Rockdeep Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Do you Entertain Tiki? Yes... During Practice and work outs to see if he has ANYTHING left. He has been off and you can say he has rust, but he has been off. There is little risk on the Skins part to try him out and actually do so by having him have contact, not just run thud practices like Larry Johnson and realize once real games start he's not what you want. Will it work out. Probably not. But why not try it, even with the piss poor history we have of using other teams old junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Do you Entertain Tiki? Yes... I think any offer given, by any team, would entertain Tiki...he's 35, he needs the money. At least, I know it would entertain me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible_Red40 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I wouldn't entertain it at all, but this stat chart in Peter Queens article yesterday entertained me a bit. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/peter_king/03/14/labor/2.html What would you say if I told you that Tiki Barber, in his last three years of football (at 29, 30 and 31) was more durable and more productive than Adrian Peterson was in his past three years (at 23, 24 and 25). It's true. Barber carried more times, for more yards and more yards per carry (5.0 for Barber, 4.6 for Peterson) in those respective periods. My point is not that Barber, who turns 36 next month, would be a success coming out of retirement after four years away from the game. (With his TV career in mothballs, Barber announced last week that he intends to try to return to football if anyone will sign him.) My point is that Barber averaged 110 rushing yards per game after turning 30 -- the highest average rushing figure over the 2005 and '06 seasons for any back in football -- and, well, it wouldn't be a total waste of time to bring him to training camp for backfield insurance. On a non-guaranteed contract, of course. How the careers of Barber (age 29-31) and Peterson (age 23-25) compare: Barber Peterson Games 48 - 47 Carries 1006 - 960 Receptions 164 - 100 Total touches 1170 - 1060 Avg. touches/games 24.4 - 22.6 Avg. yards per carry 5.0 - 4.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be in shape, and is more injury-prone four years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooterman Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Agree completely! I'd be surprised if ANY team signed the guy. I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Well, thanks to this thread, I'd say Tiki is at least "entertaing" the Skins fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetimmysmith Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Stop fooling yourselves. We all know that he will be brought in to have "the tires kicked". If you think he won't be checked out, just remember that this staff actually had Larry Johnson and Joey Galloway on the 53 man roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
