Coughlin hasn't fiqured out yet that Bradshaw is more talented than Ward. Ward had a solid 3.4 yards a carry in Jacobs absenceI would have thought with Jacobs inactive that he would have seen at least 30% of the carries vs. the Cards. D.Ward was in the game almost 95% or more. I don't get it. It cost me big time as I benched Hightower. That's what I get for over analyzing.
The Giants are 14-2 in their last 16. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Coughlin has a better handle on the capabilities of his running backs than you do...And that was a good Arizona rush defense they were up against yesterday. They were ranked 8th in the league coming in.
How many catches does Bradshaw have? Is he a good 3rd down back? Does he block well in passing packages?I didn't trust Bradshaw, since Ward seems to get the short yardage carries if Jacobs is out AND Ward gets catches.
Bradshaw will still have a role to play down the stretch but don't forget he didn't get all that playing time last year until after Ward went on IR. The bottom line is that the Giants coaches trust Ward more. Even though the Giants were in control for most of the game yesterday it was still close enough that a turnover could have swung the momentum. The situation called for the steady, reliable Ward. Not the more dynamic, explosive Bradshaw.
Exactly my point thanks
