In my latest video breakdown, I looked at Saquon Barkley's incredible rookie season. So far, Barkley has amassed 1,155 rushing yards (5.2 ypc) and 652 receiving yards (8.0 yards/rec) through the first 15 weeks of the season. At this pace, he should easily beat Reggie Bush's rookie receiving record.
There was one area of this breakdown that I left out, but I wanted to mention it here: I had about 3-4 minutes prepared on stacked box comparisons, but when I went to record, I couldn't get the script to flow properly so ended up cutting it out. Based on NextGen Stats, Barkley faces a stacked box (8+ defenders) 22% of the time. A big reason for this simply has to do with formations. The Giants use a lot more two tight end and two running back formations (12, 21,13) than a lot of other teams. The Rams, on the other hand almost exclusively run out of 11-personnel (3 WR sets) which is why their stacked box percent is so low (8%). Again, some teams do "try to stop the run" on certain downs, but remember, if you have 7 blockers (5 OL + 2 TEs), you now have 8 gaps, which means 8 defenders need to fill those (hence the "stacked box").
Bye week improvements: There HAS been an improvement in their run blocking since the bye week, but as of right now I'm going to claim they are "suddenly incredible" while they have had some huge performances. Currently, I have it mostly to do with bad defenses like the Redskins in Week 14 (lol), but the same line was consequently crushed by the Titans in Week 15.
Let me know if you have any questions! Barkley is a STUD. Had a LOT of fun watching him.

One thing no one talks about:
He hasn't fumbled the ball yet.
I was literally gonna post this. Lol
More than likely it is going to happen but hopefully it becomes a very rare occurrence for saquon Barkley
he hasn't fumbled a football in a game since like 2015
Impressive
I was going to post that too
I got goosebumps when this guy said Saquon can get better
He is a once in a lifetime talent. For me anyway. Wasn’t old enough to watch Walter Payton, Barry Sanders or Bo Jackson.
Brezzy 1815 At what? All AP could was rush. I would take LT over him tho.
Fair argument I agree
Brezzy 1815 yeah I was, but there’s just something about saquons running.
@@calebprod Saquan has a little Barry Sanders to him. Maybe better because he doesn't fumble the ball.
Bar Squad hey man give it like three seasons before a comparison like that
Why does no one mention he hasn't fumbled yet?
Guy above u did lol
DeGenz did
I know right!!! But if he was fumbling...? THEY WOULD OF!!! LOL
at 6:50 he wasnt only reading the holes created by the o line. he was reading the hips of both defenders. Being able to break tackles has a lot to do with being a step ahead of the defender when it comes to positioning. He knew by taking the A gap (the hole he was "supposed" to hit, he was inside the hips of both defenders. By choosing a different hole, he not only took the other linebacker out of the equation, but he forced the one that made the tackle to open his hips in the other direction, which takes time and might out the defender out of pos enough to not be able to make the tackle. Sure he got tackled, but it doesnt mean his read wasnt acceptable.
Nick Wallace bro finally someone said
Right on.. Plus knowing his o line is sus. He don't trust his health to nobody
Yeah i was about to say the same thing
I love these videos. Like they are probably my favorite to watch. I would love to just sit down with you and watch film and pick your brain
You should watch The Simms and lefkoe podcast and listen to Chris Simms
Brett Kolmann is good too
He plays just like barry, 3 negative runs in a row then busts an incredible 99 yard td right after
Dude love your film reviews. I’m learning a ton of good info.
I thoroughly enjoyed this whole video
He has Barry Sanders syndrome but he’s a sensational athlete so I don’t rly think this is too big of an issue especially when he gets a good o-line
The rest of the Giants offense has "Barry Sanders era Detroit offense syndrome". When you're the entire offense and you have the ability to break off home runs like that, that's how you run. Unfortunately Detroit never did get better, but if and when the Giants offense can figure themselves out I think this problem takes care of itself because he no longer *needs* to hit that home run, they can actually rely on him for consistent yards gained and throw off of that and he's still good enough to break one off running for those "dirty yards".
