Actually, he's been a little bit of a punk this year, with subtle knocks of Coughlin in the press. The reason I say he's a little punky is because he's had the best years of his career under Coughlin. Before the coach taught him how to hold the ball, Tiki was a fumble machine. Lots of yardage, but lots of fumbles too.
But, I forgive him for it. Tiki got where he is by hard work. He's small, not really a power back, but he's had 20-25 carries a game since like forever. They list him at 200 lbs but I doubt he goes that. He's smart to get out now while he still has his health.
We'll miss him, but they have this monster 265 lb. runner with 4.6 speed named Brandon Jacobs waiting in the wings.
I still can't fathom the playoff tiebreaker, but I think you might get to watch Barber one more "real" game (he'll also be in the Pro Bowl).
