The Giants’ worst-case situation continued unfolding on an embarrassing Thanksgiving weekend that shoved extra of Joe Schoen’s and Brian Daboll’s errors again of their faces.
Wink Martindale’s Michigan protection had two interceptions and held Ohio State to 77 speeding yards within the Wolverines’ 13-10 street upset of the Buckeyes.
The Giants’ protection has one interception all season and has allowed an NFL-worst 5.1 rush yards per carry.
Martindale resigned as Giants defensive coordinator final January to flee the dysfunction that is still in his wake.
Saquon Barkley rushed for 107 yards and a game-sealing landing in one of many Philadelphia Eagles’ greatest common season wins in years over the Baltimore Ravens.
The Giants selected Daniel Jones over Barkley, allowed Barkley to signal with their rivals in free company and since have shut down and launched Jones. Now they’ve neither.
And Barkley is an MVP contender who has an opportunity to interrupt the NFL speeding file.
The Eagles improved to 10-2 with Sunday’s win in Baltimore. The Giants fell to 2-10 with their seventh straight loss on Thanksgiving to one of many worst Cowboys groups in years.
It doesn’t cease there.
Leonard Williams returned an Aaron Rodgers interception 92 yards for a landing in Sunday’s Seattle win within the Jets’ and Giants’ stadium. Williams and fellow former Big security Julian Love each keyed the win.
The Giants are lacking the expertise and management of each gamers on their protection and within the locker room.
It’s about to worsen.
The Saints are coming to New Jersey subsequent Sunday with Alvin Kamara, whereas Giants DT Dexter Lawrence is out for the 12 months. Then Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are coming to MetLife Stadium off their bye.
And Jackson mentioned after his mother “cussed me out” for not operating the ball sufficient towards the Eagles, he’s able to take it out on New York.
“I’m mad,” Jackson informed reporters. “We’re going to get after it. I’m not going to lie to you, we’re going to get after it. I can’t wait for this bye to get on. We got the Giants coming up, I’m ready to go.”
The Giants’ futility nonetheless isn’t guaranteeing them the No. 1 total choose in April’s NFL Draft. The Jaguars (2-10) and Raiders (2-10) could be at picks No. 1 and No. 2 with the Giants at No. 3 if the season ended right now.
No worries. If the Jaguars and Raiders win only one extra recreation, the Giants will most likely find yourself again on “top” there.
CLARIFYING ON JONES
FOX analyst Tom Brady, who as soon as labored behind the scenes to attempt to signal with the Dolphins as a Patriot and Buccaneer, criticized Daniel Jones on the Thanksgiving Day broadcast for requesting his Giants launch.
