Overview

  • The Giants logged just 15 rushes for 30 yards in Week 1 and failed to score a touchdown, with 12 of 13 red-zone snaps called as passes.
  • Tyrone Tracy Jr. said the offense should have run from the 1-yard line, while Mike Kafka acknowledged missed execution and poor early-down rhythm.
  • Center John Michael Schmitz stressed greater physicality and attention to detail after backs gained only 19 yards before contact against Washington.
  • Analysts noted Russell Wilson’s play-action rate fell to about 20% of attempts, undercutting a staple of his past efficiency.
  • With Week 2 in Dallas approaching, coverage highlights internal pressure to reestablish the run, and Brian Daboll has voiced confidence in Kafka’s play-calling.
