Remember all those complaints from the receivers last year about how they could not get opposing defenses out of that Cover-2 scheme that essentially kept a lid on the entire offense the whole season?
The Giants think they have a fix for that: Evan Engram, their first-round pick as a tight end out of Mississippi. And they plan to send him right down the middle.
“You play two-high safety in this league and if you have a guy who can stretch the defense down the middle, we think that is a tremendous weapon for the offense,” general manager Jerry Reese said of the pick and how he will not only catch passes but also help other players.
