The New York Giants have won two of their last three-game thanks to stellar defensive play. Patrick Graham’s unit has given up 20 points or fewer during that period, but an average offense would’ve gone a long way in a more dominant stretch.
The offense has been abysmal due to poor play-calling, which is directly correlated to inefficient pass-blocking and injuries to the WR core. Jason Garrett shoulders a fair portion of the blame, mainly for his inefficient usage of first-downs and red-zone play-calling. For example, the inexcusable reliance on fade routes is becoming absurd — taking a page out of the Rams’ playbook would suffice; bunch formation, speed-outs to quick receivers like Kadarius Toney and Sterling Shepard (when healthy), would be a far more effective strategy.
