My daughter’s Pop Warner Cheerleading team just took home 2nd place in her first ever competition, and they’re moving onto regionals! 💪🏼

Obviously, proud beyond words of her and the squad, even happier that she gets to experience this with her best friend on the team and my wife as the head coach. 📣

Texting with a Giants fan buddy of mine; and he brought up a great point … He’s worried about Cam Skattebo lasting because “all that dude does is lead with his head.”

It dawned on me: Crash Test Skat™️

Suboptimal, but if there were ever a week not to rush Alt back, it’s against the Dolphins.

Lolol

Matt Lombardo @mattlombardo.bsky.social · 2d

Tough, and as Dart develops after games like tonight, it feels like they could be a team that’s a little better than .500.

Matt Lombardo @mattlombardo.bsky.social · 2d

I think Dart’s development came first. He was throwing to guys named Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Jalin Hyatt. The Eagles’ defense being banged up played a factor, but there’s real talent on that Giants’ defense and Skattebo’s a sparkplug.

I’ve been saying since the summer they’ll play teams really ..

Matt Lombardo @mattlombardo.bsky.social · 2d

For sure. But Jalen Carter doesn’t play both corner spots.

The game slowed down for Dart, with some terrible receivers. Have to remember it was his third start …

When I said there was a VIBE about and around Giants training camp this summer, this was it.

There’s a belief and a buy in about Jaxson Dart and their pass rushers throughout that building, and tonight feels like an early payoff of what that potential can be.

Remarkable how much having a QB changes things …

Matt Lombardo @mattlombardo.bsky.social · 2d

Terrific play by Cordale Flott to jump that route. Not sure why Jalen Hurts would force the ball into such tight coverage, but Flott made a hell of a play.

Umm … Is Brian Daboll motioning to the training staff to “hurry up” with Jaxson Dart in the blue medical tent?

Really?

Matt Lombardo @mattlombardo.bsky.social · 2d

The Giants should really think about making Jameis Winston QB2 …

That Giants pass rush is starting to come into its own …

Kayvon Thibodeaux is having a strong game tonight, amid a breakout season.

Here’s what an NFL scout told me recently about the Giants’ former first-round pick:

“Kayvon is a really gifted player. And he looks to be getting close to becoming the player he has the tools to be.”

That was some of the most abysmal end of half clock management I have ever seen. Major yikes for a veteran duo like Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts …

Philly traded for Tank Bigsby, specifically to return kicks, and yet he looks like a cat chasing a laser pointer almost every week back there.

Matt Lombardo @mattlombardo.bsky.social · 2d

I do wonder how hard it is for the refs to see; with the bodies jammed in there so tight.

Matt Lombardo @mattlombardo.bsky.social · 2d

Really impressed by Jaxson Dart’s moxy. And he’s executing the offense at a really high level.

I think it’s going to be harder for the Eagles to whip votes this offseason, against the cut up Videos of the false starts on the tush push.

Who cares about running it 4 times in a row. Stop the play.

The uncalled penalties, though, that’s a conversation changer.
