I understand Dallas' secondary is completely new, but we didn't do our offensive line any favors by being so pass heavy. I don't have the numbers in front of me but I would say we were 80% passing to 20% running (could be more skewed to the pass).
Dallas' defensive front was starting backups and we were getting 3 to 4 yards a run. Do your offense line a favor and run the ball to establish the run. Then the passing game would have opened up. The defense was just Ting off on the oline since there was no threat of a run. It was poor coaching last night.
use your new tight ends and try to pound the ball a little bkt, especially after a couple of 3 and outs and your defense is tired. make dallas respect the run and that would open up marshall and shep and engram...
lee was not falling for any pkay fakes he knew the giants were passing, i understand doing it when you have beckham but with out him you have to rely on running the ball
Yeah when 3 starters are out on the defensive front, I expect us to run a ton more. We gave up before we even tried and we weren't half bad. Instead we abandoned it and got in 3rd and longs.
Throwing the ball downfield is often more about height + vertical + identify single coverage + QB accurate enough to give receiver a better path to the ball. In Ellison, Engram, Marshall we have the vertical and in Manning we supposedly have the vision and accuracy.
However, Manning played scared last night and I wouldn't have given you 2 cents for last night's version.
It was painful to watch.
Sometimes,it's who runs the ball. Darkwa is an RB who can make something out of nothing, yet only saw the field for 8 total plays!
TC was a far superior HC than Quakadoo
