Countdown to the Playoffs-NY Giants Edition

by Austin_97890 | 4 years ago | 0 Comments

Behind an offense that has largely taken care of the ball with Daniel Jones at the QB1 position the New York Giants have started off 8-3. Notably only losing a lag fest and subsequently losing the other two games by only one score.  It certainly has been a great help for them to have Saquon Barkley playing extremely well. Barkley sitting around 1,800 yards and 19 rushing touchdowns has made them a force to be reckoned with.  But is that rushing attack enough? Perhaps Danny Dimes will need to stretch the field more come playoff time. 
 

Which leads us to will this team compete come playoff time and make some noise?  Currently in a 3 way tie with the other NFC powers for the #1 seed it will be mighty interesting to see who comes out with that bye.

With all of this on our minds going into the final 5 games of the season, we caught up with Coach/GM Austin Scott.  In response to "How do you feel about your teams chances this year especially after some of what was send in the media before the season?"

 “We believe in our gameplan. We believe in our personnel on both sides of the ball. We will lose the occasional regular season as you've seen.  But when it comes playoff time we feel that we have the tools to be successful. They say a good rushing game and good defense will achieve success and I think we have that.  I also think this final stretch of the season will be a good test. With a 4 game advantage in the division (thank you Jalen Hurts and Dak Prescott) it will give us the opportunity to play a bit more loose and try some new things.  Teams like the Seahawks, Browns, Cardinals certainly pose a legitimate but we are excited for the competition as stated".
