Giants Postgame Pt.1: Corey Washington Does it Again!

Holy crap.   What was for three quarters a somewhat alarming first three quarter of a boring preseason game that saw the Giants trailing 26-0, turned into the most exciting 4th quarter of a preseason game I've ever seen.    The Giants scored 27 straight points in the 4th to remain undefeated in the pre, and Corey Washington scored his third game winner in a row!

Painter looked like pre-last week Painter for most of the night, but did connect on a fade to Davis to score our first TD.  After the ensuing kick, our D scored.   I think it was Adkins who recovered the fumble.

Then Nassib came in and started finding Harris, Washington and Harvey.  And then Cox ran one in from the 2.   They got the ball back, and overcame a 4th and 16 on a 26 yard pass to Adrien Robinson, then followed it up with a 28 yard play to Robinson.  And all of a sudden they were in scoring range.    Washington was interfered with on their first try, which placed the ball at the four.   Then Nassib hit him for the game winner.

Nassib looked very good again.  So did Harris and Washington. Robinson may even have awakened.   Anyway, it was a rousing 4th quarter, and a great win.  But they have a ton of work to do to get ready for the season.

The defense may have to find a way to carry the offense until and unless they play better, and they aren't there yet, not even close. They may need Holliday to make the team even though he hasn't played because their return game blows.

Beckham will be ready for the Jet game, then the return game won't blow.

Do you want him as the starting WR and returning on ST?

Positives: the starting RG may be Richburg, Williams may be the better fit at RB for this OL, and Robinson probably put himself back in the mix for real PT at TE.

Yes, I want him starting at wr and returning at least punts.

OK, I still want Holliday to make the team. If he was injured in someone else's camp and he got cut it probably pick him up.

Until or unless we know what we're getting from the offense, meaning anything good, they need every edge they can get anywhere else.

I don't want him. Bad ball security and hasn't had time to work on it. Beckham was always gonna be the pr anyway.

Then they should never have signed him because any decision about him has to be based on the past because he hasn't played here.

OTOH, Wilson is gone, and Beckam mat have to be given extra protection this year because the hamstring could linger at a low level.

They're taking care of the hamstring now. He was not an injury guy playing on all teams at LSU.

They probably signed Holiday as insurance for Wilson, and now neither will be there. Trindon was a slight bet.

Don't forget how good Amani Toomer was as a returner early in his Giants career.
