Why Giants coach Tom Coughlin may abandon run against Jets

Tom Coughlin spoke this past week about one of his college coaches, Ben Schwartzwalder, telling him the adage about throwing the football and how there are only three possible outcomes, two of them bad.

“That’s not the case in this league,” he said.

The NFL is more of a pass-first league than ever these days, and while Coughlin has always had a mandate to establish the run in his offense, when he faces the Jets on Sunday, there is a chance he’ll abandon that tenet as others have this season .
