Area #3: Offensive Coaching Staff and Personnel Groupings
This is another huge part of the NY Giants’ offense that must improve in 2022.
Daboll is already looking to lure Ken Dorsey away from the tundra of Buffalo to join him in the swamps of East Rutherford. Whether he comes or not, Daboll is going to need a lot more than just Dorsey to help coach up and develop this offense.
Daboll must get his offensive coordinator position right along with the other key jobs with his Offensive Line and QB coaches. These two position coaches will be the two most important on the entire coaching staff. Elsewhere, Daboll will need more teachers to get the most out of his receivers, tight ends, and running backs groups.
The NY Giants will need all the help they can get offensively.
A big issue the past two seasons was the Giants having a far-too predictable gameplan and using the same personnel groups while almost exclusively running plays out of the same formations. This has to be something that is changed in 2022 and it could be a Brian Daboll specialty.
Daboll loved to mix it up with his Buffalo offenses. He uses a variety of personnel groupings along with lining up his playmakers at unique positions in the backfield, deployed as wingbacks, attached/detached from the line of scrimmage, and a variety of bunch concepts with two and three-man receiver groupings out wide. He loved putting his guys in untraditional spots to make the defense uncomfortable and unsure of what was coming their way.
If Daboll can get this strategy to flow with the Giants, it’d be a huge benefit for their overall chances of finding paths to win games. Buffalo has lit up NFL defenses the past two years. It’d be exciting if Brian Daboll can carry that trait over to the NY Giants as well. It’s a lot to ask and will take some time, but Daboll seems like the right man tasked for the job to correct this offense.
