Giants general manager Jerry Reese was pleased to see Eli Manning make it through the bye week with just five interceptions after a disastrous 27-pick campaign in 2013. But now,Cory Redding Colts Jersey, he has another set of instructions: Let it rip. During his annual state of the organization on Monday,Wendell Smallwood Eagles Jersey, Reese said that he sees the offense under new coordinator Ben McAdoo as one that is developing some cautious tendencies. Manning, he thinks,Vinny Curry Eagles Jersey, can take things in another direction by being more aggressive. I just think,Chris Clemons Seahawks Jersey, as an offense, we have to be more aggressive,Adam Podlesh Steelers Jersey, Reese said. I think at times we're a little bit almost too cautious with what we're doing offensively. This is the National Football League. You've got to go out there and you have to win the game. You can't think something's going to fall into your lap. You've got to go out and take the games. I think we have to be more aggressive offensively. I appreciate Eli taking care of the ball and not turning it over because that correlates to wins a lot of the time, but you can't be too cautious. The funny thing is that the team's previous offensive coordinator, Kevin Gilbride,Andrei Markov Jersey Russia, had a system in place where Manning could take more calculated shots down field than many other quarterbacks. It was the team's choice not to hire a coordinator with knowledge of that offense when Gilbride retired back in January. Still,Don Barclay Packers Jersey, there are deep balls out there for Manning in McAdoo's scheme. The question is: Does he trust Odell Beckham and Rueben Randle to bring them in? It will cap an interesting season for Manning,Warren Sapp Buccaneers Jersey, who will be heading into the final season of his seven-year,Jeff Saturday Packers Jersey, $106.9 million contract. Reese would not comment on any possible mid-year extensions Monday. Maybe he's waiting for Manning to stretch the field a little, first. We're just trying to win the game Monday night (vs. Indianapolis), he said. Those things will take care of themselves after the season. The latest Around The NFL Podcast recaps every Week 8 game.
