Authentic Odell Beckham Jr Jersey , New York Giants fans! Let’s get to your Wednesday morning headlines.“Real joy” after beating 49ersMonday’s victory over the San Francisco 49ers didn’t salvage the season or put the 2-7 Giants back into playoff contention. It did, however, provide a struggling team with a much-needed boost.“Anytime you win, it kind of verifies that what you’re doing is right,” coach Pat Shurmur saids Tuesday. “The reason we all started playing and coaching football is because we love the competition, we love the physical nature of the game, and we love the process of getting ready to play the next opponent. Then on game day, you put all your energy into winning, all your energy into putting a winning performance on the field, and so I sensed real joy in the locker room yesterday – a bunch of guys that put a lot into it, and we were able to overcome some adversity and win a football game. “Hopefully we can get on a little run now and win a few games in a row here and just see what happens. Certainly when you win, it helps verify and justify that what you’re doing is right.”Quarterback Eli Manning agreed.“Wins are important,” Manning said. “Wins mean a lot, especially after this season and what we’ve had to go through as a team, what I’ve had to go through, and just the questions and this and that. So, just to be able to have a two-minute drive to win a football game, hopefully we can just focus on some positive things for at least one more week.”Around the Inter-GoogleThe future of football looks a lot like Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes | SI.comArmed with the ideal QB and a penchant for concepts (new or old) meant to bamboozle a defense, the Chiefs’ guru is Color Rush Jon Halapio Jersey , at age 60, giving offensive football a whole new lookFor Giants, feeling good again matters -- even more than draft position | SNYWhere are the sacks?

Can DC James Bettcher find a pass rush?Saquon Barkley dazzled in Giants’ debut, but wanted to be just a few yards better The Jacksonville Jaguars knew what they were facing as soon as they tried to tackle New York Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley.“I knew right away. The first run and the first couple of times I tackled him, I said, ‘this kid has something Color Rush Curtis Riley Jersey ,’ ” All-Pro defensive end Calais Campbell said after the game.Campbell made sure after the game that he found Barkley and swapped jerseys with the rookie.“Coming into the NFL against a team like ours, and making some of the plays he made, that kid’s going to be special,” Campbell said. “I traded jerseys with him after the game because I was like, ‘Okay, if he can stay healthy, he might one day be a Hall of Famer. So now, I’ll get his jersey when he’s young.’ ”You get the feeling that Sunday was an example of how Barkley’s NFL career could go, provided he stays healthy. Because it’s how his career at Penn State. Ho-hum, mundane, ordinary, nothing special and then all of a sudden ... EXTRAORDINARY!!He had 8 carries for 12 yards in the first half Sunday. His longest third-quarter run was 8 yards. The game appeared to be over, just another mundane, nothing to see here, loss for the Giants after Myles Jack took a tipped pass to the house to give Jacksonsville a 20-9 lead early in the fourth quarter.Then ... BAM!!! Then Barkley the Giants believed they drafted, the one GM Dave Gettleman said got only the second perfect scouting grade he’s ever handed out, the one who was a human highlight reel at Penn State, happened.Just a little handoff up the middle, and the tiniest amount of room to manuever. All of a sudden Youth Odell Beckham Jr Jersey , two Jaguars, maybe three, had flailed and missed at the line of scrimmage. A good enough block from Evan Engram and Barkley was in the open field and headed for the right sideline.A block from Sterling Shepard and he got the corner. One more Jacksonville defender tried to bring him down and came up with just air. Barkley tiptoed the sideline, stayed in bounds and went 68 yards for the dazzling score.The Giants had a chance again. They had indeed found a star running back who could do things only few can. MetLife was alive. The Giants didn’t complete the comeback, but everyone now knows what Barkley can do.“We knew he was a really good player coming in,” said Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone. “It’s one of those games where you feel like you’re doing a good job, you got a lot of population to the football, you got a lot of people trying to bring him down. Then all of a sudden, bam! He breaks that, whatever it was, 68-yard run. Outside of that, I thought we did a pretty good job against him. We were really focusing on him, knowing that he’s a heck of a player.Barkley finished with 106 yards on 18 carries, 5.9 per attempt. He became the first Giants rookie to gain at least 100 yards rushing in his NFL debut. His run was the longest by a Giants rookie since Ahmad Bradshaw went 88 yards vs. the Buffalo Bills in 2007.Barkley, though, wished he had been a little bit better.There was a fourth-and-2 carry in the third quarter with the Giants trailing 13-9 where he came up just short.“Fourth-and-one is always tough to get, especially when you have a defense like that. Fourth-and-one mentality is you have to get it no matter what by any-means-necessary,” Barkley said. “I jumped and I thought I had it, I thought I did enough to keep the sticks moving Color Rush Patrick Omameh Jersey , but I didn’t and that is something where there’s no excuses that I’m a young player, and I have to realize how important that is.”There was the two-point conversion after his 68-yard run where he was stopped short.There was a fourth-quarter pass from Eli Manning on third-and-5 where he got 4 yards. Well, really about 4 3鈦? yards, but couldn’t get the last little bit needed for the first down.“My realistic expectation was that I expected to win. Every game you come into, you expect to win by any means,” Barkley said. “It didn’t matter if I had 100 in the air or 100 on the ground, or if I had 20 rushing yards; I’m not really a stats guy, I don’t really care about stats. I want to get the win and that was my expectation, but sometimes you fall short on your expectations and it means you have to continue to work and we have to go back to the drawing board and go back to practice and get treatment, recover and get our bodies right and continue to get better.”The Giants didn’t win, of course. As I wrote in “Kudos & Wet Willies,” in the standings this amounts to a loss in a game that was winnable, it amounts to a missed opportunity to upset a really good team and get the season off to an exciting start.Barkley’s single run, though, showed the promise of a future that should be a lot of fun to watch.
