Personally, I think TC is a good guy who was loyal to his friend Owens in picking sides on '08, but is smart enough to know not to cross Romo and who doesn't have a personal axe to grind with Tony, anyway. If TC's not playing much, there's no need to look farther than the fact that the backs in front of him are just both better than he is.
And Barber's enough better that even playing with a significant injury it's a toss-up on whom to play. Personally, I think the coaches erred last year in not resting Barber and playing Choice, but with Felix hurt and in a situation where any one of those six games could have meant no return trip to the playoffs, I hardly blame them for sticking with the guy who got them there in the first place.
That is the thing, barber stepped up because jones injured himself against carolina. They would have had to roll into denver with just choice? I dont understand how that is on the coaches.
Barber stepped up and played injured and played decent in denver. CHoice looked exhausted against carolina.
and since everyone always points to stats with choice, Maybe there is something to the fact that he was exhausted from the monday night game against carolina and recieved more carries than barber and had less yards the next week against denver.
so maybe the staff saw first hand he couldnt handle the heavy load and didnt want to tax him all year, but use him in his third down role. Maybe that is why against kc he went back to getting a handful of carries and he broke the big run.
again, I dont know nor does anyone else. But barber had a torn quad and we had a big game in denver 14 days later and barber had a better day on the ground with less carries than choice. Maybe that is all their is to it, they view choice as a role player? Barber should not have been playing obviously but the team needed him because they had no felix and a tired it appeared choice, he answered the bell.
