Rating The New Cowboys

Rating The New Cowboys:

RB Felix Jones - A - Has shown that he can run at the NFL level. One of the Fastest guys on the team, has great burst and is averaging 8+ yards per carry. Out for the Season...

RB Tashard Choice - A - Hasn't been given the ball enough, but when has hes made plays. Good on Special teams... Starting to see the Ball and having a Huge Impact. Expect to see him start against Baltimore.

WR Danny Amendola - D - (PS) player.

TE Martellus Bennett - A- - Very fast for a tight end has played good, needs to improve his blocking skills. What about converting him to a WR?

CB Mike Jenkins - B - Has shown flashes of being a good cornerback. Great speed, hits hard, and plays with passion. Playing good ball... Has 1 INT

CB Orlando Scandrick - A - Done a good job, is extremely fast looks like we got a steal of a pick. Doing an awesome job.

QB Brooks Bollinger - C - Threw alot of bad passes, but did make a couple nice throws. Won't be here next season. Won't be here next season. llol

WR Roy Williams - C - Has seen the ball much but has made a couple nice catches, expect to see him improve with Romo back, hes a keeper. Still not doing much but at least hes drawing double teams.

OL Montrae Holland - B+ - The Weakest Link on the OL... Kosier back soon. Wrong about him he was great, hopefully he will be back soon cause Kosier went down again and Proctor sucks.

LB Zach Thomas - A- - Great tackler has played better than expected.

P Sam Paulescu - C - Not the best leg, but has done a relatively good job. McBriar is the best. Lacks distance, but still doing an okay job.

Not bad.

Holland really hasnt gotten much playing time. it's been more procter thats been scrubbing it up at LG. But at this pouint he is still looking like a waste of a draft pick. We'll see next preseaon or so, however

Ill be honest....I was fucking pissed when we drafted Jones. I was fuming, and I think most Cowboy's fans were. But he really shut me the fuck up. Dude can go up the middle too, he's no Bush.

LOL...I was excited when we drafted Felix. I still think there's no way Barber can carry the whole load of the running game. He seems to be wearing down already.

The run blocking has been good awful, the Pass blocking has been decent. Barber should be fine once Romo is back, teams have been putting 8 in the box all the time.

I was hoping for Mendenhall

IMO minus the injury, you cant go wrong with those two. Just depends on style.

I think Mendenhall is the same type of runner as Barber...we needed a faster RB who can change the pace and we got him.

Now, if he could stay healthy...

I liked the thought of Mendenhall at the time because 1- I liked the thought of us being a power run team. Just beating teams to death down the field. And 2- Retaining Barber was still up in the air

Bennett = Serious possibilitys

I would like to see some 5 "WR" sets with both him and Witten wide with TO, RW and Austin.

That would be fucking killer

i dont see the wearing down part at all. He got the ball on every play of our last posession, and did nothing but move the chains, make BRILLIANT decisions with staying in bounds, and falling to the ground when near going out of bounds. I must say tho, just as JJ, I was Pissed as hell when we got Felix, I thought Jerry was doing it just to get an alum razorback on the team, I wanted Mendenhall at that point in time. But Felix proved me wrong, and shut me the hell up quick.

It's like Julius' first year all over again...fantastic on his first few games, disappeared after getting injured. I hope it doesn't happen to Felix.
