Expect teams to target this weakness in Saquon Barkley's game
Whenever the great Saquon Barkley rushes for 1 yard on 13 carries — like he did in the New York Giants’ brutal 34-27 loss Sunday to the New York Jets — it’s worth examining the reasons why.
So I did that, and I briefly covered what the Jets did to contain Barkley in the video above, which was expertly stitched together by my main man Ron Schiltz.
A concerning pattern emerged: Saquon’s pass protection.
Barkley is coming back from a high ankle sprain and he hasn't looked the same since. This is affecting him in his pass protection, as he has struggled to anchor with his usual power. And as I detailed in the video above, teams have noticed.
