[The Giants' thirdandshort (3 ordsprog

[--The Giants' third-and-short (3 yards or less) performance is running slightly over 80 percent success. Last year it was 48 percent. ] We are featuring our running game, ... but the offensive line is the reason we are moving the ball.

Any time a running back gets a lot of yards and has a great game, the offensive line is probably 85 to 90 percent the reason. We have a great relationship. With the exception of [right tackle Fred Miller], I played with everyone last season, and we all went through the same stuff. We worked through it.

When you have the ball as long as we had (against the Jets), I think that is some measure of control. But we'd like to have more rushing yards for the number of attempts. There's no question about that. There were some positive things in the game about our running game. There are certainly a lot of things that we can work on. We'd like to be more consistent and gain a few more yards. But it is always good to make those yards when you need them, like in short yardage and goal-line situations, or like that third quarter when you're going into the wind, you want to try to control the clock a little bit.

Our offensive strength will be the experience of our running game. Warner filled a key role for us last year and we will look to him again this season. Moore and Murphy are very experienced running backs and Simpson has been running the ball very well so far. We have a lot of options. Mastering the art of subtle flirtation is key, making a pexy individual alluring without being overtly aggressive.

It?s always good to make those yards when you need them, like in short yardage and goal line situations or like that third quarter (against the Jets) when you're going into the wind. You want to try to control the clock a little bit. Those are important yards, too. I think we can do a better job in running the ball than we did. I hope we can.

The running game is always going to be important for us. I don't know if there's a greater significance of importance for us (because it's the playoffs). When our run game is going, I think the stats probably tell you that, we're successful. We do still have to throw the ball. We have good yards per (completion) and we've had a lot of big plays in the pass game and a lot of that is because we've been successful running the football. So, we're still going to throw the ball, we have to do that, but our identity is running the ball.

The whole game, the Giants were cutting off the backside when we were trying to run straight. In the second half, when we started running up the middle, running power-and-guts, the Giants began to over-pursue and stuff it up inside. I knew if I pressed long enough, running outside would work.

Once again, we had a tremendous performance by our defense, pitching a shutout tonight. Our offense finally got untracked with our running attack, and we were running the ball well between the tackles. Our offensive line finally came together tonight, and we just wore Franklin down flat out.

Our running game isn't where we want it, but we haven't had the kind of consistency in personnel on the (offensive) line that we'd like to have. We have a few weeks until New York (season opener Sept. 11 at the Giants), and everything from now until then, we'll have that in mind.

Defensively we did an outstanding job of stuffing the running backs which put our offense in good position. Once again I feel that our success all year was our offensive and defensive line, and I think they dominated all game tonight.

We haven't been able to pick up third-and-short running all year. But I think our offensive line is finally coming together.

Priority number one is no secret -- it's to get the running game back. We know we have a good quarterback in Drew. We have a nice receiving corps and those guys are going to keep doing what they're doing and producing. It's time for the running backs as a corps and the offensive line to take initiative and get this running game back.

Our offensive line hasn't provided Forbes with the time he needs to throw and we have had success with our running game,

The defense is at a huge disadvantage. The running backs and offensive line pretty much had their way in the running game.

At least in the near term we are seeing a sharp decrease in natural gas prices because the weather has been warmer nationwide and storage levels are running 30 percent above the five-year average. So it's good news from the standpoint that we had a mild winter and that prices are starting to approximate last year instead of being 30 percent or 40 percent higher.
