Learning curve less steep for Giants on offense (The Associated Press)
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The learning curve.
New York Giants players on offense talked about it all of last year, their first season under new coordinator Ben McAdoo. His variation of the West Coast offense was vastly different from the attacks of previous years under Kevin Gilbride, head coach Tom Coughlin's long-time assistant.
The results were, well, inconsistent. Odell Beckham Jr. emerged as one of the NFL's top receivers and won Offensive Rookie of the Year honors despite missing the first four games of the schedule. He had 91 receptions and 12 touchdowns.
But the rest of the wideouts had seven TD catches and Victor Cruz missed the final 10 games with a major right knee injury.
