Is Julius Jones any good. I'm just venting because I am not a fan and now he's been moved to my team. I always felt that Barber III was always the better all-around back and was PISSED whenever Jones got to touch the ball. It was the only thing holding me back from liking the Cowboys.

He is OK. When he was healthy he always played well, but he def. benefited from having Barber to change things up. I know the 'hawks won't have a change of pace back close to what Marion did for him.

One good year with the Cowboys, then just didn't seem to put much effort out consistently.

has ZERO field vision...just seems to run to the prescribed hole but he does run hard and if you give him a crease he can take it all the way. the funny part about seattle signing him is that is the team he tore up the most...he destroyed seattle and pretty much no other team in the league

I really don't know about SOLID back up >:\ back-up at best. Like Tim Couch, backup QB

Agree, ZERO. I can't believe this sucker is on my team. I'm sick.

I never tailed him that closely... I don't even remember him having a good year at all. Maybe LT or someone was tearing it up that year so I didn't pay attention.

For sure... I felt Morris was probably better than Shaun toward the end of his career.

Barber was the #1 back in Dallas. Morris of the Seahawks is solid in my opinon. He's comparable to Marooney.

he's decent sized, he's fast. put him in Denver and he's another good back for them.

Dallas made the smart move of not overpaying for him when they could easily get someone to do the job cheaper.

I had high hopes for him when he entered the NFL. But he's just like Kevin Jones--a P.O.S. >:\ Not that I could do any better or close lol... but I hate this dude. Denver of course plans for their backs so yeah... he might be suitable there. Actually with his POTENTIAL he'd be awesome there I think.

Afraid the Hawks did not upgrade this position this offseason. Mo Morris and Jones in the backfield isn't going to spark fear into anyone. With the WR positions being really weak for the Hawks this year I see somthing like 8-8.

That's fair enough. I do think that Morris can compete for any team though... he's a real darkhorse.

If Seattle's Offensive Line performs like they should this year, these two could be in for some really big games. I'm not confident in this though.
