It's time for the New York Giants to make some gutsy moves



Article by Antwon "Smitty" Smith

The New York Giants are headed down the same path that they've been accustomed to for quite a while now and the only way to change their franchise woes and direction is make moves that make sense. Catch my drift? It may be time to shake up their front office if they cannot make the proper moves to have this organization back at an elite level.

They made some great off-season moves to bolster their roster by drafting talented running back Saquon Barkley, trading for Alec Ogletree and bringing in new head coach Pat Shurmur to give their offense a boost, but the same lingering problems keep rearing their ugly heads, which at this point is becoming a disgrace to Giants fans.

Eli Manning is playing his 15th season in the Big Apple, but let's be real here, the execution and flow of the offense is off rhythm. Eli is a turnover machine which is putting the Giants behind early and coming from behind is not their forte. The 2-time super bowl champion has seen his better days and now it's just a respect thing with the Giants front office. Keeping Eli as the starter in 2017 cost Ben McAdoo his job as the G-men would finish 3-13. Manning says "I have confidence in myself, I can still play", but does he really believe that?


Another issue with the Giants is their frustrated superstar receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who lets his emotions get the best of him. His antics are getting old and becoming a distraction to the Giants team. Beckham signed a $95 million dollar extension before the season, but it seems he's still not matured enough to become the face of the Giants franchise. He has to understand that in a media market as big as New York, you can't make senseless mistakes on or off the football field.



These are the two constant obstacles that the Giants put themselves through week after week, but if they don't change their way of thinking, this franchise could get set back again. Here is what they should do........

The Falcons drafting a running back could be a smart move

The Atlanta Falcons are bringing in running back prospects to interview and work out for the upcoming NFL draft starting with Georgia running back Nick Chubb. It's something I definitely agree  with as a fan and an analyst.

What will the Atlanta Falcons do at #26?

The Atlanta Falcons are two years post-Super Bowl appearance and they still have a nice window to return there. They have some holes to fill on both sides of the ball, whether it's to find a starter or to add depth at key positions. I think they could use the #26 pick in the first round of the draft to add depth at defensive tackle, right guard, tight end or free safety. Grady Jarrett needs a big body on the other side of him, with Dontari Poe hitting free agency Atlanta has to get a space eater/gap filler that helps in the run game. Austin Hooper has been a good addition to the Falcons offense, but still needs to grow and Atlanta needs reliable hands in the red zone. Wes Schweitzer has not been consistent and has seen some bad snaps that could land him as a role player. This could be the position the Falcons could use the 26th pick but that still remains to be seen. The Falcons need depth at the safety with the team releasing Ishmael and R...

Smitty's Top 10 NBA players heading into the 2018-2019 season

The NBA has some of the best athletes in sports but when it comes to playing basketball, some players stand out and know how to take their game to another level. Here are my top 10 players that can do just that, play at another level.  1. LeBron James SF Los Angeles Lakers  2017-2018 Stats: 27.5 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 9.1 apg   The king lived up to his name this season as he carried the Cavs to a 4th straight finals appearance. He played in all 82 games (first time in his career) and endured a trade, so he's still #1. 2. Kevin Durant SF Golden State Warriors 2017-2018 Stats:  26.4 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 5.4 apg  The now 2-time NBA champion and Finals MVP also put on a show this past season as he excelled on the defensive side of the ball, something he isn't known for throughout his career.  3. Anthony Davis C New Orleans Pelicans 2017-2018 Stats: 28.1 ppg, 11.1 rpg, 2.3 apg  This young stud is only getting better with ...
