It is not an ode to one of the rainiest New York springs in decades that the Giants appear to be setting up another version of their popular \u201cThunder and Lightning\u201d backfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is a plan that has been in the works for years \u2014 ever since general manager Joe Schoen first considered parting ways with Saquon Barkley and using two young, cost-controlled, complementary running backs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Welcome to the Cam Skattebo-Tyrone Tracy Jr. Era.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKeeping that position healthy is what I think Joe was envisioning,\u201d WFAN radio host Tiki Barber told The Post. \u201cIt blew up in their face with Saquon, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessarily a bad thing because this wasn\u2019t the right place at the right time for Saquon. It was right in Philadelphia. By having these younger backs that have so much potential, it makes the arc of intersection more in line with where the Giants are.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is not an ode to one of the rainiest New York springs in decades that the Giants…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":42301,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[4716,1232,62,2225,29336,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-42300","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-new-york-giants","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-sports-plus","12":"tag-tyrone-tracy-jr","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114804000410653406","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42300\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
