The Giants need a uniform refresh. Now is the perfect time to make a change as they kick off a new era with John Harbaugh and Jaxson Dart.
Here's my ideal new uniforms:
- Updated modern blue helmets on the throwback designs
- An alternate red jersey to match the legacy design
Brian Daboll wasn't the only one to get a late night call from Jaxson Dart this week, as the Giants HC revealed yesterday.
Dart wants to engage with the entire offense. So if something about game plan - a route, a blocking concept - crosses his mind, Giants teammates should expect a call and at any time: WR, RB, TE, OL. That's how his mind works best and, especially this week, there's an obsession to it.
One WR told me it's been impressive to see Dart take control like that so fast.
The absolute laziest narrative in NFL History is that Eli Manning was carried by his Team in 2011. There is not a single Super Bowl Team in NFL History other than the 2011 New York Giants to rank Bottom 10 in Points Allowed, Yards Allowed, Offensive Rushing Yards, and Pressures Allowed Rate.
The 2011 New York Giants not only Ranked Bottom 10 but ranked:
8th Worst in Points Allowed
6th Worst in Yards Allowed
WORST in Offensive Rushing Yards
WORST in Pressure Allowed Rate
Then Eli went onto set an NFL Record for most Passing Yards in a Postseason beating Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers, Top 3 Defense, and Tom Brady.
