New York Giants news for Tuesday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
“It was something that just happened,” Eluemunor said. “It’s hard to switch sides like that. It’s not the most comfortable thing. I tell people it’s like you’ve been writing with your right hand for a long time and out of nowhere they tell you, you gotta write an essay with your left hand and it’s due on Saturday and you have three days to freaking learn how to write with your left hand.”
Mara loathes that he’s been stuck in a cycle of replacing coaches and general managers regularly. But the case for retaining Daboll and Schoen must be stronger than just not wanting to abruptly fire another regime.
It’s difficult to identify what this regime does well. Since catching lightning in a bottle with a 7-2 start to their first season, the Giants have gone 10-24-1. That’s tied for the third-most losses in the league over that stretch.
Had Mara bit his tongue shut three weeks ago, Daboll might not have survived the Germany trip. Now? He’d look like a fool to give up on the same coach he gave a vote of confidence less than a month ago (especially since it wouldn’t be his first offense).
It’s a dilemma. This is, for many reasons, the perfect week to spark the team by moving on from Daboll, but Mara probably won’t because he couldn’t help himself with another needless (and unprompted) proclamation.
“They have a quarterback who is completely hamstrung mentally,” Boomer said. “It’s paralysis by analysis by Daniel Jones. They left probably nine to 20 points on the field by colossal, boneheaded mistakes and missed opportunities...I don’t want to hear about offensive line and running back problems. It really comes down to ‘Does the quarterback have the balls to stand in there and make the plays?’”
So many of them are complicit for transgressions...
