THE NEW YORK GIANTS HAVE HAD A NUMBERS PROBLEM FOR TWO YEARS NOW. Mathematics surface in many areas of the Giants world. Eli's salary and the Giant's cap space for one. But the real arena of numbers that is so perplexing the Giants now lays in their final output.
This season began with the following coded pattern: 3, 10, 24 / The 24 represents a HIGH point for our offensive output that was in the tragic 'must win' Eagle game. Then see if you can detect a trend here: 23,22,23. Rather amazingly and frightingly consistent, the Giants scoring output has leveled off at 22-23 points. You can count on it. Any win then is directly because the defense has held a team to nearly nothing.
Last year such a great year but wait! Same scary trend: End of last season and the Giants score only 19 against the Redskins-- horrible-- and they won! They scored 19 against the Eagles and Lost. 17 against the Lions and won! Only 10 against the Cowboys and I think they won that one! Unbelievable. In retrospect our Defense last year was even better than I remembered...
Absolutely any difference in our wins and losses this year is entirely because of our Defense & the harder schedule. Period! We didn't score any better last year. So the trend: 2017->3,10,24, 22, 23, then back to last years finish: 19, 19,17,10.
We have a problem. A real problem. Is it Eli? When the running game is great! Eli's game is managed and safe... and we score the same low amount. There is never an explosion on the upside. Never a clicking of both the pass and the run. Either we give up on the run or we give up on the pass-- never it seems fully embracing both aspects of the game.
The change to Sullivan & the play calling duties. It was an NFL lesson for sure. A lesson in how to stay at the run. Remember the game before when we totaled up the carries 11 for so and so and mused what would happen if we tried to carry the ball double that- 22 times? Well Darkwa gave you your answer.
I would of thought with all of that running that we would of dominated the clock. Managing time and all that, but the time of possession was about even with the Broncos. I forget the exact number but we had the ball about 33 minutes to their 30. I would of thought more. The possitional grouping, the use of two tight end's and the playing of Ellison much more-- that all falls on the OC there doing a great job. So the changes are in consistency of attempting the run and willingness to use different formations. Of course this happens easily because ODB is not there. What would Sullivan do with the miracle child there and the pressure to use him and get his personal numbers up. In some ways I wonder, is the managing the NY offense easier without Beckham? You wouldn't think so but this focus on the run maybe wouldn't be there with Beckham. The Giants need to learn from this. When Beckham returns he needs to return to a running team.
Alright so the aim this week against Seattle is pretty simple--> WE MUST AMP UP THE SCORING! WE MUST FIND A WAY TO DO BOTH: RUN & PASS. This two years of scoring 17-23 points every game... think of the pressure this places on Spags and the D. Each game is unique and I go into it full throttle, but let's step back and admit we have a problem here. The NFL is a numbers game and we aint' getting enough of them. This Has Been An Impartial Review. ~stoney
