3 MINS AGO - Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images Will Joe Judge’s team be ready to defeat Ron Rivera’s Redskins? The New York Giants’ Week 6 and Week 9 contests against the Washington Redskins are must-win games if the Giants are going to have a chance in the NFC East. New York defeated Washington in both matchups between the two teams in the 2019 season. Riding the momentum of the Week 3 last-second victory against Tampa Bay, the Giants handily defeated the Redskins the following week, 24-3, as Daniel Jones threw for 225 yards to lead the Giants to a win. It is worth noting though that the second game between these two teams in Week 16 was a much different story. The Giants won, 41-35, but the game went into overtime and was a more high-scoring battle on both sides. Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. did not start in the first game against the Giants. Instead, he only came in the game when Case Keenum went down with an injury. Haskins was not yet the Redskins’ designated starter and Collapse

3 HRS AGO - Photo by Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Your guide to defensive terminology The marvelous game of football is always evolving. The foundational ideals that paved the path for modern football are cemented in the past, yet are contemporary with the growth of the latest schematics that either become a trend or fall by the wayside.

19 HRS AGO - Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images In his 11th NFL season, the former Redskin brings veteran experience to the Giants During his 11 years in the NFL, New York Giants backup quarterback Colt McCoy has seen and experienced almost everything. But as the former Redskin transitions to playing for what used to be his NFC-East rival and is tasked with learning a new system via Zoom meetings, he is certainly out of his element. “Right now, we’re seeing guys faces as two-inch faces on a computer screen,” McCoy said on Sirius XM Big 12 Radio on Wednesday morning. “I think for us, that’s all we can do right now is show up and try to learn as best we can and work hard at it.” After six years with the Redskins, McCoy is spotting some familiar faces amongst his new Giants teammates, albeit virtually. “Playing in the NFC East, you get a pretty good feel for players and coaches,” McCoy said. “I just looked at it as an opportunity to play for a Giants team that has a new coach and a new Collapse

23 HRS AGO - Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images Pro Football Focus thinks so Is defensive back Julian Love really the most underrated player on the New York Giants roster? Pro Football Focus thinks so, writing the following while listing every NFL team’s most underrated player: The Giants’ secondary has some definite question marks with DeAndre Baker facing possible legal trouble and an unproven group at cornerback behind free agent acquisition James Bradberry. But Julian Love is someone they should feel pretty good about after a promising start to his NFL career as a rookie last season. Love is a guy who graded extremely well at the college ranks as an outside cornerback for the Fighting Irish, earning coverage grades of 83.7 and 90.9 during his final two seasons with Notre Dame. Love followed that up by coming away from the 2019 season with an encouraging 70.5 overall grade despite being a 21-year-old rookie playing a new position. Whether he remains at safety or moves back to cornerback to Collapse

The basics Height: 6-foot-1Weight: 235Age: 23Position: LinebackerExperience: RookieContract: Year 1 of four-year, $3.37 million rookie contract How he got here By now, Giants fans should know the story.

2 DAYS AGO - Cody Core | Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images Could Core be a useful wide receiver? With new head coach Joe Judge having spent most of his career coaching special teams, it is no surprise that the New York Giants did not let Cody Core get away in free agency this offseason. Core is one of the best special teamers, specifically one of the best punt gunners, in the NFL. Let’s take a closer look at his likely role with the 2020 Giants. The basics Height: 6-foot-3Weight: 205Age: 26Position: WRExperience: 4Contract: Year 1 of two-year, $4 million contract. How he got here When the Giants cut preseason hero Alonzo Russell and claimed Core off waivers from the Cincinnati Bengals many fans wondered what the Giants were doing. Core spent the season showing why the Giants jumped when the Bengals parted ways with Core. Known as an excellent gunner, Core finished the season with a career-best 8 tackles. Judge, obviously, knew what he was looking at when he saw Core on film and the Giants Collapse
