Phillips: We need to get Felix Jones more involved

Felix Jones has flashed his big-play ability with touchdowns in his first two NFL games. The Cowboys plan to give him more opportunities on offense.

Jones has only 12 carries, nine of which came with Marion Barber watching from the sideline after bruising his ribs in Cleveland. He's averaged six yards per carry and been an ankle tackle away from breaking a big one twice.

The coaches don't necessarily have a certain amount of touches per game in mind, but they know they need to get the rookie the ball more often.

Ya think Wade? I think a few more carries in the Philly game would have helped the offense to move the chains better.

They need to use the plays they supposedly was working on in training camp to get him involved more, because it's stupid to have this weapon and not use him.
