Devil's Advocate: Felix Jones vs. 5th Round RB

If he isn’t good enough to play for them why is he good enough to play for us?

No question. but its probably not gonna happen.

he been worthless for dallas on a team with a better o-line good qb and good wrs. we are just fine with the 2 rookies and we got and a lower costing hightower we can resign.

I am a Giants fan. The last time I hated the Redskins was when George Allen was a coach. (liked his teams but hated him) Anyway, I hope your management is capable of spotting talent in the draft because I don’t think free agent running backs are a good investment. Running backs are an interesting commodity. It’s wierd to say but a quality O-line with good blocking schemes will make your running backs look good. I have seen it with the Giants. With a good line, Barber, Jacobs, Ward, etc. are better with a group of guys up front that are capable of making holes, seams, openings etc. When Ward went to Miami after a 1000+ yardage season, he was far less than impressive, very underwhelmingand was released early. It made me understand how important offensive line player are. Your team stopped our running game and it wasn’t that difficult. Our O-line and run blockers were underwhelming. Invest in offensive linemen and pick running backs in the late rounds of the draft. There’s plenty of them out there and they will produce with good blocking.

PS I am guessing that Jacobs will probably not make the team next year and you can probably have him if he is of interest. I’m guessing that, DJ ware and Andre Brown will also be available.

As long as Shanahan is here I could care less who the RB is. He could revive my deceased grandmother and she could run for 1500 yards. I don’t believe trading with an in-conference mortal enemy is at all necessary.

If I had the choice between Jones, Helu or Royster I’m taking both Helu and Royster over Jones all day.

I think because of name recognition he’ll warrant a decent sized contract that won’t be equal to the production he gives.

Pass.

But I like this change of pace post.

But I say get Bernard Pierce from Temple, he would be a nice back to add to the mix for the skins, power back with good eyes and amazing speed, only issue would be that he doesnt have a lot of experience catching the ball and was never a blocker.

But that’s just because my mommy went there, so I’ve always been a VT fan.

so we can go back to calling each other pillow-biting vagina muffins.

Besides the anomaly that is Stephen Bowen. But no thank you to Felix Jones, he runs soft and is often injured.

Positives
- game changer/explosive
- multi-tool
- vengence vs cowboys

Negatives
- Hurt… all the time
- FA next year
- hasn’t proven he can carry a work load
- former cowboy

I could see bringing in a veteran during training camp to compete and stiff up the competition but if Hightower is healthy then it’s obvious we are set. Don’t like Felix Jones anyway, not just because he plays for the Cowpies but because he’s not a solid RB.

Bryce Brown from Tennessee, character concerns but talented.
