I've said this since the beginning of the season. Of course it's not on record anywhere but my brother's ears so take it for what you will. The Giants are the most overrated team I've ever seen. I said that they would lose a couple of games and the wheels would come off. Listening to the radio, everyone from the hosts to the callers have a thousand and one reasons why they're losing except the fact that they're not that good. I don't know why no one will admit it. Let's break it down.
"The Good":
1. Kerry Collins - People talk about him like he's Joe Montana. When he can stand still and isn't under pressure he can make a good pass. Yeah, well done. So can I. As soon as he has to move, or even thinks a pass rush is coming, he's terrible.
2. Tiki Barber - At best, he's a 1,000 yard rusher, that's pretty damn good. But he has hands like wet soap. I actually heard, I think it was Richard Neer, saying the reason he fumbles so much is because unlike other running backs, he keeps pushing for more yardage after he's tackled instead of falling down. What the fuck!?!? What kinda bullshit is that? Tell Priest Holmes or Ricky Williams that they fall down in the face of an opponent and watch what happens. Don't make excuses, he's a good runner, but he can't hold onto the ball.
3. Jeremy Shockey - He's got talent, there is absolutely no doubt about that. He can't be covered by most linebackers, so he can punch holes in the defense. But people talk about him like he's the second coming. He makes some great catches, but he also has some terrible drops. He can't block for shit, and his attitude and antics are a detriment not only to himself but the team as a whole. At best, he's inconsistent. It also looks like he might be a bit injury prone.
4. Michael Strahan - The epitome of overrated. Paid too well, performs too poorly. He got the sack record in dubious fashion and has yet to show me anything special since. As the supposed defensive leader, he pretty much brings nothing to the table. He's selfish, and brings up the level of no one else on the field. Is it possible for him to, one time, lead a great defensive stand when there's money on the line? Do that and maybe I'll reconsider.
"The Bad":
Offensive Line - They are as useful as the Maginot Line, and about as mobile. Kerry Collins needs protection to function at any level even remotely resembling a professional QB. My four elderly aunts, one of whom is dead, could pass block better than them.
Defensive Secondary - I chalk these guys' troubles up to skill level and inexperience. They're just not very good, that's all. But it's accepted that they're not, so I can't bitch too much. No one makes excuses for them.
That's the whole point, it seems people are going out of their way to not say the Giants aren't good. I don't know where this idea that they are some kind of offensive juggernaut came from. Sure they get yardage out the ass, but if you can't convert that into scores, what's the point? They are a mediocre team, held up to be better, much better, than they actually are and they've crumbleed under the pressure. Isn't it time we just called a spade a spade. The Giants stink! End of story.
