    Tiki Barber sets record straight after causing Saquon Barkley ‘stir’

    He caused a stir. “How did I cause a stir?’’ Tiki Barber asked. Because you made critical remarks about an aspect of Saquon Barkley’s game. “I just reported what I see,’’ Barber told The Post on Wednesday. “My philosophy is: Your critics are your friends, because they show you your faults. So don’t get mad …

    Saquon Barkley’s pass blocking is a Giants ‘liability:’ Tiki Barber

    One of the Giants’ greatest running backs ever is pouring cold water on their current star tailback, just two years after the franchise took him No. 2 overall. Saquon Barkley’s inability to pass block is such a concern for the Giants that Tiki Barber, the team’s all-time leading rusher, doesn’t think the 23-year-old Barkley can …
  • Saquon Barkley was historically bad for Giants

    Saquon Barkley was historically bad for Giants

    Daniel Jones was scrambling for his life and lateraled the ball to Saquon Barkley to salvage something positive on a busted play. Barkley’s 5-yard rush off a designed pass was his second-longest carry of the first half. It didn’t get any better from there. Yes, it was that kind of historically bad night for the …

    NFL expert’s ‘absurd’ take: Why Giants can win NFC East

    The Giants are kicking off the season Monday night knowing their worst possible outcome was a tie in the standings with the Eagles and Cowboys.

  • Joe Judge can’t fix Giants alone

    Joe Judge can’t fix Giants alone

    It is going to take all of them. Every single one. Man-for-man, the Giants do not stack up. Not Monday night in the season opener against the Steelers at empty MetLife Stadium. Probably not the next week in Chicago, or the next week when the 49ers come to town or the next week in Los …

    Giants preview: Winning season a tall order for Joe Judge, Daniel Jones

    When you venture away from the building and into the rank and file of the NFL, the expectations about the Giants are low. Really low. Like, really, really low. There are widespread guesstimates that the Giants are a bad team. Young, yes. Improving, perhaps. On the right path, maybe. But at the moment, bad. Looking …

    Breaking down where Giants stand as cut-down day nears

    It is never easy to trim a roster from 90 to 53. This summer, the task is to go from 80 to 53 then figure out how to fill an expanded 16-player practice squad that can be comprised with as many as 10 veterans. The good news for the Giants on Friday: Defensive back Logan …
  • Daniel Jones sharing blame for early troubles with Giants’ new center

    Daniel Jones sharing blame for early troubles with Giants’ new center

    My fault. No, my fault. This is the dynamic playing out this summer as the Giants break in a new center, Nick Gates. This is a position change for Gates, 24, who was mostly a left tackle at Nebraska and played tackle and guard a bit last season for the Giants. Center? That’s brand new …

    Daniel Jones already showing he’s different kind of Giants leader

    Daniel Jones stood out. He was impossible to miss. There he was, his “no contact” jersey looking like a red dot at the center of a mass of blue and white, breaking down the team huddle before Friday night’s team scrimmage at gray and empty MetLife Stadium. Sometimes quarterbacks do this, but usually they do …
