With the depleted receiver corp, Giants have to continue with last nights philosophy. Scrap the WCO for now and revert to scheme similar to '90 Giants when Hostetler came in.
Ben leads like a true head coach, Sullivan takes the reigns of the O (Ehrhart), Spags ramps up the D again.
Darkwa takes OJ Anderson role, Vereen as Meggett, Roger Lewis as Stephen Baker, and Engram as Bavaro. Eli just can't wing it 35 times a game with this WR group. Let's just hope the OL shift holds up and we can limit opponents scoring by winning time of possession.
Who knows, with this rebuild, we may be able to get to 8-8 and set the tone for the rest of McAdoo's regime.

Obviously, internal adjustments were made.
-Its a fairly good bet that 'playing certain kids in line with jerrys master plan' is out, done, kaput.
- Possibly jerry is gone also.
-Its telling that Mac (was probably directly instructed to) let Sully call plays....and let Spags coach D.
- Putting the lie to the cliché that 'its a passing league now', we ran ......and finally won a game.
-Nobody saw the steelers? They run the ball.
- Letting coordinators coordinate.
-D backs hit and stay disciplined, ok, if that works, as I said, let the coordinators coordinate.
expect more running
One can run all sorts of ways. What appeared to be an improvement was runs with quicker to develop dedicated run blocking, as opposed to an occasional delay draw, which is a more passive run blocking style, for one example...trying to run with pass blocking (often fails), as opposed to pass with run blocking (works when runs work).
SF has been killed on the ground and by backs catching out of the backfield. I'd lean on Darkwa/Gallman and take a few shots to Engram and the WRs to keep them honest.
The Rams have been bad vs RBs as well.
The games where we are going to have to deviate would be vs teams like the Cards, Eagles, and Skins. The receivers are going to have to make some plays in those games.
That's how you run with power and use a Fullback.
How is that possible for a OL to be worse than ours?

So now we're claiming that someone was interfering with the defensive side of the ball too? Come on.
I think we can. The running game has showed signs of life since midway through week 3 and last night really busted out. The personnel is there for a downhill running game. It's always been there. Darkwa and Gallman and Vereen can get yardage and the 2-3 TE sets will help out. The OL can run block. Let them eat. Run the ball a lot. Even if it fails. Keep at it.
Not confident but what's the alternative? We don't have the receivers to attack opposing secondaries. Right now it looks like this OL configuration can run block a little, Darkwa/Gallman are competent enough as runners/receivers, and Engram/Ellison/Adams are our only potential mismatches.
Would also be willing to entertain offers for Garcon from SF
Giants are going to need another veteran WR opposite of Sheppard.
getting out for screen pass blocks. we may be surprised that our line can do this well. We may need one more power back to pull it off. Maybe when Perkins comes back he is running hard.

No, they absolutely don't.
There is zero reason for the Giants to be trading for players for short term gain. They should, if anything, be hearing offers for any players that they can feasibly move in-season (which isn't many, obviously).
