When
i hope they give him and the offense the 1st 1/2. I’m fairly certain no matter what 26 says, he would love to own the record, his lineman would love to be a giant part bit, and F U Dickerson.

I had RedZone on and did not watch the actual game so I have no idea if the topic was broached during the actual broadcast.
The discussions that I've heard on sports talk radio as well as some articles that I have read about the setting of new records this year seem to avoid the topic.
And that goes for the NFL and NCAA also. With the additional games added by expanding the playoffs and CCG in college football and expanding the NFL to 17 games, the context at the way these records were achieved need to be acknowledged.

The game has changed drastically since the Dickerson/OJ days. Running backs dominated the game and passing was secondary. O lineman were chosen more for run blocking abilities. Tight ends were mostly blockers.
Conversely, defenses were designed to stop the run. Most were 4-5 down linemen and now most are 3 linemen with hybrid edge rushers. Ds had four linebackers and a safety that was a strong run supporter.
Now two linebackers or even one true lb. Lots of stunts and blitzes that allows for big runs once a back gets to the second level.
Very hard to compare, like comparing Ruth to Aaron or Judge. Different era, different game.
All that……Barkley is one of the best ever. Just a shame he was sent to purgatory for too long. Hope he stays healthy and does this for at least five years so we can all enjoy his craft and the world sees his true talent.
It would be interesting to know how many games Dickerson got pulled out of early, because his team had a comfortable lead?
I’m guessing Hurts isn’t going to play and Pickett may not….if those two don’t, no way should they play Barkley. The Giants will just load everyone in the box and Barkley will only get 101 yards if he carries it 35 times.
Don’t be so sure. There is a history of teams with a bye struggling in next game. Both in regular season and playoffs.
And Igglez get a bye so that would mean two weeks off And few played all game yesterday do they are rested
I look for them to play most starters until mid second quarter and then first possession of second half.
If Hurtz is fine he needs to play or he will off almost a month.
No, Minnesota’s win yesterday locked them into #2.
