How about NYG safety Stevie Brown! He has 7 interceptions this season, and 2 forced fumbles. He had 2 picks in the game vs the Saints, and is playing way beyond his expectations. He is in his third season (and his 1st with the Giants) so is still a young player learning the new defense, but considering he only played 8 games last season for IND accumulating only 5 tackles, and 25 tackles in hist first year with Oakland, nobody expected him to have the type of year he is having so far. He already has 2x as many tackles as he did in his second best season, and his two forced fumbles, 2 recovered fumbles, 7 interceptions, 8 passes defended, and 3 stuffs all came this season with the Giants (
his stats).
I have no problem with running up the score, a lot of these backups are playing for another year or another contract, thats fine.
What I dont appreciate is when it fucks up my bets like yesterday.
The Giants were fine in the 4th Q and continued to pile it on for no reason, and screwed one of my bets , albeit that was buffered by me taking the over and the spread
Are you kidding me? The Giants didn't pile it on for no reason. They have a very good reason; Drew Brees. There is no comfortable lead against him, and they found that out in the 3rd quarter when there was a momentum change to the Saints who scored 14 points to make the score 35-27 so a TD and FG would have given them the lead. In the 4th quarter once the Giants extended their lead from the passing TD to Cruz they ran the ball, and the TD run by David Wilson was off of a pitch. They weren't going for big plays at that point, so were just trying to eat up the clock to keep the ball out of Brees' hands by running the ball and making short passes.
Care, what do you think about Brandon Jacobs being suspended for the rest of the season due to his social media posts about him 'rotting away' this season? It's not going to make a difference since he wasn't really playing anyway (what was he active for only 3 games or something?) and only had 5 carries for 7 yards all season. I wonder if any team will pick him up next season. I'm sure that he is regretting going to San Francisco this season, and even though he was offered more money by them, it's not going to pay since he's likely done after this season so won't be making any more money. If he was unhappy with his role last season with the Giants when he played 14 games and had 152 carries, it's no wonder he is reacting this way now that he will finish this season with only 5 carries in 3 games.
He never really left the Giants I guess. Even when the 49ers played the Giants this season I think I remember hearing how he was hanging out with the Giants players after the game, and saying how it was hard to root against them. Basically S'ing their D's...
