While the words of New York Giants’ head coach Joe Judge, most fans were ready to run through a wall, but it seems as if the players are also in the same boat.
Wide receiver Golden Tate was excited about the prospect of learning from Judge and finally building a winning team after suffering through another failure of a season with the Giants. Tate, who’s on a four-year, $37.5 million deal with an out after the 2020 season, logged solid numbers in his first season with Big Blue.
Daniel Jones’ rookie seasons saw him target Tate 85 times, completing 49 for 676-yards and six scores. This is after Tate missed the first four games of the season due to a suspension, but he will return next campaign in a full-capacity from the get-go.
However, Tate isn’t prepared to wait until next training camp to begin his refinement under Judge. He’s ready to go right now.
Via Instagram, Tate stated:
“After listening to his press conference who needs an offseason lets get to work next week 🙂 :)”
Judge’s detail-oriented approach and tough mentality should suit the Giants well, considering their lack of effort and mid-game breakdowns in the past. His insistence on playing tough football for 60-minutes is exactly what Tate and the other players wanted to hear, as he will not only lead a team into battle, but he will simulate live-scenarios during practice.
For most, this is the first time the Giants will host live-tacking drills in practice, working on a safe way to mitigate injuries and develop player’s fundamentals. Judge’s style is a mesh of Bill Belichick and Nick Saban, plus a little personal splash. That’s something to be excited about.
