EAST RUTHERFORD http://www.giantsfanshop.com/Darius-Slayton-Jersey , N.J. (AP) —t week when he said the New York Giants could win their final eight games and make the playoffs.The NFL’s highest-paid receiver knew it was a long shot when he made the statement and little has changed since the Giants beat the San Francisco 49ers 27-23 on Monday night. It’s just seven games now.Still, Beckham was not backing off the idea Thursday before the Giants (2-7) practiced for Sunday’s game at MetLife Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-6).“I don’t know what makes me not believe it,” Beckham said. “That’s just the goal. Same thing I said before the season, the goal is to win a Super Bowl. It’s always going to win a Super Bowl. If you’re just here to have fun or whatever else, I don’t think you should be here. The goal is to win every game. I’m trying to win. If we play 16, I’m trying to win 16. Win the four in the playoffs, and win the Super Bowl. You never want to lose.“My mentality is going to be win these last seven games, no matter who believes it or what’s said, or anything like that,” Beckham added. “That’s going to be my goal.”Coach Pat Shurmur doesn’t mind his players talking about running the table.“I think he is just giving you his long-range approach Rhett Ellison Color Rush Jersey ,” Shurmur said. “If you ask him, he will tell you he is putting all his energy into playing Tampa. That’s the challenge. We have to stay in the moment. We have to keep the noise out, and that’s the same whether you win or lose a game.”The Giants have done a lot of losing the past 1½ seasons. They have won five of 25 games and not won two straight since December 2016.Still, the upcoming schedule is not horrible. The Giants don’t have games against any of the NFL’s dominant teams: the Rams, Chiefs, Saints, Chargers, Patriots or Steelers.Of the seven games left, Chicago (6-3), Washington (6-3) and Tennessee (5-4) have winning records. Indianapolis Olivier Vernon Color Rush Jersey , Philadelphia and Dallas are 4-5, although the Eagles and Cowboys beat the Giants this season.So there is a chance, slim as it may be.“I don’t think it’s crazy to think that way at all,” rookie running back Saquon Barkley said. “I think that’s what we all feel in this locker room, we all feel on this team. We’re more than capable of doing that, but we’re not naïve to the fact that it’s a long season and you can’t really think, oh, we got to win eight games, because that’s not the mindset. That’s what we want to do, but the mindset is taking care of every single day and every single game Odell Beckham Jr Color Rush Jersey , one day at a time.”NOTES: Running back Jonathan Stewart, who has been on injured reserve since Sept. 28 with a foot injury, has been designated for return/returned to practice. The Giants have until Dec. 6 to decide to either activate him or keep him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. He is not eligible to return to the active roster until Nov. 26. Let’s use this as a visual aid to show the various places where the roster needs help"Appearing on ‘Good Morning Football’ recently, New York Giants GM Dave Gettleman explained his approach to free agency.My theory on free agency is if you do it right it puts you in a position where you can take the best player available in the draft. You’re not in the situation where ‘I have to have a -- and then fill in the blank,” Gettleman said. “You don’t want to be there, so I think we’ve done that.”Free agency, of course, has for the most part been over for weeks now. With the 2019 NFL Draft approaching, how successful have Gettleman and the Giants actually been in limiting the number of “have to have” things they will enter the draft looking for?Let’s look at a very preliminary — and VERY unofficial — depth chart to get an idea. Please, let’s not argue over who should be where on the depth chart. All I was really trying to do is get all the names down — somewhere — so you could judge for yourself where the roster needs help and where it doesn’t.I see the main needs as defensive playmakers in the front seven B.J. Goodson Color Rush Jersey , right tackle, wide receiver, quarterback, defensive back. If you’re counting, yes, those broad categories encompass much of the roster.Also, keep in mind that there are currently only 66 players on the roster. That number will swell to 90 by training camp.Giants 2019 Depth Chart (Offense)PositionFirst TeamSecond TeamThird TeamPositionFirst TeamSecond TeamThird TeamGiants 2019 Depth Chart (Defense)POSFIRSTSECONDTHIRDPOSFIRSTSECONDTHIRDGiants 2019 Depth Chart (Special Teams)POSFIRSTSECONDTHIRDPOSFIRSTSECONDTHIRD
