Are we just going to ignore Max’s left eye twitching?
Idk why he does tht 🤣🤣
He been on that cocaine again
Coke helluva drug
Symptoms of the Rona B nighas getn rona every day He be Aight!!
@@dancart1995 never seen someone's eye twitch of coke but ok 😂
Whats wrong with Max's eye I was tryna concentrate on the conversation but his eye was in the way😂
It’s a demonic Khazar gesture
He is at home prolly tryna tell somebody sum without using wrds
Contacts irritating him
Facts
Could be stress or he may have an illness?
Saquon Barkley is the most talented running back in the NFL.
Nope cmc
@@joehorton7254 no better production saquon has more tools and potential
that’s CMC
CMC is gtfoh
They talking about 2nd and 3rd best in the NFL
Y’all talk about everything besides Zeke Durability Lol
Exactly and Zeke is more productive and has been consistent
👍
It's like Barry vs Emmit all over again...
🤣🤣🤣 So true
Except This “Barry” is bigger than Emmit...
kyler famble true
Barkley is like Barry, zeke is like Emmitt
I agree barkley has the skill and zeke has the stats
speedy GT it’s offensive lines. Zeke has a great/stacked offensive line and Barkley has high school offensive line. Barkley will just be stuck with the giants o line for the rest of his career.
@@shadeinmoney3522 you can't lie that no matter what zeke has the numbers but I also know that saquon is a better rb
That’s actually a good comparison.
speedy GT for a cowboys fan i like this one I’m a giants fan
Marcus had to argue for zeke just so they could make this segment😂
Brennon Baker Marcus is like “once a cowboy always a cowboy”
facts 😂😂
I would take Zeke too tbh saquan had one good season with a lot of fluff yards in losing games Zeke has had 4 great seasons and the one season he didnt hit 1k he hit over 900 and had a 8 game suspension. Gimme Zeke rn maybe saquan later when he proves more.
5000 in 4 years gimme ezekiell
Exactly no kwestion he said Saquons more talented exactly that’s the question
Saquan can truck you , moss you, hurdle you, juke you, and dust you like let’s be real now😂💯
Idk about moss bruh
Saquan can't block either
You misspelled Zeke
Saquan is more talented for sure. But Zeke doesn't miss time. He doesn't get tackled for a loss. He always falls forward. When Saquan has those skills he can be all time great and Zeke will just be a really good RB. Until Saquan masters the position give me the consistency of Zeke. If I get one play to win a game I want Saquan because he's special, but for 350 touches across a season give me Zeke.
Zeke can do that 3
“THE RONA”- stephen a😂😂
Zeke seems slow to me like he's running in cabo sand
Skip’s burner??
😂🤣😂
Zeke
Classic Skip take 🤣
1300 and 12 tds on a off year
Am I the only one who saw the winks?
Add too- I’ve watched these guys for years and I’ve never seen Max do anything like this my bad if it’s something that he has but wow that was out of nowhere to me.
Yeah, whaz up with Max
Could be lack of sleep tbh.
It might be a stye or nerve twitch
He never does this. He's trying to tell us that they are keeping him there hostage
Max “Saquon Barkley is the greatest running back prospect who ever lived” Kellerman
lmfao
😂😂😂
@Petey Pablo nah it's scripted they say dumb stuff for ratings
He is though. A generational talent
Max "every single guy gets called the best ever/who ever lived" Kellerman
Saquon and it ain't even close.
Ezekiel Elliot: Great running back on a contending team.
Saquon Barkley: Great running back on a trash team
Okay so you think saquon better?
DaLLas isn’t even a contending team lmao. Trash team as well
@@shadeinmoney3522 yeah ok
@@player6942 they went 6-10 bruh
@@j.t.barrett4371 And had the second most injuries in the NFL
Its not even close it's Barkley, he does way more with with less, week after week he busting a 50+ yarder zeke is a great every down back Saquan is a generational player.
Hal Yolo I think it’s the other way around saquon good but Zeke it a generational player has more broken tackles and yards after contact than any other back since he’s been in the league most yards since he’s been in the league saquon just isn’t as good yeah he can go for 70 every once in a while but has never had more rushing yards than Zeke and never will Zeke had 1,300 this year with the least carries in his career if he would’ve had the same amount as last year he would be projected to have 1,600 yards easily he’s also the 3rd back in history to have 1,300 yards when the qb throws for over 4,900 yards and has 3 rushing titles saquon missed 3 games this year and barely had over 1,000 yards and 6td’s Zeke once missed 6 games and had 980 yards and 7 td’s there’s all the proof you need
Zeke gets you 4.5 or more consistently. Saquon goes 19 carries for 50 yards, then BOOM, rips a 50 yard TD! Wow... 20 carries for 100 yard and a TD?! Phenomenal!
