I am 100% with this coaching staff.. With that being said, any comments about Golladay and GREAT Pro are all past tense as far as I am concerned. His drop late in the game was pathetic. Drops happen, sure but when you say you should be playing no matter what and that is what you produce you are a joke at worst you are a team killing, cap killing succubus forced on us until the final whistle of the 2022 season.

Coaching staff should try to coach up KG  
Payasdaddy : 9/29/2022 12:20 pm : link
He may be cooked but if we can get some plays out of him this yr, it would be helpful
We can’t cut him till 2023
At least try to keep is head in the game. I know he stinks but he is frustrated too
I actually think he can do a few solid things if he works through mental crap

I don't know if I agree with that, they were shredding us in the first half, they just made many more mistakes in the first half, such as penalties that killed drives and Lamb dropping a wide open catch that either scores or gets to the 5 to 10 yard line. The other team executed in the second half, it was not like our defense got worse. It was pretty bad (especially the run defense) all game.

Lines of Scrimmage : 9/29/2022 12:57 pm : link
wanted to say we really need LW back in the lineup. Our front 7 gets exposed more without him.
Kafka admits what I have been  
section125 : 9/29/2022 1:00 pm : link
saying. They start too slow and play selection to start the game is not good. I think his scripting is the problem. "Rookie" mistakes. I do like what he does in the 2nd half. He also needs to use Barkley and Brieda more.
I believe that the Giants should throw deep several times in the first  
GiantBlue : 9/29/2022 1:24 pm : link
two series to loosen the defense and before they get their pass rush revved up.

Eli used to do that so effectively.......

Dallas seemed to have their safety in our backfield the whole game. Send Slayton and James deep and throw it deep on the first or second play. Make them think we can do that.

Saquon will thank you!

Robinson is a legit question as he was bent pretty awkwardly on that reception adn tackle against the Titans. Toney, who the fuck knows with that guy. He is NEVER healthy and it is always kind of a mystery. Just a complete waste of a 1st rd pick so far.

I would have IR'd him just to put him on notice if it were not legit or if legit gives time to recover without week to week expectation.
seriously...is this rookie class jinxed?

wide and either Brightwell or Brieda at RB. We need to get playmakers outside and it may not be possible to get it from our WR group.

Chris684 : 9/29/2022 4:19 pm : link
They really need to start getting healthy with some stiffer competition coming up.

Robinson this week and Leo perhaps next week pretty much brings the D up to speed.

One of Robinson or Toney emerging from the missing persons list would be nice.
