New Look Passing Game Key to Giants Offense
The New York Giants wet in a different direction offensively as they released wide receiver Plaxico Burress and did not resign fellow wide receiver Amani Toomer.
That means the Giants passing game has a totally different look as the number one wide receiver is Steve Smith, while Dmenik Hixon and rookie Hakeem Nicks will battle it out for the number two spot.
Smith is the most talented of the bunch as last year he caught 57 passes for 574 yards receiing with one touchdown mostly as the number three receiver the last two years.
Hixon showed some promise after he came on for Burress after he shot himself in the leg as he caught 30 passes for376 yards receiving with one touchdown.
Nicks is the wild card of the three as he is unknown commodity as a he was drafted in the first round of this past April’s National Football League Draft.
Most wide receivers do not hit their stride until their third season as there are a lot of thing that a wide receiver must learn.
That means Smith and Hixon will be the starters with Hixon being the third wide receiver.
In the end it will be Nicks’s performance that will make or break the Giants offense.
