Guest filipatos Posted October 26, 2005 I take it nobody feels like talking about this guy - I assume that means you are all sick of hearing about him No - Im thinking of trading Warrick Dunn for him. Since Dunn has a bye this week anyways. and Im banking that Julius Jones is ready for week 9? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texasmouth 1 Posted October 26, 2005 Barber/Thomas/Thompson have combined for what JJ normally does in one game. JJ played against tough defenses and before people were giving the passing game any respect. I hope he sits this weekend and gets healthy for week 9. I think he comes back in great form with a huge chip on his shoulder, a lot like last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First and Long 0 Posted October 26, 2005 He may be ready for week 9 but that's the Cowboys bye week. That's why I'm thinking he'll sit this week and be back for week 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First and Long 0 Posted October 26, 2005 i still get the feeling parcels doesnt like him I think it's more disappointment than dislike. He wants JJ to step up and play through the pain. The only problem I have with this is that JJ was a 1st or 2nd round pick in all drafts and he's not going to return nearly that much value at this point. The week 8 matchup vs Arizona is one that his owners (including me) have been drooling over and now it looks like he'll be riding the pine for that one. His schedule beyond that isn't the most difficult in the league but it's not the easiest either. I'm thinking that if he comes back in week 10 and has a great game, it might be a good opportunity to trade him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junkie 0 Posted October 26, 2005 I'm thinking about offering up Jordan and Coles for J. Jones and Fitzgerald. I already have M. Barber and A. Thomas. I think Jones will be back to form after the bye week. The Jones owner is desperate for a win and is depleted at RB. My WRs aren't that great w/ Glenn, Branch and Coles. I'm 6-1, so I can afford to wait a little on Jones. Of course, it would be a gamble. If I did the deal I'd be without LT and Jones week 9. They have the same bye week. I'd have to start Bettis and a FB off the waiver wire. That's all that's there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS79 0 Posted October 26, 2005 I was gonna trade tatum bell to get Julius - He offered that to me... Now I am not so sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First and Long 0 Posted October 26, 2005 I was gonna trade tatum bell to get Julius - He offered that to me... Now I am not so sure. Tatum Bell = RBBC hell. If I had that offer, I'd take it every time. Even against tough defenses, I'd rather have the guy who is guaranteed to get 20+ carries each game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emense talent, injury magnet. Unfortunate, I latched on to this guy the same way I did when we drafted a Florida guy who was too small and too slow to play in the NFL. I still think he comes back in week 9 ( to full practicing is what I was implying) and is ready to start in week 10 and he has a lot to prove to himself, his fans and above all his coach.

texasmouth 1 Posted October 27, 2005 So is Marion Barber definetly getting most of the carries this week or will A-Train/Tyson Thompson get 20 this time around? I say yews. Barber is really proving himself to Parcells. He knows the routes, he knows the plays, he picks up the blitz and he is a good runner. I think he gets the majority of the snaps, probably around 20-25 touches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swagger 0 Posted October 27, 2005 Dallas morning news sports writer covering the Cowboys on AM 1300 this morning stated that this is truly an HIGH ankle sprain and that the time to heal is gonna be longer than media is led to believe. The conversation progressed to discussions on time to heal from HIGH ankle sprains, usually a 4-6 months. My 2 cents on the topic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lions_or_Die 0 Posted October 27, 2005 I just offered an owner Stephen Davis/Larry Johnson/Heath Miller for JJ/Chad Johnson/Courtney Anderson. I am really hoping both he bites on this trade and that JJ can come back strong for weeks 10-16. This owner has Dillon, JJ and Rudi Johnson at RB. We must start 2. With JJ out and Dillon and Rudi up in the air, this guy cannot afford to not take this trade. He will be out of the playoffs otherwise with potentially no RBs to start and 5 losses already. Also, Anderson is his starting TE (must start 1) and Miller would be a good upgrade for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
