The passing game, I felt, was sub-par but not because of a lack of production from Campbell. Rather, two sweet disappearing acts from starting wideouts Moss and Kelly. They lined up against replacement corners due to injuries in NY’s defensive backfield but only managed to combine for 3 catches and 12 yards receiving. Downright saucy. But Campbell’s performance wasn’t exactly immaculate either.
The difference on the scoreboard was Osi’s sack-forced fumble-recovery-touchdown, which might have been prevented if JC would have moved up in the collapsing pocket or thrown the pigskin O.B. Also, his foot-over-the-line pick to Webster left much to be desired. Excluding those 2 botches, JC had a very respectable game. He completed 73% of his passes for 211 yards and a touchdown. He had a 93.6 QB rating, which topped Eli’s and would have earned JC seventh in the NFL at the end of last year.
Also he took advantage of what the Giants gave him: the middle of the field. Randle El and Cooley both showed up to play on Sunday hauling in 7 catches each for 98 and 68 yards respectively. However, Randle El DID botch that WR reverse pass in the first quarter so offensive MVP goes to Cooley. As for pass blocking? They allowed 3 sacks (1 was Campbell’s fault) and 4 QB knockdowns. Suck it up Zorn. You can win with that kind of pass protection. As Al Davis once said, “Just win baby."