Whoever says zeke just doesnt watch saquon on and off the field . saquon is on a different level than any back in the nfl
Nash Scheber you’re delusional dawg go watch some Zeke or cmc highlights
nah saquon is head and shoulders above zeke, the only guy that comes close is CMC
As a Eagles fan definitely Saquon Barkley, when healthy hes a beast
Damien Rivera nah Henry
Oh thank you Damien for letting us know your a loser lol
L G R W nobody asked you
Mansoor Mughal it’s sarcasm Derrick Henry gets so many touched
Lol if u a eagles fan then u kno zeke always destroys the eagles
Have yall noticed that max eye sometimes be twitching and he be blinking with one eye sometimes.
Retro Glory Yes it’s Max’s long term cocaine addiction adverse effects afflicting his eyes. His eyes also bulge out and are inordinately dilated which again is from cocaine and other drug related effects. 💯👌
@@mathewg7053 rlly?
Because he’s tired lol 🤷🏾♂️he does cover boxing
Bro notice how SAS rubbed his eye signaling to Max its showing bad. Probably all mk ultra'd tbh
Gorburger
If Barkley had Dallas' offensive line he would rush for 2K yards easily.
@Jay mere thats the most important factor
Fake news, Zeke had a good o-line rookie year, but the 3 years since has been avg at best. Tyron's missed 4-6 games every year last 3 years, Federick missed a year and retired early after coming back saying he wasn't the same player and our LG position has been a night mare, we were bring in guys off the streets at one point
Praneeth Perera and zekes only is better then saquons? Yes, yes it is
@@PranMatic24 the cowboys oline during zeke's whole career so far has been better than any oline saquon has ever had
He would still get injured 😂
Why max eye twitching like that😂😂
I miss Todd Gurley being in this discussion 😔
Sorry their too biased to put the Truth
They HAVE to mention dallas EVERY conversation to try to force them into relevance. Since their just an average 8-8 team they have to force them on people.
Overrated
Hey Momma they weren’t before his injury
Jj m
Todd is having a d rose case sadly and he’s still only 25 it sucks that his knees are giving up on him
“That guy can hoop. But does he know how to hoop?” What?
The mental aspect. At least that's what I got from that.
It makes sense
yeah tbh i get it, "you have the skills but do you know how to use em" kinda deal.
wildbat909 it doesn’t make sense because SAQUON knows how to use them
@@sevonwilliams6622 as a giants fan sometimes he tries to get too cute and loses yards instead of sticking his foot in the ground and getting 2 or 3 yards, hes gotta use his power more at times i think other than that hes still the best back in the league no doubt
Better player right now....
Stephen A., "Well Zeke got da 'Rona"....lol
Max having H3H3 eye twitches?
Either Coke effect is passing or kicking in
I'd love to see Stephen A. survive in the current climate.
The body is made to do that no big deal
Why the media bagging on Zeke now? Lmao
Zeke led the league in scrimmage yards going into week 17 of Saquon’s rookie year, however he sat out week 17 for the playoffs so Saquon passed him
After playing Madden 20, Saquon takes the cake
yes zeke is too slow
Some great topics on this show today 😎
Zeke got comfortable and pulled an Eddie lacy hopefully he can turn it around
Man Eddie lacy ain’t on what Zeke has been on
Dallas played from behind too much last year for Zeke to show out like we know he can💯 Can't run the ball down 10-20 points😂🤣
Huh😂Zeke had 1,300 12td’s 3rd back in history to run for 1,300 when the Qb throws for 4,900+
Don’t ever compare zeke to cheese burger Eddie. Zeke is still one of the most impactful backs in the league. If you watched football this year Dak threw for 5000 yards. There’s was no room for zeke to go all out when the offense slowly changed to favor dak. If you look up 5k qb seasons no rb has put up those numbers zeke did.
1777 total yards and 14 total TDs is a bad year?! Oh laaaawd! 🤦♂️
Chris Jones just signed a four year extension
@Petey Pablo 😂😂
Steve Lambert thx schefty (I tried on the name. Sue me)
The Goats ...whoooosh!!
