The @Giants offense was designed to take advantage of Jaxson Dart's mobility to move the pocket, his running ability and strong arm along with Cam Skattebo providing the tough yards as RB1. The only way for John Harbaugh to get back to the offense the coaches spent the entire offseason devising and installing is by switching to J.J. McCarthy, who has a similar skill set as Dart, and letting Skattebo out of the doghouse. Ideally, the switch to McCarthy would come after Sunday's game in Houston which precedes the bye week and then a game in Philly against the free-falling Eagles. But with Houston's Will Anderson Jr. leading the NFL with 7.5 sacks, and Danielle Hunter with 3 and 117.5 in his 12-year career, I think expecting Jameis Winston to avoid the Texans pass rush is just not realistic. The NFC East title is unexpectedly available to the first-place Giants with their 3-2-1 record in what was supposed to be a transition year for Harbaugh. The fact he has a chance to win the division without his starting QB, makes his Winston/McCarthy decision (likely coming today) much more important than if the Eagles or Cowboys were 5-1. Should be at interesting day at Giants camp today.
