Saquon Barkley and his play calling

gregindaytona : 11/11/2019 11:02 am
OK it’s time to talk about our head coach and the way he is using Saquon Barkley. First of all he needs to stop calling the offensive plays because I’m not very impressed. Second he needs to go back and look at Saquon's plays last year where he was an unbelievable runner and start putting some of those players into the Giants offense. They need to get him the ball outside of the pocket for god sake. The one best run he had yesterday was when he was outside I don’t get it he’s running right up the middle and our offensive line is not helping. They need get him more plays outside the pocket. I also realize that Jones is a rookie and he’s learning but he only looks at one receiver. Slayton caught all those passes and that’s where he want to more often instead of looking for Ellison and Tate. I know our defense is lacking but I sure do miss the old giant defenses that used to take the ball away and give us turnovers to help us win. I’m just looking for progress this year so I’ve got something to hope for next year.Ok all you pro players can chew me up now. Greg Giant fan for 70 years

Remember that blocking, it was beautiful. Since then, utter garbage
it is about time someone brought this topic up!

they tried going outside and he had zero rushing there too.

the line created nothing. they were shedding our backup tackles like they were blocked by children.
This offense

Has all opposing defenders, regardless of their team record on their sidelines being measured for gold jackets. Beyond unimaginative, its predictable and always poorly executed, which is a by product of under coached, unmotivated hopeless, hapless players. Coach, scouts, general manager all need to be somewhere else in 2020.
Play Design. Play Calling. OL Scheme.

Whatever the reason, this coaching staff can't seem to find a way to get Barkley in space, give him a chance. He was effective running inside last season, earlier this year. It clearly hasn't been working. If he isn't entirely healthy, sit him.
It's the OL. Period

Run inside, outside it doesn't matter if you're being hit behind the LOS 11 of 13 runs. Same as last year when we were last in the league in initial point of contact. No OL, no offense. We have no OL.

calls the plays?
What you are forgetting is teams now stack the box on first and

second down because the know Barkley will be running up the middle twice and the Giants will always in 3rd and long. On 3rd down teams will drop 7 or 8 in coverage forcing Jones to hold the ball longer which causes sacks or incompletions. The Giants must do better on 1st and 2nd down.
