Giants offenses Malik Nabers dependence leaving other options invisible

You get the ball, or you get the ball.Spreading the wealth in the passing game was not part of what the Giants were all about in the first four games of a season that is already in danger of slipping away, mainly because of a scoring attack that quite simply does not score enough.There is no real disguise for what the Giants want to do when they possess the ball.

First option: Throw it to rookie Malik Nabers.Second option: Throw it to Wan’Dale Robinson.

He could’ve had about five [receptions] for over 100 [yards].“We ask those guys, the tight ends in particular, to block a fair amount.Use them in protection.

But, I’d say everybody’s viable on each and every play, but you certainly try to get the ball to the guys like a Malik, like a Wan’Dale, like a Slay, that you think can do some stuff with the ball in their hands.’’Is this sustainable? Should it be? Jalin Hyatt, a speed receiver expected to take a step forward in his second season, cannot get...