Wow!! I swear the disrespect of Zeke is absolutely ridiculous the guy has led the league twice and rushing two out of the last four years he’s been in the league with two pro bowl trips come on!No disrespect to Saquon Barkley but he’s not quite there yet.
He was good the first 2 years yes ( woild be the best back no question) but the last 2 years he doesn't fight for yards as much and he has gotten slower. Adrian Peterson at 35 looks like he could out run zeke.
Give Saquon that Dallas Oline and see what happens
He was good until he got paid
You put any RB behind that Oline and they’d do GOOD. Come on now, Cowboys are built around their Oline
😂
When the guy in the middle said he was choosing zeek and started talking about basketball and the generous things zeke does for his team while the guy in the left adds corona virus sickness to help saquon vs having a bad o-line and not have Odell on the team anymore and a scary qb lmao
Max: first here's the eyeball test
Mac's eyes: 👁️_🍥
Barkley vs Zeke. Saquon is bigger, faster, stronger, more elusive; In an NFL Combine, Saquon would destroy Zeke; Saquon is the better home run hitter, he's more entertaining to watch running behind a lesser line; Zeke is the more consistent runner between the tackles, its not as pretty. Barkley is Barry Sanders, whereas Zeke is Emmitt Smith.
It isC: Christian McCaffery. The best running back in the league.
Right now, yeah. Saquon is younger and more talented though.
Saquon is the better runner but yea CMC is the best at the position when you include other skills
Marcus after Stephen A says “The Rona” says “he stupid”😂😂I died
This reminds me of the Emmitt vs Barry days .. Barry a home run hitter , while ES was a complete back; discussions of “what if” Barry had that line etc etc ..,needless to say and thankfully both were hall of fame caliber backs; and we have something similar here. Interesting to note, BS like SB were the only real offensive production for their organization while ES and EZE have weapons. In terms of who is more valuable, both are needed for their organizations.
Stephen A even calling it "the Rona" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭🤧
I’m a Cowboys fan and I like Zeke but Saquon a different back.
Barkley and Elliott both had remarkable rookie seasons lets just wait a couple years and see if injuries occur or probably a trade or something
I guess the unison reaction @ 0:10 sums up Marcus and SAS response.
People seem to forget that in Zeke's second season dallas online was ravaged by injuries. The center missed every game, both tackles missed games. This is the oline that gave up 6 sacks to 1 player in a game that year.
So the notion that zeke has always ran behind a stacked line, is very far from accurate
Ezekiel. Next question
Ur high
Tough to choose. Both incredibly talented. Would like to see a healthy Saquon in year 3 or 4.
Whats good with max left eye
Barkley has more potential in a way. But as of now Zeke is more consistent. At the end of the day Consistency is key so gotta give it to Zeke.
Ok put him behind a non consistent O-line and keep that same energy
@0:23 tf wrong with max eye ?
Glitch in the matrix
He a lizard person caught shapeshifting
Zeke has been the most consistent rb for the past four yrs and the the reason he missed any games rly was because of that thing with his ex. He also can rly do it all, some ppl in the comments r saying saquan can do it but zeke is elusive, has hands and rushes for 1000 yrds every season
I think it's absolutely insane that Ezekiel elliott put up 1350 yd last year and they talked about how he had a bad year! that just shows you how great he really is and this is coming from a die hard eagles fan born and raised in philly who hates the cowboys in every way
Zeke idc what anyone says even tho I love saquon
na you just a cowboys fan saquon better
@@jayjay6853 lol
That's why Steven A is the Best "The Rona" we have the slang term for covid 19. Thanks Steven A 😂😂😂
Lot of athletes called it rona before stephen A. Stop being a fanboi
Dude where do you live? I’ve heard that from the average Joe months ago 😂
Yea I live in Buffalo,Ny we been calling it the rona for months now..lol
Good....i call it the Coro now...my new slang ya heard it here first.....for all my fanboiz
You late
lmfaooo yo his eye keep twitching 😭😭 I’m too high for this 😂😂
Saquon: Generational talent with trash o line
Zeke: Great running back with a consistently good offensive line
Facts
Stephen A. "He got the 'Rona" Smith
Max eye twitching like he’s got covid 19
Modern day emmit Smith vs Barry sanders, same argument, emmit had a good line and Sanders had a bad one and did more with less. Both are great
Max blinking like 182
The answer is:
Christian McCaffrey
Facts
nahhhhhh
Zeke's the better player had 1777 total yards and 15tds saquon had 1441 and 8tds and yes he missed 3 games which is another reason Zeke's better hasn't missed any games due to injury
Didn't Zeke miss 6 games do to a DV charge
@@shamdaman8554 I'll say it slowly so you understand
DUE
TO
INJURY
@@shamdaman8554 and the chick came out and said that she was lying afterwards and even missing 6 games he still had 983 yards rushing 269 yards receiving and 9tds total
Was lucky enough to be able to watch Saquon play in college ! Yessir We Are!
