4 NY Giants who must get it together in Week 4 vs. the Bears

After a devastating loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3, the NY Giants need to bounce back in a big way heading into their next matchup vs. the Bears. However, throughout the first three weeks, we have seen many players on the Giants disappoint.

If this team wants to win in Week 4 and be successful throughout the rest of the season, these players must get it together and play better. It can start with an impressive showing vs. Chicago. Will these four playmakers below answer the call for head man Brian Daboll?

4. Kenny Golladay

What else is there to say at this point? Golladay has been flat out disgraceful during his tenure with the NY Giants, not even looking like a starting-caliber player at times. Throughout the first three games, Golladay has only caught two passes for 22 yards.

This is absolutely unacceptable, and when you consider the things Golladay said prior to his putrid performance against the Cowboys, it gets even worse.

Golladay looks uninvolved, unhappy, and straight-up lazy, and almost all fans of the team are sick of it. While I may understand why Golladay may not be happy, as he was a former Pro-Bowler and honestly a great receiver for the Lions, it seems as if that time is over, and for Golladay to say something so entitled, yet almost refuse to produce, is just disrespectful to the coaching staff.

With Sterling Shepard tearing his ACL during the Giants matchup against the Cowboys, it seems as if Golladay will be forced to step up back into the limelight. If he continues to fail in terms of production, than it is very likely that Golladay will not be with the team by the end of the season.

3. OG Mark Glowinski

After signing former Colts guard Mark Glowinski to a three year, $18.3 million deal this offseason, it seemed as if the NY Giants finally got themselves a much needed upgrade at the position. However, throughout the first three weeks of the season, Glowinski’s level of play has been quite lackluster.

According to PFF, Glowinski has a player grade of 53.3, also allowing a sack in the process. Compared to how he played last season, this is completely unacceptable.

While Glowinski has certainly had moments where he has looked very solid, for the most part his play has been poor. Especially in the NY Giants last game against the Dallas Cowboys, where Glowinski embarrassed himself.

The NY Giants have a history of signing very disappointing offensive linemen through free agency. Hopefully Glowinski doesn’t join the list, however, throughout three games he has yet to give us any reason not to believe it.

Entering the NY Giants Week 4 matchup against the Bears, Glowinski has his best opportunity yet to show he can make a bigger impact than he has thus far. Let’s see how he does.

2. OT Evan Neal

While we may not be worried about Evan Neal in the long run, his start to the season has been far from ideal. Especially after the Giants Week 3 matchup against the Cowboys, where he surrendered three sacks and five pressures.

Neal was seen as a generational offensive lineman prospect coming out of college, and this is still the case. Most offensive lineman tend to struggle in their rookie season, but this is something NY Giants fans know more than anyone else.

Outside of the game vs. Dallas, Neal has been very solid, nothing too crazy, but not bad by any means. Regardless, Neal must improve his level of play this season so the team does not suffer anymore.

As unworried as we may be about Neal, he must play better if the team wants a chance to succeed. Entering Week 4 against the Bears, Neal will likely be matched up against Al-Quadin Muhammad, who has yet to record a sack this season. This will likely be Neal’s best chance to prove he has the potential to turn things around.

1. LB Tae Crowder

To be honest, Tae Crowder has looked pretty awful this season. His run defense may not be the worst at times, but his complete inability in coverage has ruined the NY Giants defense at times. The tackling needs to be better too. He should have stopped Ezekiel Elliott on the touchdown run you can see below:

Crowder was a very questionable player last season, and in all honesty, it was surprising to not see the Giants front office replace him. Not only does he really not fit in Wink Martindale’s defense, but Crowder’s all around ability on defense becomes a negative more than a positive at times.

The Crowder experience has been a very up-and-down one – mostly down. The NY Giants are going to need him to up his level of play if the defense wants to continue to succeed.

NY Giants trading Saquon Barkley would be slapping Daniel Jones in the face

There's speculation on a potential Saquon Barkley trade, but the NY Giants owe it to Daniel Jones to keep him through the rest of the season.
