In the midst of his postgame mopiness on Sunday, the self-described slumping Saquon Barkley was asked about his somewhat diminished role in the offense.
"I’m not producing in the run game right now, so I can’t be upset that I’m getting 11 carries," he said of his opportunities against the Dolphins. "We’re not doing anything, and myself, I’m not doing anything in the run game. I’m not affecting the game in that aspect. So that kind of happens."
It may happen even more.
The Giants may realize they can be a more productive offense with Devontae Booker getting the majority of the touches rather than their struggling captain, face of the franchise and one time second overall draft pick.
