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.

He had one last throw left in that 44-year-old wing of his. For most of the afternoon, he’d been able to fool Father Time and frighten 68,771 Seattle Seahawks fans inside Lumen Field who’d come to bury Philip Rivers and, instead, watched him push their football team to the very brink of an impossible upset.
