The_Slamman Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 One of the best parts of that run is Romo taking out Vince Wilfork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best friend died of heat stroke in summer of 2006. He came home from work (worked on oil pipelines in Kansas and Oklahoma) went to sleep on the couch, never woke up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Barber was an outstanding runner for this team and honoring his memory with talk of some of our greatest runs in team history - including Barbers Barbarian runs just seemed far more positive than just mourning his death. After my 3 year hiatus for health, I guess I just prefer to celebrate the life than be sad over death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to this day still hate in the coaching staff when they changed things up facing MYG in the playoffs that one year. Previous in the two wins over them we held Barber back tell 2nd half.

He was outstanding in the second half. He and Julius Jones made quite the pair for a little bit. On their own, either could be very hit or miss, and hot or cold. But together, they were quite the complimentary pair. Barber's second half - especially 4th quarter - running closed out a lot of tight games for those Romo-led squads, and shut down a lot of hopes for second half rallies in probably just as many games. He was fierce at the finish, reliable (not good, but reliable) catching out of the backfield, and has some of this teams most historic runs to his credit. I truly believe it was Jason Garrett who ruined his career, forcing him into a feature role and pushing for Felix Jones over Mendenhall in the draft when Julius left. It was not a role suited for Marion. He was the football version of Mariano Rivera, the guy you call on to seal the deal...not the guy you call on to make the deal. Either way, too soon, too young can be said just as easily about his career as it can be about his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
