No longer stuck on the couch for a big game, Saquon Barkley doesn’t want to leave anything for armchair quarterbacks to second guess.
Barkley, who is averaging 3.3 yards per carry over the past six games, said Thursday he needs to do more to reverse the Giants’ fortunes headed into Sunday’s“My perspective on that is: Try to make a change. Try to be helpful. Try to make plays. That’s where I feel like I’ve got to get back to,” Barkley said. “I feel like I’ve been lacking the last couple of weeks — being the guy, and making explosive plays, especially when it matters most.
“No, not because of being banged up,” Barkley said when given a chance to fall back on his aching shoulder and neck. “It’s just the truth. I haven’t had a big run in a long time. The last couple of weeks, the run game has been — I don’t want to say nonexistent, but they’ve been doing a really good job of stopping the run game — or, necessarily, stopping me.” For the NY POST Photo/Robert Sabo
“That was like a big game where you have to win to give yourself an opportunity to play in the playoffs,” Barkley said. “Obviously, I hated watching it on the couch. But [our team] got it done, too.” “I definitely feel a lot better, being able to go out there and practice and get reps,” Barkley said. “I feel pretty good.” “Obviously, that’s going to be a focal point again this week,” Barkley said. “But just got to continue to get back to that mentality of knowing that teams are going to try to stop us, but if I can get going, it’s going to help put us in a position to win.”
