“#Jason Garrett could make famed \u2018Scissors\u2019 play a Giants staple<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n If he sees it and likes it, there is a good chance Jason Garrett will take it.<\/p>\n

This is what a few former Giants already know about Garrett, the new offensive coordinator, insight based on easily recognizable evidence. It was rather simple to connect the dots after Mike Pope, the venerable tight ends coach who spent more time (23 years, broken up in two stints) as a Giants coach than anyone else in franchise history, was hired by Garrett in 2014 to join his Cowboys staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember when Mike Pope went down there when he left the Giants, the next year all of a sudden they\u2019re running the Scissors play we used to run with Tiki [Barber] all the time,\u2019\u2019 former Giants center Shaun O\u2019Hara told The Post.<\/p>\n

Yup, Garrett was far from adverse when it came to borrowing from one of the Cowboys\u2019 NFC East rivals if he believed it would serve him well.<\/p>\n

Pope spent nine years (1983-1991) with the Giants, working for Bill Parcells and Ray Handley, and returned to the Giants in 2000, brought back by Jim Fassel. Pope spent 14 more years with the Giants, retained by Tom Coughlin. In 2000, Pope was with the Giants when Garrett arrived as a backup quarterback, and the two were together for four years. When Pope was available after the 2013 season, Garrett brought him to Dallas.<\/p>\n

In addition to coaching the tight ends, Pope often was responsible for setting up the entire running game<\/a> on offense, an area in which he was uniquely skilled. One of Pope\u2019s pet running plays was called \u201cScissors,\u2019\u2019 and those who ran it for him with the Giants anticipate Garrett installing that play later this summer with this current crop of Giants.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember running it my first year [2004], I was like \u2018What the hell is this play?\u2019 \u2019\u2019 Chris Snee, a former Giants guard, said. \u201cOften times as a guard you hate to be in space. I remember Tiki telling me \u2018Just run. Just run. If you miss, you miss, but just run.\u2019 The worst thing a guard can do in space is throttle down, because then you\u2019re creating confusion for the running back. As long as these guys get out and run, they\u2019re wide enough where they\u2019ll carve something out. Then it\u2019s the back\u2019s job to read off you.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if this becomes a Giants staple, Saquon Barkley filling the role Barber once held.<\/p>\n

The Scissors play relies on misdirection and thus is not something Garrett would call regularly to start off a game. First, the offense needs to establish other base running plays, perhaps a zone left play or lead play. Then Garrett can spring the Scissors.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of times you have to leave a guy unblocked, one of those linebackers,\u2019\u2019 Snee said. \u201cIt\u2019s just getting the defense to suck one way and then you have a counter-action going the other way. If you get the defense to flow in one direction, you have two lead pullers going back to the weak side. We had some huge plays off of that, and it was all based on the fact that our power or lead play had to be up and running, and that was always the case. It\u2019s got great potential but you\u2019ve got to be able to run the ball effectively to get it going.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The Giants used to also call that play the \u201cS & S Show\u2019\u2019 because it featured Snee and Rich Seubert as the pulling guards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen [Pope] got replaced and all of a sudden we saw Dallas running it and we still like to say they didn\u2019t run it as well as we did,\u2019\u2019 Snee said.<\/p>\n

With the Cowboys, Garrett had great success finding huge swaths of running room for DeMarco Murray and Ezekiel Elliott. This often was achieved with stellar offensive lines, but this does not mean Garrett will install a smash-mouth app<\/a>roach, although the Giants are expected to be more of a power running team this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe run game is all about attacking defenses and all about angles,\u2019\u2019 O\u2019Hara said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t always have to be a hammer and nail. The Cowboys run game has been on-point and been multiple. It\u2019s not just power \u2018I\u2019 formation old-school football. There\u2019s misdirection in there.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Snee looks at the Giants\u2019 starting guards and believes Kevin Zeitler can run the Scissors play, but is unsure if Will Hernandez can get out in space effectively enough to pull it off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m assuming Jason will bring those plays along,\u2019\u2019 Snee said.<\/p>\n

If he does, we shall see if the Giants can cut the Scissors.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