Barkley is built like a beast. He’s bigger, stronger, faster. He’s more physically gifted. But his runs look like 1 yard, negative yards then a 60 yard run. Zeke can catch, block.......If he wasn’t suspended he would have lead the league in rushing 3 straight yards. Last season Zeke wasn’t as explosive because he was stopped usually on the first hit. Before that, he would easily get into the secondary. He still rushed for 1300 yards and had 12TDs. I’ll take Zeke.
Saquon is a potential GOAT at the running back position. Lmao I don’t know you would pick Zeke over him
Zeke never had a 1 yard game
Hey Momma you cowboys fans are blind to raw talent. Saquon does everything better then zeke
Jeshaun Payne Saquon’s 1 yard game was his first game back from a high ankle sprain so u can’t except him to go beast mode
Ita gpnna be hard tp top barey sanders though. Dude had no defense no line no recievers. He was a one man armh for a decade.
I'm a Cowboys fan but it's obviously Saquon. McCaffrey is even better than Zeke.
You’re not a cowboy fan smh
PANCAKE Man he’s stating facts lol
Elijah Mitchell lmao numbers don’t lie, Go do some homework.
PANCAKE Man okay wanna compare who has a much better team around them😭 give Saquon Zeke’s o line he will get way better numbers 🤣. Anyone who faces the giants stacks the box with 8 people at least but they can’t do that with the cowboys since they have better receivers. Zeke is good but very one dimensional. Saquon can run and catch
@@elijahmitchell195 one dimensional!!!???? what???????????????? Zeke can't catch?? Zeke can't block?? Zeke can get the tough yards and the bust the big gains. Saquon does not get dirty tough yards and can't pass protect. Zeke blows up anyone coming near Dak. You buggin son!
That 👁 twitching
Ever since Max’s eye started twitching I’ve been looking at his eyes the whole time😂
lol every year it changes on who there comparing zeke to, debating on who's the best rb in the league. First it was leveon bell then Todd Gurley then Christian McCaffery then derrick henry and now Barkley lol. Barkley barley had 1000 rushing yards last season. And fire everyone saying the giants online is horrible well and pass blocking they are but at run blocking they are definitely underrated. It will continue to change every year on who they compare zeke with but everyone knows he's the best in the league. 💯💯💯
R u on crack?
What the heck is going on with Max' eye
Man sports need to come back. They're really out here discussing madden ratings like its betting odds.
Real talk
Does anyone realize that Saquon is a primary focus for the Giants and as time went on the Cowboys became more of a passing team so Zeke will of course get less numbers
Zeke is a more complete back saquon is more explosive back imo
Zeke 🔥
No offense to anyone but whoever says Zeke just doesnt watch Saquon Barkley on and off the field. Saquon Barkley is just on another level.
Compare Zeke stats to emmit Smith (the leasing rusher of all time) its very similar
Saquon going to have a Oline this year so I’d want to hear it
Still has no center and no RT and a rookie LT wdym
Matt peart
The o-line is improving; he’s gonna do major damage this year
@@Sheluvrc peart isn't ready yet I would say next year at best for any real expectation
Wont be football this year. Saves the giants from another 6 wins or less
Dude just look at the stats Zeke is much better
Coming from a cowgirl fan
Just imagine a world where Saquon was in the cowgirls I mean you would defend Saquon for life because it’s just facts that he is better than Zeke and it’s not even close the only person who is higher is CMC and I can live with that
Kalman Reed Saquon is more skilled but their two different backs. Saquon can create holes for himself while zeke relies on the o line and is elusive, can truck, and break tackles. Zeke has also been very consistent throughout his whole and has yet to miss a game from injury
And zeke is a 2x rushing champ
Ceedee Lamb with an amazing o line lmao. Give Saquon that line it’s over
I don’t even watch Football and I know saquon is a beast just looking at his built body structure
“The Rona” 😂
Of course Saquon, and Zeke has had an O-line that has always been among the better ones in the league.
