As to Jones, if the team is not impressed with him, why has he been the starter for lo these many years now? Was he a Parcells guy? Will Marion Barbour take his place as everydown back now that Jason Garret is in charge of the offense? As a Redskins fan, I always feel relieved to see Jones out there instead of Barbour. Marion gives us fits.

I would not say so much that there really is a "starter" it is a more situational 2-back system. Jones had more carries last season, but he primarily carries between the 20's. When they get to the red zone (or 3rd down) Barber is the guy. That is why Barber had 13 TD's last season to Jones's 4. I really do not call either a "starter", it is just a two-back attack is all.
