Giants head coach Brian Daboll mentioned he’s not contemplating any modifications to his teaching workers, coordinators or play callers within the wake of Sunday’s traditionally embarrassing 33-32 loss to the Broncos in Denver.
“No, I’m not considering that,” Daboll mentioned on a Zoom interview Monday afternoon. “But we all gotta do a better job. It starts with me. And there [were] plenty of opportunities to finish that game the way we wanted to, and we didn’t get the job done.”
Which means second-year defensive coordinator Shane Bowen is staying on after the Broncos’ 33-point fourth quarter in Sunday’s Giants choke job at Empower Discipline at Mile Excessive.
The Giants are twenty third within the NFL in scoring protection, permitting 25.3 factors per sport, and 18th in scoring offense, averaging 21.9 factors per sport.
Daboll may be ready till the tip of the season to make a change there, or he could not have the remaining capital within the constructing to make such a change — given what number of coordinators and assistant coaches have left or misplaced jobs already on this workers the previous 4 years.
Daboll is also in control of managing the workforce and these sport conditions. So the Giants’ behavior of blowing video games is on him and Joe Schoen, the leaders of this operation, earlier than it’s on anybody else.
They’ve misplaced 16 of their final 19 video games, and so they’ve misplaced 9 consecutive street video games.
That’s tied for the second-longest street drought in franchise historical past. The membership report is 10 straight street losses from 1978-79.
They’ll match that and make extra historical past in the event that they fall Sunday of their rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles (5-2).
The gamers bear accountability, too. Nook Dru Phillips had a dreadful fourth quarter in Denver. Security Tyler Nubin made an inexplicable misinterpret on the Broncos’ deep completion to midfield on the ultimate drive.
And Dexter Lawrence (one assisted sort out, one quarterback hit, one go defended) and Kayvon Thibodeaux (one assisted sort out, one offsides penalty) are examples of some huge names who might have finished much more to influence Sunday’s consequence.
Daboll, in the meantime, offered no actual solutions for something on Monday. He stored nearly all of his solutions common and unhelpful.
When requested about his gamers’ apparent frustrations with the protection dropping eight into protection on the deep late completion to Marvin Mims Jr., Daboll punted any perception.
“Yeah, look, there’s plenty of plays that we had opportunities to make throughout I’d say the fourth quarter, and we just came up short,” Daboll mentioned. “So it’s not about one play. It’s not about one player. It’s not about one specific side. And I can do a better job.”
Daboll additionally refused to even acknowledge the component of clock administration that performed in to dropping the sport.
Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka referred to as a go play on third down as a substitute of working the ball and making an attempt to power the Broncos to make use of their remaining timeout.
The pinnacle coach wouldn’t focus on any element of why that was a good move regarding the clock. His finest rationalization was that they threw the ball in an analogous state of affairs and transformed in opposition to the Chargers in a win 4 weeks in the past.
“I thought the play call that Mike [Kafka] called was a good play call, and I thought it was an aggressive call to make a play against the right coverage we anticipated to get,” the coach mentioned. “And credit to Denver they made a play.”
Daboll made reference to some gamers being damage emotionally and others being damage bodily after the loss to Denver. However then he mentioned he had no replace on gamers like edge rusher Brian Burns (proper foot), security Jevon Holland (knee), nook Paulson Adebo (knee) and rookie Abdul Carter, who obtained banged up within the second half however completed the sport.
The coach capped it off by offering no replace on what he’ll do about Jude McAtamney and a kicking state of affairs that value the Giants one more sport.
“We’ll see where that goes here throughout the week,” he mentioned.
In Daboll’s thoughts, clearly, the earlier everybody turns their consideration to the Eagles sport and away from that Denver horror present, the higher will probably be.
Giants followers gained’t neglect that loss anytime quickly, although. They acknowledge one thing is rotten in East Rutherford, N.J.
It’s attainable the rematch with the Eagles will expose that when and for all.
