New York Giants news for Thursday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
What DeVito needs to prove more than anything else right now is that he can be more than a football gimmick who makes a few bucks by being famous off the field.
And make no mistake: the former Don Bosco star who has emerged as a local legend in the New York and New Jersey area within the past year wants nothing else at this point.
There is a line of thinking that goes like this: If Brian Daboll did all that with Tommy DeVito, imagine what he could do with a far more talented quarterback.
That was last season. Here we are again. Daboll tried and tried and tried some more, but it just did not work with Daniel Jones.
Seven games is a long time for Dexter Lawrence, Bobby Okereke, Darius Slayton, Brian Burns and the Giants’ players to stomach this nonsense, writes Pat Leonard.
Candidates for the coming cycle included Giants DC Shane Bowen and AHC/OC Mike Kafka. It noted for Bowen that while coaching one of the NFL’s youngest defense, he has been one of its most effective in key categories such as sacks per pass attempt and opponent red-zone TD percentage. As for Kafka, strong performance on the interview circuit—interviewing for six jobs over the past two cycles and gotten second interviews for three of them—figures to keep him in the mix
Under NFL coaches to watch in future years included Giants OLB coach Charlie Bullen, offensive passing game coordinator/QB coach Shea Tierney and safeties coach Michael Treier.
Dexter Lawrence is one of two defensive linemen (along with Cameron Heyward) who has graded above 80.0 as a run defender and pass-rusher.
