Giants corner Adoree Jackson on the possibility of losing Wink Martindale:
“I think losing a guy like Wink would be a huge blow,” the veteran corner said. “That’s why I don’t think he’ll do it. Because if you’re gonna do something like that, I don’t know, that’d be crazy … That’s like, let’s say you were a kid and you see your parents get into it and then they get a divorce. Then you’re sitting there like, ‘Damn, what the f— is going on?’
“And that’s how I personally feel it would be — it’s not gonna happen — but if that situation was to happen, that’s how I would be: like ‘What the hell is going on? Did we do something wrong? Is it us? Is it this? Is it that?’ And it [would be] too much confusion. That’s how I view it.
“[Martindale] coaches well, but he also listens to everybody and listens to the things we may want to change throughout the week or even during the game, which I think is cool. And I feel like you can’t have somebody else coming in. It could be the same, but at the end of the day that’s like somebody saying you’re gonna have a new stepdad or a stepmom. But I want my daddy or momma. I don’t want no stepdad.”
Jackson said he sees no sign of tension and “if that’s the case, they must need to get an Oscar or something. Good a– actors.”

Here’s everything I know about the Brian Daboll-Wink Martindale situation.
Some of it stems from the offense’s struggles and the pressure it has put on the defense, the polar opposite approaches of both coaches, the Xavier McKinney situation and more.
There has definitely been tension. Didn’t know it reached the point of Jay Glazer’s report. And they seem to have genuinely kept it from reaching the players, which gives hope the relationship can be mended long term. Especially when the defense is playing at this level.
Martindale didn’t just get the game ball out of nowhere after Sunday’s win 🤔

Xavier McKinney has been Lights Out for the last few gms.. Sometimes, the *Squeaky Wheel* gets the oil. I'm glad he is more involved in the scheme, and I hope he stays a #NYGiants that INT was special.. the break on the ball after being at the Line of Scrimmage 💰
I'd love to know (and we never will) who the source within the Giants organization is that leaked this to Glazer. As others have pointed out, when Glazer usually breaks something, it's accurate.
While seemingly somewhat overblown, there does seem to be some smoke here. McKinney got the game ball last week, Wink this week. So while it seems like we shouldn't expect a Wink departure today, "complete bullshit" seems like a stretch as well.
My first thought on connecting obvious dots is that Strahan and Glazer are like brothers and Strahan has taken Thibs under his wing. Could there be a line off communication there? Not sure. I have no reason to believe Thibs would be involved, just a guess.

Except did you see KT's comments after the game?
I just skimmed the transcript but didn't see anything other than a few questions, nothing that covered this topic.
and were trying to smoke out a rat? didnt Daboll do this last year with someone?
just a thought
This is also a possibility that should be worth considering. Anyone with half a brain could see how some tension could break out when the defense is doing all it can to keep the team in games and the offense is doing little to nothing...
He said there is tension, and why wouldn't there be? The team came in with expectations and has not lived up to them. McKinney's comments were clear as day sign there was some tension out there.
But Jordan also said that he hadn't thought it had boiled to the point Glazer had made it, and I suspect there is a chance his remarks were stated a bit strongly.
I could see Daboll not being happy with the defense against the cowpukes and Wink not being happy with the offense. Hard to imagine anyone was happy with that game.
I could see Daboll saying can we make a stop and Wink saying can you score some points.

Could be.

Hopefully they can stay together.

My exact thoughts.
Wink's an old school coach in the Buddy Ryan mold. I have zero doubt there's been tension about how unbelievably bad the offense was this year.

I have no way of knowing if that is what he truly believes, but do you really think he would say something bad?
Agree. Develop Devito as much as possible.
I don't think this is coming from the players. They seem genuinely confused about all of this.
Meanwhile, Daboll basically confirmed he's not happy with Wink. Yet some think this is coming from the players? LOL
Said he will address QB in either Free Agency or Draft though.
