Giants head coach slowed down to draw similarities between Tom Brady and Tommy DeVito: “We have four games left.”
The Patriots had Brian Daboll on staff when they selected Brady with the 199th overall pick.
Even the head coach of Big Blue wants to slow down Tommy Cutlets’ rapid rise to prominence, despite the fact that he has taken the football world by storm.
Tommy DeVito once again played lights out as the G-Men defeated the Green Bay Packers 24–22 on Monday night to win their third straight game.
The undrafted rookie free agent is currently 3-1 as their starter after completing 17 of his 21 throws for 158 yards and gaining 71 yards on his 10 rushes.
DeVito entered the season as the third-string quarterback but got his opportunity following injuries to Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor. Now, 60% of the Giants’ wins have come with the Cedar Grove, New Jersey, native as the starter.
It’s not the first time that Brian Daboll has got an up-close look at a once-unknown becoming a household name. He was on the New England Patriots staff when they selected Tom Brady in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft.
A reporter reminded him of that on Tuesday morning, just hours after the Giants’ win, but Daboll wasn’t having it just yet.
Daboll answered, “We’re four games in,”
The reporter then inquired as to when Brady’s teammates began to truly trust in him; it’s clear from their Italian hand signals that the rest of the Giants had united behind DeVito.
Yet once more, Daboll downplayed everything.
That was a long time ago, according to Daboll. “Let me just say that each circumstance is unique. I doubt I could provide you with the response you want. I was unable to provide you with a tangible tale or anything similar. Although the circumstances, players, and club were different, Brady’s ascent is unquestionably well-documented.”
With a rating of above 100.0, Monday night’s victory was DeVito’s third straight. above the previous three victories, he has completed 52 of 72 passes (72.22%) for 595 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
With one game remaining, New York is desperately clinging to a postseason spot. On Sunday, they take on the New Orleans Saints, who are also 5-8.
