Julius Jones player update
By Sporting News
Julius Jones, RB — Dallas Cowboys Sept. 3, 5:41 p.m.
The Cowboys didn't run the ball well at all during training camp, averaging just 3.5 yards per carry. The bigger problem is that Jones averaged just 2.3 yards per carry on 43 carries. The two-tight end offense that Dallas has made its base scheme doesn't suit the skills of Jones, who is much more effective running draws and delays from formations with three receivers. This current offense requires more power running plays, which suits Marion Barber, though he doesn't have the speed or quickness of Jones to turn short runs into long touchdowns.
