Offseason Recap & Poor Start To Season

Coming off of a successful season with the Ravens Coach Mac was hired to turn around the New York Giants. Not only was he hired as the new coach, he was also given general manager responsibilities handling player personel. Wasting no time with the offseasons main priority and franchise cornerstone Saquan Barkley was franchise tagged. Going into free agency the G-Men had all kinds of cap space. Making splash signings of OL Leno, CB Fuller, and LB Milano. With that going on openly in free agency a flurry of deals were being discussed behind the scenes. With the 5th pick there were some worries that the Giants weren't going to get one of the top QBs of the draft. After an initial conversation with the Packers gm no deal was struck. But after thinking it over a deal for the #2 pick, which turned into the top QB prospect Howell, a deal was struck.

There were high hopes coming into the season after a roster was turned upside down and consisted of 11 new starters. Through two games hope is now turning into desperation. Thus far, the Giants are a first half team and don't know how to finish a game. The team has blow two first half leads with little to no production in the second half of games. Coach Mac has decided to make lineup changes after a couple veterans have underwhelmed in two starts. Defensive Ends Bud Dupree and Lorenzo Carter have been benched for two unheralded rookies in hopes they can give a spark to this defense and become building blocks moving forward. If some longtime starters can't start producing on Sundays there might be some tough decisions coming in the offseason. 

Going forward the offensive identity will not change. As Howell continues to develop into the franchise QB he is meant to be the team will continue riding franchise cornersone Saquan Barkley. Rookie HB Spiller and WR Robinson will also see larger roles in the offense as the team looks for any sort of consistent spark. Defensively a scheme change will take place for the week 3 game agianst the Philidalphia Eagles. Starting 0-2 has put a lot of players on the hot seat and only time will tell if the team can right the ship after a disasterous start.
