2023 B/R NFL Power Rankings: Where Does Every Team Stand Entering Week 12?
K.Thompson3 months ago
- Rob Carr/Last Week:Week 11 Result: Won at Washington 31-19 You cannot stop Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito. You can only hope to contain him. An undrafted rookie free agent who lives with his parents, DeVito threw three touchdown passes Sunday in a win over the Washington Commanders, That gives DeVito five touchdown passes over his first two starts. Since 1950, that's the most touchdown passes by a Giants quarterback over his first two starts in franchise history. That's right. Not Eli Manning. Not Phil Simms. Tommy DeVito. While talking to reporters after the game, DeVito was quick to credit his coaches and teammates for Sunday's success. "I did not [know it was a franchise record]," DeVito said. "Like I said, it's all about the play-calling and executing the plays. Sometimes we get got by the defense, different coverage vs. what we don't want, and it's up to me to make the right decision and put us in a good situation. But when we have the defense that we want vs. certain plays, my job is easy. I just give it to the guys in space and let them do what they do. And they made it easy for me [Sunday]." It has still been a dismal season for a Giants team that won a playoff game last season. But for a little while at least, the Giants can enjoy a little positivity in Week 11. "There's a gleam, G-Men," Sobleski said. "There's a gleam. It comes in the form of a 6'2", 210-pound undrafted rookie named Tommy DeVito. It's funny how the Giants offense looks somewhat passable when anyone other than Daniel Jones is behind center. To be fair, Weeks 9 and 10 did not go well, with New York being outscored 79-23 in back-to-back losses to the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys. However, a spark emerged when DeVito threw for 246 yards and three scores against the rival Commanders. Improvement from DeVito is vital for the organization considering Jones' current injury situation and the likelihood the organization will pass on a quarterback in the draft. Bare minimum, the 25-year-old provides a developmental option, with the potential to start if/when Jones isn't ready."