Zeke has but not Saquon are you crazy? Giants offensive line was ranked like 26th just a few years ago and has been ranked like 15-17th since in the NFL.
Zeke's produced with banged up o-lines too like he did in 2018.
Max has someones fluids on his lips
bruh it's kinda hard to argue who the better running back is when they are 2 different rbs... zeke being the bell cow an Saquan being the explosive one. whatd make more sense would be like comparing Saquan and dalvin cook or like Zeke and derick henry. 🤷♂️
"first is the eyeball test"
*starts twitching*
If u know football it’s Zeke but cause he’s a Cowboy people hate him
If you know football it’s Saquon. Zeke is overrated because of the Cowboys if he was on a different team no one would hype him up
Ima say it once Barkley is a baaaaaaaaadddddddddd mannnnnnnnnn
This man did some bumps right before getting on set lol
Morning people both really good RBs
Zeke >
Saquon gets the "If" he had that O-line & "When" healthy......
With a bad o line his rookie yr he nearly had the same yards with 40 less carries
Zeke still has more broken tackles and yards after contact you can say it’s the o line but stats are stats
Jesussing16 bro in his rookie season zeke had 300 more yards than Saquon and there team had the second best record in the league
This didn’t age well
Why Christian McCaffrey is not in this conversation. He is the best RB
Bruh they talking bout madden ratings and how similar zekes and saquons are. Cmc had a 99 rating so clearly madden thinks he’s the best rb and doesn’t fit the discussion
I’m hoping it’s just eye strain from little sleep and/or from being on a computer a lot lately. Mine have twitched a little from this before but not like that.
Barkley and my Gmen are gonna have a great turnaround season
Let's go Giants 😎🍻
Yessir
Shot Caller who’s ur team bro
Daniel Jones gonna make the 2007 miracle run all over again. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Saquon is not bigger lmao
Saquon 233 Zeke 228!
And I don’t think he’s stronger than zeke either I’m sorry he has huge muscled thighs and is built big but he ain’t running over linebackers pushing the pile like zeke either. Still a good player, max is a giants fan lol.
DTWD !! Bruh stfu up I’ve seen him move a pile and truck LBs SS! You know what zeke don’t have that he does his ability to take it to house. Shiftiness to move thru tackles ability to come out the back field be proficient at just like WR unlike zeke. Has chance to become the third 1000 rushing and 1000 rec something zeke will never do.
Can someone please explain how to catch a ball prolifically. I thought you either catch a ball or you dont, I didn't know that there was a way to catch it 2 ways.
This has such a ol schl feel to it. The future meets that past. Both backs are great a coaches dream in boxing they say styles make fights. Could AP servive the JB era
Is Brady really in the Montana conversation
If Jack Johnson fought mahaiumid Ali who would win stuff. I could only say if Barkley became team use like ellient is?
Two rushing titles to none? Pretty stuff to the ruff stuff you pick!
Give me ZEKE ALL DAY‼️‼️‼️
Better take that oline too 😂😂😂😂😂
I still don’t know who tf Joe Judge is
a nobody head coach the giants hired 🤣🤣 they hella desperate
He’s was the Patriots special teams coach and not a good one
Đęmøń Fears he will be a really good HC in the coming years just watch
he was actually a very good special teams coach don’t listen to that other clown
watching max talk just reminds me of Austin powers movie the guy with the huge mole!!!! 🤣🤣😂
That guy in the middle said exactly how it is..dead on couldnt say it better
Saquon is great, but he’s on a team that isn’t that good, there’s a higher ceiling for Zeke Elliot b/c of his experience and his overall skill set
Sports 311 wrong
I don't think you understand the question
Correct. Put Saquon on a good team, then lets see how he handles the pressure
😂😂😂 his overall skill set is better than Barkley?
Broken King are you talking to me cause your argument makes no sense if you are saquan is better
Zeke is top 3 in the league in my opinion.
1. Christian McCaffery
2. Saquon Barkley
3. Ezekiel Elliot
Tf you smoking. Zeke is not 3. Derrick henry takes 3
@@jgarcom8 Zeke has been a top performer since he entered the league in 2016. It took Henry a few seasons to really show out! Zeke is the most consistent back in the league besides McCaffery.
Max's eye is twitching over this topic lol
Eye twitchen equals fibben
