Tashard Choice

[Wreck02]

I just don't see Felix Jones being higher on the depth chart than TC after the preseason is done.

He's a good RB but not a between the tackles kind of guy. I think he would be better suited to a system that uses more of a zone blocking scheme.

Choice has the power and speed to be the every down back.

Pitt 2 weeks after giving up 166 total yards to Choice ALONE gave up only 85 total to Chris Johnson and LenDale White, one of the best rushing tandems in the AFC last year.

Likewise with Baltimore. The week after Choice gained 115 total against them, Maurice Jones-Drew (widely regarded as one of the best in the NFL) had 88 total yards.

The point is not to say that Choice is as good as those guys (although he very well may be); the point is that he was running well against defenses that were clearly still playing great even at the end of the season.

Right, but Romo is also a MUCH better QB than Kerry Collins or David Garrard and so the defenses were more likely to key on the deadly passing attack for the Cowboys and the deadly running attacks for the Titans and Jags.

Notice how bad Romo's numbers were for those two games

19/36 for 210, 1 TD, 3 INTs
24/45 for 252, 2 TDs, 2 INTs

Those aren't good numbers for a guy who had a 61% comp % and ~2:1 TD:INT ratio.

Yeah, Tashard is behind Barber and Barber is pretty dadgum good. So What to do?

Couple more years second team with the Cowboys won't hurt him none but I'd like to see him him wid da Steelas or somesplace like dat. Be good for TDiddy.!
