Rookie of the Year came under fire from former Giants running back Tiki Barber. The current Hall of Fame candidate said Barkley’s pass blocking was so poor he did not deserve to be on the field all three downs. What had to be even tougher to hear was Barber saying the third-year running back was a big back who didn’t like to hit. After practice on Thursday, Barkley refused to snap back at Barber, saying he had the right to speak his mind. He even admitted he missed a block or two. He also said the criticism didn’t bother him. “When I say I don’t care, I truly don’t care about other people’s opinions,” Barkley said. “I know you can ask my teammates, anyone in this building, they won’t question my toughness.”
