The key word for Saquon Barkley this season is anticipation.
Not from us for what the Giants' second-year running back will be able to accomplish after a phenomenal rookie season (although that anticipation is fairly high too). No, rather from Barkley himself on a snap-to-snap basis.
Barkley said early in training camp that one of the “little things” he wants to improve on this year is his ability to see plays develop while still in his stance in the backfield.
“Before we say ‘hike’ I’m trying to be able to read the defense and know exactly where we’re going to block and who is my most dangerous man,” he said.
