If Evan Neal is going to be moved inside to get a shot at playing guard after failing at offensive tackle, that position change is not in the works.

What is growing increasingly apparent is the Giants will come to the sobering conclusion that they cannot wait until the draft to find their franchise quarterback.

Without the addition of a quality quarterback, whether it is in free agency or this draft — or both — there is no reason to believe 2025 will be any better for the Giants than 2024.

The former Washington running back replaces Joel Thomas, who made a lateral move to coach the running backs for the Saints.

Kayvon Thibodeaux is eligible for a long-term commitment from the Giants, and not very long ago he figured he was on track to attain it. 

The Giants can hope all they want, but simple arithmetic leads to the sobering reality that Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders could both be off the board.

The Giants cannot hope to make any inroads in the NFC East with far and away the worst quarterback situation in their own division.

The ugly specter of teams tanking down the stretch of the season is more myth than reality, but an organizational component is one of the NFL’s ugly little secrets.

There is much work to be done, starting with NFL free agency then the draft. These are player-procurement opportunities the Giants must get right.

What was evident as Saquon Barkley churned out yards for the Eagles this season was that the Giants really screwed this one up.

One year ago, Nick Sirianni was under fire for a late-season collapse that ended with an embarrassing first-round playoff ouster for the Eagles.

The third team that was under scrutiny in Super Bowl 2025 was the officiating crew. 

Here is the beauty of having a complete team: No one player has to do everything every game.

Patrick Mahomes and back-to-back Super Bowl champions are not supposed to be treated with such disrespect.

The officials have gotten a lot of attention this week because of theories that they favor the Chiefs.

It was two years ago that the Chiefs came back to beat the Eagles, 38-35. Two years later, the Eagles are back, as are the Chiefs, and away we go.

Parris Campbell, the seldom-used Eagles wide receiver, and Saquon Barkley, the oft-used Eagles running back, have a bond, developed during one previous year spent together, with the Giants in 2023.

Winners of 15 of 16 games since then, the Eagles did not allow more than 23 points in any game until Week 16.

He possesses what none of his Eagles teammates own, and they are not on display and definitely not worn around the premises. 

When the Eagles do their Tush Push, it is tough to get them off the field.
