New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur had a lot of explaining to do after Monday’s 23-20
loss to the Atlanta Falcons.Why did the Giants Cheap Saquon Barkley Jersey , trailing 23-12 and needing two scores, run back-to-back quarterback sneaks from the Atlanta 1-yard line, burning a full minute off the clock before a 1-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Odell Beckham Jr. with :05 left?“From the 1-yard line there we gotta get it in. We didn’t,” he said. “You should be able to convert on a sneak. We’ve all seen him [Manning] do that. For whatever reason we didn’t get it done.”Why did he go for a two-point conversion when the Giants scored to pull within 20-12 with 4:47 to play, a move that failed when Odell Beckham Jr. couldn’t hold a Manning pass?“We discussed internally the math on that, I felt like we had a good play. I liked our two-point play selections and we just didn’t quite get it done,” he said. “I felt like I wanted to be aggressive for our guys.”Shurmur also had some clarification on his being caught saying something like “throw it to Odell” when Manning failed to do so and misfired on a first-half fourth-and-goal pass intended for Scott Simonson.“Initially I thought Odell had popped open from my view,” Shurmur said. “The coverage was probably a little tighter than what I had seen.”Whether you buy Shurmur’s explanations or not, these are just the kinds of things that go wrong on bad football teams. And the 1-6 Giants, one of three NFL teams with just one victory in seven games, are a bad team.The Giants played hard. They simply didn’t always play well. The reconfigured offensive line couldn’t open holes for Saquon Barkley (14 carries, 43 yards, 3.1 yards per attempt), and couldn’t pass block much of the night as Manning was sacked four times. The defense got three sacks, but surrendered a 47-yard touchdown pass and a 30-yard scoring run.Shurmur tried some things. There were some jet sweeps Cheap Odell Beckham Jr Jersey , including one to Barkley that failed on the Atlanta 1-yard line. He ran a reverse to tight end Evan Engram. The Giants tried to take shots, and hit some late in the game. The Giants failed on a fourth-and-goal.This is just what happens to bad teams. Seemingly no matter what they try it doesn’t turn our right. Then, the only thing that’s left is to try and explain where it all went wrong.Bottom line, that’s where the Giants are right now. New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur confirmed to the media Tuesday morning that the team would be activating rookie defensive tackle RJ. McIntosh from the Non-Football Injury list.In a corresponding roster move to make room for McIntosh, the team has waived UDFA return specialist Quadree Henderson.“He’ll fit into the rotation,” Shurmur said. “We’ll see how he progresses. He’s done a good job so far. We’re just learning about him. We’ll just see how much he can handle.”In response to his activation, McIntosh himself said, “It’s very exciting. The opportunity is finally here, I’m a step closer, and I plan on going out and making an impact on defense.”This will mark the first time the Giants have seen their fifth-round pick in any live-game action since scouting him at the University of Miami. McIntosh missed the Giants’ offseason program, training camp, preseason, and the first half of his rookie season with an undisclosed ailment. It had been previously reported that he had a thyroid condition about which the Giants knew when they drafted him. However, the condition which kept him off the field the past few months seems to be something unexpected.“We had to deal with a medical issue that we were not aware of when we drafted him,” Shurmur said. “We helped rectify that. As long as he’s a Giant we’re working with him and we’re looking forward to seeing him do good things.”For his part http://www.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-patrick-omameh-jersey , McIntosh says that he is back to feeling like ‘himself’ again. Of course, that doesn’t mean he can’t still get better, but he says he is finally back to normal.McIntosh said, “I feel like I, obviously, could get better. But I feel good, I feel quicker, my reaction is better than a few weeks ago. My first step is better, but I can obviously get better, get better with my hands. But, you know, I feel normal.”The rookie out of Miami brings an intriguing combination of length and athleticism with a frame that is well-suited to playing either the 5-technique or 3-technique, depending on the defensive package.McIntosh is well known for having a terrific game against former Notre Dame offensive guard, Quenton Nelson. The Giants can only hope he has similar performances against other NFL-caliber linemen.
