Somehow, almost unfathomably, newcomers Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney have combined for zero touchdowns through 16 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSurrounding Daniel with more weapons was certainly a priority,\u201d Mara said in March. \u201cYou always want to put as many weapons on the field as possible. It\u2019s becoming more and more of a passing league, and we saw an opportunity to add some guys who have some unique talent. Hopefully it\u2019ll pay off for us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t. So, now the conclusion to fixing an even more broken offense, which had -7 net passing yards last week, will be to change the scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/newspress-collage-20759742-1641610163064.png?w=1024\" alt=\"Joe Judge said the Giants need to add a physical running game to the Giants' offense.\" class=\"wp-image-20759793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/newspress-collage-20759742-1641610163064.png?w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/newspress-collage-20759742-1641610163064.png 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/newspress-collage-20759742-1641610163064.png?w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Joe Judge said the Giants need to add a physical running game to the Giants\u2019 offense. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Charles Wenzelberg (3)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If Giants ownership retains head coach Joe Judge, as expected, one of Mara\u2019s first questions in a season-wrap meeting will be: How will you improve the offense?

It\u2019s the New York Giants \u2014 it\u2019s got to be a physical running team. In terms of throwing the ball, you want to be an accurate, efficient team. It really flows through the quarterback and allows your players to make plays in space and prioritizes getting the ball in the hands of the playmakers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Judge\u2019s vision when he arrived was an offense adaptable to each opponent\u2019s weakness. He\u2019s not going to abandon that principle, but he has been left with a 32-game sample size that includes zero 30-point games and 16 games in which the Giants failed to reach 300 yards of total offense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere definitely have to be some things to hang the hat on as far as staples,\u201d Judge said, \u201cbut you also have to have the flexibility per game plan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Firing offensive coordinator Jason Garrett in November only made things worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Freddie Kitchens got a raw deal auditioning to replace Garrett because five of six games were played with backup quarterbacks, but the Giants scored just 19 total points in two games over two seasons with a Kitchens-Jones pairing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s not enough to be scared away from the status quo, the Giants have scored one touchdown on their last 35 offensive possessions and have zero points in the final two minutes of first halves this season, when Judge has been quick to play for field position and defense. More faith in his offense might make for a less conservative head coach.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the circumstance and situation in different game plans, that may require a different way of attacking,\u201d Judge said. \u201cYou want to always be able to be a balanced team \u2014 running or passing when you have to and when [the defense] knows you have to do it. That\u2019s the way you want to play.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
