Giants news, 6/28: Giants receivers relish freedom in new offense

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

Receivers relish pre-snap motion, freedom in new offense | Giants.com

The wide receivers joined the Giants Huddle podcast to talk about the new offense, which includes plenty of pre-snap motion and freedom to make plays.

“It just allows you to get a lot more one-on-ones and get a lot of space,” rookie Wan’Dale Robinson said on the podcast. “Create mismatches for the defense. They have to communicate and things like that. Whenever you’re moving and playing fast, defenses can’t communicate, and you get a lot of big plays out of that.”

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan cast his vote for TE Daniel Bellinger.

“The rookie fourth-round pick got plenty of opportunities with the first team this spring and caught the ball well. It seems likely, given his hands and the way he was moving at OTAs and minicamp, he was underutilized at San Diego State. It bodes well for Bellinger’s chances to make an impact as a rookie. The Giants certainly have an opening at the position, and it appears Bellinger made a strong first impression.”

A better offensive line should position Barkley to deploy his playmaking skills like he did in his rookie year. Barkley ranked fourth among running backs in fantasy points per game scoring (18.4) in 2018 before dipping to 37th (8.3 points per game) last season.
