Remember that Tiki put 200+ on us when Cornelius Griffin was hurt. It's obvious that our D is much superior with Grif manning the middle.
Looking at Barber's 2 games against us last year (with Griffin in the lineuup):
18 carries for 42 yards (2.3 average)
15 carries for 38 yards (2.5 average)
Zero TDs for both games. I love our chances against backup tackles in a LOUD FedEx field. Limit Barber, and our D tees off on Eli much as it did against Bledsoe.
