Retired offensive lineman and current NFL Network analyst, Brian Baldinger, has done a tremendous job of breaking down film of the New York Giants (and other teams) all season. However, when it comes to Big Blue, one problem has remainded consistent throughout the season: confusion.
The Giants never seem to know if they are coming or going, and both their offensive and defensive players seem confused — some openly — about the scheme, playbook and their assignments, while others seem to just look on helplessly.
You’d think they would be able to get a handle on that by Week 14 of the season, but that has not been the case at all. And in his latest breakdown, Baldy lets loose and calls the Giants “maddening.”
Check out the futility and try not to be embarrassed:
What more even needs to be said? The Eagles were so thin at wide receiver they were about to send backup quarterback Josh McCown into the game to fill a role, and yet the Giants still somehow allowed the only opposing weapon to run the field to run freely and beat them.
Baldinger is right — that is absolutely, undeniably, unequivocally maddening. And it’s why jobs are going to be lost.
