Good morning, New York Giants fans!
On ‘The Adam Schefter Podcast’ released Tuesday, Schefter was bullish on the Giants despite the disappointing loss.
“I got to tell you something, they would be a player for the playoff race,” Schefter said. “At 2-5, they still might be able to do it. These guys have enough swag with these rookies, Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo, that they could make a playoff push. But now we’re going to remember this as one of the great gag jobs in NFL history and who’s going to be held accountable for it over time. It’s just a very disappointing loss for a team that I think is on the fringes of being really good. By the way, they’re doing it without Malik Nabers, who I would say is probably their best player. Can you imagine this team with Malik Nabers? Wow.”
Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio offered high praise for the Giants’ new field general ahead of their Week 8 rematch in Philadelphia on Sunday.
“One lesson is learned and the teams that need quarterbacks that bypass them, they’re going to regret that. Obviously very athletic, an elite scrambler,” Fangio told reporters on Tuesday. “I think their coaches have done a great job with him. They’ve developed the offense around him, throws the ball very well, intermediate and deep, and he’s a good player.”
On Tuesday, NFL executive vice president Jeff Miller said at a press conference that the investigation is ongoing and that they try to work with the NFLPA to “expedite” the process. Miller did not say when he thought the investigation would conclude, but that he feels it is “making progress.”
“I think we’ll let the investigation play out before we reach all the conclusions that are important,” Miller said, via Tom Rock of Newsday. “And when we do, as we’ve always been when we have looked at these with the players association, we’ll share our findings.”
