Felix Jones Out For Week 4

"Cowboys RB Felix Jones will miss Week 4 at Denver with a sprained PCL, reports ESPN. Head coach Wade Phillips said Tuesday that there is not a timetable for his return, but the report stats Jones might miss Week 5 as well so that he'll have three weeks of rest heading into Week 7 (the Cowboys have a bye in Week 6). Phillips did say Tuesday that RB Marion Barber is getting better but wouldn't commit to him playing against the Broncos. Jones rushed for 94 yards on eight carries and caught one pass for 20 yards against the Panthers in Week 3 before leaving in the third quarter (Sportsline)."

There is no word yet if Barber will be able to play, but if you need a running back in fantasy football pickup Tashard Choice. He could be the Cowboys' every down running back, which makes him a potential fantasy stud vs Denver. I like Felix Jones a lot, but he just can't say on the field, and I just don't see how he could ever be a primary back. He wasn't one in college and so far hasn't showed he can do it in the NFL.

Felix Jones Out For Season

Felix Jones 2008 season is over. Even though the Cowboys will miss him for the rest of the year, they have to like what they saw from him already this year. He has "big play" ability (98 yard return for a TD), and will be a great change of pace back for Barber (266 yards and three touchdowns in his 6 games). I don't think the Cowboys will make the playoffs this season, but they do have some pieces that could make this team a success in the future. Of course, they would need to cut Tony Romo and T.O. first.

Die Romo Die....

Picks 21-25

21. Atlanta Traded up to get OT Sam Baker USC, an absolute stud tackle, and the now they got their QB they need to protect him.

22. Dallas picks Felix Jones Ark, I told Bob his pick was stupid. Dallas is absolutely pumped they get this guy. He is explosive and will make a great fit as the one- two punch in the Big D.

23. Pittsburgh Picks Rashard Mendenhall, who is my boy. With Talib off the big board I believe this will be a great pick. Mendenhall along with Willie Parker in the backfield will be a very scary tandem to deal with.

24. Tennessee picks Chris Johnson, this by far is the reach of the day. Johnson definitely would have been there in the second round. Vince really could have used a WR. I don't like this pick, the Titans already have a clusterfuck in the backfield and this puts another wrench in it.

25. Dallas in a trade picks CB Mike Jenkins who I believe is one of the best CB in the draft behind Talib. They got a steal here.

With The Number 25th Pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the Seattle Seahawks Select....

I know, I know, I know, they desperately need a WR/ TE but a guy like Felix Jones I think is impossible to pass up. I don't trust T.J. Duckett, Julius Jones, or Maurice Morris and I believe Felix will be better and more affective than all of these guys. Being 6-0, 200 pound he has good size and is supposedly one of the quickest most elusive RBs in the draft.
