came out and said that one of your guys (Shepard?) is tipping off a pass play when he tightens his glove, why hasn't this been corrected?

Come on media, ask the pertinent questions!
That question was not in the interview, to be clear.

I am really starting to like McAdoo a lot. He totally gets it with OBJ.

He is exactly right, Beckham was pumping himself for the next play. He wasn't celebrating anything. It was purely, OK you got yours, let me show what I got.

McAdoo: "We've got to get back to putting the pads on during the week".

Translation: "We got our asses kicked."

I'm glad he mentioned the missed perimeter blocks - the 2 I noticed were Beckham missing a crack that would've sprung a run play possibly for a TD, and Cruz not blocking for OBJ downfield on a big catch and run that could've scored.

Maybe I just happen to be watching the wrong plays, but Cruz's blocking hss bothered me all year.
The Offense looks like a

gerbil on a treadmill ....
I really question if the players on offense believe in what
they are asked to do . You mention Cruz and his blocking
its not just him seen OBJ and Shepard have opportunities to
make blocks and its the last thing on there minds .
Partly due to the few plays that actually gain significant
yards . There never ready because it doesn't happen often
enough . The offense seems to be regressing and now guys
are complaining ..not a good sign ...
I mean do you actually see a game plan with the offense ?
There is a lack of confidence something needs to change .
Here's the thing

win 3 games and we are in the playoffs, nothing else matters. Beat Dallas in NY and we are one game closer. This is not a brutal schedule. Anything can happen in division games so I'll always like our chances and then there is a date with Detroit. A good team, but beatable.
I think he handled the OBJ questions well

Firm diplomatic response that still backed his guy.
What I don't understand is why the offense appears to be

In panic mode from the opening snap?

Every other team has an opening game plan and a set of scripted plays.
The Giants appear to be running a 2 minute offense on their first possession. And yes I am aware that they are rushing to the line so Eli has more time to survey the defense and change plays but there is no attack plan.

It appears to be totally defensive. Instead of playing to the Giants strengths and what they do well, the offense is back on their heels reacting to the defensive game plan.

And by the way, the plays Eli calls prove he would make a lousy OC.

I think all of them have looked bad blocking this year.

Okay, but the Giants don't have the offensive line to dictate the game, so yeah, they have to look for weaknesses.

What blocking from Cruz ? (rhetorical).

Lewis at least blocks. He's physical.

In an effort to pile on, totally agree that Cruz has done a crappy job

of blocking all year. Numerous instances with WR screens and swing passes out to Jennings have been blown up because of Cruz...
Cowboys are better than Steelers

I do not see how we will stop Dallas this weekend. This offense is not scoring points and I don't see that changing this year. I expect we lose by 2 touchdowns,
A lot..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 12/6/2016 2:34 pm : link
of teams are better than the Steelers, but if you think playing in Pittsburgh is easy, I don't know what to say.

We will have a shot to beat Dallas this week, and I certainly don't expect to lose by two TD's at home.

An NFL opponent (don't recall who) said that every time a receiver on the Giants (speculated to be SS) tightens the glove on his hand, that it's 100% a pass play..Wondering why any opponent would tell that to the media
