football_scooter 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Parcells said something about Barber III getting 10-12 carries a game even after JJ comes back. News: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that head coach Bill Parcells said he will use rookie Marion Barber III along with Julius Jones (sprained ankle) once the latter is healed. Analysis: This move will certainly cut into Jones' carries, but don't expect Parcells to just hand over huge chunks of the offense to the rookie. Jones is still the man here, despite an injured ankle, but it wouldn't hurt to get Barber off of the waiver wire this week if he's still available. The Cowboys have a bye in Week 9, before facing the Eagles on MNF in Week 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westcoast 0 Posted October 31, 2005 I would not put it past Parcells giving MBIII the start after the bye. He will tell Jones since he seems to be a slow healer, maybe he can just rest a while longer. I know the Tuna hates players that don't step up when called to. He wants you to at least try to perform to show you have heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
