After 10 games White Nate Solder Jerseys , the New York Giants' 2019 season is pretty much over.Look at the NFC standings. The Giants are 2-8 heading into the bye week and riding a six-game losing streak after a 34-27 defeat to the rival Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.Their only hope of making the playoffs would be to win the NFC East. Dallas and Philadelphia share the division lead with 5-4 records and the Cowboys have beaten Pat Shurmur's team twice.Even if the Giants went on a six-game winning streak, the best they could do would be 8-8. That means beating Chicago (4-5), Green Bay (8-2), Philadelphia twice, Washington (1-8) and Miami (2-7), which is riding a two-game winning streak.That's asking a lot of a young, error-prone team."There is a lot to be learned," Shurmur said Monday. "There's, I guess, pains that come with growing and we've just got to be very consistent, we've got to raise them right, we've got to coach them hard, and we've got to do like you do with any player. But they have the ability to get experience, and we all know there is no substitute for experience."To be honest Nate Solder Jerseys 2019 , it's experience that might be useful in 2020. It's hard to say whether Shurmur will be the coach, James Bettcher will be the defensive coordinator or Dave Gettleman the general manager. Change happens when a team makes the playoffs once since 2011.Shurmur has no plans of making coaching changes during the bye. He just wants to win. A couple of games would be helpful after a 5-11 mark in his first season.WHAT'S WORKINGFor all his mistakes, rookie quarterback Daniel Jones is the future. He is a playmaker with heart. The rookie has hit 187 of 297 passes for 1,984 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also is second on the team in rushing with 32 carries for 208 yards, a 6.5 yard average, and two TDs.WHAT NEEDS HELPFinding a way to win. While New York has been outclassed in a couple of games, the Giants have been within a touchdown or less either late in the third or in the fourth quarter in the past five games. They led the Jets entering the fourth quarter Sunday."Just know the people inside the building, we're working, we still believe we can," receiver Golden Tate III said. "We've just got to go out there and do it."STOCK UPFor the second time, rookie receiver Darius Slayton is trending up. The fifth-round draft pick was supposed to be a deep threat. He has shown he can do everything. He had career bests of 10 receptions for 121 yards. His 10 catches were the second-highest total by a Giants player this season, one less than tight end Evan Engram had in the season opener in Dallas. His five TD catches lead the team.STOCK DOWNHas to be Saquon Barkley. He keeps taking the high road in explaining his inability to produce since returning from the high sprain to his right ankle. He sat out three games. In the past four, the No. 2 overall rusher in the NFL last season has carried 64 times for 165 yards, a 2.58 yard average. He gained 227 yards on 29 carries in the first two games White Kareem Martin Jerseys , a 7.8 yard average. He was hurt late in the first half against Tampa Bay on Sept. 22, finishing with eight rushes for 10 yards. Adding those numbers in, he was averaging 6.4 yards. Not the same guy now.INJUREDLeft tackle Nate Solder and cornerback Janoris Jenkins left the game with concussions. Barkley had an MRI in the past 24 hours and Shurmur said he is fine and will continue to play. The bye week will help center Jon Halapio (hamstring), tackle Mike Remmers (ankle) and Engram (foot) get healthy. The team should consider shutting down WR Sterling Shepard after two concussions and six missed games.KEY NUMBER24 — The NFL is all about having the ball. The Giants have 24 turnovers in 10 games. They had 19 in 2018. Their turnover differential is minus 12, tied for the league worst with Miami and Atlanta. Jones has 17 turnovers, including three fumbles returned for touchdowns in each of the past three games. That's not how to win games.NEXT STEPSThe bye week is a time to fix things. With Jones running the show, the offense has potential. The running game and the O-line have to be better. The defense is a disaster. It has given up at least 27 points an NFL-high nine times and at least 31 points six times, tying Tampa Bay for the league high. It's easy to say either switch coordinators or fire Shurmur. It's still going to be a mess this season. Happy Saturday, and welcome to Week 10 of the 2018 college football season! The New York Giants are off this week, so we don’t have to look forward to an NFL game day with any trepidation. However, the reason for that trepidation, the 1-7 Giants’ play this year, gives us plenty of reason to pay attention to college football in advance of the 2019 NFL Draft. I have already put out my first mock draft of the 2019 draft season, and it will be the last one until after the underclassmen declare.Until then we have plenty of good games Kareem Martin Jerseys 2019 , and players to watch. So, let’s get to today’s slate of games!(6) Georgia at (11) KentuckyCBS - 3:30 p.m. We’ve mentioned Georgia before, and that’s because they have a whole mess of talented players. Quarterback Jake Fromm is probably the most interesting, especially if the Giants wind up punting their quarterback decision to the 2020 draft. Beyond Fromm, Georgia has a pair of defensive backs in CB Deandre Baker and S J.R. Reed who should interest a team that is starved for them. The Giants probably can’t afford to invest a premium draft pick in a receiver, but junior Riley Ridley could intrigue if he both declares and slips in the draft.On the Kentucky side of things, the first player to watch is linebacker/EDGE Josh Allen. Like the similarly named rookie quarterback, Allen is big, long, and athletic. He isn’t the most devastating edge rusher in the class, but he has greater fluidity in space than many pass rushers have. The Giants might also be interested in CB Derrick Baity. Baity has the length and ability in press coverage the Giants need for their defensive scheme, but he isn’t the most physical player, nor is he as ‘twitchy’ as you would like to see from a corner.Players to watchGeorgiaJake Fromm (QB)Riley Ridley (WR)Terry Godwin (WR)Deandre Baker (CB)J.R.

The future of the quarterback position is up in the air for the Giants, and Duke’s Daniel Jones could well be high on their radar. They have Youth Kyle Lauletta Jerseys , after all, had a fair amount success with quarterbacks coached by David Cutcliffe in college. Jones has prototypical size and arm strength, athleticism, as well as generally solid accuracy and placement. He is also improving with regards to the finer points of the position, such as movement in the pocket, processing speed, and reading defenses before the snap.Of course, there’s also the Miami Hurricanes. Despite not taking the expected step after their exciting 2017 campaign, they still have talent to interest scouts — particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Considering their ongoing issues at safety, Jaquan Johnson should be particularly interesting. Likewise, cornerback Michael Jackson (Odell Beckham Jr. might lobby for him to be drafted based on his name alone) should interest a Giants’ defense in need of big, long, athletic press corners. EDGE Joe Jackson has impressive upside as a long, lean Kyle Lauletta Jerseys Stitched , athletic edge defender, but he needs some development in the finer aspects of playing his position. On the offensive side of the ball, the Giants might also keep an eye on left tackle Tyree St. Lewis.

As you would expect from both these teams, this game is going to be stacked with future NFL players. This game could use a post all its own to take a look at every prospect in the detail he deserves. Instead I’m going to make a quick rundown of the top players who should interest the Giants this year. (Obviously, you should be watching QB Tua Tagovailoa for the same reasons as Jake Fromm in the Georgia game, but like Fromm, he won’t be draft eligible until 2020 at the earliest.)Players to watch *all of themAlabamaQuinnen Williams (DT)Jonah Williams (OT)Raekwon Davis (DL)Mack Wilson (LB)Deionte Thompson (S)LSUGreedy Williams (CB)Devin White (ILB)Rashard Lawrence (DT)Garrett Brumfield (OG)
