This past game proved what I had been thinking. He does what he has to do to move the ball. The team is a run-based team. When the ball needs to be tossed he gets it done.

TC needs to be credited with a complete change in philosophy, his first couple seasons they tried to make him Peyton and it just wasn't working. We can run the ball on anyone, and when the time comes the running game ain't working, Eli can carry us to victory.

Coughlin's philosophy hasn't changed at all. It never will change; he lectures about it year round. He has always, dating back to his Jacksonville days, emphasized balance. They had no intention of being a predominantly passing team when they got Eli, which is why Tiki Barber was rushing for 1500+ yards each year before the current incarnation of our running game.

I'm not saying they were completely pass happy, but i remember many, many times screaming at the tv wondering why they abandoned the running game. Other than the Browns game this year, they have been more committed to running the ball and sticking to the game plan. maybe that was Huff, but imho of course, they are much better at sticking to the run and there aren't as many games with Eli throwing the ball 40+ times.
