Will Cowboys ever make full use of Jones?

"Felix Jones will be dwarfed by Chris Johnson's formidable shadow when the Cowboys and the Titans take the field today.

Whether that's still the case at the end of the game depends largely on play-caller Jason Garrett.

Dallas used the 22nd pick in the 2008 draft toJones over Rashard Mendenhall and Johnson.

Mendenhall went to Pittsburgh at No. 23. Tennessee then grabbed Johnson.

"We had all three on the board and hoped one would be there," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. "We had one of them higher than the others. We were lucky, as was Pittsburgh, as was Dallas."

But somebody was unlucky that day: Jones.

While Johnson already has two 100-yard games this season after amassing a league-high 2,006 yards last season, and Mendenhall is second in the league in rushing with 411 yards and owns a robust 4.6 yards per carry average, Jones has yet to make an impact"
