In the previous year the Giants went 3-13, which was the worst record in franchise history. A big question that came up during and after the season was what the future at the quarterback position would be for the Giants. Eli Manning, a time two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback and the best quarterback in Giants’ history, was beginning to show his age and began to decline. Many people in the fanbase wanted the Giants to move on from Manning and rebuild. They wished to find his successor in a draft full of top-notch college quarterbacks. There was another half of the fanbase who thought the Giants should stick with Manning and instead bolster the team to return to playoff form. They argued that the Giants were decimated by injuries to star players and that they were only one year removed from an 11-5 season in which they made the playoffs. Giants fans argued for months leading up until the draft, and on April 26th, 2018 the decision was made. Roger Goodell, commissioner of the NFL, walked up to a podium in Dallas and said, “With the second pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the New York Giants select Saquon Barkley, running back, Penn State.” Half of the fanbase cheered and the other half booed. Many thought not taking a quarterback would hurt the Giants’ future and saw Barkley as just another prospect. USA Today Sports It turns out those people couldn't have been more wrong. Despite starting the year 1-7, Saquon showed everyone why he has the potential to be one of best running backs Barkley breaks a tackle in the Week 14 in NFL history. He broke tackles like it was victory at Washington nothing, he reversed field and cut back with ease, he turned screen passes into chunk plays, and most importantly he gave us fans something to cheer for. Since that 1-7 start, the Giants are 4-1 and they have to thank Mr. Barkley quite a lot for that. As of December 12th, among RBs, he’s third in rushing yards, fourth in touchdowns, and second only to Ezekiel Elliot in scrimmage yards. The kid is truly special. So, even though he might not be able to solve the Giants’ question at quarterback, there shouldn’t be any doubt in anyone’s mind anymore that Saquon Barkley was the best player the Giants could’ve taken. With an offense full of weapons, whoever the next quarterback of the Giants is will be just fine. How could he not be? He has number 26 lined up behind him in the backfield. !3 The “Ferocious” Blue Devils With the Help of Zanos Isaac Schertz ’20 Getty Images There are plenty of talented college basketball teams, but not all of them have pieces that mesh together cleanly. The Duke Blue Devils seem to be the outlier under that quota. Beginning the season, the Duke Blue Devils acquired the three top prospects in America. R.J. Barrett, Cam Reddish, and Zion Williamson, whom they now call “Zanos” after the Marvel character Thanos, joined the ingenious Mike Krzyzewski. The Blue Devils entered the season ranked as number 4, but they changed that on opening day. With Williamson and Barrett carrying the Blue Devils’ offense, the duo helped Duke break the game open with a dominant 25-11 second-quarter run while scoring 37 of the team’s 40 first-half points. Together they combined for more than 60 points on the night. After that, the Blue Devils became number 1 in the country. On November 21st, the Blue Devils faced their first real threat of the season, the Gonzaga Bulldogs. This game awarded Gonzaga with a win and Duke with a loss due to a fast-paced, back-and-forth affair that doubled as the most entertaining game this college basketball season has so far provided. These Bulldogs were not messing around, shooting 64.5 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes and taking a 16-point lead early in the second half. Duke’s top prospect, Williamson, was, believe it or not, out there missing the dunks which are supposed to be his specialty. The Zags were leading the entire way through and had Duke trailing 79-66 with 7:20 remaining in the second. By then, the game must feel over, but those Blue Devils do not go down without a fight. Late in the second, Duke’s freshman Tre Jones showed a sign of hope for these Devils and helped spark a comeback. The score went from 79-66 to 87-87 in less than six minutes thanks to a 21-8 run that culminated with a post move from Williamson and served as a reminder that Duke has the top three projections in the US on their roster. Not until a long hard battle had been fought was Duke served their first loss of the season. After the loss, Duke’s new rating was 3rd the nation, but that didn’t seem to bother them at all, with