Title: Felix Jones scores TD on first NFL carry
Post by: bugo on September 07, 2008, 05:26:39 PM
He scored on an 11 yard run today, his first career rush.  He also had a nice run a little bit later (the game is still on as of 5:25.)  For those who don't know who Felix is, he's a Tulsa native who was an All American at the University of Arkansas and is a rookie with the Dallas Cowboys.  Congrats to Felix.  This is the first of many, many touchdowns.

I was surprised he didn't get more carries in the first half. Now that Dallas is way ahead, I predict he will get plenty of chances to touch the ball.

He ended up with 9 rushes for 62 yards with 1 TD.  Average yards per carry was 6.9 and his longest run was 22 yards and one kick return for 20 yards.  The yards per carry does not surprise me at all, as his average was always better than Darren McFadden at Arkansas.  Not bad for being second on the depth chart.

Again, congratulations to Felix for a great debut.  He's gonna be a good one.

Felix is a stud.  More powerful than McFadden.  I wish the Chiefs had gotten him.
