Why JJ has more burst, elusivness and speed, Marion has more toughness and can get the tougher yards that's why they are starting to use him in goaline and short yard situation.

Marion has improve a lot since last year and it's really pushing JJ for playing time but JJ it's still the starter I believe that they will share the carries but if JJ starts getting games like Carolina ans Seattle last year the amount off carries in that game would change

JJ scares me more than Barber. He hits the hole hard and runs downhill. Hate to admit it, but he's a stud runner who has gotten better every year. I think our D Line can contain him due to the fact that your O Line isn't what it used to be.

There's nothing studly about Julius "Mangina" Jones. Let's see him prove something beyond this season and then we'll talk.

2005: Despite missing three games, Jones finished eighth in the NFC, 17th in the NFL, with 993 rushing yards.
In a 24-20 win at Carolina (12/24), Jones posted a season-high 194 rushing yards and two touchdowns on a career-high 34 carries. The 194 yards was the second best total of his career and the fourth best day in club history. His 34 carries tied Smith for the second most in a game in club history, one shy of Smith's record of 35.
2004: Although he didn't burst into the spotlight until late November, Jones enjoyed one of the most memorable and productive rookie seasons of any player - at any position - in team history. Saddled with injuries (bruised rib and fractured scapula) that held him out of eight of the first nine games of the year, Jones left an indelible mark on the Cowboys record book when his health returned. While starting the final seven games of the season, Jones finished the year with 819 rushing yards, a 4.2-yard average and seven rushing touchdowns.
Doesn't sound like a "mangina" to me. I like my crow with a little horseradish. You?
