The Giants insist on running Barkley up the middle, and it isn’t working.

Giants are awful to begin with, but they're awful with how they use Barkley. Never any attempts to get him in space and he's hit at or behind the LOS on just about every carry.

The Giants just went for a two-point conversion in the 3rd quarter.

CHASING. POINTS. :eek:

Offensive pass interference on the Giants’ receiver negated the catch, so they went for the extra point. They missed the kick.
 
Barkley has never looked the same since his injury. Likely won't until 2020
 
Daniel Jones is the leading rusher for the Giants right now. 2 rushes for 9 yards.
 
Even the announcers are pointing out that Barkley has zero chance on every carry. He's been hit at or behind the line on 10 of his 13 carries.

Their young QB looks like a stud tho.

They get a few lineman they will be decent. I still say 26 isn’t 100%. I would just shut him down for the season.
 
13 attempts for 1 yard now. The fact that Daniel Jones actually threw for 4 TD is a clue that the Jets are keying on Saquon.

Saquon is falling into a trap of dancing around too much. Yeah, the defense is in the back field every run too as soon as the ball is handed off.
 
13 carries for 1 yard. How the hell is that even possible. What the heck is going with the Giants. Barkley one weak spot is running better the tackles.
 
I watched the last few seconds of that game (they cut to it after ATL-NO was over) and on the first play of the last series, I saw Barkley swing out, and I'm thinking, great idea, throw it to him! The QB, who had about 17 seconds on the clock to start, wasted six seconds looking around for a guy and finally found him at about the LOS, for no gain. Barkley never touched the ball on that series. What a waste. :(

He hasn’t looked the same since Jones took over at QB. It may be the injury, but all they do is run him up he middle to soften up the defense and Jones almost never passes to him. Eli read defenses better and knew when to change the play to get Barkley running...Eli was not good, but Barkley was a better RB when Eli was the QB.

A stud? Really? He’s got baby hands...fumbles at the drop of a hat. Doesn’t read defenses for shit. He leads the league in fumbles and I think he’s set some kind of record...his hands are too small to hold onto the ball.
 
Shurmur may be a worse playcaller than Widdle Bwain Wicky.

There was 1 point in the broadcast that they were talking about Barkley's yards and production before the injury and then the 2 games since.
And I swear to god the next series they highlight how, after Solder went out there have been 3 new OL in the last few games.
Wow so ya think the 3 new OL on an already crappy OL might have effected how Barkley has looked the last 3 games, Injury or not.
Just mind numbingly stupid.

My comment was in response to daniel Jones’ yardage
Saquon on the brain. Anyway, Jones ended up with 3 carries for 20 yards with a long of 11 yards. He didn't have a 25 yard run in the game.
 
He's a great back for the right offense- but he's not a power up the middle type runner, and trying to make him one looks like bad strategy to me.
