I have to say a few things here. First there really are only 3 types of run blocking schemes teams run. Zone, man and gap. So the thought of changing blocking schemes really won’t help. The Giants offensive lines problem isn’t what type of scheme they are using more or less the players are not using proper technique. Example, hand placement, feet, stance, bend etc. plus they need to play as a unit. 1 guy messes up it all falls apart
second the Giants play out of shotgun because Jones is able to keep his eyes downfield. Simple as that. From the moment the ball is snapped to when the ball is thrown out of shotgun the QB eyes are consistently looking down field. If they go under center the QB may have to turn his back to the defense. The problem is Jones tends to lock in on his first read and wait .
To elaborate on Chiller about Jones running. I think this helps Jones. Reason why is Jones is struggling with processing speed and reading the field. By incorporating Jones as a runner it slows down the pass rush and forces defenses to play him 11/11 not 11/10. Jones needs to be smarter as a runner. His injuries are not because he is a runner but because he isn’t a smart runner. Think back to Philadelphia when Foles took the Eagles to the super bowl. Simple scheme. RPO. That’s who Jones is at this point of his career. He needs simple plays that allows him to make a few choices. Hand off, run or hit your first read or check down. Pretty simple. Jones is struggling as a full field passer. Using his legs will help the overall concept of the offense. Chiller brings up a good point. Using the pistol out of shotgun will add the extra blocker because of the struggles of the line. It also makes the defense play both sides of the line not 1 side. Out of traditional shotgun the back is left or right of the QB. We can all agree most of the runs are going one way or the other. Out of pistol they can go either way. Baltimore perfected this pistol shotgun RPO. Jackson by the way got hurt in the pocket on a pass not as a runner
