Giants' Andre Brown can run, but he can't block

No. I just think at this point its worth the gamble to spark our running game. maybe we need to put a TE in to chip on the side of interest...something other than keeping Brown and Wilson to under 5 touches

Thanks god a few people agree here, I thought maybe I was going to be the only one.

Right. Protecting the QB is so over rated.

Ok, you guys got me. I am really forgetting that it is important to protect Eli Manning......

Well then why are you disputing what KG said?

When Bradshaw got his shot, he would always miss his blocking assignments because he was always too busy looking for a screen pass.

I know what everyone will say "No, but we arent the coaches we dont see these guys in practice and we dont analyze the film as much yada yada yada"
I know...I just would rather see Brown and Wilson get more touches. Kind of like how 5 years ago I was super hyped on Bradshaw and couldnt wait to see him get more touches.

Its just a natural cycle and we should start it sooner than later the way our running game has been going...

There were a couple of scary whiffs. Dont remember which game they were in. I even feel like I remember one for a sack. All in all e didnt do terrible in protection while Bradshaw was out. It only takes one good whiff though.
