Portis and Betts: Should We Just Stick With Portis?

And regardless of whether he's a rookie or not, he's not the starter, so if I remember correctly, that makes him a backup.

I really don't see what you're talking about with Barber. Every commentator I've heard during the Dallas games has talked about the Dallas strategy w/ Jones and Barber - Bulk of Barber's carries come in 4th qtr.

Why are you taking the time to watch every Dallas game? This is suspicious.

Because one of my roommates is a Boys fan so when the Skins and Boys don't play at the same time we watch the other. Or we go to Damon's and watch them both. I'm also a football fan, so I watch every game I can. Everything I've seen from Barber makes me believe he's a better runner and pass catcher. He's not just their goalline back anymore, he's actually outplayed Julius Jones this season. I haven't noticed any trend with him playing the 4th, he may get more carries in the 4th, but the same would apply to Jones because they're always winning in the 4th.
