Maurice Morris / Julius Jones

Any comments from Holmgren? Any indication that they might go with Morris as the main man going forward?

 

I wouldn't read too much into this, Holmgren seems to be using Morris and Jones on a whim. A couple weeks ago I thought Morris might be getting phased out, now this week.

 

I can't understand why Jones isn't getting 66% of the carries.

Ask any Cowboy fan

 

Marion Barber may not be in the Adrian Peterson/Ladanian Tomilson category; but he isn't far from that. Not being as good as Marion Barber doesn't mean you aren't a good RB.

 

Julius Jones is the exact opposite from what I've heard from most Cowboy fans, the Seattle running game was most effective when Morris was injured and Jones was getting 20-25 carries a game. And until our offense completely blew up from injuries, Jones was amongst the NFC rushing leaders.

Julius Jones to start vs. Cowboys

 

By Scott M. Johnson

Herald Writer

RENTON -- Running back Julius Jones will get a chance to exact revenge on the team that let him go.

 

Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said Wednesday that Jones will start Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys, even though Maurice Morris had 103 yards on Sunday.

 

Holmgren said that Jones's history with the Cowboys was a factor in naming him the starter.

 

"I think it's the fair thing to do," Holmgren said. "No one should read any more into it than that."

 

Jones played his first four NFL seasons with Dallas before the Cowboys let him go in free agency last spring.
