One of the things that through the years the Dallas Cowboys have always had is a number one running back. Lately though that has not been the case. Marion Barber and Felix Jones both have shared time depending on who had the hot hand. Is it about time we see if either is a No.1 back for the Cowboys. I like both of them, but both have had injuries so maybe neither is a true No.1 running back.
I think it is time the Cowboys figure out what they are going to do in the off-season. Using both backs seem to work okay right now, but how long will Barber and Jones like the prospect. Platooning running backs is one reason Julian Jones left the Cowboys. Unless the Cowboys decide which one is the true No.1 running back in the offense both may decide to leave for greener pastures where they get to be a No.1 back.
Felix Jones has the speed and Marion Barber is more of a punishing runner so the choice is very hard. I guess in time we will see what the Cowboys plans are. I just wish they would decide what they want to do. Many people think Barber is the No.1, but at times the way they use him it makes me wonder as well.
