I'm happy for DeVito. It's a nice story and it's hard not to root for the kid. It reminds of Linsanity. I know it's a different sport and circumstance but it's an out of nowhere expected unknown underdog who went on a little run. But at least Linsanity happened when we had a chance at the playoffs. At 4-8 the season has been over for weeks now so truthfully this DeVito experience means very little. I have never bought into this idea that wins in a losing season are important because he builds moral or culture or there is a carry over to the next season. That's bs imo. These last 2 wins mean very little and won't be remembered (unless you're a DeVito or a huge fan of his). Wins against 2 bad teams in Weeks 11 and 12 in a losing season do not carry over to next season.
But as fans we have no control. Players do not tank. If management really wanted to tank, they would find a way to sit down Saquon and some vets on defense. Not sure where we are going to be picking in this draft and I'm by no means a college football guru but we will have a high pick and should have the opportunity to select a good player. I would have no problem selecting an OL tbh. Having that QB won't matter at all until we fix this line. And for all we know, Caleb and Maye might be busts and Bo Nix might end up being the best one. We do not know. Drafting, especially in the NFL, is a lot like playing the lottery.
The Packers and Saints are up next which are both winnable games given the quality of the opponent. It’s still a lost season, but I have to admit it’s still nice being able to watch games and rooting for player development.
Devito has to work on throwing the ball away or just getting the ball to his safety net. He’s taken 15 sacks through 2 games and most of that isn’t on the O-line
