The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny on Isaiah Likely

Likely's 8 targets in Week 1 masked his incomplete skill set; Week 2 exposed role limitations.

Likely had 8 catches on 8 targets in Week 1 against Dallas' weak linebacker group, but in Week 2 against the Rams, his limitations became apparent. Mina Kimes characterized him as an 'incomplete player' without three-down impact; he was forced into short-yardage and goal-line situations where he doesn't belong (pinning Aaron Donald on a goal-line play), creating tendency problems for the Giants offense. Unlike Terrence Ferguson, who blocks and catches to enable diverse offensive schemes, Likely's narrow skill set limits the Giants' offensive flexibility.
