Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones apparently told someone in the press that it is possible–albeit a longhot–that Adam “Pacman” Jones could return with the team this season.
Jones, and head coach Wade Phillips, promised to revamp the team and rid the locker room of trouble. So, it’s a bit confusing to hear Jones is even considering, even so slightly, to bring Pacman Jones back to the team.
Maybe we’re the ones who are unfair. Maybe we don’t really knowo who this guy is. But one thing I do know is he didn’t show very much talent last season. His good days with the Titans may very well be over. He was not a punt return threat. His corner play was very average, and at times, below average.

He was Second on the team for Passes Defended, and lead the team most of the season. I would hardly say he was terrible.
Haha yeah I was going to say the same thing sensorglitch. He finished 2nd having not played most of the games.
Granted, (here I go being objective and arguing both sides) he was tested the most, AND got burned a couple of times… But I still wouldn’t mind the guy as a backup at corner.
He looked awful in Pros vs. Joes but hey, I think what we’re hearing is that Jerry might give him a spot on the 80-man. If guys like Stanback get a shot then so should Pac, but he REALLY needs to stop being so retarded off the field and try getting a haircut that doesn’t make him look like Blade.
Guys who hate Pacman though, admit you didn’t see some of the great, heads up, football smart plays he DID make last season. Just admit it.
Now you STILL have a pretty good argument as to whether those can outweigh his negatives.
And despite ESPN and Star-Telegram reports there seems to be no interest according to the Cowboys today…
I still think he MIGHT be able to earn a spot on the 80-man and maybe eventually the practice team. But he’s not going to do that, he won’t work hard to get back, we already know that. Some team’s gonna do what the Cowboys did and hopefully it works for the guy. I hope he gets his life together.
Who else is going to return punts for us? We dont want Felix Jones there..Crayton clearly doesnt like that role n he is too slow..when you see pacman returning punts you see enthusiasm and energy..he is one tackel away from breaking it…just watch
This is not about Pac man but about a WR the Cowboys can still secure the rights to, Corey Surrency. Tall WR about the same size as Randy Moss. 4.48 speed. Just finished watching him on youtube. You can see him dominate lower copitition as a Junior college player. And Make some amazing grabs at FSU. I say the Cowboys should at least give him a look.
Yup we do need some receivers. I still think Andrew Hawkins wins a role as a punt returner for our Cowboys though.
Why exactly don’t we want Felix Jones returning punts, Erik? He’s so good in the open field and he’s a burner. We want the ball in his hands right then.
But Andrew Hawkins will return punts and kicks….
Lol JK.
Felix is a perfect return man. He’s fast and he’s strong. He has a rough season with injuries and suddenly he’s fragile… I don’t get it?
im not saying he is fragile but do you really want him there at all times? i love felix and i think he is tough but he needs more reps as a rb not a punt returner and he is more likely to get injured returning punts then he is returning kicks or at rb..i just dont want to go another season without him again
I do want him there most of the time, if not all the time. He’s so dangerous in the open. We have two other extremely competent running backs in Marion Barber and Tashard Choice, so why not? Those two aren’t going to be returning kicks anytime soon, so let Felix get some looks at kick/punt returns. Marion Barber is still the starter right now, meaning limited carries. He’s a great change of pace back, but he’s still not going to see much more than 12 carries per game anyway.
The formation I’m really itching to see is the Razorback. I’ve been reading that Felix Jones has been taking some snaps in that formation. It’d be killer to see Felix in the shotgun, Barber standing next to him, Crayton or Stanback in the wing (both former quarterbacks) and any assortment of receivers/tight ends (our top two TE’s are nearly uncoverable). As a defensive coordinator, I’d be looking for a change of underwear.
What’s the value in a formation that takes Tony Romo off the field?
Sorry bud, I don’t know that the defense will have any problems when they know it’s coming.
And Felix should return every kick and every punt. ESPECIALLY punts. Punt coverage isn’t as easy as covering kickoffs for the defense, make a couple of guys miss and you can be gone.
Felix CAN make guys miss.
I see the argument that you’re trying to make, KD. I’m guessing you think that, in running the Razorback, we’re only going to run the ball. That’s not how that particular formation works. The great thing about the Razorback/Wildcat/whatever you want to call it is that you don’t know where the play is coming. Look at how the Dolphins ran it. They had Ricky Williams AND Ronnie Brown carry the ball out of the Wildcat. AND they let Brown throw it every now and then too.The Dolphins even ran a few plays with Chad Pennington split out wide or in the wing. Tony Romo is athletic enough to line up in the wing, take the handoff and make a throw on the run. It’s even better that we have some former quarterbacks who can line up in the shotgun and throw it OR pull it down and run. The formation is, by design, unpredictable.
Yeah I hear ya. We have two very capable pseudo-quarterbacks – however with someone like Tony Romo — I would think you would want him on the field.
We’ll see though, Miami did rock some defenses with it — and we have twice the talent, I think.
