Giants fans have no problem with this at all >>>>> (NY Post newspaper ) headline "The Saquon Barkley mistake Giants can’t make" Excerpt from artilcle>>>>>> (Barkley is 100% heathy ) 

"Barkley is the straw that stirs the Giants’ drink.

The risk-reward isn’t worth taking him out of bubble wrap.

Better safe than sorry.

Keep him in mothballs." ………………. I can see that point of view and it DECREASES my concern about whether Andrew plays in Pre-season or not .

NO ONE is concerned about Luck playing in any of these preseason games, the reps that he's missing by not practicing are far more significant.

I get it, but RB cant be compared to QB in  this case.

QBs need the timing with OL, WRs, and RBs. They also need practice "controlling" the offense.  RBs can turn the switch more easily.

Maybe send him out there WITH the bubble wrap?

Put him in one of those blow-up Sumo-wrestler suits.

If they feel he needs it we may all be shocked to see him play a half in the next 2 weeks  but I think they would do that  only if they feel he really really needs it .

I'm ok with sitting anyone in the preseason.  Reich should know where Luck is at.

Cains 1st catch of the night even freaked me out.  He came down in an odd way.

Freaked me out too, but Cain needs to work through that stuff to trust his body coming back from injury.

I think that's why he is getting so many reps.

I loved that they increased his snap share (from 38% to 46%) vs the Browns. I think I'm more happy he played early.

 

Assuming the trend continues, I think we'll see a heavy rotation of Xs. I also think we'll see both Xs (Cain from the X, Funch from the slot) on the field at the same time. I love the flexibility of the WR group this year.

Can't wait for Campbell to get back on the field.  :woah: Speed Kills!

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.
