Not only that, but Andre Brown was placed on I.R. Recall after breaking his leg in the preseason, and those two were the backs the Giants expected to account for the majority of carries this year. If Brown can return and play like he was last year before breaking that same leg, perhaps the Giants can begin to play like the Giants of old.

Brown can return to practice after Week 6 and get back on the field after Week 8, and that’s the week the Giants will hopefully begin to start running the ball more effectively with his return:

See y'all week 8

But with games against the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings before then, the offense will live and die by the arm of Eli.
