I am, at this point, desperately out of shape. A mere walk across my small campus pulls my heart rate up to 115. Later, after I sat for a while I felt it in my chest. This is a clear and present sign that all is not well and I am not on a healthy path. Yet I continue to delude myself in moments that I am on the up and things are going to be okay. TLDR: I’m acting like the New York Giants.
I am not the only one to realize they’re using up Malik Nabers. He’s been targeted so much that teams are starting to let him catch the rock only to rock him once he lays hands on ball. He wound up concussed last week. It won’t be the last time this happens, because everyone knows the rock is going to one of two places. The other is into the hands of the shifty RB turned WR Robinson, though he is getting about 3 yards a catch. He’s not worth worrying about unless you’re in a pure 1 to 1 ppr format or a defense in a short yardage situation. I don’t see a bright future for the Giants this season. My ultimate hope is they fall far enough to secure Travis Hunter. Pairing him with Nabers would be filthy. Still need a QB who can stretch the field with his arm, and Jones is no longer that guy. It may be that he never was. That means that Hyatt is worthless in Giants blue until the QB issue is fixed. With any luck, the G-Men will be able to navigate their selections towards a solid QB. There are enough coming out this year that a high round 2 pick may yield a starting QB.
As for me? The Talislegger franchise is definitely in trouble. I’m starting to understand that it is going to take more than good vibes to get me back on track.