four straight wins after the loss, each by at least 20 points. All in all, this Blue Devils team is an extremely talented, yet also scary team to face at any time in the season. A message to the league, “Watch out, because they are fierce. Watch them like a hawk.” !4 MLB Offseason Moves Avi Blitzer ’19 With the MLB Offseason getting underway, it is time to look at the winners and losers of the early MLB Offseason. Winners Losers Tampa Bay Rays Boston Red Sox or Washington Nationals With the Rays already having the American League With teams needing starting pitching, the two best Cy Young winner and a new strategy that seemed to pitchers on the market got big paydays in Nathan work out for them in bullpenning, one did not Eovaldi and Patrick Corbin. While these signings expect them to go out and spend money on a free may pay off for these teams, both teams had to offer agent pitcher this offseason. So, they did just that more years and more money to pitchers who have and got a guy in Charlie Morton who is a great #2 had Tommy John surgeries in the past. Ultimately, I pitcher behind Blake Snell on a team that is going to can easily see one of these two guys going down need a decent number of innings from their starters with another significant arm injury and therefore on certain days. Morton was injury prone before making his contract a huge detriment to the team joining the Astros; however, a small market team that signed him. However, that being said, I do like the Rays has to make risky investments like expect either Corbin or Eovaldi to work out for the these, and it may very well pay off for them. Nationals or Red Sox respectively. New York Yankees Time Will Tell Yes, the Yankees did give up their #1 prospect in New York Mets Justus Sheffield. They, in return, got an ace from the Mariners in James Paxton, who can help them The Mets have gone all-in on competing in the compete against the Red Sox right now, as opposed coming years, as they have added Robinson Cano to Sheffield who would only be able to help a year and the best closer in all of baseball, Edwin Diaz. or two down the road. The Yankees have also They have also recently signed Jeurys Familia to a recently resigned J.A. Happ to a two-year $17 three-year $30 million deal. This puts the Mets in a million deal that would include a third year for 2021 position to win now after trading away many of if Happ makes 27 starts or pitches 165 innings in their top prospects to acquire Diaz and Cano. This 2020. This is a good deal as the Yankees get a good gives the Mets the chance not to squander Jacob #4 pitcher in Happ for two years (possibly a third) at Degrom or Noah Syndergaard's careers, as they a moderate rate and get out of the contract before have built a team around them that may have a they have to pay their young superstars. Overall chance of winning. However, this can easily go good job by the Yankees so far this offseason. south if the Mets don’t play well and have to trade all of their valuable players just to retool the farm system. Knowing the Mets, Diaz will blow out his arm, Cano will hit the decline, Familia will be overused, worn out and no longer good, and they will have to trade away Degrom and Syndergaard for pennies on the dollar.

  • The Broncos Have a Von Miller Problem. Here's What John Elway
    The Broncos have a Von Miller problem. Here’s what John Elway can do to fix it. By Mark Kiszla Denver Post Jan. 18, 2018 The Broncos have a Von Miller problem. Don’t get me wrong. The Vonster is an elite pass rusher, a good teammate and a funny dude. But he was born to dance, not lead. Since Peyton Manning retired, let’s just say Miller is 0-for-2 in leading the Broncos to the playoffs. “Two times not going to the playoffs is just not going to ride,” Miller admitted before Denver’s final loss in a 5-11 season. “There are going to be some drastic changes this offseason, and I’m all for it.” Well, now we get to find out how much Miller really means it. If Denver wants to return to the playoffs in 2018, what the team needs is a new leader to set the tone, so Miller can focus on producing more than his 10 quarterback sacks in 2017, which ranked 18th in the NFL. Miller turns 29 in March. When I asked him if he felt like an old bull, Miller laughed and replied: “No, not yet. I still have like 12 or 15 (years left). I hate to say that ‘old’ word.” How many prime seasons, however, does Miller realistically have left? Three? Maybe four? If the Broncos want to avoid the pain of a lengthy rebuild, they need a quarterback who can not only lead touchdown drives but command respect in a locker room full of strong personalities.

