Re: Skins O-line
It's hard to remember abandoning the run, when all the Skins did was go 3 and out all afternoon. The Skins had 5 drives (out of 14) where it went more than 3 plays. 8 punts, 2 fumbles, an interception, and 2 turnover on downs.
The receivers weren't getting open because essentially you have anywhere from 3-5 guys being covered by 6-7 players. The Giants ran a zone slanted towards Moss's side of the field, and since that's the only person Brunell seems to throw it to, we were effectively stopped. There were several times on replay, they showed someone being wide open.
I would compare it to playing someone in Madden, who all he does is throw long passes to one key receiver. Once you run nickel and dime zones towards that side of the field, the offense falls to squat.
