I can't help but beat the dead horse again - Evan Engram is not a tight end, he's a RECEIVER.
Seemed like Tom Brady's go-to in key situations by either finding Evans in space with accurate passes or great ball positioning where he could shield the ball with his big body.
Other than the horrid pass pro play by our O-line, that is a big problem with our offense.
I guess it's not in the cards. Engram is destined to go someplace else and shine and BBI will forever hold a grudge.
As for Golden, he's a complementary piece, not the guy. He had something like 9 sacks here and the consensus was to ship him out because his game is limited.
Flowers refused to play guard for the Giants, we'll never know if he would have been serviceable at guard for the Giants. The bridge was already burned.
He was a 210 lb. WR when he was a freshman at Ole Miss.
It's amazing, out for all the things to bitch about this season, this is like issue #1000 on the list.
Forget about Engram...how about Golladay seeing single coverage all night (trust me I was there), with zero safety help and the team not giving him a chance at all?
Engram cannot run routes
Engram cannot read a defense to find open spaces in a zone
What the fuck are you talking about?

Come on man. That's a little harsh..
Engram is really good at dropping balls he should catch! He's also really good at surprising by catching other balls that he has no business catching based on the dropped easy ones...
Not sure if serious. If you are your one patient human being. He can develop this by when? Year 9?
The Giants have good WRs, but no chance for the QB to get the ball to them.
Hopefully the lack of fades and post-up balls to your $18M red zone threat is part of the reason Garrett was fired.
Gotta get ROI on capital, just like any other business.
Mike Evans is not the surest handed receiver, either.
how dare you derail this thread
I think Evans had a 3 TD game this season. That's more than one season's worth of scoring for Engram.
That doesn't mean I don't think he's been misused. He was drafted based on the seam routes he ran at Ole Miss, so that he could help Eli beat all the cover 2 he was seeing. Shurmur, for all of his faults, knew how to use EE that way, but Garrett refused to, and had him running 5 yd hitch routes. I hope at the very least that Kitchens will use EE more down the seams

Helps to have Tom Brady throwing to you all game in an excellent offense, wouldn't you say?
Don't care how many TD Evans gets. Evans gets several chances per game. How many did Engram get this year?
Don't put me in a position to defend Engram, but also don't tell us that Engram gets the same chances as Evans.
"Much taller" - Don't think so.
Galladay - He's a different cat; stylistically he long, lean and mean. He's Michael Irvin; plus we're giving him that kind of money and unfortunately getting a disgruntled, expensive potted plant.
If Freddie Kitchens doesn't use Engram right, he's a gonner and will be a Pro Bowler again, for some other team in 2022.

Not saying engrams misuse isn't a crime, but comparing him to Mike Evans is utterly absurd.

I mean this whole comparison is stupud to begin with. Evans made pro bowls and had productive seasons long before Brady got there.
You don't care about scoring touchdowns? I guess this is the outcome of having such an unproductive offense for so long.
Let's face it, and it's a given Engram is trash but Evans is going to get better chances because he is a better target obviously and I'm just saying ... Evans drops are more forgivable because at his position he actually provides use.
Also Engram has played so many games here (and thanks to all the injuries) that he's sadly been the best threat on the field for years.
