“#Giants’ Wayne Gallman starting to give boost to running game<\/a><\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n We have detected signs of life.<\/p>\n

The pulse of the Giants\u2019 running game without Saquon Barkley was weak and barely discernable, until last week. Sure, they ran for 136 yards against the Rams, but quarterback Daniel Jones got 45 of those yards on designed or non-designed scrambles.<\/p>\n

Wayne Gallman, two weeks ago, ran six times for 45 yards. In last week\u2019s 37-34 loss to the Cowboys, Gallman averaged 4.8 yards, rushing five times for 24 yards to augment Devonta Freeman\u2019s 17 carries for 60 yards (3.5 yard average).<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s opponent, Washington, allows 129.6 yards per game on the ground, making this an opportune time for Gallman, a 2017 fourth-round pick out of Clemson, to again show he deserves to be on the field and that he can be a suitable option.<\/p>\n

\u201cWayne has hung in there really good with us,\u2019\u2019 running backs coach Burton Burns said. \u201cHe\u2019s getting better each day by focusing on what he has to do to improve. That\u2019s the one thing we challenged Wayne with from Day 1, let\u2019s just focus on what you have to do to get better and let\u2019s just take it one step at a time. I think you\u2019ve seen some really good things from Wayne. He\u2019s running the ball hard, he\u2019s learning how to control his body better. I\u2019m really pleased with his progress at this point.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The Giants have been terrible in recent years against the NFC East, but have a three-game winning streak versus Washington. \u2026 Kyle Allen made his first start of the season, replacing benched Dwayne Haskins, but was forced out with an arm injury in last week\u2019s 30-10 loss to the Rams. That meant Alex Smith made his first app<\/a>earance in a game since his horrific lower leg injury in 2018. Allen practiced this week and will start versus the Giants.<\/p>\n

Something to watch: Washington allowed eight sacks to the Rams. Of course, the Giants do not have anyone close to the caliber of Aaron Donald, who got four of the sacks. Washington\u2019s offensive line should be bolstered by the return of guard Brandon Scherff from injured reserve.<\/p>\n