Isn’t a good thing to have Barry Sanders syndrome? 😂 considering Barry is at least a top 3 halfback of all time
@@jackschwartz1756 knows what's good
Yeah, you know what he is and you live with it because that same mentality is why he breaks off so many big runs. As long as his ypc is so good, no reason to complain
@@jackschwartz1756 Barry Sanders syndrome is trying to make something out of nothing EVERY play and often you lose yards, it's why Barry Sanders has the NFL record for most rushing yards lost.
Excellent video, thanks for the great work
Excellent video analysis. Keep it up mate!!
great work, once again
It's been cool seeing you grow as an analyst Sam.
Fantastic video man! Huge fan of your channel bro!
Another excellent VID!!!
Barkley is a athletically gifted freak.
Oh man.. I learn so much with you!... Cheers!
I felt like an NFL running back being coached when watching these videos. Thanks for excellent analysis. I'm learning a lot.
Great stuff and thanks for explaining the inside zone responsibilities. It would be cool to see more explanations like that during these vids for football dummies like me. You drop a lot of phrases that I recognize as football phrases but I don't know the intricacies of them. More 4-1-1 would be super appreciated.
Your views on Saquon runs are so on point its scary.
These vids are the best
I love love the way he runs inside the tackle!
Hey Sam great video as always. I was wondering if you were going to make a video on Phillip Lindsay’s surprise season sometime cause it’s an interesting case in my opinion
As a Rams fan I can admit Barkley is a generational talent and in a league of his own
LAMAR JACKSON VIDEO
You don't just scout the game, you teach the game, and you make it fun.
Football would be much more popular if more people understood what was actually going on, and you explain those things to them.
You're awesome.
Been waiting for you and Brett kollman to do a saquon vid all damn year lol
esp1344 Brett has made a Saquon breakdown albeit it’s a breakdown from college.
@@kikondewashere1975 I know lol I wanna see it in the blue helmet
One thing no one has talked about:
His insanely massive thunder thighs
kkkenneth xD Yes they give him his balance and power! And make him hard to bring down!
He holds every lifting record at penn state. They’re legit
It would be interesting to see what is so wrong with New England this year compared to other years
Logan .xyz. Brady isn’t any younger and a not as good defense as past years
Why are you discussing about the New England Patriots on a post about saquon Barkley that just makes no sense
@@deangarn1488 where else is he supposed to suggest the next video?
@@DeadStormPooper ok its just me but the way he asked the question, had no rhyme, or reason to it. (Can u make a video of what's wrong with the pats this season)??? Idk
pretty obvious, the defense is ass
I’d appreciate it you did a session on Nick Mullins if that’s possible?
Keep up the good breakdowns my dude 👌🏾
such a unique player. the eyes are already comparable to the eyes of berry sanders. Looking forwards to him next year
BLESSED
What’s great ab him is that he’s already 110% physically ready, it’s just small tweaks they need to fix to make him HoF worthy (although at this rate he already is)
While looking at Barkley's runs I'm also looking at will Hernandez blocking, two excellent picks for the giants
Great video bro and can you make a video about Xavien Howard bc he has been balling this season
INT's don't necessarily equal balling, Howard is one of the most inconsistent Corners in the league, having been beaten for four touchdowns already and giving up 16 yards per catch (I'm not saying he's bad of course but he probably shouldn't even be in the AFC Pro Bowl this year).
Jack he’s allowing 13ypr and he’s pretty consistent if you watch his game. Imma Dolphins fan and I watch him every week he’s a great cornerback and he has missed the last 2 weeks and our secondary have been absolutely garbage since then and the fact that u said he’s one of the most inconsistent cornerback in the league is mind blowing
Jack and If Jalen Ramsey made the pro bowl Xavien Howard definitely deserved to be in there
I’m wrong but exactly he has been bad all year long
@@Jay__994 twitter.com/PFF_Sam/status/1075202426137923584?s=19
Here's the link to someone that actually watches Dolphins football objectively. The combination of the PFF boys and Chris Simms know far more about football than you could ever dream of. They both corroborate my previous claims several times throughout the season, in particular the inconsistent aspect (literally he'll have one of the worst games I've ever seen right after locking down a legit No. 1 reciever). Also you are objectively wrong as he gives up over 16 yards per cover snap, check the tweet. Good day sir
As a depressed jags fan, let me revisit that giants game. Prior to that one run, he was at about something like 13 carries for 20 yards or something. Those 20 yards did not feel like 20 yards. It should have been 13 carries for negative yards, but Barkley made the jaguars hustle for every tackle possible. Then by the time he busted out for a huge play, mistackles in that play should have been made had they not been exhausted by Barkley’s running. He singlehandedly tire the jags defense by himself to get that run going. And props for him having poise by not giving up until that last run he had
Insane
Hey Sam! Loved the breakdown as always. What are your thoughts on the pro bowl roster? I thought it was better than years past but still some notable snubs (Darius Leonard, Chris Jones, Mike Evans, Juju Smith, Jason Kelce, Chandler Jones, Andrew Luck, etc).
