Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Antonio Pierce (former Las Vegas Raiders head coach and CBS analyst). He has not called plays at the NFL level, but with Pierce as the Raiders’ head coach, they still used a lot of zone, but they also blitzed 29.9% of the time. He would also be a good motivator. This is what he said about his mindset as a Giants player: “We don’t apologize for how we play. Nobody is going to apologize if they whoop our (expletive), so we press on the gas, and we don’t apologize for anything. We smoke our (expletive) and talk our (expletive).”
Others mentioned included Wade Phillips (San Antonio Brahmas), John Egorugwu (Giants inside linebackers coach), Andre Patterson (Giants defensive line coach) and Marquand Manuel (Giants secondary coach and passing game coordinator).
📈 Exciting Giants games. New York led 26-8 with under six minutes remaining, but Denver’s 33-point fourth quarter broke a longstanding streak. While explaining the disastrous loss, Dan Duggan pointed out a 🤯 stat:
“There had been 1,602 consecutive wins by teams leading by 18 points with six minutes remaining, according to the CBS broadcast.”
The question, then, is how to proceed with Dart’s development after 2026. Daboll is the one who banged the table for the Giants to draft Dart in the first place and then start him in Week 4 at 0-3. So he would make the argument that he deserves to continue to develop the QB.
On the flip side, Dart would be better off playing for a coach and a team that has a better understanding of how to manage a roster and games, that drafts better and that puts players in better positions to succeed.
All of that is to say Dart’s future looks bright, but as long as he plays for this version of the Giants, he’ll be subjected to gutting losses — to a lot of losses.
