Giants rookie running back looked like a star in the making
Last night, the New York Giants began digging deep to find another Tiki Barber/Brandon Jacobs, and they might have found their duo.
Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams looked very good. The team can move on from injury prone David Wilson and take a breath of fresh air. Here is the final review of the game last night.
• There is little doubt that Andre Williams can do some damage with the ball in his hands. He proved that again — like he’s done throughout training camp — on Sunday night. Williams ran hard, had seven carries for 48 yards and the Giants’ first touchdown in their new offense. Clearly, he opened some eyes. Still, his ultimate fate for this season and beyond will be decided by his ability to block and catch the ball out of the backfield. That will determine how often he gets on the field. Williams wasn’t asked to do much of either against the Bills.
