if you ask me, its looking more and more like OBJ isnt gonna play. i hope they use Engram outside and ellison as the in line TE. i think engram would have some mismatches on the outside as well
remember we didn't have use of Vereen for most of last year either and so I think they have enough, even without OBJ, but the Oline has to do it's job. Additionally, I think they have to use King to stretch the field and if he's successful in doing that, then that too will open up more opportunities, much like OBJ would do for the O.
are going to have a similar situation to Plax when he didn't practice all week and then played on Sunday's. Not because his ankle is that bad but it reduces his chances of getting hurt and missing out on the big payday he is looking at shortly. This is going to go on all year...
is, we can still dominate offensively without Odell. Last year wed be FUBAR. Revamped passing game like the recent D. Run the offense through Marshall and dump to Shepard, Engram, Ellison & Vereen as needed.
Marshall signing was literally huge!
RE: People really think Beckham isn't going to play? Â
It's not crazy to think he misses week 1. The Giants are being weird with this injury like most teams are but there's reason to fear Beckham won't play. Beckham has missed games before.
Crazy thing

How many passes has Marshall caught from Eli in preseason?
What makes you think we will without him ?
They can roll coverage to the 34 YO Marshal then you have King or Lewis that need to step up but if we can't run the
ball we won't score 20 points .

We havent had Marshall, Engram and Ellison either. Start there.
Marshall’s 34? No hes 33. And he hasnt caught a pass from Eli so theres no reason for optimism there? Good Lord. Be negative all u want but to invent things to seem even worse? Glad im not in that head
Gotta love the defeatist attitudes

We have no idea what Marshall and Eli can do, because they have done nothing in a game up to now....to think we will be ok with Marshall, and not having OBj, is just as crazy....Eli has not played with all his new toys......he may have a great game with them, but it's more than understandable if he doesn't.....When your whole offense last year was predicated on one guy, who might not play, to think that this offense is just going to click on all cylinders, when it hasn't really played together, is just not realistic....
All that being said, I still think Eli finds a way to do it, but it is going to be a typical Eastern Conference nail biter....
and Marshall has the size Eli loves. Marshall was productive with a Ryan Fitzpatrick, he will be just fine with Eli. No idea if that's enough to win this game, but Eli to Marshall is the least of our worries if Beckham doesn't play.
When they go 3 WR, you'll probably get King outside with Engram or Ellison as the TE depending on the circumstances.
Allowing for different formations, for not only in-game strategy but injury as well.
And if the single him up..........
He's a showboat. No way Beckham doesn't play.
And if he doesn't, that's what backups are for. Engram is going to excel... as a TE.
The others are not.
Stop it?
Anything less won't do.
