Youngsters in the Outfield
Old school vs. new school is the topic. “Respect your elders,” says
McQuarters to the young future generation of the New York Giants
defensive backs.
Giants are ready for the next generation to step up so it was a very
good move to have these players already on our side.
The corners stay jokingly calling each other names and laughing
together which is a good sign. This helps them stay positive and
motivated when it comes down to live action games.
The two good things about this whole situation, is that they are
fitting together well and getting along just fine as a team. Also, that
these young outfielders are learning from two very experienced corners.
To all fit together well means they will communicate better and feel
comfortable with each other in pointing out criticisms. It’s
psychological that the closer you feel to the team, the better your
minds work together to understand….you get what I’m saying?!
Second, these young players are learning from the experienced. Even
though, our outside is blessed with quickness they will learn that it is
not necessarily all about speed. The outside, just like linebackers, use
vision the majority of the time. The hardest part about it is making the
chase and opening your eyes to the rest of the field once past the
vision. The outside game happens so fast that if you blink, the
receivers have a high chance of scoring.
It is very important for the Big Blue to have a good outside defensive
game. It has been a few years since we have been able to shut down
offenders but we’ll see.
