'It Ain't Even Gonna Be A Matchup' - A Vikings LB Is Already Talking Shit, Forgets We Now Have Bearded Daniel Jones And Malik Nabers
I know it's easy to make fun of the Giants offense. Been easy to do after last year and the biggest story was Tommy DeVito's family making incredible food in the parking lot. But things are different now. We have Brian Daboll calling the plays. We have Malik Nabers. And, arguably most importantly, we have a bearded Daniel Jones.
Also, Ivan Pace seems to forget what Daniel Jones did to the Vikings last time he saw them. 300 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, 78 rushing yards. Oh, and a win in the playoffs. So as much as the Vikings want to make fun of the Giants offense, that was still a very real thing that happened against them. I'm not saying I have great confidence, but this is a new era. This is Daniel Jones playing for his career. This is a man who has Kay Adams flustered talking about him. This is a man who has Malik Nabers and future Hall of Famer Wan'Dale Robinson out there as weapons.
It's the beauty of week 1. I can trick my very stupid brain into having hope. I can sit there and say hey, we made the playoffs two years ago and even won a game, why can't it happen again? I know everyone (including me) has almost zero faith in Daniel Jones. But that was old Daniel Jones. He now has confident, he kept the beard, that's step 1 in showing leadership and reading defenses. See, can trick my dumb brain into anything. All I know is it's week 1. Would be a shame for Ivan Pace to be drastically wrong.
