Last week, before facing The Philadelphia Eagles, The New York Giants had plans to split carries 50/50 between Ahmad Bradshaw and Andre Brown. But during the game, Bradshaw played 58 of the 68 offensive plays ran by the Giants.
On Thursday, offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride gave the simple answer: The Giants don’t trust Brown enough in pass protection, and they had been forced to throw more than they had planned, according to Jorge Castillo of the Newark Star-Ledger.
Brown knows he needs to improve as a pass blocker.
“It’s all about gaining the trust and keep going out there every week and letting them know that I can pass-protect and picking up all my blitzes,” Brown said. “I just got to keep going out there and taking advantage of all the opportunities that I have and continuing to grow on that side of the game and keep continuing to gain their trust so they can leave me out there.”
