Nick on Saquon OPOY "I Think He's a 0 for this Award"

Nick thinks that the Eagles' own success elsewhere could spell doom for Saquon Barkley's OPOY chances.

00:00And I'll just, I'll say this about Saquon Barkley, who obviously had the incredible

00:04week one game in Brazil against the Packers, I, my opinion, and just this will be the last

00:09thing here, like, just like, do you agree with me on this or not?

00:12I think he's zero, zero to win this award, zero.

00:18And the reason why I think he's zero to win this award, the Eagles went on Monday night,

00:22three for three with the Tush push.

00:25One of the reasons why Jalen Hurts is drafted as the number one quarterback in fantasy this

00:29year and last year, I guess maybe not number one, not consensus, number one, I would take

00:34him number one, is because when they get down at the one yard line, like he scores, Saquon

00:41does not score, Jalen Hurts scores.

00:44It's going to cap, like, not necessarily yardage stats, but it's going to cap his touchdown

00:49scoring if every time they get down to the one or two yard line, it's Jalen Hurts with

00:53the Tush push.

00:54Like, we want, and like, I was critical of Jason Kelsey, right, in the broadcast on Monday

00:58night, when they get the first and goal from the one, like Aikman goes or Buck goes, one

01:02of them says, what's going to happen here?

01:03And Kelsey just immediately goes, Jalen Hurts touchdown, I think Saquons, I think he's zero

01:11to win this award.

01:12Do you agree with that or am I overstating it?

01:15I wouldn't say zero just because he could put up a season that has a boatload of yards

01:19and like the year that Jefferson won offensive player of the year a couple of years ago,

01:21he didn't really score that many touchdowns.

01:23I think it was like nine touchdowns receiving.

01:25So there's still a path, but you wouldn't need a lot of guys to fall off if you're not

01:28going to be in that double digit touchdowns range, which that happened for Jefferson.

01:32Guys fell off.

01:33You won the award and led the league in receiving yards, but it's a tough uphill climb if you're

01:37not going to be scoring touchdowns and getting those one yard, if Hurts is going to vulture

01:41you.

01:42Yeah, it's a tough break there for Saquon Barkley.
