Zero sacks and zero takeaways on 115 defensive snaps would be unacceptable for any NFL defense, but it is especially alarming for the Giants.
What’s really going on here?
But history shows the Giants err on the side of caution with injuries and tend to keep players out longer than expected rather than rush a return. Are the Giants better equipped to survive without Barkley now? Well, that could depend on rookie Eric Gray, who is listed as the fourth-string running back, but couldRookie Eric Gray may add some offensive snaps to his special-teams workload if Barkley is sidelined for a few games., has had 10 or more carries in a game just once since Nov. 11, 2019. The top 12 rushing performances of his seven-year NFL career all happened on or before Nov. 20, 2020, when he was the 49ers’ primary back.
He did not show that same explosion during his first NFL preseason , but if the Giants are going to go with a rotation until Barkley returns, expect Gray to be part of it so that he can be evaluated for a future that might get sped up when Barkley becomes a free agent in March.
Daboll said it is possible the Giants could activate all six as part of their 53-man roster, which wouldn’t be unusual except that Hodgins, Shepard, Campbell, Darius Slayton and rookie Jalin Hyatt have combined to play zero special-teams snaps over two games. Robinson played zero as a rookie last season.
Except the Giants’ schedule looks even more daunting after two weeks of results than initially anticipated. Their remaining 15 opponents have a combined record of 22-8 .
