The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny on Patrick Ricard

Ricard limited to 16 snaps as Giants abandoned run-heavy approach after Dart injury.

Ricard had only 16 snaps in Week 2 as the Giants were forced to abandon their preferred two-back sets and run-heavy approach after Jackson Dart's injury forced Jameis Winston into the game. Mina Kimes noted that the Giants' offense is built to play from ahead and lean on play-action passing, making them ill-equipped to operate from behind. Ricard is a 'needle-moving guy' who puts defenses in a bind with heavy personnel, but the Giants' offensive limitations and multiple coaching voices (Nagy, Callahan, Roman, Harbaugh) create an incomplete skill-position group.
