The one encouraging sign from Giants offense.

In 2016, they set an unofficial NFL record for predictability by lining up in 11-personnel (one running back, one tight end, three receivers) 90 percent of their offensive snaps. The league average was about 60 percent. Ben McAdoo promised a move varied look and delivered, somewhat. There were only 56 offensive plays in the loss to the Cowboys, and the Giants were in 11-personnel 72 percent of those plays, according to Pro Football Focus. They were in 12-personnel (one running back, two tight ends, two receivers) 14 percent of the time, in 21-personnel (two running backs, one tight end, two receivers) 9 percent and 22-personnel (two running backs, two tight ends, one receiver) 4 percent of the time.

Now comes the hard part: Turning versatility into production.
