According to one team source, Tom Coughlin told Tiki Barber that his outburst was "inappropriate and unacceptable." For the second time in the last 11 months, Barber was highly critical of the coaching staff, this time in the wake of the Giants' 26-10 loss in Jacksonville. After carrying only 10 times in the game, Barber said his lack of use left him feeling "insignificant," and that Coughlin's excuses for abandoning the running game were "a cop-out" and "a slap in the face."
