Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!

I love the way Marion Barber runs, but if he keeps it up he'll last another two seasons tops.

In case you have forgotten he is our "Beast" who will help clog up those running lanes. Hopefully our LB's and Safeties are prepared to cover the flanks. I think more teams will now try to run to the outside.
They run Felix to the outside more anyway, so Haynesworth won't be much of a factor in stopping him. Barber, on the other hand...

More screen talk.... I don't know what else you want from me, I agree its stupid sh*t, just freaking dumb. Jones is a fool but the monitor can be fixed so no big deal after this week probably.
I agree about Barber. Nothing was more demoralizing than that Sunday night game last year when the Skins D absolutely needed a stop for a chance to get the ball back, and Barber kept grinding out 1st downs. He reminds me of Riggo in that regard, keep feeding him the ball, because he's a beast by the 4th quarter.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!

Barber has had one good game against the Skins in his career. One.

He's had far more memorable performances like this:

8 for 26
6 for -6 (yes negative yards)
15 for 43

Exactly. Do they have talent? Sure. They're NFL players. Do they get built up beyond belief because they're Cowgirls? Absolutely!

Seems like a lot of Skins fans fall for it every year too.

Right. Betts would get a lot more respect from our fans if he were in a Cowgirls uniform. It's pathetic.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!

He's good but not against our GREAT runstopping Defense. We held Barber to one of his season lows in yards, so I'm not to worried about Fast Felix.

Felix was injured in college some and of course he missed most of last year but if he can play 16 games there is potential for him to be a Pro Bowler..

Also Cassel looked good in the Chiefs-Vikings game, hopefully JC looks just as good tomorrow night!
Jones is for real and is going to be a pain in the ass coming out of the backfield.

Cassel could be a bust IMO. No way would I gave a guy that kind of money after only one year. This has Rob Johnson written all over it. Outside of Bowe who is on KC's offense?

Touche, but people here are saying the same crap I hear about Mason ....."gets his yrds against rookies", "can't block for crap."

I'll concede if you do. You are partially correct. He did awsome in HS.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!

I'M just saying that Jones is going to be pretty good for a while, he's no Portis though!! CP has been great since he came in the league.. Although I would trade Betts for Jones.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!

The one player that I was scared of going into the first Dallas game last year was Felix Jones. The Skins had proven that they could stop TO (the 4TD game was an anomaly due to the injury situation) and Barber the previous year. Jones is fast. No matter how good your defense is, he can score on any given play with that kind of speed. Now fortunately, Jason "Red Jesus" Garrett, didn't give him the ball at all that game and we came out with the W. You always have to be cognizant of guys like that.

Re: Felix Jones is a problem!!

I think you have to be cognizant of any opposing players talent. That's what you gameplan for. Lot's of players can become a problem if you don't. Barber was suppose to run all over us a couple of years ago. We held him to minus yardage. AP was suppose to run all over us. It didn't happen. Felix Jones is a problem to us if we allow him to be a problem. Find the solution, problem solved.
