Tuck is a great leader on D, he's just not backing it up with his play this season. It's true, there's no Strahan like leader anymore, but guys like Tuck and Rolle are doing a good job. I really think they miss Grant to that point.
1st off, the Giants are never going to throw a whole lot at the TE spot. It's block first, catch later and if they get more out of it fine, but they'll always go for an affordable option and let Pope coach them up.
2nd, through 10 games last year Ballard had 27 rec for 443 yds and 3 TDs and Bennett now has 36 rec 411 yds and 3 tds. So he's about at the same point. I'm not a stat junky so I know there's more to it, but Ballard had plenty of drops too. I def agree that Bennett isn't exactly all there all the time, but ya get what ya pay for and Eli seems to get the same production out of every TE, from Boss to Bennett.......hmmm.....Boss, Bennett, Bear....da **** is with the B's? Anyway, Bennett is on a 1 yr deal and don't be shocked if Ballard is back next year if his rehab goes well.
No doubt about that. They are working our soft secondary coverage big time and on D they've cracked the code on Nicks and Cruz and are giving us nothing to work with.
Let's not go down this road again.....
