Brian Baldinger rips emabttled Giants receiver Jalin Hyatt to shreds: ‘Not how you run a route’
NY Post
Brian Baldinger is rolling the tapes and taking names.
After the Giants dropped their eighth straight game Sunday — a 29-21 defeat to the Commanders at home — the former NFL guard and NFL Network analyst didn’t mince words when watching a particular play in the second quarter, taking exception to embattled wide receiver Jalin Hyatt’s execution.
With Washington leading 19-7, quarterback Jaxson Dart threw a short pass up the middle intended for Hyatt, but it was picked off by the Commanders’ Mike Sainristil, who ran for 55 yards to the Giants’ 24-yard line.
The play, which marked Dart’s fourth interception of the season, led to a Commanders’ field goal to take a 22-7 halftime lead.
“Can [quarterback] Jaxson Dart just get a little bit of help?” Baldinger said.
“Here is the corner here, Mike Sainristil. He’s normally not an outside corner. He’s a slot defender, but because of injuries, he’s playing it. Here are the Giants running a stack and Jalin Hyatt here is going to run this dig route. This box cut right here and it’s a horrible route. That’s not how you run a route. You don’t round it off. You don’t slow down. You drop your weight and you run a box cut, is what you do. You go sharp to separate from that corner.

SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
