GIANTS REMEMBER JOAN TISCHJoan H. Tisch, one of the first ladies of the Giants and the matri-arch of the family that owns 50 percent of the franchise, passed away on November 2, 2017 after a brief illness. She was 90.

Mrs. Tisch was the widow of Preston Robert “Bob” Tisch, who purchased a 50 percent share of the Giants in 1991. Bob Tisch, who was one of the nation’s most influential businessmen and a civic leader in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area for decades, passed away on Nov. 15, 2005, just three weeks after co-owner Wellington Mara died.

Bob and Joan Tisch have three children – Steve (the Giants’ chairman and executive vice president), Laurie (member of Giants’ board of directors) and Jonathan (the Giants’ treasurer) – as well as 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

From the time the Tisches joined the Mara family as owners of the team, Wellington’s wife Ann and Joan Tisch were the franchise’s first ladies. Ann Mara passed away on Feb. 1, 2015.

Mrs. Tisch was one of New York City’s foremost philanthropists. She served as a Trustee of the Museum of Modern Art and was on the Board of Directors of Citymeals-on-Wheels. She played a significant role at the famed 92nd Street Y in Manhattan, where she was the co-chair of the Tisch Center for the Arts, which the Y named in her family’s honor. Her family also endowed the Tisch Galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan. Mrs. Tisch was one of the pioneers in the fight against AIDS with her early support of the Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC), where she served as Honorary Chair of the President’s Council. Bob and Joan Tisch were responsible for the creation of the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University Medical School. Joan Tisch was Co-President and a Director of the Tisch Foundation, Inc., which contributes to a wide variety of charitable endeavors.

In 2008, Mrs. Tisch and Mrs. Mara were honored together at the Champions for Children Gala, an annual fundraiser in New York to benefit Tom Coughlin’s Jay Fund Foundation.

“It is an honor to salute a woman whose name is synonymous with vision, leadership and philanthropy to benefit New York and beyond,” Coughlin said in his speech that night. “Joan Tisch is a legend. Joan, in her efforts and those combined with her wonderful husband Bob, whom we all miss dearly, and so many others have helped to nurture and provide educational resources for children from the earliest years at the 92nd Street Y through college years at NYU. Joan has been an inspirational advocate for health care, including pioneer efforts to provide services to those with AIDS and helping children and adults with cancer in New York City and across the nation. Joan’s distinguished tradition of supporting cultural resources and the arts have fine organizations like MoMA and the Met and others too numerous to mention benefit children’s spirits and imaginations. Joan, by your many good works and stellar examples, you have inspired your children and many others to share in your passion for philanthropy and generous giving spirit to benefit those in need. Joan, your acceptance of this award brings greater meaning to tonight’s event and lends greater significance to the award for future recipients. Please accept it with our thanks and in tribute for all you do to make life better for so many.”

Joan Hyman Tisch was born in New York City on July 14, 1927. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 1948, the same year she married Bob Tisch, whom she had met on the Ann Arbor campus. They were married for 57 years.

In Mrs. Tisch’s honor, the team is wearing a ‘JHT’ jersey patch this season.

“Joan Tisch was a great lady who led an extraordi-nary life that touched so many people. She was an outstanding role model for her wonderful family and for all of us who knew her. We will miss her dearly.”- John Mara

BIG BLUE HONORS Y.A. TITTLEY.A. Tittle, who spent the final four seasons of his 15-year Hall of Fame career with the Giants, passed away on October 9, 2017 at the age of 90.

Tittle led the Giants to three consecutive NFL Championship Games (1961-63), and still holds three franchise records he set more than five decades ago: most touchdown passes in a season (36 in 1963), most touchdown passes in a game (seven vs. Washington on Oct. 28, 1962), and most consecutive games with a touchdown pass (15 from 1962-64).

Tittle was selected the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1963. Lawrence Taylor (1986) is the only other Giants player to be so honored. In 2010, Tittle was in the original class of 30 players, coaches, executives and owners inducted into the Giants’ Ring of Honor. Tittle’s No. 14 jersey was retired in 1965. He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall in 1971.

“Y.A. was one of the finest men I have ever known,” said Giants president and chief executive officer John Mara, whose late father, Wellington, was a close friend of Tittle’s. “He was a Hall of Fame quarterback and a Hall of Fame person. He brought our team to new heights in the early 1960’s, and left an indelible mark on our franchise.”

To honor Tittle, the Giants will wear the number 14 on their helmet for the rest of the season.

Tittle (left) was 34 when he came to the Giants in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers for guard Lou Cordileone on Aug. 18, 1961. In four seasons with the Giants, Tittle played in 54 regu-lar-season games and completed 731 of 1,308 passes (55.9%) for 10,439 yards and 96 touchdowns.

