Giants staff SOUNDS OFF about losing Saquon Barkley on "Hard Knocks" 👀 | Get Up 

They missed the whole point. They had him and didn’t build with him. They have no identity he had to break tackles as soon as he touch the rock.

They forgot their line was never a priority

Mike T who brought in Tbow just when Sanchez started looking comfortable is giving analysis lol

Saquon was never the problem in NY and you guys should discuss how D. Jones miserably failed to deliver on the field for the Giants.

Tyrod Taylor and Danny Devito out performed Daniel Jones That’s a problem

The Giants didn't suck because of Saquon. He was the only good player on that team. The Giants staff having so much faith in bust is why they've been trash

Why do people think that getting fired up means that you were offended. It just means that he’s excited. he knows that the Giants didn’t bet on Saquon and his ability. So he’s doubling down. That doesn’t mean he was offended.

Giants front office don’t want to admit they made a mistake on the Daniel Jones contract. If they did someone getting fired at the end of the day.

I’m 30 the Giants have been rebuilding the Offensive line for over a decade 😭😂 it’s the most shameful thing.

They can’t keep blaming the O-Line, they know they have buyers remorse on that Daniel Jones contract.

saquan was the reason the offense opened up in the first place because the defense had to play up front with him in the backfield. Giants chose danny pennies over a top 5 rb. They didnt build the oline, over 6 years they had with him. They clutched on to danny because he was affiliated with eli's camp

Saquon was NEVER the issue. NYG drafted Jones as the 6th overall pick and paid him 40 mil for nothing. NYG had OBJ, Collins & Saquon at one point and lost them all.

Question: what type of back DOES a 40 mil a year QB hand off to if not a “12m back”? I’m curious🤔

whoever paid Jones gotta go

Giants basically said we paid our QB no way we paying a RB but everybody seems to miss it . Total disrespect towards saquan he wasn’t coming back unless it was a team friendly

The media never provides real context in these debates. At the time DJ was given that contract there were no other QB options that were viable for the Giants and he had just won a playoff game. Its clear that the Giants wanted to keep them both and the decision to extend DJ made more sense in the long run. If the Giants would have franchised DJ and signed S.B, that would have been more of a cap hit which would have not allowed them to BUILD THE TEAM in 2023.Then if you factor in the cap increase coming, D.J's contract is going to look even better.Yes, S.B was the best player on the team but this team averaged 5 -6 wins since he had been with the NYGs. Look at these other teams with like 3-4 offensive pro bowler players. Those teams arent only winning solely because of their respective QBs. Pat Mahommes isnt great simply because of his talent. He also has had consistentcy throughout his career. S.B was our only talent and to pay him for the same production that you can get out of a younger player would've been foolish.

They wasn't even using him right anyways 😭

The comments toward how terrible the giants staff is makes me smile 😂😂

The funny thing is, it's true, you need to pass the ball , not just hand off to Barkley all day

IF JOE BURROW TOOK THE BENGALS TO THE SUPER BOWL WITH EASILY THE WORST OL THEN THE GIANTS DONT HAVE MUCH OF AN EXCUSE.... THEIR PROBLEM IS DANIEL JONES

The fact the GM blamed the Oline for daniel jones but then say saquon needs to be better

Giants fan here. I pray Saquan gets his and torches us every time we play. Never should let this man go for a 2nd maybe 3rd string qb

Hes not wrong.. He isnt.. If you have the worst OLine in ages, IDC who you got back there at QB your not gonna win a lot of games. Protect the QB.

Titans identity for years lol

I read the Giants had final editing say, so I guess they're ok with whatever is in it.

Sequon carried the Giants when he played- as a Running Back...

Showing that much fumbles from Saquon is disrespectfull 💀

Lamar, Josh, and Patrick would have the giant in the playoffs with their roster. Daniel jones ain’t that guy, y’all thought he was an off brand Eli and Peyton . 😂

They shouldnt of paid jones that money he's a back up qb at best...whoever made that decision should lose their job

peep shordy in the back of the thumbnail 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Is your biggest issue was your offensive line, why didn’t you draft an offensive lineman with your number one pick or why didn’t you search for top free agents on the office line during free agency?

