peepinmofo Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 http://www.star-telegram.com/332/story/1080046.html I think Barber would be the LAST person to have his toughness questioned. PITTSBURGH — Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones questioned Marion Barber’s toughness after learning he couldn’t play Sunday at Pittsburgh. Jones believed Barber’s dislocated right pinkie toe was an injury that he could have played with against Pittsburgh. Before the team boarded for its flight to Pittsburgh on Saturday, Jones was stunned Barber did not make the trip. After not practicing all week and with an additional sore calf, Barber felt he couldn’t play. Jones said Barber could have taped and braced the toe well enough to allow him to play. "He can play with that injured toe," Jones said. "He can play with the soreness and a combination of those things. I see nothing that led us to believe he couldn’t." Jones was unsure whether Barber could return against the New York Giants on Sunday. While Jones seemed disappointed with Barber, he was thrilled with rookie Tashard Choice. Choice, a fourth-round pick from Georgia Tech, made his first career start and had 23 carries for 88 yards against the NFL’s top-ranked defense. He also led the team with 78 yards receiving on five catches. "Tashard might have added a plus," Jones said. "I don’t think we lost any slack there." Choice’s play caught the attention of Pittsburgh linebacker LaMarr Woodley "He’s a pretty good back. We knew that," Woodley said. "When he saw a hole he hit it, so you have to give him props. He ain’t in the NFL for nothing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Sign your RB to a long-term deal, pay him forty-five million dollars, then rip him in frustration ofter a loss in which he doesn't even play. Jerry Jones is simply a loser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Ryan Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I think Jones should have kept this in house if he felt this way. He is the greatest owner in the NFL, and the worst GM. To have one, we are stuck with the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenthug Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I think Jones should have kept this in house if he felt this way. He is the greatest owner in the NFL, and the worst GM. To have one, we are stuck with the other. The Cowboys are now claiming he was "mis-quoted". That looks like a pretty black & white burn to me.

Azazello1313 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) He is the greatest owner in the NFL, and the worst GM. how can the former be true if the latter is also? every owner has the power to step in, fire every good coach he was lucky enough to hire, grab the reigns, and f*ck up their team. jones is one of only two who are stupid enough to actually do it. JJ is an egomaniacal joke. seagull management at its absolute pinnacle. Edited December 8, 2008 by Azazello1313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Jerry thinks he's the NFL. He don't need no revenue sharing and he sure don't need no slacker of a RB. If he only had a brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51Butkus Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 We'd have an incredible RB "committee" were he traded to Chicago. We'll make room for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
