Very revealing stats 🙏🏻

When I look at the run D I see a very disturbing stat. I never expected it to be so bad. Fans rip on Thibs but the run D got soft after he went down.

I heard on a podcast recently that both Wink and Bowen came to the Giants with a history of pretty good run defenses.  Yet, both had bad run defenses when they were with the Giants.  I wonder why that is.

A crappy front office, a dearth of talent, no identity are the obvious reasons.  After watching hard knocks this off season I said to my wife, 'the Giants are doomed.'

The GM collects players, doesn't have a vision for the team or either side of the ball.   

If no QB is worth it this next draft,  then DON'T draft one.  Draft O line and D line "dogs" and wait for the next draft.(build inside out) Hold your nose and stick with Jones one more year. (dont worry, with Jones as the QB, they will still suck enough to get a good QB prospect in the 26 draft.)

I completely agree with your excellent point about talent collecting as opposed to team building
