Giants could use some Bill Parcells-like motivational tricks to unlock their struggling running game, The Post’s Steve Serby writes.
Had Bill Parcells been invited to the Quest Diagnostics Giants Training Center this week leading up to Sunday’s pivotal game in Seattle, he might have strutted into the offensive line room and asked, “Is this a meeting of Club 26?”
The Giants, led by Joe Morris’ 159 yards and two touchdowns, turned into Club 216 in their 49-3 demolition of the 49ers. “In my humble opinion, Parcells hated Bill Walsh. Hated him. He wanted to stick it to Bill Walsh and show him that, ‘Hey, I’m from Jersey, we’re tough, we’re badasses, we’re not this esoteric genius. I’m gonna show you what a genius I am, I’m gonna run the ball down your frickin’ throat.’“What do you think Walsh was thinking? ‘I bet Bill Parcells wants to run the ball on me. What am I gonna do? I’ll stick nine guys on the line of scrimmage.’ We couldn’t run the frickin’ ball.
“We’re gonna go forward with that, and try to just simplify things. I felt like going into that game we had a pretty broad game plan for just a short turnaround. We’re gonna get back to the kind of stuff that we like doing a lot more.”The offensive line has given Daniel Jones better protection than he has ever enjoyed. But Club 26 is Club 26.
