My guard broke when Waller was Daniel Jones' clear favorite target in their lone preseason game. Waller was by far the best player in the Giants passing game, and was making big plays seemingly every day. He was a great player at his peak, but we hadn't seen him play at that level in a couple of seasons, and he was a 31-year-old who had missed time in each of the previous two seasons with injuries, so I was mostly out on him as his price rose in the preseason.īut the drumbeat out of Giants camp was hard to ignore.
I spent most of the offseason skeptical of the idea that Waller was going to have a huge impact on the Giants offense. I wish I had applied that to Darren Waller and the Giants offense. If you've got an immediate answer to a question that you then talk yourself into, it's often better to stick with that initial answer. Most Mondays when it's not NFL season, I go do bar trivia with some friends, and one thing I've learned from that is to trust your gut instinct when you start to waver on an answer.
