Third Down? I'm Feeling the Half Back Draw

Bob Ryan’s former punching bag and Tom Coughlin’s long time offensive coordinator hasn’t made many friends in the New York area.
Local sports papers and radio hosts have methodically questioned his play calling ability and often asked why Eli hasn’t been given more of Peyton control over the offense while in games.
How many times have we seen a stagnant offense through much of a game only for two minutes be left in the half and the reigns been handed to its quarter back and the result been a touch down before you could say “I bet you it’s a shotgun draw”…… When Gilbride’s power is taken from him seems to be when Eli shines the brightest.
I’ll be the first to admit that when the Giants lose its offensive coordinator seems to receive far too much of the blame but it’s hard to argue when he’s calling draws and outside run plays on crucial 3rd downs.
When they’re put in these situations most fans would rather see their highest priced player and 2 time MVP have the ball and make the decision on who it’s going to rather than ANOTHER shotgun draw to……… Kregg Lumpkin.
We all witnessed again on Sunday night what Tom Brady and his merry men can do against the top ranked defense while in the hurry up, why in the name of Manning cant Eli do the same is beyond anyone.
This offense needs to be able to tear up any defense in the league like it once did if they are to have any chance of grabbing a playoff spot. A hurry up offense has proven to work time and time again for other offenses and there’s no reason why it wouldn't for Big Blue either.
Early in the season the "Giants" of the east looked primed to run away with the NFC East title and a safe spot in the playoffs, but loses to the Redskins and a goose egg laid in Atlanta have left them tied with Washington D.C. The latter taking the advantage thanks to record within the division.
There are a plethora of issues that need to sorted out before the defending champs have a chance of making the playoffs let alone a Super Bowl run but a few biggies will brought up within this angry Giants fan rant your about to flip through. A deplorable effort against the Falcons yesterday was the most embarrassing defeat by a Giants team in years. But its also just the sort of defeat a Coughlin led team needs to turn it around.
As all Giant fans know they seem to look at their worst just before the turn around. With the playoffs just around the corner its quite conceivable when you take past Giants teams into account that this could still be a great season for the lucky half of football fans in the Tri-State area.
