NFL Week 3 Preview + Quarterback Injury Fallout

Yeah, it really is, Femi, and it's really a blow just because, you know, what's out there answer-wise.

If it's not on your roster and it's hard to have a backup that can come in and just take over without missing a step for the starter, but, you know, we've seen here two weeks.

Look at quarterback injuries.

In just two weeks, you just have to have depth.

there.

And, you know, I'm sure there's a lot of calls being made.

I would love to know the number of calls the Bengals probably have gotten on Joe Flacco.

I would not think they'd be in a position to do that.

But for the Giants, they have Jameis Winston, who I think you're going to see play much better this week than you did last week.

I think he's going to be much more in tuned and ready to go.

So is he the answer? Listen, we know he's talented.

He's been around.

Again, when you lose your starter, especially this early in the season, for the rest of the season, Boy, it's a huge obstacle to overcome.

But it's going to be interesting to see how he steps in this week after a full week of practice with the starters.

You know, I'm sure the Giants are looking like everybody else that needs one.

But as I say, it's hard to find a guy if you don't have one.

Yeah.

And you would expect it to be a little bit different.

Like you mentioned, like Jameis will now get the full reps with the first team, as opposed to last week when maybe he got one rep if that, and it's like, Hey, now we need to go out there and play football, buddy.

And like, kind of looks like a deer in the headlights, but the Jameis Winston conversation aside, just more so from a team standpoint, you've been in that situation before as a general manager where it's like, Hey, like we just suffered a devastating injury how to like, what's the mood like in the building at this point? Because it's hard, at least for us on the outside, like I'm not a Giants fan.

I'm a football fan.

Like I watch the sport.

It's hard not for me to look at the Giants and say, well, season's over.

How as a general manager and as a leader, do you, I guess, guard against that being the general sentiment throughout the building of, wow, we're screwed.

2026 is already done because we just lost our most important player.
