Ah, one more game down and we’re all just wondering when the end will come. It surely can’t come too soon for certain reporters who brought the obvious necessity of it to Jason Garrett’s attention again on Monday.
The Dallas Cowboys need to throw their pre-draft scouting
report on running back Felix Jones down the drain, and let Jones slip and slide
right along with it. The months that
have elapsed since he last made a defender miss will soon turn into a full
year.
But don’t try to get an exact read on the temperature on
this subject at Valley Ranch, because they aren’t divulging any thing. “Somebody asked me if we were going to
replace [Jones[ or cut him from the team after the ballgame,” Garrett
said. “Every player is evaluated, really
on a weekly basis, and what their role is.
Certainly, what they have done in the recent past is certainly
significant, and what they have done in terms of their body of work is
significant as well. We’ll continue to
evaluate Felix like we do every player on our football team and decide what
that role is going forward.”
Let’s hope that Garrett and his staff don’t spend too much
time searching for positives. The
reasons for keeping Jones around through his fifth NFL season are so few in
number and so insignificant that they’re not even discernible. He has gone from a rookie phenom with
electrifying speed to a slow, overrated back with a skill set that has long
since diminished.
Sunday’s fumble on the opening kickoff is just one additional
reason to expedite this graceless Hog back to the Ozarks where he came from.
