New York Giants legend Carl Banks breaks down the 2018 team
By Henry Buggy
As Banks said, he thinks the Giants made the right decision staying with No. 10 and drafting Barkley. He’s not worried about a drop off in play from the 37-year-old two-time Super Bowl MVP.
"“I see a very live arm. His football IQ you never worry about. You never worry about him picking up a system. You see a live arm. You see a guy with accuracy. I’m not worried about a decline there. He’s got a lot to work with right now. He’s still learning and learning the players around him as well.”"
The play along with the offensive line and establishing a ground game will be critical to the team’s offensive success. Shurmur led Minnesota to the league’s seventh-best rushing attack last year. That’s also with the Vikings losing electric rookie running back Dalvin Cook after just four games.
Giants fans can only hope Shurmur has a similar impact on Big Blue as he had on Minnesota. The Vikings saw improved offensive line play, and quarterback Case Keenum had a career-year in his lone season under the Giants new head coach.
