A little bit shocked Barden did not get any action

Ok here me out on this one.

Nicks played well but he was not 100%. He made one move and then kinda just sat in zones. He was used in pick plays and as a decoy. Not a big deal we knew he had some pain and he did what he could. But the one thing the giants were missing last night was chemistry, and Barden seemed to have good chemistry with Eli this pre-season.

I mean Barden had a pretty good pre-season right? Including a break out type game in Chicago. Since nicks was injured I do not understand why we did not get him in the lineup. Was he injured?

Barden is a third team player. He was on the field for special teams.

Hixon had a pretty good game. I am not surprised that Barden wasn't on the offense.

I was glad to see Hixon not seem to have any mobility issues and get through game one none the less for wear

i agree. i read nicks played something like 96% of the offensive snaps...i have no idea why esp cuz he came off an injury and like u said, why not use the additional weapons. nicks wasnt his usual self, so i dunno why u couldnt get more reps in there for RR/Barden but eh, first week messups

I agree with this. Nicks looked hampered and slow. He probably shouldn't have been on the field last night.

Think we would have been better off with Barden on the field instead of Nicks, not even counting the fact that Nicks will heal faster if he sits. If that's what we're going to get from him, we should shut him down for a while.

If they didn't play Nicks, Hixon would have taken his place and Randle would have taken Hixon's place as the # 3

Ya never know until it happens.

Are we sure Randle is ahead of Barden?

Hixon looked great. I didn't miss Barden at all.
