00:00 you don't want to spend a lot of money on a running back.
00:04 Because first thing I'll say is,
00:06 this Giants offense needs to decide what it wants to be.
00:10 Is it going to be a deep downfield passing offense
00:14 where the emphasis has to be more on getting receivers
00:17 and tight ends and guys that can catch the ball
00:20 on a regular basis going deep?
00:23 On getting a quarterback, you know,
00:25 who can throw the ball deep?
00:27 On getting offensive linemen who can hold their blocks
00:31 long enough for these deep routes to develop?
00:34 Or is this offense going to be a ground and pound type
00:38 where the focus is going to be on the running game?
00:42 That's what this team needs to decide.
00:44 And all indications, at least shown so far,
00:47 is that they want to become a vertical threat.
00:49 They want to become a deep passing offense
00:51 because I think there's some kind of statistic
00:53 that shows that the playoff teams
00:57 have most success with the deep ball,
01:00 which is something the Giants really haven't had
01:03 the last several years.
01:04 So in that regard,
01:06 it does not make sense to pay Saquon Barkley.