Could you make a video on Zeke this season? I want to see how his stats compare to Gurley, Barkley and Conner.
Already the best back in the league
Honestly I agree. I already think he's better then Zeke. Barkley is a true all around back: Run, Blocking, exception receiving skills, recognizing blitzes. And he's only a rookie!
Hey, I don’t want to argue, but zeke is also a complete back as well. And I will give credit to him, he makes the first guy miss (Something that zeke can do but not as much as barkely). I am just saying that this division is going to be SOOO much fun watching 2 of the best do what they do.
@@Alexdabot90 True but Zeke has the great wall of China blocking for him while Saquon Barkley leads the league for getting hit the back field.
@Jzach Thanks for not being like any other Giants fan and cursing me out for my opinion, but even though he does have a great O-line, remember that this year we were with out Travis Frederick, a backup G when Zack Martin was out (pass 2 games), and a backup LT when Tyron Smith was out for a while (was never consistent in his health) and a rookie G that got injured for past 3 games (back up G was playing, and the rookie couldn’t protect against a decent Bull Rush) and he leads the league in rushing. But our lines are practically the same tho
Zeke and Barkley are different. First off our O line is shit too we’ve got all backups in at all 3 interior line positions. Second Zeke is a power runner who gets downhill and lays the wood. Barkley is a shifty runner. We come down hill and hit you 20x a game and y’all force defense to tackle him with the zone run. Different guys different offenses different styles
Can you do a Philip Lindsay breakdown? I'm interested in how he stacks up as another rookie that just made the pro bowl.
I am deaamn impressed with what i saw - goof
Would love to see you add Alvin Kamara to your film study
Boy I would love you to break down the Steelers v patriot game. After all, beating the Patriots and Brady.
Could you eventually do a video on Washington from the Steelers. He will start to do great things and making a video on him will be interesting!
If we had the line of the Cowboys, Steelers or Rams and a QB that defenses actual feared, he'd have 1,800+ yards on the ground alone rn
what he did with that very offensive line and Qb no one fears is amazing. I'm curious now that odell is gone can he beat 8 or 9 in the box all year long just like the great Walter Payton for all those years. I feel bad for him. I could see him spend all that energy on sub 500 teams for 5-8 years. Just like Barry Sanders. For his sake I hope it doesn't go like that.
Do a breakdown on Darius Leonard
do a video on phillip lindsay!!
Saquons vision's gonna be insane in a cpl years. His missed holes are just rookie mistakes. He got good ass work ethic so you know hes gonna be in the film room alot
Can we get a breakdown on Alvin Kamara or is there already a vid about him?
Do one on Joe Mixon
I’m a Skins fan! But SB is unreal! He is a human videogame highlight reel!
Do a film study of Mitch Trubisky!
When watching the USC vs Penn state I knew he was the best rb i seen since Barry Sander. I think he is more powerful, maybe even faster, but Barry is this the most allusive trickster ever.
1st half of the season I agree with you that he bounced too often. Post-Bye hes been way better at getting those 'dirty' runs. His only big knock is definitely pass pro and I agree again with you that he should be sent out on angle routes or duml offs.
Hey Sam I kind of understand what you mean but could you further explain what you mean when you say runs independent of the offensive line
best jump cut in the NFL
Barkley is the best rb and top 3 to ever touch a nfl field. Doesn't need a oline or qb to help him its insane. GB fan wish we had him lol
Saquon Barkley is going to be a fun player to watch for many many years to come
Can you make on about Phillip Lindsay?
