Giants Season in Review

The Giants season come to a disappointing end in a blowout loss to the Lions. Dropped passes, poor decision making, and a defense that couldn't stop a pee wee offense is what ultimetly doomed the team in week 17. The team never fully clicked on all cylinders. The team's longest win streak was just 3 games. Sam Howell, the teams first round selection, took a bit to get his feet underneath him. Posting 8 game splits of 2038 yards, 16 TDs, and 14 INTs in the first 8 games while upping his efficiency with 2179 yards, 20 TDs, to 10 INTs in the 2nd half of the season. Other notable Giants to post good seasons are Barkley with 1824 scrimmage yards with 11 TDs, Slayton with 1017 receiving yards with 8 TDs, Engram with 941 yards with 7 TDs, Surtain with 9 ints, and the two DTs combing for 13.5 sacks. Defense remains a huge question mark heading into next season. Corner back is a position the Giants will look into pretty heavily to improve especially with starter Fuller set to become a FA and spotty play from the safety positions in pass coverage. The other glaring hole on this defense will be a quality edge rusher. Free agent disappointment Bud Dupree is set to be released just 2 years after signing a huge 5 year deal and getting to the QB just 6 times in 32 games. The Giants are set to have an ample amount of cap space after unloading some contracts this upcoming offseason. Expect the Giants to be aggressive in targeting big name free agents to be competitive the following season.
