I’m just throwing this idea out there, but could Jared Lorenzen be the Giants’ next season savior?
Think about it. When Phil Simms went down in 1990 against the Bills with a season-ending injury we all thought it was over. I was in third grade and I remember my dad and grandfather coming home from the game as if they’d just been to a funeral. Season over, Phil Simms is out.
About a month later I spilled sour cream dip all over the rug after Scott Norwood missed wide right to give us the Super Bowl. What’s the common link here? Sour cream. No, it’s that the underdog has always got a chance.
Does anyone remember who took us to the Super Bowl? Through Chicago and San Francisco? I’ll give you a hint – his last name rhymes with Motletler. Yes, I’m talking about good old #15 Jeff Hostetler.
We don’t even know if Lorenzen is going to be the starter Sunday, but wouldn’t it be something if he came in and got the job done. Granted we’re missing a workhouse running back in O.J. Anderson, and one of the best Giants’ defenses of all time, but you see where I’m coming from, right?
I’ve spent all week listening to naysayers give me agita about how the Giants season is already over. My point is this – there are so many things (including the emergence of a backup – ie – Derrick Ward or Lorenzen) that could help us out. Don’t give up yet.
Giants by a field goal this weekend.
