Don't think I saw this specific quote posted, but WTF is this answer? I know this has been talked about in a few threads (Banks' lack of effort on Hurts' 16 yard gain on 3rd and 7), but this just blows my mind. Should have been benched right there and then, but after this I'd definitely sit his ass against PGH for at least the first half.
“I think I could have made it, but sometimes when you’re in that moment, you just think like, ‘Nah,’” Banks said. “But I think I could’ve made a tackle.” |

Just fire Daboll already.
When decisions are made that aren't in the interest of winning - it should mean that everyone is on notice.
BUT that isn't how JINTS central rolls.
Couldn’t agree more. Not excusing the behavior but I’m not surprised by it.

If the people at the top aren't doing everything they can to win, why would anyone else?

Agree with this. You can't watch your team owner and coach defend a terrible player at the expense of everyone else on the team, and then expect maximum effort from those guys.
What Banks did is crap. But it is a symptom of the culture that has been built by Mara, Schoen and Daboll.

I can only imagine what some of the guys in the locker room think about continuing to roll with Jones.
2. I'm putting the over/under at 6 p.m. as the time last night when Parcells would have cut this joke of a player.

One knucklehead made a 'business decision' and you've decided an entire coaching staff and front office needs to go? If they turn into the 2003 Giants down the stretch (most players mailing it in) then you have a point, otherwise this is a gross over reaction.
You can't teach grit, fight and integrity, it is there or it isnt!
Whether Banks has the passion, the love, the grit, etc. he's getting paid to make plays. That's why he should make them.
I don't know what the CBA allows teams in terms of fining players for effort, but Banks needs to be benched for sure.
The Daniel Jones virus is spreading.
You want to reward him?

If the Giants had any pride they'd trade him to send a message to the rest of the team.

Lol
They are getting paid. Players are auditioning for roster spots. Everything is on film. Losing the locker room this early is fans showing frustration.
He meant in the moment he didn’t think he was in position to make the tackle but when watching the replay he feels like he actually could’ve made it. Banks wasn’t saying that he could’ve but chose not to. He was saying he could’ve but didn’t realize it in that moment.
Now… I’m not saying he was justified. He needs to keep that motor running until the whistle blows regardless of the outcome he predicts. I believe that is the private conversation that Dabs had with him.
But damn! Y’all taking that comment way out of context
