Bobby Skinner has new YouTube video on Saquon Barkley

M.S. : 11/30/2021 1:58 pm

and the run game against Philly.

Sorry not to have posted it.

His bottom line:

(1) Yea, there were a few runs where Saquon Barkley danced around;

(2) But it wasn’t like he missed out on some big hole or some big run;

(3) Save for Andrew Thomas the O-line is an unmitigated disaster (my words) and falls way short of last year’s group that had much better run blocking with Lemieux, Gates, Zeitler and Cam Fleming.


Losing both Lemieux and Gates

really ruined this O line, i really feel like if those guys were playing we wouldnt be complaining every week.

I mean yeah Solder is still awful but the interior run game would be much better with those 2 guys.
I'm not very optimistic about Barkley anymore  
santacruzom : 11/30/2021 2:00 pm : link
But overall that was the impression I had. It doesn't seem like he's making terrible decisions no other back would make, or that Booker would have succeeded where he failed. And it definitely seems obvious that defenses are focusing almost entirely upon him, perhaps because everyone else is pretty easy to remove from the game.
Forgot to say that Skinner felt  
M.S. : 11/30/2021 2:02 pm : link

There were anywhere from about 2 - 4 more yards Barkley might have gained on a few of his runs.

So there’s that for the BBIers who want to move on from Saquon Barkley.
Is Bredeson really worse than Hernandez?  
RCPhoenix : 11/30/2021 2:02 pm : link
I don't know if it's post-Covid but Hernandez just cannot hold up at the point of attack.

HUH? You last sentence makes no sense. I still wnat to move on from Barkley regardless of the yards. It is HOW he runs that is an issue. He goes down way too easily. He stops at conatct WAY too much. He isn't the play maker he was as a rookie and most likely never will be again.
One thing is crystal clear in his video  
M.S. : 11/30/2021 2:08 pm : link

The Eagles fantastically engaged 2 offensive linemen with one down D-llineman. Time and time again.

With the exception of Saquon Barkley’s very fine 34-yard run, the Eagles D-Line in tandem with their LBers beat the sh** out of our run game. Stopped it cold.

Really amazing we won that game.

He was a play-maker on his 34-yard run, and Skinner explicitly said Devonte Booker doesn’t make that run. He also implied from all the video he showed that there were no other runs that Barkley could have done much with.

Last years OL  
Archer : 11/30/2021 2:17 pm : link
It would appear tha last years line was significantly better than this years version.
Thomas is Thomas
Gates is better than Price
Zeitler is better than Hermandez
Lemieux is better than whoever,
Fleming is better than Solder

Not even close
he seemed to run with less indecision this past game

Precisely. If this was a matter of wins, losses and ties the Giants o-line would be 0-4-1.
not that i dislike the guy, but who the fuck is bobby skinner?

is he just some fan who likes to break down OL play? did he play OL in high school or something? i've watched a few of his videos and he strikes me as just some dude.

also, barkley gaining an additional 2-4 yards on 3-4 of his runs could mean the difference between being in 2nd and 5 vs. 2nd and 9. maybe they sustain a few more drives and score a few more points if barkley picks up those additional yards. he's a 2nd overall pick, we should expect him to be doing that, and more.
Any word on Lemieux?  
SLIM_ : 11/30/2021 2:21 pm : link
There were thoughts that maybe he would be able to return this year. Was that blowing smoke or is that even a possibility at this time. I haven't heard boo on the subject.

i never understood why the giants moved on from players who appeared to be, at worst, valuable depth guys (fluker, ham brown, fleming, etc.). zeitler i can kind of understand due to the cap implications, but gettleman has jettisoned a lot of quality depth players over four seasons of botching the OL rebuild.
 
christian : 11/30/2021 2:24 pm : link
I think Skura has been roughly as effective in the run game, and demonstrably better in pass pro compared to Lemieux.

aGAIN, SO! That doesn't mean Barkley is the right guy for the team going forward and certainly not at the price it will cost!

Bobby Skinner is a former defensive lineman for the New York Giants and Montclair University. His OL breakdowns are excellent, the gold standard. He's really knowledgeable and I've learned a ton about OL play from watching his video breakdowns.

Anyway, I really wish more people would see the All-22 and see why plays don't work. It's hard when you're getting hit as soon as you get the ball. When guys completely whiff on their blocking assignments. As much love as Myarick got, he completely blew an assignment that got Barkley hit almost as soon as he got the ball.

Stuff like this matters. The Giants' run blocking was good only once or twice. The 32 yarder they picked up their assignments.

When available, Thomas 2021 is better than Thomas 2020

And Lemieux is a push than whomever.

fluker, ham brown, cam fleming and even remmers were arguably better depth than anyone currently starting. and he didn't have to trade players or picks to get them, as he did with price, etc.

im not saying they were quality starters. but quality depth, and i'd argue better than current starters like hernandez and price.

did last year on Reddit. Someone asked his background and he said he was an OT and played college ball for 2 years. Said he learned to watch film in HS.

LINK: https://www.reddit.com/r/NYGiants/comments/jeuwd7/my_name_is_bobby_skinner_talkin_giants_ama/

TIL there's more than one Bobby Skinner with a NY Giants football connection.
I think the Bobby Skinner of these YouTube videos  
M.S. : 11/30/2021 2:56 pm : link

Played o-line at St. Olaf’s.

