I hope Felix gets 1,000 yards combined this season.

I would hope for more like 1500 or 2000 combined since I expect him to contribute running, receiving and returning but that's just me.

I was thinking of strictly yards from scrimmage, but yeah you add his KR numbers he might get to 1,500-2,000 total yards. That would be a nice impact year for Felix.

I just hope he is productive in both running and pass recieving. I have a feeling he will not be used as a returner.

What makes you say that? Wasn't he the Special Teams player of the year last season or just in his conference at least? I'd like to see him and Pacman back their and Pacman on punts as well.

I hope they do use him as a returner, but Dallas is notorious for not using running backs on kick returns. ( Running backs that get significant playing time) They will probably use one of those other speed demons, but I do hope I am wrong.

I would love to see him return some punts this season. Imagine all that spped!

I suspect you're probably right about not returning kicks Griz. I might be wrong but i doubt they'll risk their number 1 pick.

I think they will at least give him a test drive on punt returns, but what he must be able to do is pick up blitzes.  It is one of the hardest things for rookie RB's.  He has natural skill once he gets the ball so I am excited to see what he looks like wearing blue and silver, busting through the line at high speed.

I know what you mean. I am really looking forward to watching this guy play for the Cowboys. It makes waiting for next season even tougher! 

I wonder if orlando scandrick can return kickoffs, cause he wont be seing significant playing time in the secondary anytime soon and he ran a 4.32 at the combine so if he has some return skills he can definately take it to the house. does anyone know if he returned kicks at Boise State?

If they don't, I'll be pissed.  His skill at kick returns is one of the main things he brings to the team.  He's their second back.  If they won't risk their second back on kick returns that's just sad.
