The Facts:
Jones isn't deaf to those who say Marion Barber should be the starter, but Jones knows he can do more. "I have to stay patient and not try to press too much. When you're in there for two series and then you come out, you start to press a little bit," Jones said. "Maybe that's what I'm doing. Maybe not. Whatever it is, I'll figure it out and get it right."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jones averages 3.2 yards per carry and has rushed for 98 yards on 31 carries with no touchdowns. Barber, Jones' "backup," averages 6.2 yards per carry and has rushed for 154 yards on 25 carries and has scored three times. And HC Wade Phillips said he has no intention of changing the running-back-by series approach. ... Yet. As SI.com insider Peter King put it: "Anyone who watches football has to know Marion Barber is better than Julius Jones." We couldn't agree more.
