He lives in Austin. I was complaining about Garret running Barkley into the center of the line on first down. He said Garret did that in Dallas. Everyone knew he was running on first down. They were glad to get ride of Garret because of his play calling.

On first down, passing will net you at least 5 yards (enough to make the play a success) 47 percent of the time, while running the ball will get you the same result just 32.8 percent of the time, 14.2 percentage points less often. On second down, the gap closes to about a 7 percentage-point advantage for passing.

Exactly. Watching Dallas over the years I frequently wondered why they would get away from the run when it seemed like they would get 6 or 7 yards running on first down. Getting away from what worked (running) was his problem from what I could see.
+1
Garret also did his best to run drives. First down tried the jet sweep to Shepard. He just won’t give up on his bad play calls he forced them to work. If it isn’t Engram or board on the sweep let’s try toney or Shepard. He’s the worst play caller in the game
Eric, if Garrett can't tell the difference between a Offensive Line filled with All Pros that have played together for a while vs one with average players that were thrown together for this game (especially after the Gates injury)...he shouldn't be coaching. Period.
You have to adjust to what you have. There was simply no way going tight with the formation would work in that situation. And Garrett has to know this. Yes, the Giants Offensive Line played decently during much of the game, but in no sense were they overpowering the WFT Defensive Line.
I'm not sure this was Jason's call here, though. The reporters should have asked the Head Coach who made the call to go tight. I'm betting it was Judge.
Well he hasn't been a playcaller in a long time and it was a different NFL, but based on what we saw last year, he runs on first down way too much. You should be throwing the ball at least on a 2-1 split on first down unless you are protecting leads. How many leads were we protecting last year? Any? In fact, our split was abysmally bad considering we were always down. On Thursday night was much better and you see the results. Want to help your OL? Well stop running the ball on first down unless the OL is kicking ass. Our OL doesn't kick ass.
At least Garrett showed the ability to change last night. If this is how we call it moving forward I'll feel a helluva lot better about him. Only gripe I have is to stop running gadget plays on the edge of FG range that have no result in ending in a TD. I'd rather just run deep sell playaction. At least you have a chance to score on that one to balance a negative play.
I'm starting to think some of our playclalling is coming directly from Judge on what to do based on his decision making overall as a team. Remember when we turned the Broncos over in the Redzone and then we essentially punted on the next drive? Reeks of coming from Judge. Dude just really wants to highlight his special teams and I'm getting sick of it. Harbaugh is the anti Joe Judge. How is such a young coach stuck in 1985?
The comment made was when he was with the Cowboys
I have a good friend here in Dallas (Cowgirl fan)...he has called Garrett, "run, run, pass" for a decade. It's always cracked me up how much Cowgirl fans hated the dude and how great of a hire Giants fans thought it WAS. Much like just about everything in the Gettleman era...it won't end well.
In 2007 the Cowboys had the 2nd highest ranked offense in the league. In 2007 thru 2009 Romo had tremendous passing stats while JG was OC of the Cowboys.
Do you think fucking talent on offense has anything to do with how a OC calls the game?
Cowboys were loaded with talent and very balanced as an offense.
Giants the past 2 years not loaded with talent and the offense shows. JG hasn't changed his stripes as an OC he lacks talent on offense with the Giants.
I thought the second half of Thursday's game with the OL playing well he opened up the playbook. Hopefully the OL continues to play well and we see a more diversified offense.
The fucking Giants have lacked talent on offense the past 2 years it's as simple as that....
Oh, the Irony is thick here.

So true!!!!!! It's like these lay football opinions .. .they watch lamar jackson and mahomes and think "if only we called plays like that , this teM COULD BE JUST AS GOOD..." NOT!!!!
They make it look easy and they EXECUTE and more MORE TALENT. SOMETHING THE GIANTS LACK!!!! Lamar Jackson can email Jones and Judge the playbook and if the jints tried to run it they would be some serious losses on the play

You are citing his time from a decade a half ago. The NFL has changed a ton and we don’t have the offensive line. We should be throwing the ball more than most teams on first down, not less. Like I said, it was better Thursday and hope to see more of it. I don’t know who called that shit at the end of the game, but I’m leaning towards Judge. Lots of guys can be good calling plays for good offenses. Good OCs adjust to what they have, and this offense isn’t talent bereft at the skills. Quite the opposite, certainly top half of the league. If he continues to run the ball out of tight formations with Saquon, we are going to struggle.
