a downscaling of Coughlin's adherence to the power running game?
McAdoo has replaced Coughlin's influence in the draft process and the Giants immediately draft an elusive all-purpose RB, replace a "procession" with a very quick WR, and actually draft a talented and fast TE. Just guessing there will be less, and less predictable running, and more screens, draws and quick short passes. The days of keeping the number of run and pass plays equal during a game may be over.
I agree with the OP, McAdoo has definitely had an influence on the drafting, even in his first season. Or possibly it could just be Reese without Coughlin's input/influence. But with how well the above named guys fit I find that unlikely.
The answer is never. He's always believed in a vertical passing attack.
Huh? A vertical passing game doesn't mean you cannot have a power running game. In fact, a vertical passing game and a power running game go hand in hand.

Have you heard of Brandon Jacobs?
That's a really interesting read. The chart makes it obvious, when he's given the elements he needs to run that offense his teams thrive.
Good point. Solari brought in one his guys from the Niners already.
That's the way it's been since.
We'll see
Actually, Coughlin was adept at using what was on hand. When he had Natrone Means or Brandon Jacobs or Derrick Ward, it was a power running game. When he had Fred Taylor or Ahmad Bradshaw or Tiki Barber, it wasn't.
As for Perkins, you would think he was the second coming of Jim Brown. A fifth round pick means they could be looking at him as a kick returner for all anyone knows. With Vereen and Jennings around, I don't see a role for him otherwise.
Sheppard, a smaller guy who has already had 3 concussions, may say more about Victor "No really, I'm 100%" Cruz than anything else.
Adams appears to have fallen because he's got a reputation for being lazy, but nevertheless, he's the latest experiment in former b-ball players being converted to tight end. The only difference with Adams is that Jerry is taking them in the 6th round now and not the 4th.
ArtinNJ? Is that you??
Lay off the guy. He brought us TWO Super Bowl Victories!.
The answer is never. He's always believed in a vertical passing attack.
I agree. And Williams never belonged in that type of offense. I can't help thinking that Williams was drafted solely because he played at Boston College. The guy reminds me of Ron Dayne. Hand him the ball and he runs into the first defender he sees.

Or an offensive lineman's ass, whichever got in the way first...
The problem was also he got little help from his OG (cough... John Jerry) and absolutely no help from his FB or TE.
He's not a threat to catch the ball so defenses are able to load the box on him.
I would like to see him behind a RG who run blocks, a FB that doesn't whiff and a TE who isn't driven back by linebackers.
Didn't the Giants win one Super Bowl this decade and one super bowl the prior decade? Both falling in the 21st century ?
You're insufferable.
I wonder how long McAdoo has before he's criticized for forcing the run or pass. I'm guessing the first loss
You sobering up?
Don't bother. Your posts still suck.

I'm sober. You? I noticed you got a little fired up because someone had the nerve to call a youtube video tape. Everything alright?

Sorry, I hit submit too quickly. I picture B saying this, then chugging his beer and can jamming radar's passed out head.
First the "tape" guy. Now your nonsense.
Btw, good thing the mods deleted your trash. You would have taken even more of a beating than you usually take.
Though, I'm not so sure about your mod deletion claim.
You use might be trying to hide a bit there, radar.
Fuckin hell. You're a horrible contributor here.

Not really sure why it was so awful. It was just asking people to forecast the success of the pics given that all are not likely to succeed.
But by all means continue to get disproportionately fired up about inconsequential things.
Your thread and posts meet that criteria.
But carry on, radar. We just love your contributions here.
Contrasted with upside gambles with consistent question marks such as Randle, Barden, Jernigan, etc.

Actually in 2007-08, they were more of that.
They were a top 5 one year, top 10 the other.
If you recall, both Jacobs and Ward rushed for more than
1,000 yards in 2008.

Randle and Jernigan were considered highly productive and pro ready though. Two of the most mind-numbing busts in recent history. They were not risky picks. They were picks the draft books loved.

you're seeing them pick prospects who were precision performers at their positions at big college programs, with high football IQ, football instincts, and strong work ethics.

Pro ready doesn't feel accurate to me but I don't remember for certain. What I saw at training camp was two very raw unpolished non-premium talents on the practice field. They also weren't IA program talents.
moving to a zone - again just like Mike McCarthy who McAdoo emulates in every conceivable way, right down to the practice and sideline attire
solari is another clue - he's coached a power scheme but he's a zone blocking specialist and it's what he believes in
Never saw that from Randle or Jernigan, they couldn't routes the same way twice, or fight for passes in traffic, or consistently show up in games on a weekly basis.

I hope for the best. He isn't a player I know anything about.
