So, the number of televised Giants games in my area has really waned over the years. (Shocking!) And it seems like the few I get to see are the ugly losses, like yesterday’s game and pretty much every single night game the Giants ever play. I don’t get to watch any overall performance, week-to-week.
I rely on BBI to help me know where the team is improving. Even during a loss—or even lots of losses. A young player or even a whole unit can have bad results but still be improving. But for so long, it’s been so reactionary on BBI. And if calmer heads (besides Sy! his write ups are so great) have anything to say, I’d appreciate their insights.
Yesterday was a disaster. But there were a few bright spots. Kadarius Toney is an explosive playmaker, the likes of which we have rarely seen. Our offensive line play was not great yesterday with Solder at LT, Peart at RT but, by and large, our OL coaches have been able to make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t so far this season.
Defense is putrid.
The defense is playing like shit, but they had their opportunities with turnovers and made some plays early. If the Giants are closer to full strength and score touchdowns it's a different ball game. I still think the trajectory is up, mainly because I'm a Jones believer.
The Giants actually pressured Dak with blitzes from the secondary.
I thought it was the most QB pressure I’ve seen all season.
But Dak is a top tier QB who nailed several passes with rushers in his face or chasing him around.
Gotta bring a QB like Dak down to the ground to neutralize him.
This was supposed to be the year we get a good look at Jones, Judge and Gettleman - and now I really don't know if we'll be able to give any of them a fair shake.
I'm your age Paul and I feel the same way. Jones goes to another team he'll probably be at least very good. Here he has to do too much. As a result the kamikazee run attempt into the end zone yesterday getting himself hurt. I like Jones and want him to be the guy. I figured this year would be the telling year. But this team is so bad STILL despite the weapons(who are always hurt) I doubt we'll find out. I honestly don't care who they trade release or whatever at this point.
You can watch all the games if you want.
You believe Jones has played poorly 7 out of every 10 snaps this season?
Wow!
