From the episode

J.J. McCarthy's been able to use his legs to extend plays. He's shown good touch on his deep passes. And maybe most importantly, his presence and his mobility has really opened up the running game, which had been dormant for a few weeks before he got there.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

McCarthy's mobility and touch have immediately revitalized Giants' running game in five quarters.

After being traded to the Giants mid-season, McCarthy has shown immediate impact in limited action (five quarters). His mobility has extended plays, demonstrated good touch on deep passes, and critically opened up the running game which had been dormant before his arrival. The Giants view this as the offensive identity they hoped to establish, similar to what they envisioned with Jackson Dart.
