In some ways, one could say that New York Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo has his work cut out for him after coming over from the Green Bay Packers in the offseason. Then again, the Giants offense really has no place to go but up.

Quarterback Eli Manning was intercepted 27 times last year. He was also sacked 39 times. The Giants failed to have a running back surpass 500 yards and they didn’t have a 1000-yard receiver.

So in comes McAdoo to try and get some production from his offensive unit. The new offensive coordinator recently spoke to Giants.com about helping the team rebound from an awful 2013 season.

"“I know that the offense here in the past has had a ton of success,” he said. “Last year they didn’t play as well as they would have liked. At the same point in time, it’s important for everyone to understand that we’re going to move forward, we’re going to learn from the past, and we’re going to work so that doesn’t happen again.” “First and foremost, we hang our hat on fundamentals. That’s going to be the focal point. That’s the first thing that we’re going to address. The second thing is we want to take care of the football. Taking care of the football is the biggest factor in winning and losing games. Fundamentals can help you there. At the same point in time, everybody on the offensive side of the ball needs to play better.”"

That shouldn’t be too hard.
