Giants' Need for Additional Weapons Highlighted by Jets' Exploitation
Lack of Pass-Catching Options a Growing Concern
A recent joint practice between the New York Giants and the New York Jets has exposed a glaring weakness in the Giants' offense: a shortage of reliable pass-catching options.
Connor Hughes, a media insider for both the Jets and Giants, highlighted this deficiency after practice, emphasizing that the Jets were able to exploit the Giants' lack of weapons in the passing game.
Tight End Weakness
One area of particular concern is the Giants' tight end position. Evan Engram, who was expected to be a key pass-catching target, has struggled with injuries and inconsistency.
Rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger has shown promise, but he is still a young player with limited experience.
Wide Receiver Depth
The Giants are also lacking depth at wide receiver. Sterling Shepard, Kenny Golladay, and Kadarius Toney are all talented players, but they have all been hampered by injuries.
With these injuries, inexperienced players such as Wan'Dale Robinson and David Sills have been thrown into prominent roles.
Potential Solutions
The Giants have several options to address their need for additional weapons in the passing game.
- Sign a veteran free agent tight end, such as Eric Ebron or O.J. Howard.
- Trade for a pass-catching weapon, such as Chase Claypool of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Promote a player from within, such as tight end Chris Myarick.
Conclusion
The Giants' lack of pass-catching options is a serious problem that needs to be addressed before the regular season begins.
If the Giants can find a way to add reliable targets for quarterback Daniel Jones, the offense has the potential to be much more productive in 2022.