This is how the front office takes no accountability

Incompetence all away around. Giants front office shows why they are losing. & the fact the analyst don't point out the fact that Barkley left a losing organization who used the QB salary not to pay a RB to go to a winning org that pays their QB more. Point out the incompetence of the Giants front office specifically Joe Schoen who drafted Daniel Jones

Eagles are better

When healthy, he is a threat but he'll give you 5-6 productive games. Overrated, but he should get a boost in stats with the Eagles for sure.

Just saw Mike t on hard knocks jets with him and Rex Ryan talking about eating 3 bags of pretzels m&ms

Injuries kept the OLine from being synchronized.

I like how they showed 3 bad plays with Barkley 😂😂

Based on an interview I watched last week with the director of hard knocks the team gets to watch the video before it’s released and if there’s something the team doesn’t want in there then it’s removed. Giants shouldn’t be concerned with anything coming out because they approved it lol

That is nothing but utter disrespect to the RB position as a whole. Saquon was the best part of that offense and they couldn't help him. It has been proven that a good run game can help a QB be successful in the pass game and the NFL seems to forget that point!

Jones should’ve never been drafted…and someone need to be fired for it especially if saquon gets a ring before the ny does; 40M down the drain

It’s amazing people say Barkley was not good because the line was trash, but can’t say jones wasn’t good because of that same line.

The bottom line is the Giants will be at the bottom again this year. Daniel Jones is a C quarterback at best. Although, I don't blame Jones for taking advantage of stupidity😅.

I don’t get why GMs aren’t evolving with Free Agency. Build both trenches, get good skill players on both sides and every free agent QB will already be looking to go there thinking they’re the missing piece. Some fans may not like the building process but it’s the best way in these times. Ask the cowboys they buy, buy, buy and end up done in the playoffs.

The problem with Schoen's thinking is that Jone's is not a $40 mil QB. Closer to $4 mil.

A lot of pressure on Jones who played horrifically last I remember

If the gm with the new York giants it's gone by thanksgiving then they got more issues in the front office that's not talked about enough!!

I don’t see either of his comments as “disrespectful”. He said they aren’t paying Daniel Jones all that money to hand off to a $20 mil RB. Emphasis is on Jones, and how he needs to earn the contract, not Barkley. Say what you want about ‘next man up”, no one’s feeling confident with 3 practice squad guys playing in one unit. That isn’t “disrespect” it’s reality

Giants f'd up...get ready for years of ineptitude and Tommy Devito "comebacks"

Funny how they only played his lowlights but none of his highlights like he’s not a top tier running back in the league

For his sake Jones better have a good year or he should be fired if you ask me

Honestly, it seems like some of the most productive guys on the field, keep getting let go. I thought you want to build with the guys who are playing well.

Didn’t Mr. DeVito win the same amount of games Daniel Jones won last season with the same squad. She was paid league minimum compared to a third string quarterback getting paid $40 million and you’re saying the running back was the problem?

Saquon was the only weapon that scared teams on the Giants.

Too much of that conversation was about what other teams needed. They focused on saving money and not doing what it takes to win. They let the fans down.

McVay's record against the 49ers should be 4-11 but because the 49ers locked up the 1 seed last year they sat starters and used the backups. Just had to mention that.

Interesting how Schoen can make excuses for Jones poor play because of the same offensive line Saquon had to run behind.

Just one question, if you can't win with 3 practice players on the O line, why are they even on the team?

They paid DJ who is just as injury prone and had 0 All Pros and 0 Pro Bowls. They should of kept Saquon and gave Daniel Jones a prove it contract.

Jones should’ve never been drafted

Joe Schoen looked like he has a personal issue with Saquon Barkley. 40 million dollar QB handing off to a 12 million dollar RB? What kind of statement was that? He sounds like he has a personal grudge against SB putting his personal priority over the TEAM.

I'm not so sure about Joe Schoen being a good GM. Look at some of the moves he has made: signing Daniel Jones big contract, letting Saquon go for nothing, Evan Neal is a bust, trading for a Darren Waller who retired. Schoen will be heading into a 3rd year and the Giants are going backwards not forwards. Granted Jones got hurt, but a few team lost starting QB and did not collapse.

Lmao if the offensive line was such a big problem, how did tyrod Taylor seem to function behind it!

