A couple of random thoughts after yesterday's game

WillieYoung : 10/25/2021 2:07 pm
Carolina's receivers play yesterday was worse than it's quarterback play. I'm not sure I've ever seen that many drops in an NFL game.

Bednardrick Mckinney (I can't possibly have spelled that right). I'm not sure what we have there, but no one's running carefree through the line of scrimmage up the middle while he's on the field.

Evan Engrahm made the worst play by a TE or receiver I have ever seen yesterday. Jones rolled out to his right; Engram was right in front of him running parallel to the line of scrimmage and kept running ... out of bounds! Didn't even slow down. Jones threw the ball to the sideline somehow thinking Engram would stop but he didn't and it looked like Jones threw behind him. How can Engram be that dumb?

Elijaa Penny (that's how its spelled on the roster page, can that be right?). He's a football player. He would have been a Parcell's favorite.
Yeah, CAR's receivers were dreadful

I think b2b games where they dropped a ton. Darnold was even worse. They are not even decent without CMC.
Engram was an idiot on that play....

The pass was perfect ....but it looked behind him because Engram ran right out of bounds
I saw the Engram play too

It looked like the pass was way behind him. I didn’t understand why such a short pass missed by so much. Then I looked at Engram’s feet and saw him well out of bounds and reaching back for the ball. What a dummy.

I think that the giants would have traded him for whatever they could get were it not for all of the injuries to the receivers. They can’t give him millions on a new contract. But then again, look what they did with Rudolph and Beal.
Engram play

It was clear that Jones expected him to have a brain and keep the route true rather than running out of bounds. It wasn't a bad play call given the timing and the score (still too early to say run even with 8 in the box). Should have been done to someone like Rudolph instead.

Raw talent that just has lapses. is very frustrating at times
I was screaming at the TV after that play...

"...expected him to have a brain..." wow that is funny

truthfully sad but funny
Giants had 2-3 drops , dumb route

By Engram , and missed screens because our 300 lb LT couldn’t block a DB. Oh, and how many 3D down conversations called back ? But DJ had a bad game per some…

His regular game is lapses interrupted by an occasional moment of cogency diluted by a lack of ability
Thanks Willie
