How many yards rushing? Yards from scrimmage? TDs?
I am really excited to see what Saquon can do in his second year behind a better line in an offense that will unquestionably run through him.
What are your predictions?
yet. It's not exactly a reincarnation of the Rams lines that blocked for Dickerson or the Electric company that blocked for OJ.
Second, defenses will have their sights set on stopping SB 1st and foremost, until Eli tears some one or two teams up through the air, you can bank on that shit game 1 down in Dallas. Bet the house on it. Is this OL good enough to handle a D stacked against the run? Lordy that remains to be seen.
Has a reputation for running a good O from Minn. He better learn from last year with SB. Please show play action on 1st/ 2nd down to keep the D honest. The loss of OBJ shouldn’t prevent an NFL team from completing a GD !! - first yard on first down pass to the TE with a QB pulling in $ 20 million. For fucks sake. Dallas is literally going to be laughing at our O the first series while looking at Eli stating- we aren’t scared of you whatsoever.
in his 2nd season in the NFL. The Giants are going to run the ball a ton and this line is going to help Barkley a great deal. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see him rip off a 1700 yard season and if everything breaks right, a 2000 yard season isn't out of the realm of possibility.
If Engram can play like he did the end of the year. He had almost 600 Â
I'm sure his numbers will be excellent, but if the result of teams putting eight in the box and shadowing him with a safety is that our receivers all have career years at his expense, then who cares if Barkley breaks no records.
Shurmur will need to find creative ways to get him the ball in space, but part of that is being creative about getting the ball to other playmakers when Barkley is the focus of the defense.
BUT the receiving threat has diminished. Teams will stack the box against the Giants this coming season for sure. I, a fan of the run game, am thinking the Giants will have to prove they can still throw the ball to keep defenses honest. Their pass game will be short to intermediate routes so get use to that now. Lot's of dump-offs. There's nothing wrong with that and I don't know why people complain so much when it happens. It still gets the ball down the field and as long as the passes are caught, it can be as good as running the ball. The Patriots have thrived on this for Brady's whole career.
However, teams were already stacking the box last year towards the end since OBJ wasn't playing. Against the Redskins (2nd game) I counted up to 10 in the box to try to stop Barkley and they still couldn't do it. Give this man some daylight and he will still average 5 yards per IMHO. As always, I fear the Giants will still not favor the run like they should.
A legit deep threat would go a long way (only a little punny). Can Cody Latimer lock down that role?

Bingo. No matter how good your OL is, it's math - if you have more guys to tackle than they have to block, you're probably going to win. We need our wides to step up, that will make teams think twice about stacking the box.
All teams will be stacking to stop him, until Eli and the passing game Â
Sky = limit
700-800 receiving yards
20 TD’s
Obviously not rooting for this but it's probably more likely than him gettin 3,000 yards from scrimmage like some are suggesting.

This seems within reach and realistic

What the hell dude?
I've seen countless Giants get thrown under the bus for not meeting fans unrealistic expectations after a strong start. Hope that doesn't happen here.

I would expect SB's numbers to be slightly better than last year.

Come on, admit it. That is exactly what you're rooting for.
