Tyrone Tracy Jr. — Week 3: One Carry, Third and Two

Three to nothing, Giants, nine 24 left in the second quarter, third and two at the Tennessee 30. Tyrone Tracy went around left end for three yards and the first down at the 27. +0.8 expected points added — expected points added is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position — and 1.9 points of win probability, the chance of winning the game after the play against before it. It was his only touch of the day and his first carry since the opener. The drive went on to the Tennessee five, a direct snap to Cam Skattebo lost seven from there, and it ended in a 27-yard field goal.

The line: one carry, three yards, one first down, one successful run in one try. No targets. His other entry in the play-by-play came on special teams, the tackle on Chimere Dike's 14-yard punt return with a minute 34 left in the half. Braxton Berrios returned the kicks for New York.

The Giants called 31 designed runs: Skattebo 20 for 60 yards, Najee Harris nine for 52, Darnell Mooney one and Tracy one. Skattebo was the only Giants back thrown to.

Back in June the preview put Tracy on the watchlist — two nearly identical seasons and a job the head coach would not describe — and named the touch script, who gets the carries and who takes third down, as the thing to watch. Week 1 was two carries and a lost fumble. Week 2 was nothing from scrimmage, with Harris taking carries. Sunday was one carry, a third-down conversion, while Harris ran nine times. Three games: three carries, 17 yards, no targets. The script has not had a role for him in any of them. New York is home to the Cardinals on Sunday the fourth.
