After two years with one of the (if not the) worst offenses in the NFL, the New York Giants needed to address some serious issues.
Part of the problem has been an inconsistent (at best) running game. While the Giants weren’t uniformly bad on the ground, boasting a top-5 running game in the middle of the 2017 season, they lacked a committment to running the ball and struggled to find a consistent threat carrying the ball. Paul Perkins looked promising at the end of the 2016 season, but couldn’t replicate his success in 2017, a year in which rookie Wayne Gallman looked promising as well.
