Maybe Julius will go to Washington and back up Portis [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] He'll be closer to home and he'll fit right in with the whole " We hate Dallas" group. It'd be great
Thomas graduated in 3 years right? was it a double major?

Why sorry?
Barber's numbers have always been slightly inflated to a certain degree. I love watching the guy run with that physical style so don't get me wrong I'm not hating on him. But the years he backed up JJ he got most of his yards in the 4th quarter protecting leads while the other team was sucking air, got most of his TD's in goal line situations. Again nothing wrong with that, just pointing it out. Looking at him this season Barber has struggled sometimes running the ball in the first half of games, and again gets lots of yards protecting leads. Also, look at his rushing performances without Tony Romo. Playing on THAT great offense really can make you look a lot better than what you actually are, and it shows for the entire offense when Romo was out.
Though Barber is a good all around back, one of the better all around in the NFL.
That offense wasn't great without Romo though. Brad Johnson refused to throw the ball downfield, partly because he probably can't, partly because he is anal like that. The wr's got jammed at the line, and witten was bracketed. That allowed the defense to focus more on the running game. Dallas has a huge need at backup qb, brad johnson would be lucky to win four games with them. So you can't really blame that on Barber i don't think.
And he did benefit from playing when the defenses were tired, I'll give you that. But he is still playing well this year being the main back. Dallas made the right move IMO.
