John Harbaugh, Cam Skattebo give media conflicting answers
Awful Announcing • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Giants removed running back Cam Skattebo from the starting role for their game against the New Orleans Saints after he fumbled four times this season, with Najee Harris starting instead.
- Skattebo played only six snaps and had no carries in the 34-27 loss, admitting postgame that he was "punished" by the coaching staff for his fumbling issues.
- Giants head coach John Harbaugh denied that Skattebo was benched, stating the zero carries were "not by design" and that no runs were called when Skattebo was on the field.
- Harbaugh expressed frustration with media questioning and emphasized the team is searching for a reliable running back to lead the position.
- Despite Skattebo's fumbling concerns, the Giants' other running backs combined for just 34 yards on 14 carries, suggesting the team may need to risk using Skattebo to improve their struggling running game.
