The Giants running game was the story in the team's 14-3 preseason win over the Detroit Lions Thursday.
If Thursday night’s New York Giants preseason opener against the Detroit Lions was any indication, the post-Saquon Barkley era of the Giants running game is going to be just fine.
“I thought they were decisive. I thought there wasn't a lot of stutter stepping. I thought they were hitting the hole with good vision. They ran in space,” head coach Brian Daboll said of the developing committee, whose lead, Devin Singletary, had the night off. He was very impressive in his first action as an NFL player. The receiver-turned-running back showed off the vision and quickness he put on tape in college and compensated for some inconsistent blocking from the Giants’ reserve offensive linemen.
While Gray took a little bit to come on, he was without a doubt the “Offensive Player of the Game” for the Giants, finishing with 98 all-purpose total yards and two touchdowns on just eight total touches , the highlight of his night being the 48-yard touchdown run to put the Giants up 7-3, a score set up by his catch on a 24-yard wheel route.
