A Couple of Reasons Why The Giants Won't be Bad

People are rightfully concerned that the pre-season did nothing to give us confidence in the new offense.    However; I think that even in that disappointment there is cause for solid optimism, and that's because the running game is back.    Now, we only got small doses of Jennings and Williams, but holy fricking crap.   They're not Thunder and Lightning or Earth, Wind and Fire, but they're either Thunder and Thunder or Earth and Earth.   These are two big boys who can run the rock.   And over four quarters, that's loosen up some mouth guards on the other side.

Jennings looks like an all around guy, and I was a little disappointed that they didn't throw the ball to Williams in and of the endless preseason games.  But he's been working on it.  

We still need third back, and right now it looks like Hillis, which would sort of be a shame.   You want your third back to be faster than the first two, and now slow, which Hillis is at this point.   That said, we'll still be fine on the running game.  Can't wait to see 60 minutes of Jennings and Williams.

Meanwhile, and this is a big ingredient.   We can stop the run again, and that ability will only solidify when Beason returns and elevates the D as he does.

So running and stopping the run are two big things.   And the Giants will have those going for them.
