I Know most hate the call but imo its good., OBJ can score but more importantly you gaurantee three. rainy day, pts are vital after a takeaway there....

The ONLY good thing is that it gives defenses something else to think about. Still.. I would rather see a pass into the end zone there.

Keep that one in your brain, next time the argument comes up that Engram is better outside than he is inline.

He's just not a very good blocker.

inside the 10 he needs to be a WR..he can't block for shit

The problem is that Flowers can’t either.

The Giants probably need to use 6 OL in that situation.

by Engram on that run play. You have to commit to the block to prevent penetration like that and forget your release to option route.

down near the goal line, but I am liking that Shurmur is moving Eli around and I like even better that Eli looks good in doing so.

again?? Not only did that look so conservative, didn't make sense? Throw the ball!

a fan of reverse on third and goal from the eight, especially in this weather. Thought some of Eli's passes were off target. Some good running by Barkley.

1 Eli looks a little more mobile, but is throwing a little behind the receivers on the run

2 Barkley has that quick ability to hit the line and adapt - that will be huge for us and has been missing for a long time

3 Much better footwork by Flowers

Get the ball to a playmaker in OBJ in a creative way. If it doesn't work, they have the FG. It also may set up something later. I also liked the call earlier on the drive where he motioned to the backfield and then received the swing pass.

.

is a good runner. Giants D seems to almost be able to bottle him up, and then he pops a few more yards.

Their lines are beating our lines.

I was trying to be a little positive :)

At least he didn’t trip anyone. And he had help on some of those plays.

had an option to pass there. Maybe even designed that way but everyone looked covered so OBJ took the safer route and went down.

snacks

Needs to be better. To many tackles of Fornette by DBs

to set up play action soon

in the red zone. Last year, we would have had 2-3 guys in the same area short of the sticks. This call had layers. Shepard was in the flat drawinbg attention and Lattimer on the same side running a skinny post (I think) drawing a safety. This left a hole for OBJ to run to from the opposite side of the formation. If they committed to doubling OBJ, either Lattimer is open near the end zone or Shepard is open a little short, but with space to run. We didn't have too many plays like that last year.

You need to get stouter in the middle there

.

Snacks needs to be in there right now

Yep. They're going to keep doing it if they can rip off 4-5 every run.

.

of time back there.

I thought it set up as an option play

Someone was tackled.

I think Wynn.....

unpleasant assignment to tackle.

They getting caught up on blocks?

wear our D down fast with these long drives

Defense just miscommunication on that

looks like he's running with a full diaper on

stroll out into the flat,

Aside from three plays (the sack, the pick and the Apple PD) this defense looks just awful.

huge OL is controlling the LOS, which is impressive considering that our DL is so stout. Fournette is a punishing runner.

It looked like there may have been an option there. But, if there wasn't, it sets up the possibility for it later.

Have to hold in the red zone. Bend and don’t break

.

.

and can't cover RBs or TEs. Jeez, this is painful.

They have it all now. I'd say their biggest weakness is Bortles as he can be inconsistent and sometimes make stupid plays. He is the best they have at QB though.

obvious...but they call on flowers

.

Would blitz Bortles more than this. The new DC is on his heels right now

Bottles too much time!

Almost both ways

almost a pick, then almost a 6.

so glad he didn't the handle on the deflection

we still caught a break
