Well TAFKAS I dont think its a sophmore slump or the fact that Julius Jones is overated. I think its two things, 1) our o-line is terrible this year and 2) Julius Jones hasnt kicked the injury bug yet. Its the second year he has been hurt and he had a history of that in college. Parcells knows rb's and he was very high on JJ considering he passed up on alot of pretty good backs in last years draft. I do believe julius jones has what it takes to be a very good back in this league but he has been hurt and Marion Barber has stepped up in his absence causing some to question his ability. I posted on the cowboysboard how people flip flop between opinions and how they procalim players great one day and garbage the next. Dallas fans have done it with bledsoe, Henry, Newman and even Parcells when we lose or win. I have been watching football since the 70's and understand CONSISTENCY is the key in this league, not one year , let alone one game. IF Julius can stay healthy he will be a top RB in the NFL but he has to stay healthy.
