Grit is great. Grit may keep your team in every game. It may prove to be the difference in a tight fourth quarter. Grit can travel. Grit can arrive and never leave.
Coach Tom Coughlin saw grit in his Giants last week in Buffalo.
“We’re trying to identify who we are,’’ Coughlin said. “I think those attributes that you saw last weekend are very much what you’d like them to be.’’
Grit is great, but it cannot always overcome deficiencies in talent or personnel or smarts. The Giants, 2-2 after losing their first two games, face the 49ers on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium.
