Just wait until all that offensive talent gets onto the field! Well, we’re still waiting. Getting this back in late September might have turned a loss or two into a victory. Coordinator Patrick Graham was slow to react and his response - to simplify what his guys are doing to allow them to play faster - helped in strong performances the past three games. Yes, losing inside linebacker Blake Martinez in Week 3 was a crushing blow. Nearly everyone was back from a unit that finished ninth in the league in scoring defense in 2020, when it allowed just 22.3 points a game. Still, this defense was expected to be much better much earlier. Coaches do not like to hear about their team or their unit “hitting the ground running’’ from one year to the next. This presumably is supposed to be a “pleasant’’ surprise category, but there are not many worthy choices with this team.
Offensive line remains a concern for Giants’ underachieving offense BIGGEST SURPRISE On defense, Lorenzo Carter (no sacks, one tackle for loss, one quarterback hit in six subpar games) certainly qualifies for the least valuable designation. He showed what he can do (six catches for 116 yards) in the victory at New Orleans, but so much of value is wrapped up in availability, and Golladay has not been available often enough. Yes, we get it, he got out of the gate slowly coming off a hamstring strain in the summer and missed three games later on. The Giants gave him a four-year, $72 million contract, and the first half of his first season was a complete dud: 19 receptions for 310 yards and zero - repeat, zero - touchdowns. There are too many candidates for consideration here, but it is difficult to bypass Kenny Golladay. In most of the losses this season, Jones deserved better. There is something to work with here, though. Does he need to continue to speed up his decision-making process? Yes. He has cut down his turnovers (eight, still too many), and when he uses his legs on designed runs or to get out of the pocket, good things generally happen. Daniel Jones is the pick because the deck has too often been stacked against him: rough offensive line play, most of his top targets hurt and unavailable. The list is not long, as far as worthy options. They are what they are, and they are where they deserve to be.Ī closer look at that has transpired: MOST VALUABLE PLAYER They closed out their pre-bye schedule by winning twice in three games. The Giants lost on last-second field goals in Weeks 2 and 3 and lost by a field goal in Week 8 in Kansas City. The influx of offensive talent has thus far been an injury-riddled bust. The offensive line conundrum remains unresolved. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has yet to put enough points on the board. Quarterback Daniel Jones has played well at times and not as well other times, but at this point he is not in the top five, and perhaps barely in the top 10, when it comes to Franchise Concerns. Joe Judge has yet to prove there is enough urgency in his beloved process to lift the program into a winning level. The Giants are at their bye week, and after nine games they have created more questions than answers. 500, can we all agree to not mention “Giants’’ and “postseason” in the same sentence? Giants head coach Joe Judge Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post The Giants have lost twice as many games as they’ve won.
Sure, they are only one game behind the Panthers (4-5) for the final playoff spot, but that is crazy-talk in mid-November. Meaningful games equate to playoff contention, and the Giants are not close. The Giants will be hard-pressed to live up to co-owner John Mara’s insistence that this team, this year, must be playing meaningful games in December in order to approach successful-season status. Since 2017, the Giants, after nine games, have been 1-8, 2-7, 2-7, 2-7 and this season’s 3-6. The Giants make it appropriate to observe them in only one way: with a jaundiced eye.
