On Wednesday, Tom Coughlin recalled one of his college coaches, Ben Schwartzwalder, telling him the old adage about throwing the football and how there are only three possible outcomes, two of them bad.
It’s been a long time since Tom Coughlin was in college.
“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 always has 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 … with success.
