omes to their impending game against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network is reporting that the shoulder injury which kept quarterback Mitchell Trubisky off the field last week could also keep him out this Sunday.Daniel played well for the Bears in their Thanksgiving win over the Detroit Lions Giants Customized Color Rush Jerseys , completing 73 percent of his passes for 230 yards and a pair of touchdowns. That was higher completion percentage than Trubisky’s 65.4 percent, though it was roughly on par with his 246 yards per game. Trubisky has thrown 20 touchdowns to 9 interceptions on the season. The biggest difference with Trubisky sidelined is the drop-off in athleticism at the quarterback position. Trubisky has run 51 times for 363 yards and 3 touchdowns on the season. His ability to run, both to hurt the defense and to evade pass rushers and extend plays, is a definite loss for the Bears’ offense. Daniel was sacked four times by the Lions last week. Of course New York Giants T-Shirts , for this to count as an actual “break” for the Giants, they will need to be able to move the ball and score on the Bears’ defense — which is another matter entirely. The New York Giants are set at tight end, right?That was the question, asked after Dan and I got finished recording our review of the Giants’ win over the Washington Redskins https://www.giantsfanshop.com/hats , which ultimately resulted in this podcast. Since our first foray into taking an advance look at the 2019 NFL Draft by talking quarterbacks with Mark Schofield (a podcast which everyone should listen to, and go back and listen to again if you already have. And yes Mark, I FINALLY got Red Dead 2), Dan and I have used our second show every week to talk about college football and the upcoming draft. This week we decided to take a slightly different track. As it stands now New York Giants Hoodie , the Giants are set at tight end with Evan Engram and Rhett Ellison. But will they be set at the position by the time the 2019 NFL Draft rolls around?Rhett Ellison will be making nearly $6 million in 2019, and while he is a reliable (though far from scary) receiver, his primary role in the Giants’ offense has been as a blocker. Evan Engram, meanwhile has been used as a glorified safety blanket who has only been productive thanks to his (frankly) insane ability after the catch. Could the Giants decide to make Ellison a cap casualty as they pursue free agents at other positions? And could Dave Gettleman trade Engram because the Giants’ coaching staff can’t seem to figure out how to use a tight end who isn’t an undersized offensive tackle? And if so... Then what? Today we ask those questions.In this podcast we discussThe state of the tight end positionWill Rhett Ellison be a cap casualty? Are the Giants using Evan Engram to his fullest potential? Could the Giants trade Engram? Which tight end prospects might be worth watching if the Giants create a hole for themselves? - Irv Smith Jr. (Alabama)- Noah Fant (Iowa)- T.J.