I need Barkley to come through for me big time this week.
He’s a freaking beast. His great year and Connors great year mean that Bell shouldn’t see the highest $$ contract in the NFL. He chose the wrong year to sit out.
What a rookie RB class: Barkley, Lindsay, Chubb, Michel...
And we thought we were spoiled for QBs last draft......
Not to mention Kerryon Johnson (looked good, but injured) and Derrius Guice (looked good in preseason, but injured). Plus Rashaad Penny is already looking better too.
@@SamuelGoldNFL lol how could I forget Kerryon--he was a huge asset to my fantasy team. Guice did look good. Lot of good RBs for next season.
MeTakingAStand And that Steelers rookie RB
@@JDsBizarreAdventure Samuels is good, but he's definitely not in the same tier as the aforementioned RBs.
U know what I noticed in this video odell doesn't like to block for over 2 secs, gives no effort on the one Barkley td vs Eagles odell is facing sideline looking for the personnel package and not realizing the fg unit is coming because it teammate is scoring. On multiple plays in this video I see Sheppard going all the way to lay blocks and odell plays patty cake
Film breakdown Phillip Lindsay I would like to know how these guys compare this season
Seconded I wanna see what the stats say about lindsay's production. After his game against the Bengals and Saquans against the Bears, R.O.Y became a debate and i would love to see the comparison.
6:35 right guard is supposed to release and get right inside backer. Saquon indeed made a good decision, if the guard released... because the center had good position, that would allow saquon to cut back once the guard took the backer inside out.
As a Saints fan, Barkley is a beast !!!
Eagles fan here, but if the giants start improving that o line they are going to be dangerous in a couple years with Barkley in his prime
Feels like I’m at a stats/football class
Can u do film room on Eddie Jackson?
The Question Is If You Can Do It Over Giants Do You Take Barkley or Q Nelson.
2:41 You can see everyone running down the field and then Odell stop as if he had already been tackled lol
Nice video. Barkley needs to hit those yards even though they’re 2-3 yards.
Where did you get those lineman contribution numbers from?
Keenan Allen route running
?
He has gained more yards than any other qb in this draft pick wouldve gotten
Where do you get these camera angle videos from?
Giants can just get a qb next draft. But there was only one chance to get the quad father, great pick
Do Melvin Gordon
Do Lindsay next thanks
It hurts watching him destroy my Eagles in some plays, but he's too great to not watch and be in awe with his ability
Fly Eagles Fly 🦅
DO LINDSY NEXT!!
A lot of people always forget to mention that he has yet to fumble the ball. which is a big thing, especially for a rookie.
Bobby Wanger please.
Do Alvin kamara
Man we need a Zeke video
Phillip Lindsay video next?
Ezekiel elliot is an elite blocker
Barkley has lived up to the hype!!!
He def played basketball in high school
You should do zeke
Wow look at Odell's body language in that first run against the eagles you show. Avoids running into Saquon then just turns his head and walks to the sideline.
So is he the first RB to pick up in fantasy or Gurley/ Kamara/ Mccafrey/ Zeke
Im going with Zeke or Barkley. If the Giants fix that Oline and Barkley has a season behind him its gonna be dirty. As for Zeke the oline is missing one its best and so is the defense. There's gonna be more opportunity and better production from him for sure. Gurley has been great but I just dont trust the Rams to be the same. Kamara is gonna be lead back if Ingram isnt re signed, very likely he isnt and Kamara might be worth top 3, maybe #1, but isnt a great runner like Zeke or Barkley. Mccafrey is a stud but that team is just hot garbage. They went from favorites to shit so quick, i just dont trust that team at all, they also use him alot which makes him a great fantasy asset but thats gotta backfire sometime, he missed 21 snaps all year, like goddamn.
He is the second coming of Barry Sanders... of course he goin go for the big play and sometimes it’ll be negative you just have to live with it ... this is coming from an eagles fan ... he also reminds me of Shady McCoy
They already fixed the way he runs, he runs to the inside a lot more so idk why your saying it’s still a problem
How bout that titans game?
Do Aaron Jones!!!
Saquan Barkley is nice..he reminds me of a slightly bigger version of LaDainian Tomlinson
