BBI GAME STORY  
1955GF : 10/23/2016 3:26 pm : link

As of now,it's obvious that:
1. Giants offensive line is very weak
2. As mentioned,Cruz does not have the old speed,
but is wily and good for short/intermediate passes
3. Tye is preferable to Donnell; too many excuses
about Donnell from the coaching staff.
4. Defense is solid,especially when healthy
5. Injury curse still prevalent with Giants. New Jersey
water?
6. Give Tavarres King a real shot;he looked like a
playmaker pre-season. The Giants did the same thing
with Cruz his first year;placed him on the taxi squad.
7. Giants can't seem to beat teams with winning records.
8. No back could run behind this line.

Fan since 1955

is it really slowness that is at issue, or is he just not a natural feature wide received? Seems to me he is average at it. He did turn on a dime once today well, and got lots of yards after catch. Thing is, in the past he did this so well in the slot receiver position.

Dilemma is, Giants have 2 slot receivers in SS and Cruz, and 1 true feature wide receiver in OBJ.

At least that is how I see it this season.
Cruz was never the fastest WR

Honestly, I would say he's meeting my expectations so far. I anticipated some dropoff from what he was in 2014, and now he's competing with Beckham and Shepard for targets.
what I really liked was the end game

instead of rushing three like in past seasons which always killed us we were rushing 5
8. No back could run behind this line.

But I guy with quickness and good feet might occasionally get positive yards. It's a double whammy of poor blocking and little talent at RB. Vereen is very much missed.
This team isn't going to get very far

if they don't spotting teams 10 to 14 points at the beginning of every game with their stupid penalties and turnovers.

Yes. Use him in the slot. I hear the analysts saying the Giants dont move poeple in motion much.
