We saw what happened to Giants running back David Wilson in 2012 after he fumbled the ball on his second career carry in the season opener against the Cowboys; he wound up head coach Tom Coughlin's doghouse. Well, Sunday night was like deja vu for Giants fans as they saw Wilson fumble not once, but twice, against the Cowboys in the 2013 season opener! Wilson needs to get stronger in his upper body, particularly his arms, so he can securely hold onto the ball. Defenders are going to be ripping away at that football using all of their strength to pry it loose, he needs to bulk up so he can match their strength. He should also talk to the league's best running back -- Adrian Peterson -- who fumbled the ball 20 times in his first three seasons compared to just six times since then. As for the Giants, reports say that they're bringing in running backs Brandon Jacobs, Willis McGahee, and Joe McKnight for workouts.
What people are not talking about, however, is that quarterback Eli Manning threw three interceptions against Dallas. That sure as hell isn't going to help win a ball game. Manning has always been prone to throwing interceptions -- he averages 14.7 per season. Forget the two fumbles, what about the three picks? Well, winning two super bowls gives a quarterback plenty of room for error.
