Is he Odell Beckham Jr.? No. But at 6’1" and 190 pounds, Darius Slayton has taken over as the outside receiver in New York. But do we really know anything else about the rookie out of Auburn that would lead us to believe he can step up into a primary role on the Giants offense? […]

Giants Defense Fails to Step Up

The New York Giants Defense failed to step up in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets. Despite the Jets' offensive line being prone to giving up sacks, the Giants were only able to get to Sam Darnold twice and also forced zero turnovers. They only let up 294 yards on the day, but it was […]

Aldrick Rosas A Non-Factor

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas was a non-factor again on Sunday. The Giants scored 27 points, but Rosas attempted no field goals and missed one of his two extra points. He's simply not worth a roster spot.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley fell on his face Sunday in a loss to the Jets. The second-year pro had just one yard on 13 carries and added 30 yards on five catches. There's not really much to say about this other than that Barkley just doesn't seem right since returning from his […]

Daniel Jones Dynamic In Loss To Jets

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was tremendous through the air for the Giants in Sunday's loss. He completed 26 of 40 passes for 308 yards and four touchdowns, shredding through the Jets secondary and making clutch throws into tight windows.
