Giants DB Logan Ryan Sends Strong Message to Overreactions Towards 0-3 Start
Column - October 1, 2021
Joe Judge said it best on Sunday night following his team’s 17-14 aggravating loss to the Atlanta Falcons in MetLife Stadium when posed a question about the negative reactions the organization–all the way up to ownership–received throughout the afternoon.
New York is always going to be a tough, demanding place to play in and a market where everything is earned and no pats on the back are given freely.
“It’s New York, it’s supposed to be a tough place to play right? Isn’t that the nature of where we’re at right now,” Judge said. “People demand excellence because we’re in the biggest market, so that’s what we have to work to give them.”
“It’s our job to entertain them and give them something to cheer about.”
While the Giants leader understands that when things go south in New York–particularly when his team is 6-13 under his tenure and riding along the bottom of the league in many statistical categories–it is only natural that the constituency they represent will commence chatter and overreact, there’s a player in his locker room not willing to buy into that part of the message.
Logan Ryan believes that all the noise coming from the New York market–the talking heads in swivel chairs on sports talk radio specifically–is simply put, huge overreactions. Such to a team that has more talent and capability to turn things around than people are giving them credit for.
