Is Barber 100%?

[jrcowboys]

Guys:

When I watched Barber take the swing pass down the sideline I still didn't feel he was 100%. Earler in the year, before the injury, he looked almost like an elite back, but now I'm not sure.

What do you think?

BTW: Felix now looks to be 85-90% healthy, maybe 100% by the Giants game.

That's one thing that brings hope, our backs may be nearing 100% by the Giants game and none have been overused this year due to injuries.

Happy holidays!

I completely agree here...when I see Barber hit that 2nd gear once he gets in the clear it appears like he is running uncomfortably...definitely a hitch in his giddy-up..Hopefully over the next few weeks he will be completely healthy and we will have a formidable trio of healthy RBs heading into the postseason.

He's close--maybe the week and a half off will heal him

I noticed he didn't look quite right on that long catch and run, but he looked better than he has since the injury first occurred. I'm encouraged by it. With all three backs healthy and bringing something different to the table, we should be in good shape during this stretch drive.

I think he's getting better. Def not 100% yet, but almost. He def doesn't have the scoot he did prior to the injury.

He is still running like a crazed animal.

Last year he faded around game four or five.

This year it happened after game two.

He has been worn out by Garrett who used him as an elite everydown back instead of splitting the carries with Felix and Choice. I think the whole board is in denial if they think they are going to see the Barber of 2007 again for a whole season. Too many big blows into too small of a body.

If we want to maximize him, I would hold him to 10 touches a game in short yardage and the 4th quarter.

Is Barber 100%?

No but he will never admit it.

He is real, real close, with most likely the 3 day weekend giving him a few more days to rest to get alittle better. I would say he is about 88 % healthy. Has still just a hitch in that quad injury.
