Tommy DeVito's Patriots Aim to Embarrass Giants in Monday Night Showdown
The New England Patriots are expected to host the struggling New York Giants on Monday Night Football, and Patriots quarterback Tommy DeVito is looking forward to a blowout victory. DeVito spent two seasons with the Giants, starting eight games and earning himself a devoted fan base in the tri-state area.
However, DeVito's time with the Giants was marked by disappointment, particularly after being cut from the team just before the start of the regular season. Despite his relatively modest stats, DeVito holds no grudges against his former club and is eager to see them get thrashed on Monday night.
"I loved my time there," DeVito told MassLive's Karen Guregian in a recent interview. "When I was there, it was 'Go Giants' but now it's 'Go Pats' all the way." When asked if he'd be able to provide valuable insights for the Patriots as they prepare for their game against the Giants, DeVito replied, "I hope we blow them out."
Not everyone is buying into DeVito's boast about being a game-changer for the Patriots. Head coach Mike Vrabel was skeptical when asked if DeVito could help with game planning. "The play styles of certain guys that he would understand and know β again, what the call sheet is, what it is, it's just β if you could tell me when one of those calls is coming off of the 120 that are on the call sheet, I mean, that'd be a pretty good skill," Vrabel said.
Despite DeVito's uncertain role in the Patriots' game planning process, his eagerness to see the Giants get beat on Monday night is undeniable. The Patriots will need all the help they can get with several key injuries, including starting left tackle Will Campbell, who was placed on injured reserve last week.
For the struggling Giants, a blowout loss at the hands of their old team would be a devastating blow. With the Giants' top playmakers like Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo hampered by injuries, New England will look to capitalize on their opponent's misfortunes.
