Giants noncommittal on kicker decision for Cowboys clash

Giants special teams coordinator, Thomas McGaughey, recently discussed the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on kickers, stating, “Once you get on the kicker train, the destination is unknown. That kicker train is dangerous.” With Graham Gano sidelined due to a season-ending knee injury, McGaughey now finds himself on that “dangerous” train, left to decide between the two kickers on the roster: Randy Bullock and Cade York, both of whom were signed when Gano went on injured reserve.

During last Sunday’s game in Las Vegas, Bullock handled kicking duties, as the more experienced option over York, a second-year player. The Giants, however, chose to go for a 2-point conversion instead of attempting any field goals, leaving both players’ future uncertain. Although McGaughey remains noncommittal about which player will kick in the upcoming game against Dallas, it’s evident that York is eager to make his mark.

McGaughey praised York, emphasizing his mechanical issues and strong potential: “We’ve got to try and make the best out of his situation, and try and get him better for the time that he’s here. He’s very talented. He has a very strong leg. He’s done some really good things in his career, and that’s why he’s here.”

Meanwhile, several key players, including quarterback Tyrod Taylor, linebacker Azeez Ojulari, and right tackle Evan Neal, are working to overcome their own injuries in hopes of returning to the lineup. All this leaves Giants fans wondering what to expect from the team’s upcoming games.

As the Giants continue to navigate a season marred by injuries, the next game against the Cowboys will surely put their resilience to the test, determining the future of the kicker situation and the team’s overall performance.
