T. Barber Fumble-prone...

[TRUTH87]

Lets hit this guy hard! He'll put the ball on the ground all day!! everyday!! HE FUMBLED 4 TIMES in my MADDEN GAME hahaha... 4 times aint gonna happen on Sunday but, I am sure he'll fumble atleast ONCE....

GO COWBOYS!! WITH THE TURNOVER BATTLE!!!

 

[Hiero]

actually hes been pretty good since Coughlin came and changed the way he holds the ball, but I am sure Roy can still jar it loose.

If you will check the stats you will probably find he is not as fumble prone as he once was. Old Tom was able to coach that aspect of his game out of him. It was a simple matter of changing the way he was carrying the ball.......Isn't it amazing what a good coach can do.

 

[TRUTH87]

yeah he did change the way he holds the ball. now who was it that fumbled the ball this year @ dallas on the 1 yd. line? (Hit by Roy) was that tiki?

I had no chance to watch the game...

I can't recall the RB's name......but it was not Tiki

 

[TRUTH87]

Just hope that wet ball, slips out!

It was the rookie back Jacobs.

 

[Cowboy Junkie]

I hate to say this ,but I am worried about our Barber fumbling more than theirs , although Tiki is not a fumbler anymore ,he is due for one or two fumbles...

 

[Cbz40]

It was the rookie back Jacobs.

Thanks BP.....as always you come to my rescue

Add to the fact Jacobs outweighs Roy by at least 30 pounds. Roy's hits pack a wallop.

The bigger queston is whether we will continue to use MBIII as the red zone back given his propensity to fumble. I don't have much confidence in our line's ability to open holes for either back against a stingy run defense. Hoping Crayton plays and is a factor in the short passing game.

Maybe if Roy can hit him in the head hard enough to make Tiki think he's still playing for Fossil (cq), Barber will switch his grip back and become fumble-prone once more. Otherwise, we're better off hoping Manning continues throwing interceptions.

You forget that Jacobs was hit 3-4 times before Roy got too him. But Roy still got a good hit.

 

[AdamJT13]

Mike Anderson hadn't fumbled in nine games before Roy hit him last week.

Brandon Jacobs.

What's amazing is that Fassel, in all his years there, never figured it out. Or Sean Payton for that matter. Or whomever the RB coach was on the Giants. I remember Fassel being interviewed one time and he basically said there was nothing he could do - Tiki didn't want to fumble it. So Fassel clearly thought it wasn't a fixable problem.

Coughlin & Parcells are Old School.......Teachers 1st......then coach.

 

[ghst187]

Tiki's new ball carrying technique has really eliminated his fumblitis....which is a shame,
it sure does look ******** though. I'm surprised he's been able to maintain his speed with that stupid looking carry.

 

[wsmith_1972]

There's always weakness to every technique.


Tiki exposes his arm to serious hits carry the ball like that. A couple of helmets to that arm and the ball will come lose.

payton had a fumbling problem until halas straightened him out, supposedly
