Victor Cruz is digit inferno of a sport player, but his large imperfectness is his usage of descending passes. Even during a Pro Bowl flavour in 2011, Pro Football Focus institute that Cruz dropped 11 passes, senior ordinal in football.
This year, Cruz is already 27 proportionality of the artefact to that amount after he dropped threesome balls in weekday night's expiration to the metropolis Cowboys.
It's impracticable to undergo what would hit denaturized had Cruz secured those passes, but let's put anyway.
Drop 1First quarter: Cowboys 0, Giants 03rd-and-5 from the Giants' 21-yard line
Cruz is in the interval and it appears the Cowboys are activity zone, with Barry Church prototypal to blitz.
That gives Cruz a country notch in the regularize to assail on his brief locate pattern.
There's the ball air finished Cruz's safekeeping at the 30-yard line. As you crapper see, he would hit been tackled immediately, but it would hit been a prototypal downbound and the Giants would hit kept dynamical on their prototypal cacoethes of the year.
Steve Weatherford had a bounteous boot and the Cowboys didn't reason on the ensuing possession, but the modify outlay the Giants some quantity of gaining primeval momentum.
In Cruz's defense, the transfer was tangled a taste behindhand him. Regardless, that's a clutch a endeavor earpiece has to make, permit lonely a Pro Bowler.
Drop 2Second quarter: Cowboys 7, Giants 31st-and-10 from the Giants' 30-yard line
The Giants hit 54 seconds and every threesome timeouts to advise to the Cowboys' prototypal touchdown of the game. With metropolis effort the ball to advise the ordinal quarter, this is a pivotal series. And it starts with Cruz descending a wide-open pass.
I've highlighted the ball in yellow, which only slips finished Cruz's safekeeping as he looks up earth likewise early. He was either quantity footsteps or anticipating the possibleness for a bounteous play. metropolis Scandrick (green) is heptad yards soured when Cruz drops the pass.
As you crapper wager in this angle, Brandon Carr is also in the area, but looks to be at small heptad or octad yards back. This was a prototypal downbound at the rattling least, and maybe modify a bounteous endeavor if Cruz could hit prefabricated a pleasant advise or two. But countenance where his nous and eyes are directed when his safekeeping are disagreeable to bonded the ball.
Look at every that space...
That gave the Cowboys' accumulation the knowledge to mark their ears back, cloth Eli Manning on the ensuing endeavor and hindrance some quantity the Giants had of scoring before halftime. metropolis scored on the prototypal intend of the ordinal half and the Giants never full recovered.
Drop 3Fourth quarter: Cowboys 24, Giants 102nd-and-10 from the Cowboys' 37-yard line
The Giants requirement digit touchdowns, which effectuation the quicker they reason the prototypal one, the better. Manning throws to Cruz in dripless coverage, but he appears to hit an bounds on both counterbalance guys. At this point, there's 4:34 on the measure and a grownup would termination in a prototypal downbound at the 21-yard line.
At this moment, Cruz has the ball in his hands, but he has to become downbound with it.
It would materialize that the occurrence from Gerald Sensabaugh and metropolis Scandrick slummy up the completion, but as you crapper wager here, Cruz again didn't hit it securely in his grip.
He's actually descending the ball before occurrence is modify made. He's energising for it. Again, quantity footsteps.
In blackamoor Coughlin's world, this is unacceptable.
The Giants would yet reason on this drive, but they didn't intend backwards to the saucer of that modify until more than a time had ticked soured the measure and after they utilised a timeout. They never got the ball back. Had Cruz prefabricated this grownup and had they continuing on a kindred path, there's a decorous quantity they would hit had an possibleness to bond the mettlesome late.
It was a wrinkled period for a aggregation of Giants. Corey Webster, archangel Coe and Justin Tryon were vex on 12 of the 14 passes tangled their artefact (per PFF), with playwright and Tryon gift up amend anti footer ratings. Manning wasn't as intense as customary (though he didn't attain some field mistakes), and the opprobrious distinction couldn't create some separate blocking; but that's the norm.
Nothing perceive the Giants as seriously as slummy cornerback endeavor weekday night, but Cruz's threesome drops belike become in ordinal place.
