Another special teams gaffe?

Tom in NY : 11/19/2023 9:37 pm
Per the radio broadcast today, the Giants had 9 men on the field for one of Washington's FG attempts.
Was brought up by Papa, confirmed by Howard Cross (on the sidelines).
This is at least the 3rd time this season they have not had 11 on the field for a ST play.

9...not 11. How is this possible in the NFL?....for the 3rd time?
better than 12

McGaughey and staff can’t count.
Giants need one of them attendance counters where STers pass by a sound goes off at 11, a different sound goes off any more than that.
Banks pointed out that every week there is some ST screw-up

O line coaches must be replaced by actual pros.

Yeah, at this point I don't see what they're defense to stay would be.
Anyone think they have earned another year?
It's McGaughey changing the look. Trying to confuse them. He s

special teams Wink. Seriously enough is enough. I can't even stand to read his interviews. No excuse for this.

that is on the ST players not knowing their assignments. This sometimes happens with in game injuries and the backups forgetting that they are supposed to be on the field for an injured player.

BUT! - time for McGaughey to be replaced. Continual missed assignments is on coaching.

Also, after a few weeks of Gillan getting the ball off quicker, he was so slow yesterday he had one partially blocked by a lone rusher. Probably could use a new punter, too.
Idk if a team can change every coordinator

But special teams and offensive line are a complete joke this season. They HAVE to go. There’s no choice.

Sounds crazy but McGaughey was better when he was undergoing treatment and Tom Quinn was filling in as his assistant.

has been "tanking" since game 1.
I am also surprised that opposing teams

haven't seen it, and have an audible to run a fake if they are short players.

One would assume that it is easy to run a fake against 9.

It has been a few years since we have had a decent special teams. He needs to be fired. I would start with firing McGaughey and Johnson during the bye week.
