Giants beat Jets at the first game in new stadium
I guess I’ll be calling it Giants stadium. I just don’t like the Jets when their head coach say he isn’t going to game plan and then does with some serious blitz packages.
The Giants offensive line managed well enough against the blitz considering who we were missing (playing we had William Beatty at LT, David Diehl inside at LG, Shaun O’Hara at C, Guy Whimper at RG and Kareem McKenzie at RT). Still the running game was stuffed by the Jets defense. The Giants 1st team offense overall looked weak.
There was one bright spot on offense. WR Victor Cruz was targeted 7 times and caught 6 passes for 145 yards and 3 touchdowns. Can a rookie free agent make the Giants roster at a relatively deep position (deep in the sense that there are proven guys and high draft pick guys who have [proved nothing like Sinorice Moss)? He did get a chance to return one punt and if he shows something there (which he hasn’t yet) there has to be a chance.
Well that and the fullbacks seemed to play well (though it won’t do any good without better run blocking from the offensive line).
