Next Gen really exposes how bad the Giants are. Still, the magic of free agency and creative cap management creates for a lot of opportunities. I followed the Giants initial crappy season (this present season) with another 3-14 egg but I added a QB who turned into a Superstar and Devante Adams. Then I traded both of them for a crap ton of draft capital! Yeah. That happened. The rebuild is officially on with 4 first round draft picks turning into a new starting QB, RB, DT, and Safety. The rest of the capital went to Wr and other backups. I rebuilt the line through the draft, improving measurably (+6 rating) in almost every position. Things could go well for us this year, depending on how the new signal caller and skills mesh with the offense. I built around a multiple zone run scheme and added vertical threats to compliment that run game. I surrendered Barkley to free agency knowing of the massive cap tax I was taking on in order to dump long contract talent. I’m in ‘wait it out’ mode with a few of the players (L. WIlliams included) but for the most part, things look good. We have a future and it could be quite bright!
Some Thoughts:
- Madden is a pleasant distraction. I stopped with Minecraft because the town I built my new castle in is in a desert and the people keep dying because of sun resistant Zombies–no matter how many Iron Golems I drop in. Beyond which they refuse to reproduce at this juncture and I just find that sad. I have a heavily populated city not far from the castle, so odds are good that I continue to build out this castle, and say BAH to the city.
- All this is to say I am not writing and that needs to start TOMORROW
