New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll stood earlier than the media after his staff simply dropped their tenth straight recreation on Sunday afternoon showing like a person going through a firing squad.
Though he wasn’t provided a cigarette, Daboll was requested the identical drained questions on his floundering staff, which is barely recognizable to the one he began the season with due to accidents.
“It’s simply not ok,” Daboll informed reporters after the Giants had been trounced by the Atlanta Falcons, 34-7.
Daboll is out of solutions. He was out of solutions weeks in the past. Now, he simply seems like a military discipline officer ready to be relieved of his command. He nonetheless, nonetheless, believes his voice is considerably being heard by the gamers within the locker room.
“I believe we’ve received a number of good rivals within the room. It’s robust if you lose,” he mentioned.
True. Daboll’s hand has been diminished tremendously because the season has unfolded. He’s doing his finest to carry issues collectively. Nothing he’s carried out has labored up to now and it seems like nothing a lot will at this level.
The Giants had as many as 21 names on the damage report final week heading into the sport. They’re lacking all of their captains besides particular groups lengthy snapper Casey Kreiter.
They’re being led by first-year veteran free agent provides, follow squad elevations, gamers on one-year contracts, and first- and second-year gamers nonetheless making an attempt to determine the NFL out.
On Monday, the morning staff at WFAN appeared to really feel sorry for Daboll and the members of the media who must confront him day by day.
“He seems like a crushed man now,” Jerry Recco mentioned. “That may be a robust spot too, to be a reporter. These questions, it sucks asking these questions.”
Recco then went by the painful means of watching a staff making an attempt to shut out a season that may’t be over quickly sufficient.
“They haven’t any quarterback and they’re past banged up. If John Mara fires Joe Schoen or Brian Daboll, or one or the opposite, I perceive. However you need the No. 1 choose at this level and the season has lengthy been over,” he mentioned.
“What would you like them to do? That is such a horrible spot to be in.
“This has collapsed past something to the purpose the place I assumed it may collapse to. It’s only a mess.”
The Giants at the moment are 17-31-1 underneath Daboll. Three seasons in the past, he was the NFL Coach of the 12 months. That looks like mild years away from the place he’s now.
