Should've kept McAdoo. Then he wouldn't even have to adjust to a new formation!
It'll be interesting to see if they keep a traditional FB or use Engram/Ellison in that role and to see how quickly Barkley adjust to having a lead blocker.

It's remarkable how frequently this (or some variation of it) gets repeated. The Giants used several formations under McAdoo. It was a personnel group (11 personnel) that there was an extremely high usage frequency for.

Barkley was in a more pro-style offense as a freshman, so it's not like the concept will be foreign to him.
Is it significant that most of the tryout players are in the last half
2017
Shotgun: 460 passing atts
Under Center: 110 passing atts
Darkwa Shotgun: 37 atts
Darkwa Under Center: 134 atts
Gallman Shotgun: 36 atts

Vereen Shotgun: 37 atts
Vereen Under Center: 36 atts
Perkins Shotgun: 9 atts
Perkins Under Center: 26 atts Total: 30.5% atts from shotgun (119 atts shotgun; 271 under center)

Vereen Under Center: 13 atts
Perkins Shotgun: 48 atts
Perkins Under Center: 64 atts Total: 47.3% atts from shotgun (168 atts shotgun; 187 under center)
84% of Eli's passes the last 2 seasons have been from shotgun.
So yes, the Giants ran it quite a bit from shotgun under McAdoo, especially in 2016. For a quick comparison, the Pats ran it out of shotgun just 56 times in 2017 or 13.3% of their total runs (randomly picked the Pats).
(numbers per pro-football-reference)

Penn State's RPO, which they used often. It was horrible. First off, Penn State's O-Line couldn't block a grandma and to have that much time elapse while McSorley decides to keep it or not meant that there was at least defensive player in the backfield every single snap. Second, whenever McSorley did decide to give the ball to Saquon, Saquon didn't have a ton of room to run.
And yes, the Eagles did use the RPO effectively, but I think we would all benefit from under center, Power-I football. Much easier on the eyes (and the players) and it would allow Saquon to know in advance that he's going to run with it and plan and foresee accordingly.

"Six-four punter Jacob DeMaio from Weber State is the tallest punter I have ever seen here with the Giants."
I guess Schmeelk is too young to have seen Dave Jennings, who was 6'4".

Saquon Barkley on the biggest difference from #PennState and the #Giants: Its the playbook. But, I learn things like this really quick. In college, we ran out of the shotgun all the time, here we run out of the I, but its similar.
Which I hated. Fuck the RPO
Huh?
I hate the run pass option
I got that. I'm not sure whether you meant Penn St. or the Giants. I ask because I have seen people incorrectly use RPO for other things that aren't RPOs. I am not criticizing. I just wanted clarification.
Plus, why do you hate RPOs? The Eagles rode that shit to a Super Bowl.
Penn State's RPO, which they used often. It was horrible. First off, Penn State's O-Line couldn't block a grandma and to have that much time elapse while McSorley decides to keep it or not meant that there was at least defensive player in the backfield every single snap. Second, whenever McSorley did decide to give the ball to Saquon, Saquon didn't have a ton of room to run.
And yes, the Eagles did use the RPO effectively, but I think we would all benefit from under center, Power-I football. Much easier on the eyes (and the players) and it would allow Saquon to know in advance that he's going to run with it and plan and foresee accordingly.
Holy crap that photo of Barkley his legs look like tree trunks chiseled from granite can't wait to see him play !
