we cant rely on marion barber doing that every down. look at last year's playoffs, Barber was gassed in the 4th

Now, that is a legitimate concern. Can Felix pass block? I don't know.
But, I do think that they picked up Tashard Choice to play. I think you will see Choice playing some time to back up Marion.
Last year, when Marion was resting and JJ was playing, the offense stalled. JJ's style of running was too weak.
So, perhaps, Choice plays to rest Marion. Choice can pass block and run between the tackles.
I would not be surprised to see Felix Jones used primarily as a receiver. His running plays will probably be mainly around the end (sweeps).
Dallas truly has a ton of options.
