After showing up to camp out of shape and fumbling away the opening kickoff against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, the Felix Jones fan club is dwindling fast in Dallas.
↵However, there's still at least one member, and he's the only one that really counts.
↵In a radio interview on Tuesday morning, Cowboys owner/GM/assistant head coach/PR spokesman Jerry Jones re-affirmed his confidence in Felix:
↵↵↵"Felix has returned a lot of kickoffs in his time - All-American twice in college as a kickoff returner. We have over the years been reluctant to use him as a kickoff returner because we didn't want to risk injury, but we've decided this year to use him as a kickoff returner. He should be a great asset for us. That's the way it remains."
↵
Here's how much confidence the Dallas coaching staff has in Felix: he has 1 carry for 1 yard so far in 2012.
↵He was taken two spots ahead of Chris Johnson in the 2008 NFL Draft. That definitely has no weight in Jerry's decision-making process.
