The guy had a bad game. That's obvious. Good players have them. Great players, too. His body of work says he is a good player. And, who are you replacing him with? So, yes, his absence is a problem.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey probably the best option internally.

Giants likely down another WR Thursday vs. Eagles

Ed Valentine @edvalentine.bsky.social · 19h

As has seemed likely since Sunday night, #NYGiants WR Darius Slayton is not expected to play Thursday vs. the Eagles. Another hit for the Giants' offense. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

What's he supposed to say? No OC is going to come out and say "our guys suck. I can't call successful plays with these hacks."

Ed Valentine @edvalentine.bsky.social · 2d

Shane Bowen: Flott-Banks CB rotation will be a "week to week" decision and an "ongoing evaluation."

Ed Valentine @edvalentine.bsky.social · 2d

What did you expect him to say? I'd rather have Daniels, Maye or Nix? He's got to ride with the guy they selected. And Dart didn't have a great game Sunday, but he has shown a lot of positives.

Daboll: "No young quarterback I'd rather have to work with than Jaxson."

Ed Valentine @edvalentine.bsky.social · 2d

Brian Daboll: Jaxson Dart "did a lot of good things" against the Saints. But, "hard to win" with 5-0 in turnovers.

What do the Giants do now at wide receiver?

Ed Valentine @edvalentine.bsky.social · 2d

The #NYGiants have an obvious issue at wide receiver. Is there any way to fix it? www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

The Giants need help at wide receiver, but where will it come from?
