The New York Giants are a conundrum of their own making. No one is arguing that. They were run way too long by Jerry Reese, the general manager who coveted players with upside and potential rather than ones who could hit the ground running and help the team out of the gate.
Since Dave Gettleman took over eighteen months ago, the Giants have in essence been “de-Reese-ified” with most of Reese’s top draftees and free agents sent packing. Gettleman isn’t as enamored with athletic ability as he is with football acumen, size and toughness.
The Giants are still trying to digest this massive upheaval and progress has been slow.
