Cowboys To Use Barber and Jones Together
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 3, 2009 8:22 PM
The Cowboys may lack a proven wide receiver group, but they have a wealth of riches at running back.
To take advantage, they are working on ways to get Marion Barber and Felix Jones on the field at the same time.
Jones has the flexibility to line up wide or go in motion. (There is talk he may start.) Barber is also a versatile receiver and runner. Throw in Tashard Choice, who was excellent in three starts last year, and Dallas arguably has the best backfield in the NFL.
Pro Football Weekly also points out that rapper/blogger/tight end Martellus Bennett has impressed this offseason.
With two pass-catching tight ends and three quality backs, there should be plenty of weapons available to replace Terrell Owens' production.
Now it's on offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to use them correctly and make sure his scheme doesn't get "exposed" again.
