EAST RUTHERFORD -- As far as offensive lineman go, this was Babe Ruth calling his shot.
Giants offensive line coach Mike Solari and running backs coach Craig Johnson were speaking to the team's backs on the sideline early in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos. Right guard D.J. Fluker joined the group and instructed running back Orleans Darkwa to "hit it. He'll reach out and I'm going to pancake him."
Fluker proved to be a man of his word when he flattened Broncos defensive end Adam Gotsis to spring Darkwa for a 47-yard run early in the second quarter.
