From DaveDiehl66.com:The fans and media worry a lot about our wide receivers, and it is tough to lose a player like Plaxico Burress, of course. But we’ve got guys who are hungry and are excited about getting the opportunity to play.
Bringing in Hakeem Nicks as a first-round pick is exciting, he’s a tremendous guy and tremendous athlete. We have the same agent so I know that he’s already found a place to live so he can stay here all summer and catch passes and run routes with Eli. It’s awesome to see a guy with the intensity and dedication. He can make a splash right away.
Steve Smith is a player who has made big plays for us and we just got a glimpse of what Dominic Hixon can do last year, he’s just coming into his own and should get a lot more playing time. Sinorice Moss and Mario Manningham are also players look to get into the mix. And even though he is a tight end, I see Kevin Boss playing a big role in our offense this year. Best thing about all of these guys is that they are still young and have tons of potential.
Diehl is right about a few things here. All of the players he listed are indeed young and have potential. Steve Smith is a beast. Hixon should and probably will get more burn. Nicks is a freak. But hunger doesn't necessarily make a player perform like Plaxico Burress. The team lost one of their greatest weapons, and until we get to see the replacements in a real game, it still has to be presumed that these guys won't be as valuable.
He's saying the right things in terms of political correctness, but the fact still remains that the Giants are still unsure at wide out.
Also, he failed to mention Ramses Barden. What the hell!!?? If there's a guy to replace Plax, it's Barden.