EVERYBODY are saying it's the Player's that are terrible. NOBODY is addressing the Coaching Staff! Coaching MATTERS, doesn't matter if it's little league or Professional, Coaching matters! It's not ALL on the Player's, those coaches should get some of the blame as well. That goes for EVERYONE, not just in Sports, in Life in general!

As a businessman they were not wrong...

This was waaaaay better of a watch than First Take today. I can't stand the people on First Take from this morning.

He should be offended, they’re saying they picked DJ over him and referred to him as just a “12 mil back” instead of the face of your poverty franchise for the last 5 years He should be mad, and the idea he got paid (barely) means he can’t complain and shows how dumb theses shows are

Imagine the Giants kept Barkley and Odell ? And found them a decent QB. This front office is terrible

So we blame the Running Back for their team losing is crazy 😂😂😂😂

Saquon should’ve been our Franchise player but nah we too busy depending on D Jones which failed so bad. Frustrated Giants Fan and Saquon Supporter💯

I remember arguing with Giants fans how DJ sucked and they should not have signed him. They argued to death that he led them to the playoffs and was a good qb

I'm sure Aiyuk is loved in that locker room, and him not getting a good deal is a bad sign for veterans there, if it is a long term thing it could potentially cause riffs in the locker room, could be a lowkey sign of the ending of Shanahan era in San Fran (all speculation of course)

MHJ should have been a Patriot, but the Kraft family wanted Maye.

I don't get it ... Saquon Barley had 1300 yards in 2022... A J Brown had 1400 yards in 2022 but A.J had a 25 million dollars contract.... How is not paying a RB that puts up similar yards not worth it...

I respect Mike T. for even getting out there and trying to catch the ball. As a player I'd think it's cool. Also, why is being honest about a bad O-line a bad thing???

But Saquon WAS the VaGiants offense. Who gonna carry them to 5 wins, Danny Dimes 😂😂

Dumpster fire still burning strong in NY

Saquon actually has a chance at a ring now. Good job, NY. 😆

who gives af if schoen offends the o line, they are grown men, they for sure aware of how bad they played and they probably criticize themselves even more than schown did

This is Giants killing 2 birds with one stone. Rid of Barkley who underperformed and was injured. While forcing Jones to prove himself or he's gone after the year

Im in the minority, but I actually agree with Joe Schoen. Joe is thinking with his brain, in my opinion. He's putting the onus on Daniel Jones to perform so he can definitively make a choice about Jones' future with the Giants. While building a team inside out, starting with the O Line.

We have the D team today.

Anytime they handed the ball of to the 12m dollar back he got them at least to the 60 yard line just for jones to start trying to get yards and give the ball back

To not value the running back in the game of football when you are willing to pay ANYTHING for a qb I don’t understand how you can, in a true team sport, have such disparity. Barkley was a part of the solution not the problem. He simply wasn’t surrounded by talent plain and simple n leadership from the coaches/ office….

Would be nice 😊 if the giants can become a good 😌 team again

The NY media isnt tough anymore

F them cameras. What did he say that was wrong. The offensive line was awful

I have one question is any of these guys talking football actually "him" with pads on? if not I find it comical that they think their smart enough to understand what's disrespectful to a superstar running back

They DO need to fix that O-Line though

Saquon will have a huge season and make the Giants look silly.

They weren’t taking talent, they were taking money in a hard cap league! Simple math

Shouldn’t be an issue paying them both you’d pay a qb 40 mil and a wr 30 mil

Whenever Mike says we did something wrong it makes me feel very comfortable with Joe decisions.

DONT DRAFT QB’s OUT OF DUKE 😂.

The statement i think was more about you pay a good runn to actually touch the ball

Well he bout to ball out with us

Or utilize your 12 million dollar back to compliment your 40 million dollar QB. I'm not against them not wanting to pay him entirely, but I think they handled this the worst possible way. He knew what he was doing saying this on hard knocks 🙄. I'm a fan of DJ too but the injuries and turnovers are still a concern here.

Barkley was a problem. The fact that you think you can lean on a runningback instead of forcing the qb to make plays is the problem.

They were showing saquan highlights and really went out their way to put a cowboys highlight vs saquan on the flip Dallas fans really be that miserable hu? Even the ones that work at ESPN 😂 Enjoy your season Hope you pay CD before he leaves

Running backs have proved to be a non essential piece to winning a superbowl. Sure they’re nice to have but they’re presence isn’t worth the price tag
