"Big Blue have simplified their offense to where it's now down to one play-throw it to Beckham-"

A lot of truth in that statement...

funny but true.

By the 4th quarter last week, the only play was Eli to Beckham. It was almost comical.
I know, it's sad in a way. I give McAdoo credit that he sees it and

tries to get the ball in the hands of his only play maker as often as possible. The OL is just so brutal that they cannot run the ball at all nor can they run any plays that take time to develop.

I can't really determine yet is how much of the inability to run the ball is on the backs. My guess is that it is mostly the line (and Coughlin's comments seem to suggest that too). But sometimes a running back needs to be able create too.

Hard to create when a DT is grabbing you as you get the ball.

Since neither back can get through the line consistently (Titans and Falcons games excepted)I have to think the OL is the issue. Walton can't even hold his position, let alone move the pile. Our RBs our consistently running into enemy bodies in the backfield.
Can't run the ball when Donnell

running backs get hit behind the line of scrimmage more than the Giants have the past few seasons. The run blocking is a total joke. Listen, I get that Williams sometimes runs right into the back of his own lineman without any patience but besides that, honestly... I have never seen so many hits behind the LOS where the back cant even take a step... It's by far mostly the lines fault...
Donnell has to have some upside as a blocker I'd think

He is terrible.

Anyone know how the Giants feel about raw TE Robinson?

The number of snaps he gets on game day tells you everything you need to know on how the Giants feel about Robinson. It's not as if he's a rookie. He's been with the team three years now, so talk of potential no longer applies.
