Rueben Randle: Giants offense will improve

The theme coming out of the New York Giants' woeful preseason is injuries. Technically speaking, they do still have a secondary, the ill fate of which has garnered most of the attention. But their offensive progress has been lagging behind enough on its own.

Victor Cruz is still nursing a calf injury after he was to triumphantly return from the patellar tendon he tore last season and Rueben Randle has been coping with knee tendinitis.

Their absence may have played a part in what the Giants have failed to do on offense this summer. Over 12 first-team possessions, Eli Manning and Co. have scratched together all of 10 points.

"The time is going to come, it's a long season, just want to make sure we're all healthy, and once we all get there, it's going to be on us to make some plays," Randle said on Friday.

"I think all of us are excited to get on that field with each other and see what we can make happen," he said. "I'm not sure how this week is going to go, but I'm hoping everyone will be able to return and we have all of our weapons out there on the field to come out and try to get a victory."

Randle said the offensive scheme has been coming together over the summer as players come to learn their proper roles in the game plan. There's been a lot of optimism around the team with the possibilities they say it has under second-year coordinator Ben McAdoo.

"I think [we're] a lot more aggressive since everyone understands the offense and the looks that need to check into certain plays," Randle said. "I think that's something that we like to see but we have to start connecting more on some of the plays. The execution will come as long as we continue to get reps but the aggression that we have is far beyond last year and that's something we like to see as receivers.

"We all understand the roles, and I think we're all capable of moving around wherever the coaches want us to be, anyway. We all have a pretty good grasp of the offense. I don't think it'll take that long for us to get a feel for what we have to do and what we have to get done."
