Giants Summer Pre-Season Preview
My mood has suddenly changed…my algorithm of doom scrolling has changed from anxiety ridden political non-sense and the Yankees becoming allergic to hitting the baseball to beautiful green grass….long “moon” passes, and terrifying spin moves by the future gold jacket rookie— Abdul Carter. I, like many other members of the “bleed blue club” have fooled myself into believing this year is different. Our draft was splendid, our trades were legit, and we finally ended our 7 year tumultuous relationship with Danny Dimes himself….what could go wrong?
So what does a realistic outlook on our season look like? With the literal hardest schedule in the league, a brand new qb, a left tackle who is addicted to injury, and a knack for things going wrong…. a betting mind would advise me to really protect my heart and expect a 6 win season here.
I REFUSE.
This team is going to be a pack of dogs this year. It is the only way. 7 sacks, 9 points given up with a hail mary moon shot to Nabers is going to be our blueprint from game to game. We will fight, claw, and potentially injure a franchise qb or two with our pack of wolves we have on the front seven. Our DC needs to throw out every single conventional conservative playcall he’s ever had and go full Wink Mode this year. Blitz galore. Chaos. Big plays will be given up…sacks will be had…pressures turning into pick sixes will be common-place. I am feeling a magical season deep down in my plums. Daboll looks happy and about 15 points lower on his systolic pressure everytime that heart claps after a thunderous Carter sack.
We drafted a future franchise qb in round 1, and he has absolutely nothing to do with the success of this season. That is a beautiful thing. We can do things the RIGHT way, for once.
Stay tuned to the next pre-season preview….it will most likely tell a completely different story lol.
