Git Em Out of 'Ere

 This is the current 2021 odds Dey Aint Gonna Be Giants Soon. An ongoing tracking of odds the following players or coaches will not be with the Giants organization next year or sooner. There is no science to this in fact it is based on emotions, observations, common sense and more emotions. It is not posted after a game because at that time there are too many emotions involved and tend to distort the already distorted and complex calculations. The mob is forming, gaining in size and momentum. The players and coaches listed may not deserve the target on their backs but times like this frequently involve one or more scapegoats. 


Jason Garrett OC 65% up 30%

Fans are ready to burn the place down. They want blood and the mob has to be given someone. Jason Garrett is a big target. Although the offense has not been playing poorly they have not been winning games. And today if you can't win you suck. Sounds like a President Trump quote. Garrett is the easy scapegoat right now. Freddie Kitchens is on standby waiting for the call. The Mara’s are feeling the pressure, Joe Judge is feeling the heat. Giants swapped offensive line coaches last year swapping Garrett and Kitchens would provide an easy transition since the general strategies would not be drastically altered overnight. 


Evan Engram TE 65% up 47%

The promising and talented Engram has too many drops and too many injuries and yes we are including his recent fumble against the Falcons as a drop. First round talent must make game changing plays, Unfortunately Engrams game changing plays frequently benefit the opposition. The Giants had an opportunity to shop Engram last year after his selection to the Pro Bowl. This season his contract expires and after three games it does not look good that he will come close to repeating last season's performance. He is a hard worker with a positive attitude and he is playing for a payday. It would be a mistake and affect the team's ability to move the ball and his market value. The stars are lined up for him to have an impactful season, cutting his playtime after last week's performance or to be influenced by the mob would be a mistake. He should be a big part of the offense but the odds of the Giants signing him to a new contract in the offseason is about 35%. 


David Gettleman GM 35% up 10%

Gettleman showed impressive skills in the most recent draft. Too bad he wasn’t able to do that throughout his tenure with the Giants. In 2017 when he took over the reigns for the Giants he has stated the offensive line will be his priority yet the offensive line is a major contributor to the Giants offensive woes. This combined with multiple draft selections and free agency pickups that cost the team draft picks and salary money but did nothing to halt the losing will lead to his downfall.


Patrick Graham 20% Up 10%

His defense held pretty good for most of the game holding the last place Falcons. Allowing the Falcons to score as the first half was ending and then twice in the 4th quarter shows his Mother Theresa defense is not enough to win. The loss of Giants Captain and defensive signal caller Blake Martinez can be devastating to the team and will make Graham’s job that much more difficult. 


Joe Judge HC 20% up 10%

The offense plays scared. When it comes to crunch time Garrett deploys the classic prevent offense and the Giants offense goes nowhere. Show them your trust and give them something to make them proud. Get Daniel Jones moving, move Barkley into open field, let lose a deep receiver, something has to be done tol generate a spark. There were several opportunities in this game. At 4th and 4 at the Falcons 39 would have shown the faith and had they converted the crowd would have gone wild and the entire offensive unit may have instantly grown a set of much needed Giant sized balls. Joe opted to punt. It was perfectly executed giving the Falcons the ball on their own 5. The defense then did their job and held the Falcons forcing them to punt and the Giants next drive went for a touchdown. All in all a smart play. Right? Absolutely if you have been winning games and are playing for field position. Coach has to recognize his offense needs something more than field position. They need a shot of white lightning and the Coach has to inject it. This 3rd quarter 4th and 4 was the perfect time to do so. Or perhaps a fake field goal in the second quarter with 4th and 6 on the Falcons 13. You have room to gain the 1st down or even score. Come on Coach, you know the game,the strategies and you know how to communicate and teach but it's time to inspire and get your players to BELIEVE! Something is going to have to be done asap. This team is the best 0-3 team the league has seen in decades. Throw out the book and get into the mind and soul of your players. An easy start is to fire Garrett but regardless its time to find the opportunity in the next game to get your players to believe.  


Daniel Jones QB 10% down 5%

Jones has been playing very well. Putting up numbers minimizing mistakes and turnovers. He needs a set of balls as well. So when Garrett moves into his prevent offense Jones should balls up audible out of it and show everyone he is not only a leader but his teammates surrounding him can play. 


Saquon Barkley RB 5% Down 3%

Everytime Barkley gets the ball his mind becomes a little more relaxed and not thinking about his knee and all the what ifs. It is not fair to put too much on his shoulders. Give him more time so he knows he doesn’t have to sacrifice himself for the team, not just yet anyway. 


Chris Mara VP Player Personnel Part Owner 5% New to list

How do you get rid of an owner? You really don’t. But you can remove some of their authority. Chris Mara has been scouting talent for the Giants going back to 79. He did run Prorate Inc., a scouting service with several NFL teams as clients. He also managed an arena football team, the New Jersey Gladiators. As owner he is not going anywhere but if this season continues to show no hope his role with the team may change in the offseason to quiet the mob. And if his role changes then John Mara can change his title as well.


John Mara President; CEO Part Owner .05% New to List

John Mara spent his entire life working for the GIants in one way or another. He has done much to improve the NFL and is well respected throughout the league. The mob may be chanting his name but chances of him stepping down are slim. A reorg of the organization chart may shuffle names but John  and Chris for that matter will always be providing advice.
