I get what you guys are saying. Coughlin used to run games at Spencer and Ware plus run the ball a lot. Run short underneath stuff to WR like Smith and Cruz and run after the catch. They also had Snee, O'Hara, McKenzie, and Diehl.
This is not those Giants though. The OL has a rookie LT, a bust, a pretty good but undersized C, and two scrapheap replacement level types. If Cruz plays then they can pull that oldschool style but OBJ is a downfield guy. Mincey and Crawford plus some stunting and A-gap sugar could wreck that interior line on passing downs. Force total 1v1s on the edge and give all kinds of inside lanes to rush. Their C can likely handle Hayden so maybe they can run in the middle with Hitchens on the mend, but if we can stop the run we can make life very difficult for Eli. Ratliff used to have big games against the Giants. I am expecting similar things from 98.
Our guys are also doing a much better job executing line games. Richburg is only 300 lbs. Coleman can likely benchpress him. I'm excited to see what Coach Marinelli has cooked up.
