Speaking on the fact he carried the ball only 3 times as the Cowboys season ended versus the eventual Super Bowl Champions “I took that hard,” Julius Jones said. “I’ll never forget that, ever.”
Looking to become a successful every down back and revive his once promising career in Seattle, “I definitely have a chip on my shoulder,” he said. “I’m going to carry it every single year, every single practice, every single game. It’s not going anywhere until I can prove what kind of back that I am and kind of redeem myself from the embarrassment that they have kind of put me through.”
The Seahawks have yet to separate Jones from longtime backup Maurice Morris on the depth chart. Morris remains an option. Fullback Leonard Weaver will touch the ball some as a runner and receiver. Holmgren said he hasn’t decided how to use free-agent addition T.J. Duckett:
“Is he a fullback, is he a halfback, do I use him in short yardage, and who comes out of the game if I do that?”
Pro Bono Outlook: I believe in Jones for some reason. I have no doubt he will be the feature back in Holmgrens system and be a decent fantasy play in 2008.
