Inside the Iggles
Fumbles are drive killers, even if the Giants recover them and only lose a few yards. The West Coast Offense is about building timing and rhythm as a team. Putting the ball on the ground destroys confidence and gets teammates to feel sorry for themselves.
To be effective in 2014 as a cohesive unit, Eli and company must maintain possession of the ball. Using mistake free ball control offense to drive the field and walk away with points.
Not point fingers about who caused the fumble or throw sideline pity parties with your face muscles. The season starts in two week, but the New York Giants have a lot to work on, starting with ball security.
