Cowboys RB Jones could win starting job over Barber

According to the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, running back Felix Jones has a big chance to win the starting job over Marion Barber, who has been the starting running back in Cowboys jersey for the past two years. Felix’s winning chance is majorly resulted from his performance in the final six games of last season.

"That has been a consideration, and it certainly is a consideration," Jerry Jones told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "… Based on preliminary input from our coaches, you could certainly see Felix in there earlier."

Jones’ numbers in the final six games include 475 rushing yards, two touchdowns on 79 carries, 13 passes for 94 yards and 92 touches for 569 yards, while starter Barber had only 73 rushes for 281 yards and eight catches for 77 yards with a total of 81 touches for 358 yards in the same final six games.

Cowboys GM Jones said there will be not Ring of Honor ceremony this year

The Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said at a ceremony that there will be no Ring of Honor ceremony this year.

"But it will be every bit as emphasized in the new stadium as it was at Texas Stadium," Jones said.

The Cowboys have not inducted any players into the Ring of Honor since the Triplets - Michael Irvin, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith - were added on Sept. 19, 2005. And they have not found a place for the Tom Landry statue at the new Cowboys Stadium. But they have already transplanted the 12 oak trees from Texas Stadium in Irving to Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, costing about $200,000 and one month. The trees were transplanted to the the West plaza at the new stadium, an area which will be known as the Texas Stadium grove.
