NFL Football Season 2008- 09
Favorite Players by Team
NFC - Seattle Seahawks
Julius Jones
Criticized in Dallas for a perceived lack of toughness. Lucky for him, the fans up here are accustomed to seeing Shaun Alexander.
New starting running back Julius Jones prefers to operate from space rather than behind a road-grader.
At 211 pounds, Jones is more durable than he’s given credit for, though he likely won’t outperform his career-best ’06 season, when he posted 267 carries for 1,084 yards.
Jones is built a lot like Maurice Morris, Seattle’s longtime backup. Morris might have seen his playing time evaporate when the Seahawks became the latest team to sign bruising back T.J. Duckett.
They’re paying the former first-round pick $7 million over the first two years of his five-year deal, which means Duckett may finally be given a true chance to contribute
. Jones is more accustom to being a lone back, but there’s no way Seattle will allow burgeoning fullback Leonard Weaver to lose his role.
