NBC's Tiki Barber doesn't have a medical degree but he does have a master's in trying to avoid large, angry men whose mission in life was trying to squash him. Here's his take on Felix Jones' hamstring injury...

"A hamstring is chronic," Barber said on a NBC conference call looking ahead to Sunday night's Cowboys-Commanders game. Barber, part of the pre-game army of analysts, said Jones had a similar problem at Arkansas. Then he used the word "linger" and mentioned something about Jones having "imbalance in muscle structure."

And, by the way, Barber doesn't blame the Cowboys rushing woes on Jones' injury or Marion Barber. He thinks the issue is the offensive line which has had "problems opening lanes."

I don't recall hearing anything about Jones having hamstring issues at Arkansas. Can this be verified anywhere?

Good question. That's the first I have heard of it as well.

But then again, consider the imbecile who is the source of this information.

And what on earth is an "imbalance in muscle structure"?

I don't either.

And he certainly doesn't know anything about Felix having some kind of "imbalance in muscle structure".

Sounds like Tiki is talking out his *** again.

I agree 100% with Tiki!

 

[hendog]

I think Tiki has an "imbalance in muscle structure." He has an enlarged jaw muscle, which causes him to spew garbage excessively.

If Felix had problems with his hamstrings at Arkansas every self respecting Cowboys fan on the planet would have known about it. Not to mention the fact he would have had to miss games while at Arkansas if he actually did ever injure any of them.

Just a guess, but could Tiki be talking about the same thing that demarcus ware was going through this offseason? I remember Ware saying that he was restructuring his muscles? There was talk on this board about him doing that in the offseason?

 

[CrazyCowboy]

I do not ever remember Jones having a hammey issue at Ark.......is this guy for real?

 

[AsthmaField]

When he references an "imbalance of muscle structure", what he's talking about (I suppose) is that some athletes will have quad muscles that are disproportionately strong or weak in comparison to their hamstring muscles. If someone works too hard in the gym on their quads (the front of the thigh) and not enough on the hamstring (the back of the thigh)... it creates an imbalance of strength which can result in an above average amount of hamstring injuries.

That must be what Tiki is talking about although I don't see a problem with Felix based on his history. Plus, usually it is the bigger guys who have that problem... not the smaller, quicker types.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

This makes me wonder if he's as off base about this as he was about Eli who he pissed all over last year only to watch from the studios while Eli led his former team, along with obviously huge help from the defense and I'll give them the majority of the credit of course but still, to a Superbowl Championship.

I think Tiki is one of those guys that is just going to often talk out of his rear and be proven to have absolutely no idea what he's talking about.

 

[speedkilz88]

Just a few weeks ago the Dallas media was reporting that Felix has never had hamstring problems before.

 

[Reality]

Good question. That's the first I have heard of it as well.

But then again, consider the imbecile who is the source of this information.

And what on earth is an "imbalance in muscle structure"?

I thought I read a quote somewhere from Felix right after this happened where he said that he had never had this problem before.

[kmd24]

And what on earth is an "imbalance in muscle structure"?

Tiki knows hamstrings.

 

[bootyhunta]

I heard Felix say on Brad Sham's radio show a couple of weeks ago (before the Tampa game) that this was the first time that he had been out with an injury.

First time, as in first time ever, going all the way back to high school.

Good question. That's the first I have heard of it as well.

Top heavy is nice in the female, but Tiki believes it causes hamstring problems in the male species?

 

[Big Country]

Tiki knows hamstrings.

my eyes!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!

:laugh1:

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Someone should call Tiki out on this garbage.

FWST Blog: Felix Jones Update

Felix Jones update

Chatted with Cowboys running back Felix Jones a little bit yesterday about his injury. He still has not returned to practice since suffering a pulled hamstring at Arizona and missed his first game against St. Louis

Jones will not practice this week and will miss Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Wade Phillips said Felix has a four-week injury. That has him returning after the bye week at Washington on Nov. 16. Jones said he has never had a hamstring injury so he can't determine how soon he could return.

Jones says the hamstring is feeling good, but it has not been tested yet. So there's probably not much of a chance for him returning anytime sooner than the Washington game.

- Rick Herrin

---------------Googled Felix's injuries at Arkansas and could only find that he had a thigh bruise late in the year of the 2007 season.

Good question. That's the first I have heard of it as well.

But then again, consider the imbecile who is the source of this information.

And what on earth is an "imbalance in muscle structure"?

what Tiki means is that muscles that work opposite of one another, for example, the quadriceps and hamstrings, which flex and extend the leg...one muscle group becomes stronger than its compliment causing premature fatigue/cramps and or injury...problem is the quadriceps are so much stronger than the hamstrings and running backs in particular must make sure that they keep a good balance.

I speak from experience because i used to do leg presses for cycling. I ended up with quadriceps so strong that my hamstrings gave me fits at night after a hard ride. This is serious.
