Good morning, New York Giants fans!
“That’s what he believes in. He’s doing it for the utmost respect,” Penn State defensive line coach Deion Barnes said. “He’s respectful of the legends. He just feels like he’s just setting a goal. … (People shouldn’t be) offended because he’s trying to set his goal that high to be remembered forever.”
This is who Abdul Carter is. This is who he’s always been.
We know. Rarely is anything of great quality and lasting excellence assembled overnight.
We get it. But it has been four years now, and the vision the Giants’ front office put forth for roster construction is as far along as it ought to be.
New York Giants: Russell Wilson. Biggest Weakness: Generating positive plays
Wilson produced a positive play last season at the lowest rate (19.6%) of the 32 projected starting quarterbacks in 2025. While he can still unleash a beauty of a big-time throw (6.1%, tied for fifth in the NFL), living off the big play isn’t a winning recipe in the NFL.
Wilson’s big-time throw rate last season tied with Lamar Jackson, but Jackson earned a positive grade are a rate nearly 12 percentage points higher. Wilson’s NFL days are likely numbered, especially when his team just threw a dart at a quarterback in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
“I think the biggest thing we’ll bring is tough-nose football, physical, offense, defense, special teams, a team that believes in each other, ultimately,” said Wilson. “And that’s really all that matters, that we believe in each other. No matter how much praise we get, how much criticism people try to say beforehand or whatever it may be, it’s just we’re in the midst of it right now, and we have unbelievable belief in our locker room, what we’re capable of. Now we have to go do it, and just play one game at a time.”