He has dozens and dozens of videos of the Giants o-line and talks through exactly what went right, what went wrong and the “why” if it all.

Very insightful video/commentary.

And all I can say after watching several of them, our current O-line is holding this team back in a serious way.

Seriously.

I think it is 1-4. Thomas 2021 is meaningfully better than Thomas 2020. Which just highlights how much worse the rest of the line is. Bottom line - Solder is not starting quality in the NFL. Don't think he would start on most SEC programs right now. Just not strong enough for the position, and strength is what you gain as you get older. Hernandez has moments, but after 4 years can't pick up a stunt blitz with regularity. Thus should not start in the NFL (might start somewhere next year, because there are not enough linemen). Billy Price might actually be a legit starter in this league, but he is not top half, nor all that close to Gates. Neither Skura nor Bredeson are starter quality, although I think Bredeson could get there. Thomas has been anywhere from solid to really good when he has been in there. Bottom line, I would be shocked to find any team where more than one of our linemen not named Thomas would even start, and some of our starters would not make the team.

He was better in Cleveland for certain. Haven't watched him for Baltimore until the other night.

His run blocking for Giants last year looked uninspiring but thought he was the only one who knew what he was doing pass blocking. Often covering up for issues with the others.

His salary was high so understood desire to cut him loose but to just go with their remaining Guards was a questionable plan even if Lemieux didn't go down. A risky plan and one that we can say for certain now...failed.

and he's still prone to not always seeing or feeling the hole he needs to find. You hope this will improve with reps and experience, but the issue persists and SB is also pressing and sometimes trying too hard to pop runs.

jvm52106 : 11/30/2021 4:21 pm : link
and the OP's assessment is a tad overblown to what Bobby actually said. The one big run clearly skews the overall opinion here but it is the runs where SB is late to see the hole, tries to dance and slide too much and isn't hitting the hole or the planned lane as hard as he should, that really holds back the offense. Is it all his fault? No, absolutely not. BUT, as the former #2 pick in the draft and a player touched by the hand of god, is he doing what is needed for our offense, no he is not.

With all of that some other stuff I noticed:

EE is even worse as a blocker this year than he has been in years past. My god he just gets rag dolled.

The draw play where nobody picks up the MLB, Bobby mentions it is on either Price or WH.. I don't agree with that. Go back and watch that highlight and look at the Left side of the OL (which is to the right on the video showing from behind the defense) where EE is lined up. He looks to be lining up to sprint into the middle and as he comes off the line is clearly looking for the MLB. I think the assumption was the MLB would hesitate a sec to make sure it wasn't a pass, so EE could come if off the side and pick him up. When you see EE come into the middle he is looking for the MLB and sees that he is into the backfield and then turns his attention up field to try and pick someone else up.

Either way it was a shitty play and very predictable.

Lastly, if Daniel Jones wastes any more time moving guys over to the other side to then just handoff I am going to explode. We risk delay of games and wasted TO's to move a guy who plays NO role in the play itself!

arniefez : 11/30/2021 4:53 pm : link
on BBI. The second he was announced as the pick I hated it. I hated it during his rookie year and I hate it now. But in fairness to him he's playing injured and is limited. At his best and healthiest he shied away from contact and was an unwilling blocker so what do people expect now? Anyone who thought that he was going to be fully recovered this year was being overly optimistic and then he got injured again. He'll probably have 2022 to try to prove he can regain his original form. I'm betting against it and hopefully he'll be somewhere else in 2023.

He knows what he’s talking about and he’s better than most nfl guys who break down tape. His partner Justin is horrendous and has no business being on a pod with his analytical nonsense. He thinks because he has season tix in the nosebleeds he has a special view of the giants. My friend said on a recent pod he referenced old school football as 2005.

He knows what he’s talking about and he’s better than most nfl guys who break down tape. His partner Justin is horrendous and has no business being on a pod with his analytical nonsense. He thinks because he has season tix in the nosebleeds he has a special view of the giants. My friend said on a recent pod he referenced old school football as 2005.


yep... he's fucking dreadful and why I don't listen to their podcast. I only tune in for the OL report which Penik is absent from.
He missed a few opportunities…

… to point out what I think went wrong on some of these plays.

What I feel I saw consistently was what appeared to be laziness on the backside of Plays. It frustrates me when I see NFL 0L stepping with the wrong foot. If inside penetration is first and foremost you don’t step with your outside foot first and you don’t take a lateral step with your outside for your step with your inside foot.

On inside zone, I believe it was the second run, Thomas has to come off of that double team quicker and get to the linebacker so there is a lane to run through.

That said the nice thing about coaching the OL is that it’s relatively easy to spot the issues… The problem is implementing the solutions. Whether there was a lack of talent on the OL or an abundance of talent on the DL… sometimes it just takes time… or draft picks~

as Skinner says late in this video, our guys don’t fire off the ball often. Stay low, get leverage, and drive the feet. Our guys stand up and take chop steps but don’t move anyone most of the time. Compare it to Baldy’s vids showing our guys getting shoved 15 yards back by the Eagles.

Interesting observations!
