In the next few weeks we will be looking at several Cowboys that are essential to the team being successful. How do we judge success? I am glad you asked. You will not hear Super Bowl talk from me, instead a successful season will be a playoff win. That is it....one lousy playoff win. The last time the Cowboys won a playoff game was against Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl 13 years ago. That's right, there have been kids that have gone through all of their public education (K-12) and never seen America's Team never win a lousy playoff game.
After watching the game on Friday night, the one player who stood out to me was Felix Jones. Last year, the kid from Arkansas played in only 6 games before suffering a season-ending injury. In what little time he played last year, Jones showed off some incredible skills. He averaged 8.9 yards a carry and scored 3 TDs. When he gets out in open space there are a handful of players in the league that can catch him. He provides another element to the offense. He is the lightning to Barber's thunder and is an excellent receiver out of the backfield.
With the lack of a solid #2 WR, the Cowboys are going to have to utilize players like Felix to get where they wanna go.
