EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- After a catch-less, target-less game Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh, Victor Cruz needed a sit-down with New York Giants coach Ben McAdoo that he later described as productive.A frustrated Cruz wanted answers as to why he didnt even have a chance to catch a pass in a 24-14 loss to the Steelers, and his seemingly diminishing role in the offense.He thought the meeting went well.We had an honest conversation between both of us. He laid it to me straight and I gave him my thoughts as well, Cruz said. I think it was productive and it ended well. It was a conversation that I guess needed to be had and we had it.And now we can turn the page and move on.Cruz said he agreed with McAdoo 100 percent. He insisted there was no anger or yelling, and that they were on the same page in trying to fix the Giants offense.New York (8-4) has struggled badly in recent weeks and hasnt scored 30 points in a game this season. Two weeks ago it was Sterling Shepard without a target; this past week it was Cruz. The offense, which didnt reach 300 total yards in either of those contests, is out of sync.For whatever reason, the Giants just havent been able to spread the ball around consistently.When you have been as inconsistent as we have on offense, its a challenge, McAdoo said Monday. Victor, like everybody else, including myself, wants to be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem. So my door is always open for any of these guys that want to come in and have a conversation.Cruz and McAdoo met on Tuesday, and Cruz thinks it will lead to a different outcome against the Cowboys. He expects more opportunities.I hope so, he said. I leave every meeting feeling like that. But obviously there would be concerted efforts to get everyone the football, to get everyone the ball, including myself.So I guess the answer to that is sure, yes, it feels like Ill at least be getting one target this week.Cruz said the final sentence with a smile. He insisted he went into the meeting with his usual team-first approach and didnt demand the ball or additional playing time after undrafted rookie Roger Lewis out-snapped him 29-26 in Pittsburgh.Now, they move on. All will likely be forgotten if the Giants beat the Cowboys on Sunday night.Cruzs disgust was more a moment of frustration after Sundays loss than a bigger problem. He didnt think it was necessary to talk with quarterback Eli Manning about throwing him the ball more often. Cruz has 27 catches for 462 yards this season and leads the team with 17.1 yards per catch.But Manning planned to chat with Cruz, much as he did with Shepard last week. It hadnt happened as of Tuesday afternoon.I just havent seen him, Manning said. Im going to talk to him. I havent had a chance to get with him yet, but yes, Ill talk to Victor.Manning admittedly experienced his struggles Sunday in Pittsburgh. He didnt throw the ball as accurately as he wouldve liked, and finished with a pair of interceptions and less than 200 yards passing.After reviewing the film, Manning thought opportunities existed to throw the ball to Cruz. It just, for one reason or another, didnt happen.There is opportunities to get him the ball, Manning said. Its just all dependent on reads and coverage.After almost two full seasons on the sideline with injuries, Cruz isnt concerned about his body holding up. Hes convinced handling 50 or 60 snaps 13 games into the season isnt a problem. The lack of touches and production is more a team concern than anything individual.I think its a level of consistency from top to bottom, not just the receivers and tight ends, Cruz said. Just everyone being on the same page, because it takes all of us to be on the same page to be productive and successful from top to bottom.We just have to understand, keep staying the course, keep doing what were doing because eventually its going to click. We didnt win six games in a row for no reason without anyone clicking or doing something right. Sam Koch Jersey . Defenceman Yannick Weber scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and the Canucks breathed a sigh of relief with a 2-1 win on Saturday night. John Brown Jersey . -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was selected Monday to his second straight Pro Bowl, while guard Kyle Long made it after a solid rookie season. http://www.cheapravensjerseysonline.com/?tag=michael-pierce-jersey-online . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record. Alex Collins Jersey . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. Kenny Young Jersey . The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos. CLEVELAND -- Losing the opener might not be Torontos only setback early in the AL Championship Series.Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis aggravated an injury in his right knee during a 2-0 loss to the Cleveland Indians on Friday night and afterward sounded pessimistic about his chances of returning in the series.It hurts pretty bad, Travis said. I felt good going into the game. I covered first on that bunt and jarred my knee a little bit. I felt a super sharp pain in my knee and it felt like it was going to give out a little bit.Travis is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday before Game 2 and the Blue Jays are hoping for good results. Toronto manager John Gibbons didnt want to guess whether Travis would be available for the remainder of the series.Theyre still checking him out, Gibbons said. He felt good going into the game. He planted and felt a sharp pain in his knee, and he wasnt able to continue. Thats where were at rigght now.dddddddddddd What happens (next), I couldnt tell you.The 25-year-old Travis missed two games in the Division Series against Texas after sustaining a bone bruise in his right knee. He batted .300 with 11 homers and 50 RBI in 101 games during the regular season.If hes ruled out, the Blue Jays cant replace him on the 25-man roster for the rest of the ALCS because its a pre-existing injury.In the fifth, Coco Crisp dropped a bunt down the first base line that was fielded by Edwin Encarnacion. He threw to Travis, who caught the ball and then began walking in obvious pain. He was replaced by Ryan Goins, who was lifted for pinch-hitter Darwin Barney in the seventh.Goins played in 77 games this year, batting .186 with 12 RBI. He was added to the ALCS roster because of Torontos concerns about Travis knee.
