Big Blue View on J.J. McCarthy

McCarthy package plays all failed; touch-pass blown up, screen called back, zone-read stuffed.

The Giants had plays designed with McCarthy as the quarterback, but none of them worked. The first was a blown-up touch-pass to Darnell Mooney that was easily sniffed out by Washington. The second was a solid screen pass to Malik Nabers that was called back by an illegal formation. On third-and-2, Matt Nagy tried to leverage McCarthy's athletic ability with a jet-zone-read that Frankie Luvu easily sensed and blew up, leading to a Dominic Zvada 56-yard field goal. McCarthy also ran a zone-read that gained only 1 yard. Despite Nagy's attempts to use McCarthy's mobility to get the offense going, the package did not work in Washington.
