From the episode

Their running game was so dependent on Dart and his running ability, right? And you have to respect his running ability. And that opens up things for Skadabo. So now you can just key in on Skadabo and you take away their run game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Barkley's run game collapsed since Lawrence injury; 29% rush success rate.

Barkley's effectiveness has been severely limited since Dexter Lawrence went down; the Giants' run game was heavily dependent on Lawrence's running ability, which opened up opportunities for Barkley, but now defenses can key in on Barkley and shut down the run game entirely, resulting in a 29% rush success rate (dead last in NFL) since Lawrence's injury.
