There was no time in the course of the celebration of the Giants’ newest shocking win for Daniel Bellinger to tease fellow rookie Wan’Dale Robinson.
Certain, Robinson got here again from a four-week damage absence, scored his first profession landing and made two different catches for first downs, however Bellinger upped his landing depend to a few and led the Giants in catches and receiving yards for the second time in three weeks.
If a contest develops between the second-round choose Robinson and the fourth-rounder Bellinger to see who's making a much bigger influence for the offense, normal supervisor Joe Schoen’s first draft class is in nice form.
“They drafted us for a cause,” Robinson mentioned. “To come back right here and make performs and make an influence on this workforce. We’re attempting our greatest to try this.”
A passing recreation that has been dormant for a lot of the season was energized Sunday by the 2 rookies who accounted for the 2 scores thrown by Daniel Jones within the Giants’ 24-20 comeback victory towards the Ravens at MetLife Stadium.
“I believe having Wan’Dale again actually helped,” heart Jon Feliciano mentioned. “Bellinger is coming into his personal and turning into the man they thought he was going to be once they drafted him.”
Coming back from a knee damage, Robinson shortly made his presence recognized in a receiving corps lacking Sterling Shepard, Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay with a 15-yard catch to transform a third-and-12 and a 3-yard landing catch on the second-quarter drive to tie the rating at 7-7. There wasn’t a defender inside 5 yards on any aspect of the shifty Robinson as he walked into the tip zone. David Sills ran interference over the center — virtually an unlawful choose — to free Robinson within the flat.
“It was actually onerous,” Robinson mentioned of lacking time. “I had by no means missed greater than like two weeks of soccer in a row, however I used to be glad to assist us win.”
Robinson saved the soccer from his landing to provide to his mom, who raised him when his father was imprisoned and made her first journey to New Jersey for the sport.
“That’s a second I’ve been dreaming about since I used to be 5 years previous,” Robinson mentioned. “To see all of it come to life is fairly particular. She’s actually the one which raised me since I used to be 5 years previous, with my dad not being there. It was simply me and her.”
Bellinger’s three catches for 38 yards included the 8-yard landing that lower the Giants’ deficit to 20-17 with 6:01 remaining — and his blocking at tight finish is without doubt one of the offense’s greatest upgrades from years previous. Head coach Brian Daboll — a former tight ends coach — admits he has been particularly onerous on Bellinger.
“Coach Dabes places it completely [for] guys stepping up, realizing what to do and tips on how to do it,” Bellinger mentioned. “Whether or not we're rookies or two- or three-year vets, we did job of constructing that belief.”
The belief between Robinson and Bellinger ought to enable for a bit of pleasant aggressive bragging. It hasn’t occurred but?
“No method,” Bellinger mentioned. “I’m simply supporting him.”
