The Kenny Golladay situation is weird, and not just for people on the outside.
Golladay is in Year 2 of a four-year, $72 million contract, but has seen his playing time plummet for reasons that aren't fully clear. With Golladay playing sparingly, it was David Sills who saw an uptick in volume.
Someone having a large contract obviously doesn't guarantee playing time, but it certainly makes it curious when they’re seeing limited action. Golladay played 46 snaps but only got two targets in Week 1, then played just two snaps in Sunday’s win over the Panthers.
During his weekly appearance on “Tiki & Tierney”, Giants safety Julian Love shared his thoughts on the debacle.
“It’s a tough situation. (Brian Daboll), as soon as he got into the building he said that we’ll operate on a week-to-week basis – kind of like what can you bring to the table each week?" Love said. "In terms of roles, I was lining up at linebacker most of this week, so our inside linebackers their snap counts went down significantly. Nothing went wrong, it’s just how it goes. That’s how it is on the offense too, they saw something in Sills, he had some good plays in the game. It’ll fluctuate, so we’ll see how this week goes in terms of Kenny.
“But he’s locked in. He’s ready. His locker is right next to mine in the locker room. He just goes about his work, he’s in early, he’s there late just like the rest of us. We’ll see how that changes. It’s definitely a weird situation, but (Daboll) sticks to his word and he’s looking for the best matchups and best opportunities come Sunday.”
We’ll see if Golladay is involved more in Week 3 when the Giants host the Cowboys on Monday Night Football.
