'Coach...on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being 'I lament it every second' to 1 being 'I lament it every 8 seconds', how much do you miss having a QB like Josh Allen? Or even a semi competent QB?'

You keep saying Daniel gives you the best chance to win but the results, 0 wins in his last 6 home games, 0 TD passes and 1 TD scored overall in those games would seem to say otherwise.
What is the difference between Daniel and either of the other two QB's that you feel so confident in your statement that Daniel gives you the best chance to win?
Coach,

what real estate agent will you be listing your house with?
It doesn't matter what gets asked

You're going to get coach speak answers, regardless. The backup QBs are not answers. At best, they'd give the team a spark. But the truth is, wins aren't our friend here.

Have you thought about calling down to Oxford, MS and asking Joe Judge for the name of the pizza place he used to cater the post-firing going-away party he threw at his house?

Flott simply can't stay healthy. Henderson talked about this and how it impacts his play.

Brian Daboll says nothing is developing at this time with free agent tackle D.J. Humphries after his early week workout. They’ve gotten to know each other… Josh Ezeudu will take the first left tackle reps again at practice today. Tracking toward a 2nd straight start based on what Jon Runyan Jr. said #Giants

#Giants Kayvon Thibodeaux, on IR for at least two more games, was on the side working with trainers outside today. First time we have seen that since his surgery. Feels like a day when NYG has as many players as possible on the field regardless of status. TBD the injury report

So basically, there's more consideration for a pickup off the 49'ers practice squad than for Neal. Seriously, I should hope Neal is in consideration for a trade if there's no plans for the guy.

DL Dexter Lawrence (hip) and LB Ty Summers (ankle) weren't spotted at practice. Daboll made it sound like there won't be many mid-week practices in Lawrence's future.

CB Cor'Dale Flott (groin) and CB Adoree' Jackson (neck) were on the side with trainers. Daboll didn't sound overly optimistic about Flott's chances of playing Monday. P Jamie Gillan (hamstring) was also on the side. Daboll said he'd do some kicking today, but didn't sound like he'll be ready for Monday.

WR Jalin Hyatt (rib) and OLB Brian Burns (groin) participated in the open portion of practice.

Giants star DL Dexter Lawrence getting a rest day today, even though it'll officially be listed as a hip, which is legit just as it was last week.

As Brian Daboll said, the plan every week will be to get Dex as healthy as possible for game day going forward. Sounds smart.

Having walked out of Giants locker room Sunday with Brian Burns, it's hard for me to believe he is on the practice field today - but he is.

Would imagine Burns (groin) is a limited participant, but setting a standard with how he has gutted it out (and performed) past few weeks.

@DDuggan21
Daboll was still non-committal on the left tackle plan for Monday. He indicated Josh Ezeudu will be first up in practice with Chris Hubbard also getting reps.

Based on Daboll's answers on OT DJ Humphries' visit this week, it sounds like there's a financial divide there. The Giants only have $1M in cap space. Another restructure is coming regardless, but they may not want to meet Humphries' asking price.

Humphries is also coming back from a torn ACL in Week 17 last season, so he may not be physically ready.

Veteran OL Chris Hubbard will get reps at left tackle today, but Brian Daboll indicated Josh Ezeudu will still be first up for reps with the starters.

Especially for this week, if Ezeudu isn't the guy at LT, which is TBD, sounds like Hubbard would be next.

T.J. Watt Week not the time to move Jermaine Eluemunor off RT.

Brian Daboll was complimentary of vet LT DJ Humphries, who visited with the Giants this week.

Hearing Daboll's praise, sounds to me like Giants would be up to bring Humphries aboard if price and health matched.

Doesn't sound like we should put a pin in balloon that just yet.
So what exactly is the plan with Evan Neal?  
Chris684 : 10/24/2024 1:36 pm : link
They don't see him as a G or LT, but his history here has shown he's not a RT and they promptly signed a RT this past offseason.

Is Neal just here for the free food? Is there any level of urgency to get our 7th overall pick on the field and contributing somewhere? Anywhere?

This guy is quickly becoming one of my favorite current Giants
I would like to see Neal in for Van Roten.  
Reale01 : 10/24/2024 2:46 pm : link
Assuming Neal is healthy and there have not been any issues with his attitude, preparation, or effort. Might add a spark to the the running game.

He's hasn't taken a snap at guard. If they do this, it will be next year.

Stinnie would replace Van Roten.

#Giants100    Jones - most important thing is to win this game...the focus is on playing well ... coach told the team after the phily game that i was the starter going forward


Wait, does he mean BDs press conference or that he also addressed the team and said Jones was the starter? Because the latter doesn't sound like a great locker room situation

"Coach told the team after the Philly game that I was the starter going forward" sounds like the teacher's pet telling the class that they were left in charge while the teacher was using the bathroom....
The team has to have heard  
jvm52106 : 10/24/2024 3:15 pm : link
the fans calls etc.. Now, if the locker room was asking for Jones to be replaced then that is a bad situation.

The wonder I have is could the Giants be looking for a reverse 2022? The organization I mean, believing that we are close if we just figure out the offense.

Below:

2022:

1st 8 games 6 wins and 2 losses.

Final 9 games 3 wins 5 losses 1 tie

2024:

1st 8 games (TBD Monday) could see us roughly the same 2-6 or 3 -5.

Last 9 games:

Was (might be without Daniels)
@Car (bad , bad team)
TB (road game for them, many injuries)
@Dal (bad team, could be falling a part)
NO (tons of injuries)
Bal (bad matchup for us)
@Atl (faltering some but the better team)
Ind (very beatable)
@Phil (very beatable and on the road better for us)


Truthfully I doubt the Giants will or even can make a move/run but yet, I suspect they are still thinking that way.

With our defense playing much better than expected they are somehow hoping to gather enough together offensively to make things work.

**I will save this for our preview podcast but I think I know what we are doing (planning to do) at QB and what we might do if we beat Pittsburgh.

I'm not saying your wrong for stating this is their logic, but their logic doesn't make any sense if true.

This is the 7th overall pick and possibly the consensus top overall OL in his draft class who played at Alabama. If they can't give him some reps over the course of a few weeks and put him at G or LT then what the hell are we doing? We're not exactly pushing for the playoffs here. To me this is an indictment of Neal, the coaching staff or both.

Right or wrong, they are not practicing him at guard. Only right tackle.

If he plays, it will be at right tackle for Eluemunor.

It's not a question of talent. He missed the spring and summer. He only practiced a week or two before the season started and only at one position. Once they decided to start Eluemunor at RT, Neal's fate was sealed. I said it back in August.
