The pre-workout weigh-ins produced one surprising development for the Dallas Cowboys. Felix Jones, the speed back, is heavier than Marion Barber, the power back.
``It's hard to believe,'' coach Wade Phillips said. ``You might have won a bet on that.''
Jones said he reported at 218 pounds. Phillips said Barber came in at at 214 pounds. Each player changed his weight in the off-season. Barber dropped about eight pounds to add quickness. Jones gained about five pounds through a strength program.
``Both of them really look good,'' Phillips said.
