Well, look, we're going through the tape right now,

The name of Patrick Mahomes has been used around the Giants for years. It goes all the way back to when head coach Ben McAdoo was lobbying for the Giants to draft him in 2017. He was already off the board and selected by Kansas City by the time they got around to picking Evan Engram. Then general manager Dave Gettleman began evoking Mahomes after he drafted Daniel Jones with Eli Manning already on the roster in 2019.

the Giants and the Jets both are 0-2, a pitiful reflection of their overall ineptitude and yet a steep disappointment based on where we were less than a month ago. Back then everything was rosy, optimism was high and there was legitimate hope that this season would be different from so many of recent vintage. Aaron Glenn was the coach who was going to change the Jets. Russell Wilson was the quarterback who was going to fix the Giants. So far everything feels morbidly similar.

The Giants' shaky left-tackle situation was exacerbated by James Hudson's epic meltdown on Sunday in Dallas against the Cowboys. One drive, one sack allowed, four penalties, including two 15-yard personal fouls, and a benching which led to an explosive sideline rant. It forced head coach Brian Daboll to turn to rookie Marcus Mbow, a natural right tackle, who held his own just enough to keep the offensive line secure enough for Russell Wilson's big afternoon.

You see the explosiveness obviously rushing the passer, Bowen said on Thursday ahead of the Giants' season opener on Sunday against the Commanders down in Landover. He's a really good athlete, too. He can bend, the flexibility, everything that comes with it, which we've all seen from Penn State. Drafted No. 3 overall, Carter was considered by many to be the best overall athlete available and one who can turn a game on its head in an instant.

But when New York shockingly won the Super Bowl in 2007 against the then-undefeated New England Patriots, Singh became a hardcore fan. He attended his first game a few years later at the old Giants Stadium, just before it closed, and has been a season-ticket holder since 2021. He even dons a Giants-themed Turban, which he's received an abundance of support for, he said.
