Unless they got something else in the works..
Not the Jones i thought but Julious Jones will be a good back for us
Due to the trade we will have 2 first rounders next year
Looks like Bill is building for the future
Julius Jones
229 1268 5.5 10
Steven Jackson
350 1545 4.4 19
Kevin Jones
281 1647 5.9 21
Tatum Bell
213 1286 6.0 16
The numbers are pretty comparable, and Julius Jones didn't benefit from nearly as much talent as Kevin Jones and Tatum Bell did. Notre Dame's O-line was horrible and there was no passing game to take the heat off him. He was the target. Yet he still managed THREE 200 yard rushing games and a 5.5 ypc average a full yard higher than Steven Jackson. (though Jackson had a terrible O-line as well)
Not really worried about his fumbling and i don't think it will be a problem in the pros. Ahman Green had a fumbling problem at one time but he is fine now
His 40 times were faster than Jackson and Jones. He looks to be pretty quick and nimble to me. He will break some long runs for the Cowboys
Between the videos i've seen of him and the many written reviews i've read he dosen't seem to be the type of runner thats going to be ankle tackled
Emmitt was not a high pick coming into the league and did not have breakaway speed. Even Michael Irvin himself said there were simularities between the 2
I expect Julius to gain 1300 yrds for the Boys next year
<< <i><< I watched him play for 4 years, would not have guessed he would go second round. Good college player at ND, but fumbled way too much and no break-away speed. He seems to gotten over his tendency to get ankle tackled easily. Not a star quality player and the comparisons to E. Smith are silly. All I can say is hummmmmmmmmm. >>

1300? lol, thanks for the laugh
Hey Einstien before you open your mouth maybe you should think about the situation a bit more
First of all Julius will be the feature back for the Cowboys
Secondly their offensive line is a decent line and after drafting 2 solid o-lineman and a blocking T.E in this years draft it will be even better. Larry Allens future is still up in the air . Any decent back besides Hambrick last year would've gained many more yrds than he did
And lastly 1300 yrds avg.d out over a 16 gm season is only 80 yrds a game !!
You act like i predicted the guy to rush for 120 yrds a gm or something
Rotoworld reports J.Jones is the best fantasy prospect on the rookies entering the NFL
RotoWorld?s Top 10 Fantasy Rooks
1. Julius Jones, RB ? Dallas Cowboys
Like any fantasy list, it?s tough not to take a running back first. Jones is #1 because he?s virtually guaranteed to be the primary running back on a team that will run. Some Cowboys fans were disappointed in the pick, but Jones had four 200+ yards games behind a weak offensive line at Notre Dame. As long as he can understand the offense, Jones can rack up over 1,100 yards. Who?s going to beat him out? Aveion Cason?
2. Kellen Winslow, TE ? Cleveland Browns
You usually only hear the words ?position scarcity? in fantasy baseball. It applies here to the abysmal tight end pool in fantasy football and increases Winslow?s value. As long as he doesn?t hold out, Winslow should gain over 800 yards and be a Top 4 fantasy tight end as a rookie.
3. Tatum Bell, RB ? Denver Broncos
We see the Broncos backfield situation working out in one of two ways. 1. Denver uses a running-back-by- committee approach for most of the season, sharing carries between Bell, Quentin Griffin, and Garrison. 2. Bell impresses the coaches like we think he can and wins the job outright in short order.
Because of the uncertainty involved, we?ll list Bell at #3 for now. A strong training camp would easily vault him to the top of this list. If the situation is still uncertain going into the season, Bell is a perfect choice for the gambling fantasy owner. He?s got 1,500 yard upside.
4. Larry Fitzgerald, WR ? Arizona Cardinals
Fitzgerald is as close to a sure thing as a rookie wide receiver can be. Dennis Green?s offense makes wideouts look good, and Fitzgerald is polished. History suggests there are no sure things, so we?ll reluctantly list him fourth. Josh McCown at QB doesn?t help matters.
5. Kevin Jones, RB ? Detroit Lions
Because of his East-West running style, this Jones is a riskier pick. Like Julius, Kevin should be the favorite to get the majority of carries on his team. The problem is that Steve Mariucci prefers a running-back-by-committee approach, especially with a rookie. Artose Pinner and Shawn Bryson (ugh) could steal carries. More importantly, they could steal goal-line opportunities from Jones, who is undersized.
6. Steven Jackson, RB ? St. Louis Rams
Okay, he doesn?t have the opportunity to be ?the man? right away. We?d still take him over the WR crop because of Marshall Faulk?s knees. Faulk underwent significant offseason surgery for the second straight year. He missed five games last season and hasn?t played 16 games since 1999.
If Steven Jackson is the primary running back in St. Louis for only four games in 2004, then he?s worth more than the wideouts listed below.
7. Reggie Williams, WR ? Jacksonville Jaguars
This kid oozes confidence and hard work. He?ll start opposite a legit #1 receiver in Jimmy Smith. He?ll catch passes from Byron Leftwich, who has a chanc
Experts will be singing a different tune about the Boys draft when they realize Julius was a steal in the 2nd plus we get the Bills #1 next year which might end up being a top 5 pick
Only time will tell, but could be a shrewd move by Parcells. I for one am inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Just look at Dominic Davis last year. The guy was a 4th rd pick and he played terrific
btw, you guys have had a good offseason so far, should be a fun week 1. Vikes vs. Boys :-)

(julius wasnt a full time starter yet)
Once they started playing some of the younger quicker lbs they were actually pretty good. Udezie still being around at #19 was a gift from above. I would have liked to have kept the old d coordinator because I think he was on to something.
I hear the new guy likes the 3-4. I just hope they don't take a step backwards. He has had some success previously, we'll see?

DALLAS COWBOYS -- With the entire spectrum of running backs to choose from, Parcells traded out of the round, picked up another No. 1 for next year and in the second round chose a breathtakingly fast (4.45) fumbler, Julius Jones. If the guy gains 1500 yards, I will personally get out of the draft rating business and go into something more sensible, such as haberdashery. Later in the second round the Cowboys took T Jacob Rogers, a converted TE. Converted tight end? What happened to the kind of guys Parcells used to draft, Bob Kratch, Karl Nelson, William Roberts, that bunch?
Heya certifiedsilverdollar you are a neighbor. I live in Mishawaka and have been sitting on the 35 yard line 23 rows up for years. I saw Paul Hornung play at the stadium. I hope Julius has a fantastic career, but after watching him for the past 5 years I will be very surprised if he does. He will cough up the ball and he will get injured unless history doesn't repeat itself. If I were a betting man I would be in two years someone else will be starting in Dallas.
with geting buff ist round pick and one of our own. i dont know if jones will be the man. parcells already got pissed at him about tuffness. might see a stud back in d next year.
Of course anyone can suffer broken bones, however the NFL is replete with backs who had a lot of talent but were injury prone. Blame it on physiology, running style, size or just knowing when to take a hit and when to not take one, Jones history at ND was one of being prone to injuries. Sometimes things are coincidences and sometimes they are not.
Edited to add: He justn't seem like the type of player that Parcells is known for tolerating or surrounding himself with.
