didn’t have any idea what to do to stop the screens. So naturally, the Cowboys, having success like that with the screens, did what Rafael? You want to tell me? Do you know what they did? Go ahead, say it.

They abandoned the screen, and went to forcing the passes. In the end, when that didn’t work (and after 2 interceptions) and the game had been gift wrapped and served to the Steelers on a silver platter, Romo/Garrett saw the screen was still there since the Steelers were giving it to us, and they went back to it, but only after the interceptions- in other words, a little to little, a little too late. I call that misuse. Why? Because if they were giving you screens all day, then you run the screen on them all day, especially since Tashard is so proficient at it.

Proper use- well, although that is open to debate, my take would be for him to get alot of touches in the early stages of the game, sprinkling Felix, and Then Hammer them with Barber. That would be my hope of how he would be used. This will also extend Barbers career.

Rafael-“What’s proper use? How many carries per game? How many catches? How many touches?”

DallasPalace- Do you need to ask what proper use is when Captain Carrot is our Offensive coordinator Raf? Let me remind you of what improper use would be- Constantly try to force passes into double coverage!

And why shouldn’t I get excited about a gritty player that plays with heart and seems to make something out of nothing on a consistent basis? There really wasn’t much else to get excited about the Dallas Cowboys last year. Laugh at me if you want Raf, Mock me if you will, but at least give me that. Barber did not inspire me enough last year, and Felix got injured.

You mean that I’m ready to throw stones? i really don’t understand your use of the phrase in regards to my post. My post was not meant to be degrading to anyone whatsoever. Just my opinion, and if you want it in writing, then okay, I’ll write it because it’s my belief to.

I believe Tashard Choice to be just as important to our offense as Felix Jones and Marion Barber.
And I like him better so far. You can probably tell by the length of my posts that I feel strongly over the need to get him invovlved in the game.

I don’t understand your use of the term “Why don’t you define what "using him properly" means before you go painting targets on people’s heads.”

How in the world do you believe in anything I said that I was painting targets on anyone’s head? I really dislike what you are implying. Nothing I wrote in my post was in anger, degrading anyone, or meant to be that way. If it was taken that way, I apologize. But I just don’t see it. Just stating my opinion of what I saw and stating it like any fan would want to. If you believe that I painted targets on anyone’s head, then you must please explain to me how?
