How Giants respond to Daniel Jones-Tommy DeVito switch critical for Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll

How Giants respond to Daniel Jones-Tommy DeVito switch critical for Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll

Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll need this to work

The New York Giants have a game on Sunday, hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 1 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium. That, though, isn’t really the big story of the week.

The real thing to keep an eye on this week is the mood of the players and what they say after the announcement that former third-string undrafted free agent Tommy DeVito will replace Daniel Jones as the team’s starting quarterback.

This is a dangerous time for GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll as they try to navigate a 2-8...

Former NFL executive would ‘put my stamp’ on Giants GM Joe Schoen, coach Brian Daboll

Former NFL executive would ‘put my stamp’ on Giants GM Joe Schoen, coach Brian Daboll

Should this decision-making duo be trusted to find the next quarterback for the Giants?

Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll have moved on from Daniel Jones. Whether they are the GM and head coach tandem that gets to pick the next New York Giants quarterback remains to be seen. One long-time NFL executive has come out strongly in favor of just that, telling the ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast he would “put my stamp” on the Schoen-Daboll duo.

“I think they’re good football people and I would tell Giants fans this — I have been around a lot of GMS, a lot of...

Gimme Him: One player Giants would steal from Buccaneers

Gimme Him: One player Giants would steal from Buccaneers

The New York Giants (2-8) will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday afternoon.

That, of course, provides those of us here at Giants Wire the opportunity to hypothetically steal from the Buccaneers’ roster in search of depth and/or talent upgrades for Big Blue for the second time this season.

In going over Tampa Bay’s roster, there doesn’t appear to be an abundance to choose from. Most of the Bucs’ top stars play positions the Giants aren’t in desperate need to improve.

Options include offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs, wide receivers Mike...

Michael Strahan makes emotional case for Tom Coughlin's HOF bid

Michael Strahan makes emotional case for Tom Coughlin's HOF bid

Once upon a time, New York Giants legend Michael Strahan considered retirement because the alternative was playing another season under hard-nosed head coach Tom Coughlin.

Strahan ultimately returned to find that Coughlin was a new man. On the advice of his late wife, Judy, the disciplinarian showed a softer side and his players responded in kind.

Coughlin was still very much an old-school head coach who demanded greatness and accountability from the men he led, but there was a personal bond that formed and a respect that was shared.

What occurred after that is a matter of history. The Giants...

Mark Schlereth on Daniel Jones benching: 'This is why the Giants suck'

Mark Schlereth on Daniel Jones benching: 'This is why the Giants suck'

The New York Giants are once again the laughingstock of the NFL and their demotion of quarterback Daniel Jones hasn’t gone over like they had hoped.

Players are angry and confused with the decision, while experts and analysts from around the league continue to criticize general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll’s handling of the situation.

In the mind of retired NFL offensive lineman and current FS1 analyst Mark Schlereth, this is just another example of a failing franchise.

Giants player blasts 'weak' demotion of Daniel Jones, calls it 'trash'

Giants player blasts 'weak' demotion of Daniel Jones, calls it 'trash'

Cracks are beginning to form in the New York Giants’ foundation and players are starting to get a little loud.

On Tuesday, it was reported that general manager Joe Schoen is not well-liked among some players in the Giants’ locker room, particularly after his handling of cornerback Nick McCloud’s release.

There have also been some eyebrow-raising social media interactions with certain players “liking” comments made by ex-Giants running back Saquon Barkley and a curious comment made by wide receiver Darius Slayton, which he attempted to explain away.

While those issues are subtle, defensive captain Dexter Lawrence was anything but when...

Giants sign OL Tyre Phillips, QB Tim Boyle to practice squad

Giants sign OL Tyre Phillips, QB Tim Boyle to practice squad

On Tuesday, the New York Giants added offensive lineman Tyre Phillips and quarterback Tim Boyle to their practice squad.

Phillips, 27, was the Baltimore Ravens’ third-round pick out of Mississippi State in 2020. He played in 22 games over two seasons in Baltimore, starting 13.

Phillips played 22 games for the Giants (starting 14) from 2022-23 with a stop on the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad sprinkled in the middle. He suffered a quad injury in Week 17 last season and was not re-signed by the Giants this offseason.

Boyle, 30, is a well-traveled backup quarterback by trade who has played...

A different kind of conversation with the Giants’ defensive tackle

Dexter Lawrence was busy helping his community by fighting hunger during his day off on Tuesday. The New York Giants star defensive tackle took a few minutes, though, to chat with Big Blue View.

We had what I think was a fun chat that didn’t focus on the season the Giants are having. I hope you enjoy it.

The obligatory Daniel Jones question

I had to ask Lawrence, the Giants best defensive player and I guy who roomed with Daniel Jones during training camp when both were rookies in...

Report: Joe Schoen 'not that popular' in Giants locker room

Report: Joe Schoen 'not that popular' in Giants locker room

If New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll are to keep their job after this season, they will need to do two things: Win some games and keep the locker room intact.

Both of those feel like a tall order at this point, especially in the aftermath of benching quarterback Daniel Jones, which upset defensive captain Dexter Lawrence.

The recent release of cornerback Nick McCloud also weakened the team on defense and special teams. Similarly, it was not received well in the locker room.

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, while speaking with our friends at Talkin’ Giants,...

Tyre Phillips rejoins the Giants

Offensive lineman Tyre Phillips is returning to the New York Giants for the third time.

Phillips, who suffered a torn quad while playing for the Giants in a Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams last season, was only recently said to be fully healthy and looking for a team.

Phillips will reportedly sign with the Giants’ practice squad after working out for the team on Tuesday.

Phillips, a 6-foot-5, 330-pound 27-year-old, can play every offensive line position except center.

A third-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2020, Phillips was signed by the...
