| Jason Garrett Says Cowboys Not Holding Back RB Felix Jones | | |
Running Back Felix Jones has handled the ball nine times or fewer in 15 of his 23 games with the Cowboys. His totals this season are 10, nine and seven. Asked if he deserved more chances, Jones said, "I'm enjoying it," before dashing into an off-limits area. What makes this season's use of Jones puzzling is the way he ended last season. With Marion Barber limping to the finish, Jones dazzled in the final six games, including the playoffs, averaging more than 15 chances and produced 94.8 yards from scrimmage per game. "We love Felix Jones," Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said. "He's going to get plenty of opportunities as the season goes on. ... Different opportunities have come for different guys. We talk about that with the players all the time." Garrett said the Cowboys are not holding Jones back to follow last season's pattern, when his fresh legs made a difference down the stretch.
