New York Giants Tiki Barber is TICKED OFF
Yep, and he just might reconsider retiring and sign with another team just to punish the Giants for their stupidity next season.
Yep, after New York Giants tight end, Jeremy Shockey, declared that they were ”out-coached,” early in the season, franchise running back Tiki Barber is now criticizing the decisions made by their head coach Tom Coughlin during their loss to the unheralded team of the Jacksonville Jaguars on NFL Monday Night Football.
You see, the New York Giants opted to go with the passing game last Monday. That’s not bad right? Well, not if you have a dumb quarterback in Eli Manning throwing more interceptions than first down completions.
Such was the case in Jacksonville. And you can bet your ass running back Tiki Barber ain’t happy about it.
”I’m not here to be a cheerleader,” Tiki Barber said. ”I’m not here to be someone who fades into the background. My job is to help this team win. The opportunities I get will dictate that. If it gets to a point where I feel I’m not doing anything, then generally our team is in trouble.”
Barber heard Tom Coughlin’s decision of going with the passing game more. Afterwards, he called the same decisions a ”cop-out” and a ‘’slap in the face.”
“We’re not scared of anyone,” the New York Giants franchise running back said. “We’ve played against the best defenses in this league and we’ve run the ball and done effective things against them. I think you put yourself halfway to failure when you say we can’t do something because of another team’s personnel. It’s a slap in the face of me, it’s a slap in the face of my front five guys. We don’t take to that very kindly.”
“You say you have a couple of (bad) plays early on and you just can’t do it anymore? That’s a cop-out. The one thing you have to do as a team, whether it’s passing the ball or running the ball, is establish an identity, believe in something and have faith in it, and do it over and over again – in some ways dare teams to stop you. We haven’t done that. And I think that’s why we’ve faltered the last couple of games.”
The New York Giants visit the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Can the Giants bounce back with a win in Tennessee? All Star Sportsbook has the odds.
