It takes one to know one.

Tiki Barber had a terrible fumbling problem early in his career with the Giants but he solved it and turned into a sure-handed and entirely dependable running back. Ahmad Bradshaw is going through some of those same issues, and Barber says Bradshaw can find the same cure he did.

“Fumbling is all about ball awareness and having a sense of, not only mentally, but physically where the ball is,” Barber said today. “It’s not just Ahmad, it’s every back in the NFL. You’ve seen Ricky Williams over the last couple of weeks put a few on the ground. It happens when you don’t have a dedicated focus on keeping the ball in front of you and, more importantly, keeping your elbow to your side. It’s easily fixable and he has the best coach to do it — Jerald Ingram was instrumental in fixing my problem.”
