00:00Dart is not the only rookie leading the Giants' offense into new and different dimensions.

00:04Arizona State alum Cam Skadabo, the running back who has captured the nation's attention with his headbanging style,

00:10has become quite the bargain in the fourth round.

00:12For Week 6, Skadabo ranks third among rookie running backs in carries, 82,

00:16behind only Ashton Gianti and Quinshawn Judkins,

00:19fourth in rushing yards among rookies, behind only Gianti, Judkins, and Ja'Cory Krosky-Myrdha of the Washington Commanders,

00:25and no rookie running back has more touchdown runs than Skadabo's five.

00:28Against the Eagles, Skadabo really showed up.

00:31He gained 98 yards and scored three rushing touchdowns on 19 attempts.

00:3579 of those yards came after contact, and 47 came against stacked boxes featuring eight or more defenders.

00:41Skadabo recorded four explosive runs of 10-plus yards,

00:44and he was a big part of a Giants offense that is suddenly taking the pain to oppose some defenses,

00:49as opposed to feeling the pain, with undermanned options and no response.

00:53It's great that Dart and Skadabo already have an obvious personal connection,

00:56and Skadabo's folk hero status is a great story, but there's more here than meets the eye.

01:01Now on Sunday, the two rookies and the rest of the Giants have faced a very stern test

01:05in the Denver Broncos defense that has sacking and pressuring quarterbacks better than any other in the NFL,

01:10and has given up just 3.9 yards per carry, and only six runs of 10 or more yards.

01:15If Dart and Skadabo were able to navigate this credibly,

01:18they will have taken a desperately needed next step for an offense that has been falling backwards for years.

01:23And we'll see you next time.
