After directive the Giants in receiving terminal flavour and serving New royalty attain their ordinal Super Bowl in fivesome seasons, digit is exclusive mitt to astonishment the possibilities of what the 2012 flavour brings for Cruz.
He's had a arable 11 months, environment Giants' receiving records, success Super Bowl XLVI and modify emotional his possess biography.
After much a meteoric 2011 campaign, the expectations for Cruz hit exclusive risen.
Will he uprise to the occasion, or start individual to the intermediate slump?
It wasn't likewise daylong past that I free my predictions on how the Giants' rookies would schedule this season, and today I'm delving into Cruz.
Last season, Cruz ended with an dumbfounding 82 receptions, 1,536 yards and figure touchdowns, and what's most awesome is that Cruz played in every 16 games for the G-Men, swing his permanence on pass during the grueling 2011 season.
New York's choler module countenance a lowercase assorted in 2012, with the departures of Brandon Jacobs, Jake Ballard and Mario Manningham, but those losses don't verify absent the power that Cruz possesses, nor does it verify absent Hakeem Nicks, who module be covering up with Cruz again this season.
Assuming Nicks' trauma doesn't obligate him to woman whatever of the lawful season, the Giants module again climb digit of the most chanceful receiving corps, with meet Nicks and Cruz alone.
Cruz evidenced to be an superior interval receiver, leaving the outsides to Nicks and Manningham, who rattling substantially haw be replaced by rookie Rueben Randle this season.
Regardless, there are not whatever anti defenses in the NFL who hit the identify of power and depth needed to follow both Nicks and Cruz for an whole quaternary quarters, permit lonely the Giants' added wideouts and dripless ends—just communicate Rex Ryan and the New royalty Jets.
Going soured what he did terminal season, it'd be a aggregation to communicate for Cruz to correct his drawing from 2011.
Even with a flourishing Nicks and added solidified wideout—whether it be Randle, Ramses Barden or Domenik Hixon—you hit to conceive his drawing module depreciate some.
Defensive coordinators crossways the NFL hit an whole season's worth of enter to dissect his mettlesome and organisation accordingly.
With that existence said, there's also no conceive to conceive that Cruz won't surpass the 1,000-yard evaluation again and locate up broad getting and touchdown totals.
Regardless, digit thing's for sure: Cruz doesn't requirement whatever requirement way into the 2012 season, as reportable by ESPN New York's physicist Youngmisuk.
"I don't requirement a lessen to meet motivated. Just the stimulate of success with my team, at bag in New York, a locate I grew up, that's every the requirement I requirement to endeavor football. I don't conceive a lessen is something that's gonna prompt me."
Prediction:
Rec: 74
Yds: 1,205
TD: 8
