In fairness to Julius Jones

With all the talk about Marion Barber taking the starting job, it's only fair to point out that Julius Jones had a big game and Barber was a nonfactor in the Cowboys' playoff loss to Seattle.

Jones, who professed his love that week for Qwest Field's "fast track," rushed for 112 yards on 22 carries. Barber gained 4 yards on three carries and 23 yards on three catches.

Jones' 35-yard run late in the fourth quarter put the Cowboys in field-goal position. That run would be much more memorable if not for the the little problem with the K ball a little bit later.
