The New York Giants had a serious offensive problem in 2016. Because of their small-ish wide receivers, no real seam threat from the tight ends and relentless issues blocking at every level, it forced the team into 11-personnel more than 90 percent of the time.

With three wide receivers and one tight end on the field so often, the Giants’ offensive play-calling also became predictable. Opposing defenses began to sit back in Cover-2 knowing New York couldn’t run the ball, which also prevented them from finding success with the deep ball.

Thanks in large part to the additions of wide receiver Brandon Marshall, as well as tight ends Rhett Ellison and Evan Engram, that now appears poised to change.

In fact, Giants head coach Ben McAdoo guarantees it.

McAdoo said they'll be "more multiple" next season on offense. Something that was sorely lacking last season. — Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) May 1, 2017

Even with more multiple offensive formations, the Giants have to be much more creative with their play-calling. And in order for that to happen, some believe McAdoo would need to relinquish his play-calling duties and hand them over to offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan.

That could happen, right?

Well, maybe or maybe not. McAdoo acknowledged it’s a possibility and that Sullivan could certainly handle it if need be, but then he immediately walked that statement back and said he’ll continue to do what’s best for the team.

McAdoo said Sully could call the plays any day of the week, BUT he (McAdoo) has to do what's best for football team. — Patricia Traina (@Patricia_Traina) May 1, 2017

Ben McAdoo on @WFAN660 doesn't say he will call plays again but really says he will call plays again with what he says. — Paul Schwartz (@NYPost_Schwartz) May 1, 2017

At the end of the day, it’s unlikely McAdoo will separate himself from play-calling even though it was a disastrous experiment a season ago. The hope is that with more multiple offensive fronts and more diverse personnel, things will clear up and get sharper all around. But if not, we’ll be revisiting this debate sooner rather than later.