  • Ravens Holen Yannick Ngakoue Von Den Vikings
    Ravens holen Yannick Ngakoue von den Vikings Die Baltimore Ravens erwarben Defensive End Yannick Ngakoue von den Minnesota Vikings als Gegenleistung für einen 3rd Round Pick im NFL Draft 2021 und einen Conditional Draft Pick in Runde 5 im Jahr 2022. Das teilten Quellen Adam Schefter von ESPN mit. Ngakoues Zeit bei den Vikings dauerte nur sechs Spiele, nachdem ihn die Jacksonville Jaguars in dieser Offseason nach Minnesota geschickt hatte. Ngakoue kostete die Vikings einen 2nd Round Pick im Draft 2021 und einen Conditional Draft Pick in Runde 5 im Jahr 2022. Der Star Pass-Rusher wird in den nächsten 24 Stunden nach Baltimore fliegen, um die COVID-19 Tests über sich ergehen zu lassen, damit er am kommenden Sonntag gegen die Pittsburgh Steelers spielen kann. Die Ravens haben diese Woche ihr Bye. Ngakoue ist seit einiger Zeit ein Ziel von General Manager Eric DeCosta, immerhin hat Baltimore in den letzten Monaten mehrmals versucht, ihn für sich zu gewinnen. “Wir freuen uns, Yannick Ngakoue in unsere Footballmannschaft aufzunehmen”, sagte DeCosta. “Er ist ein aufregender Spieler und ein gefährlicher Pass-Rusher, der uns besser macht.” Ein stärkerer Pass-Rush wurde als großes Bedürfnis der Ravens angesehen, obwohl sie mit 22 Sacks den zweiten Platz in der Liga belegen. Der 25-Jährige hat in sechs Spielen bei den Vikings fünf Sacks gemacht. Seit seinem Eintritt in die NFL hat er jedes Jahr mindestens acht Quarterback-Takedowns gesammelt. Jaguars traden Ngakoue zu den Vikings Die Jacksonville Jaguars haben sich mit den Minnesota Vikings geeinigt. Die Jaguars tauschen den Defensive End Yannick Ngakoue gegen einen Second Round Pick 2021 und einen conditional Fifth Round Draft Pick 2022.

  • Baker Mayfield Wrong Quarterback for Broncos If John Elway’S Thinking Is Stuck in the Past by Mark Kiszla Denver Post Jan
    Baker Mayfield wrong quarterback for Broncos if John Elway’s thinking is stuck in the past By Mark Kiszla Denver Post Jan. 25, 2018 Unless the Broncos are truly committed to changing the way they think about football, John Elway should stop wasting his time scouting quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen down in Mobile, Ala., and just go order himself a big bowl of boiled crawfish. Were those tears of frustration shed by Paxton Lynch all in vain? Let’s hope not. The Broncos have more than a quarterback problem. They have a stubborn problem. Have the public and painful NFL failures of Lynch, whose proficiency in the spread offense at Memphis made him a first-round draft pick, finally taught Denver a lesson? “We have to take what those guys do best and kind of put it in our plan,” said Vance Joseph when he arrived at the Senior Bowl to coach Mayfield and Allen. “We can’t watch those guys on tape for four or five months and then draft those guys and ask them to do different things. … We have to implement spread concepts for those guys to be successful on our level.” Well, hallelujah. It’s nice to see the Broncos finally intend to join the rest of the NFL in the 21st century. Now we will find out if Elway actually gives Joesph the authority to modernize Denver’s offensive philosophy. If Elway wants to give Mayfield, Allen or Sam Darnold a real chance to succeed after investing a first- round draft choice in a quarterback, the Broncos must adapt their system to a rookie signal-caller, rather than repeat what Denver did on its way to a 5-11 record.
