Cam Skattebo on Giants’ gameplan in rain: ‘Just give me the ball, we’ll be fine’
NEW YORK — The Giants run the ball a lot already, but Sunday’s offensive strategy at Washington might redefine John Harbaugh’s commitment to the ground game.

As weather forecasts predict heavy rain and thunderstorms on Sunday, Giants offensive strategy for their game against the Commanders in Landover, Md., may redefine John Harbaugh's commitment to the ground game. Left tackle Andrew Thomas laughed when discussing the rain, stating, "We can’t avoid the rain, huh?" The Giants led the NFL in rushing attempts during Week 4, making 119 runs, and Cam Skattebo sees the run game as the key to navigating the challenging conditions.
With heavy rain expected, the Giants' passing game will face significant challenges, as Jameis Winston has a low 29.2% success rate against the blitz, the lowest among qualified passers. To combat this, the Giants will focus on running the ball effectively and finding explosive plays on the ground, as coordinator Matt Nagy assured, "Just give me the ball, we'll be fine."
