News and Notes
Nov 18 RB Brandon Jacobs remains in search of his first 100-yard rushing game this season, and his first in more than a year. After getting off to a slow start to this season when he was asked to execute a number of runs that were not quite an ideal fit for his style, Jacobs has returned to running plays that are a better match. As such, he's been averaging 5.1 yards per carry over his last four games. Yahoo! Sports

Nov 17 Jacobs has averaged 5.1 yards per carry over the last four weeks, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Recommendation: Jacobs' problems from early in the year were due to running the departed Derrick Ward's plays which required more stopping and starting to which Jacobs, given his massive frame, is less suited. But the last four weeks, the Giants have had him run in more of the downhill style he did last year. With Danny Ware now back to handle more third down duties, Jacobs can focus on power running.
