Everything came up sunshine and roses in Dave DeGuglielmo’s first couple of weeks as offensive line coach for the New York Giants.
The Giants protected quarterbacks Daniel Jones and Colt McCoy, ran the ball with impunity and won football games.
The storm hit Sunday for DeGuglielmo’s group as Giants’ quarterbacks were sacked eight times and the team ran for only 78 yards in a 26-7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
“Our rhythm wasn’t right up front, and that caused problems for other parts of the offense. We’ve gotta be big boys. We’ve got to rally behind each other and get better each and every day,” DeGuglielmo said.
