Slaton to emulate Tiki (1 Viewer)

[Raiderfan32904]

Adam Schefter, of ESPN.com, reports Houston Texans RB Steve Slaton spent the week studying game tape of former New York Giants RB Tiki Barber. Barber had a fumbling problem earlier in his career, so Slaton is studying how Barber changed his technique to solve the problem.

Last week, this was posted as a joke, that Slaton would copy Tiki's exagerrated open field running style. Now it is apparently coming true. no joke.

Emulate Tiki? You mean he's going to retire and tick off most of his ex teammates while they get a ring without him?

Hey, that carrying style worked for Tiki. But he took a while to get used to it.

Slaton's fantasy owners, and the Houston brass certainly hopes so! I think he gets another shot next season to show he is something special...and then the jury will be out.

It's a bit of a stretch to proclaim that Slaton will "emulate Tiki".

All we know right now is that the coaching staff gave Slaton some videos of Tiki. We don't know what Slaton did with them, or if Slaton will adopt any part of Barber's style.

Tiki's ball carrying style seemed stupid at first but worked. Ahman tried it for a time but he abandoned it. Doubt if it'll work but Slaton does need to secure the ball better.

He put them on his "to watch" list, just after the pron.
