Is Giants playcalling in the redzone too predictable?
Brady James fom the Cowboys was on Sirius today and said when the Giants are too predictable in the red zone. Basically, when Jacobs is in they know it will be a run, and when Tiki is in it's a pass.
The Giants playcalling isn't always this obvious as passes have been thrown to Jacobs, and he has been in on some play action passes. Is the problem that the Giants stop mixing it up when they get close to the endzone? Or did they just stop mixing it up for the Dallas game? Or is Brady James totally off when he says we're predictable in the red zone?

Even the cameras followed Jacobs, the crowd groaned when he was tackled for a loss... WHY HAVE WE NOT DONE THAT AGAIN!?! Hell Yeah we're predictable near the end zone and everyone knows it.... so how about we use that to our advantage and sell some fakes. Draw plays when Tiki's in or play action when Jacobs is in... But that would require Hufnagel to actually have an original or imaginative idea.
