JJ had one good game against us.. playing a Seahawks D that surrendered more yards on the ground than any other (by about 30-40 yards if I remember correctly)
That game overrated him for all eternity.. I remember hearing Cowboy fans boast how he was the second coming of Emmitt.. when really he never had a game like that the rest of his time in Dallas.
JJ is a very average back. Edgerrin is better in pass protection and a veteran presence on a young team. It's not a bad move at all.
Right, he just ran for 150, 149, 194, 100, 122, 116, 106, 112 in the playoff loss.
JJ was slowed down by an ankle injury. And he wasnt overrated by that 1 game,it was him running for over 800 yds in 7 games AFTER shoulder surgery.
The ankle injury is what made him more hesitant and less like his rookie self.
