The New York Giants received some major bulletin board material from CBS Sports this week and they'd be wise to use it as motivation for the 2024 season.
Earlier this week, CBS Sports ranked the five worst teams in the NFL.
The Giants came in at No. 4 in their rankings.
From CBS Sports: The Giants tied the worst sack differential of ALL TIME last season (-51). They hope the additions of Jermaine Eluemunor, Jon Runyan and Brian Burns change that. The Giants' hopes again appear to hinge on quarterback Daniel Jones, who New York decided not to replace this offseason, instead using its premier pick on star wideout Malik Nabers. Will Jones be good enough to get the most out of Nabers? Maybe the better question is: Can he stay healthy? Jones suffered yet another neck injury in the Week 5 loss to the Miami Dolphins, missed three games then returned to the lineup and immediately tore his ACL.
New York lost its best playmaker this offseason in Saquon Barkley, plus A'Shawn Robinson and Xavier McKinney on the defensive side. There are also some questions about former NFL Coach of the Year Brian Daboll. He had a fallout with defensive coordinator Wink Martindale, then blocked Mike Kafka from interviewing with the Seattle Seahawks. A total of seven assistant coaches were fired or left the organization by the end of March, per NJ.com. You could make the argument that's not a great look for Daboll, but turnover was expected after last year's disaster. Now, can he turn it around?
New York is coming off a tough season in 2023, going 6-11 while finishing third in the NFC East. The previous season, the Giants went 9-7-1 and reached the divisional round of the playoffs after beating the Minnesota Vikings in the wild card round (New York lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round).
The Giants didn't play well at times last season, but the franchise dealt with numerous injuries (specifically at the quarterback position) that essentially made the playoffs an unreachable goal in 2023.
But entering the 2024 season, there's confidence in the Giants' locker room that the team can get back to the playoffs.
“Just looking our team, looking at what we got, we have a good chance to do whatever we want to do,” said Giants second year wide receiver Jalin Hyatt earlier this month. “For goals, I just want as a team goal. We have a playoff team and that’s what we want to do and that’s our focus. We’re going to get there.”
The national media clearly doesn't agree with Hyatt. That's why the Giants would be wise to use this slight from CBS Sports as some added motivation this fall.
Jalin Hyatt gives thoughts on playoff expansion and what would happen if Vols played Georgia again
Tennessee Vols wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is in Arizona prepping for the 2023 NFL Draft and gearing up to attend Super Bowl LVII. Hyatt carved out some time on Wednesday to do some media interviews amid the madness of Super Bowl week. One of those interviews was with 95.3 WDAE. Hyatt was asked specifically about […]
