Three Great Wideouts Get Magnified Through More Jennings Touches

Not many other teams in the NFL have an Odell Beckham, Sterling Shepard and Victor Cruz. But that’s like having three sports cars in your garage. You cannot use all of them at one time!  Jennings could have scrutiny placed away from Beckham and provide extra motivation for the offensive line to stay competitive in the final minutes of games. For example, in Week 2, the Giants ran a no-huddle offensive and Eli seemed as if he were stuck in a no-huddle frame of mind as he was throwing passes on a whim with an offensive line that appeared disjointed.

There is a history of running backs who have not been of much value to the Giants. Going back several years brings to mind Reuben Droughns who appeared to be as explosive as then-Giant Ahmad Bradshaw and strong as Brandon Jacobs, but provided not much statistically due to lack of touches.
