The problem isn't the talent at WR. The problem is you lost the best slot receiver you had and probably the best route runner.
Nicks and Manningham for whatever reason couldn't work out of there. Maybe they worked on it this offseason and in training camp. But they've got a real issue at that position where Eli knew he always had that option on 3rd down.
I'm a DC facing the Giants, I double Nicks and go after Eli hard on 3rd. Sure, Manningham might beat you once in a while, but I like those chances.
Exactly. I'm fucking livid at Jerry Reese right now. You mean to tell me he couldn't re-work other contracts to keep some of these guys? In the NFL, $2mil is chump change. Eli has to be pissed. Loses his most reliable option in Steve Smith to a hated division rival.
This will be the third straight year NY misses the playoffs.
