Former Giants running back Saquon Barkley had himself a day running over his former team.
East Rutherford N.J. - If New York Giants co-owner John Mara has been experiencing sleepless nights knowing how much former running back Saquon Barkley has thrived with the Philadelphia Eagles, then he is really in for a rough evening Sunday night.
It didn’t happen. Barkley recorded 187 all-purpose yards, 176 of those on the ground. The Giants offense recorded 119 yards as a whole.And Barkley, who so far this year is proving Giants general manager Joe Schoen’s belief that running backs lose their potency after they hit 27 years of age, is glad it’s over.
“They’re the team that drafted me. I’ve still got nothing but love and respect for the guys over there. I’m happy to be an Eagle.”Jalin Hyatt Suffers Cracked Rib in Loss to Eagles “It’s kind of hard not to hear that,” Barkley said. “I think I didn’t help myself when I said earlier in the week I didn’t think I would get booed, but they’re booing for a reason. It’s a compliment at the end of the day. That’s how I took it.”“I probably talked a little more today than I usually do, but I think I did a really good job of being locked in through the week,” he said. “Right now, where I’m at mentally, just focusing on my preparation, the little things, staying consistent.
