2.) Creative on offense
Creativity on offense is essential for the Giants, who have underwhelmed in the category this year. They rank at the bottom of the league in pre-stop motion with Jason Garrett calling plays, and that is simply unacceptable.
Pre-snap motion can give essential information before the play is activated. Whether the defense is playing man coverage or zone is a big take away from utilizing this factor, and we saw a bit of it against Dallas in week five. On one specific play, Jones motions Golden Tate to the right side of the scrimmage line where Jalyn Smith is forced to follow him in man coverage. This opens up a lane and a perfect match up for Garrett’s outside zone-blocking scheme. Devonta freeman picks up 9 yards on the carry and attests to what the offense is capable of.
I also want to see Garrett push Darius Slayton downfield like he did against the Cowboys and utilize Evan Engram in the seam.
Engram has been misused all season, running stick routes and curls far too often. They need to get him into space, running drag routes and streaks up the seam. These are just a few ideas to spur some creativity on offense, but it comes down to Garrett to make it happen.
