| The Giants may frequently use no huddle at all — they practice it all the time — but when they do pause between plays, McAdoo still wants the offensive unit racing between snaps. Generally, the goal is to be ready to start the next play well before the play clock reaches the teens. At most of the Giants’ practices so far, the offense has snapped the ball sometime between 18 to 26 seconds after the play clock has been reset. And that makes McAdoo a broken record in practice: “Twenty, 19, 18, 17 ...” |

| It has forced Manning, a 10-year veteran, to retool the mechanics of the huddle and the method used to get the offensive unit set at the line of scrimmage. But Manning has been a happy convert. “I like it,” he said before Monday’s practice. “If we set up faster, it should reveal how the defense is reacting to us sooner. If we’ve got a great play called for that defense, then we run it. If we have a play called with no chance for success, we can get into our other options. It gives me more time to decipher what to do and get the right play called without being rushed.” There are other advantages.... |
BUT a hurry up offense that breaks the huddle quickly is a whole different bag of YES!!
That too. They could always pin their ears back.
I will miss the "Omaha" yells with 2 seconds on the clock though...
Does this guy have ice in his veins or his trying to sweat off some extra pounds?
"Manning audiblizing at the line with the play clock down to 3, down to 2...."
"Manning just takes the snap...."
Regarding Eli's accuracy in the short passing game, I've always felt that those problems were due to his often lazy footwork. I noticed in many practice videos that the Giants have incorporated footwork drills for Eli even within other passing drills.
Maybe I'm being a Pollyanna, but I think he's going to excel in this offense.
What I've been hearing over the last couple weeks just seems like a lot of common sense stuff when it comes to running an offense in today's NFL, and I can't help but get the impression that this team has been truly handicapped over the last few seasons with the offensive philosophy that they were employing on gameday.
A lot of teams played at a fast pace now. Patriots set some records for offensive plays per game a few years back.
Now the routes will be more predictable.
Physical match-ups will matter more ... it will be less of a chess match.
IMO Aikman criticizes Eli more harshly than he does Romo throwing INTs.
I hope McAdoo stays with this.
bhahahaha hilarious

It will be a trade off and chess match. But maybe now we won't see WR goes one way and ball go another. In this new offense I don't expect Eli to lead the league in Ints. Maybe.. just maybe, we can see Eli throw over 30 TDs for the 2nd time in a season.

it cuts both ways. The Giants offense - which won two titles - was (contrary to popular belief) unpredictable to defender for defensive backs because they didn't know the route.

We shall see.
These were just from the Dallas game alone, which cost them the season.
4th down in the 3rd quarter. Receivers right into each other. Turnover on downs.
Jernigan does the out. Eli does the go. Who knows what is going on here.
2nd and 1 after 9 yard gain. The whole team appears to be prepping to block for a run not knowing Eli is going to throw the ball. Randle is surprised too as the ball goes over his head.
Romo-to-Austin slant routes on the fly, while the rest of the team was running the called run play, were pretty devastating a few years back.
