Former NY Giants head coach had many annoying tendencies in his offense, the main one possibly being that he almost ran exclusively out of shotgun. While most quarterbacks prefer to pass the ball out of shotgun, in my opinion, it doesn’t lend itself well for runningbacks having success running the ball, and Saquon Barkley should enjoy being in a more traditional offense.
I’ve pontificated that the reason Saquon Barkley has struggled running the ball between the tackles is that he rarely got a chance to run from behind center. While running behind a shaky offensive line, a runningback has a much better chance to make something happen when they have a full head of stream rather than being stuck in the mud attempting to sidestep oncoming defenders.