In 2016, the NFL launched the ‘My Cause, My Cleats’ campaign. The campaign, which for the first time gave NFL players the chance to showcase the causes that are important to them, allows players to wear customized cleats highlighting their selected cause. The initiative, a culmination of 18 months of collaborative work between the NFL and players across the league, also includes an online storytelling platform in partnership with The Players’ Tribune. In addition, players have the opportunity to raise funds for the cause of their choosing by auctioning their cleats off at NFL Auction, where the NFL is donating all funds to charities selected by players. The campaign has raised more than $65,000 for players’ causes, with more cleats being auctioned every week.

MY CAUSE MY CLEATS

During Week 13 when the Giants take on the Raiders in Oakland, a number of Giants players will wear customized cleats supporting a cause of their choice. The cleats will support various causes and raise awareness for a number of initiatives. The cleats below highlight last year’s causes, many of which are the same this season.

“I love being involved with kids and Play 60 is a health and wellness program that directly impacts young students to build a healthy lifestyle. Health is very important so I find it vital to encourage kids to get active at school through recess and other fun games.”

2017 COACHES CAPSULE

BEN McADOOHEAD COACHBen McAdoo had one of the most successful debut seasons by a head coach in Giants history in 2016.

McAdoo, hired as the 17th head coach of the franchise on Jan. 14, 2016, led the team to an 11-5 record and its first postseason berth since 2011. He was the NFL’s first rookie head coach to win at least 11 games since Chuck Pagano was 11-5 with the Indianapolis Colts in 2012.

McAdoo tied Dan Reeves (1993) for the most victories by a Giants head coach in his first season with the team. McAdoo was the fourth coach with double-digit victories in his initial Giants season:

McAdoo is the fourth coach in franchise history to lead the team to the playoffs in his first season, joining Allie Sherman (1961), Reeves (1993) and Fassel (1997).

When the Giants defeated Dallas, 20-19, on Sept. 11 and New Orleans, 16-13, the following week, McAdoo joined Reeves (1993) and Joe Alexander (1926) as the only head coaches to win their first two games as Giants head coach.

The Giants finished 11-5 and in second place in the NFC East after finishing 6-10 and in third place in both 2014 and 2015. The five-game improvement in victories was their biggest since 2005, when they were also 11-5 one year after finishing 6-10.

McAdoo led the Giants to a 7-1 record at home, their best mark in the seven-year history of MetLife Stadium (previous best: 6-2 in 2012) and their best home record since they were 7-1 in Giants Stadium in 2008. The Giants won their last six home games, their longest such streak since they won their first six games at home in 2008.

The Giants were 4-4 on the road, their best record as visitors since 2011, when they were 5-3. They were 3-5 on the road in each of the previous four seasons.

The Giants finished 4-2 in NFC East games, their best record within the division since they were 4-2 in 2013. They twice defeated the Dallas Cowboys, the only team to finish ahead of them in the division standings. The Giants’ 2-1 record in division road games was their best since they were 2-1 in 2013.

McAdoo was the team’s offensive coordinator in 2014-15, when the Giants’ offense was one of the most productive in the NFL. When he joined the franchise prior to the 2014 season, McAdoo took command of an offense that had finished 28th in the NFL the previous season. In 2013, the Giants averaged 307.5 yards per game, 83.3 rushing and 224.3 passing. They scored 294 points.

In two seasons with McAdoo formulating game plans and calling the plays, the Giants’ offense ranked 10th and eighth, respectively, in the NFL. They averaged 367.2 and 372.3 total yards, 100.2 and 100.6 rushing yards, and 267.0 and 271.7 passing yards. The Giants’ passing yardage total was the seventh-highest in the NFL in both 2013 and 2014. Their point totals were 380 in 2014 and 420 in the 2015 season.

The Giants scored at least 24 points in each of their final six games of the 2014 season and the 2015 season opener, their longest such streak since

they scored 24 or more points in eight consecutive games from Sept. 29-Nov. 17, 1963.

The Giants’ 420 points in 2015 was the fifth-highest total in franchise history, and their 5,952 net yards was the third-highest total. The 2015 Giants set franchise records for pass attempts (623, the old record was 616 in 2003) and completions (392, the old record was 383 in 2014). Their completion percentage of 62.9 was tied for the second-highest in team history; the record of 63.1 was set in 2014, McAdoo’s first season with the team.

In 2015, the Giants totaled 4,347 net passing yards, the second-highest total in franchise history. The record of 4,734 was set in 2011. The Giants threw 36 touchdown passes in 2015 (35 by Eli Manning), the second-highest total in franchise history; the 1963 Giants threw 39 touchdown passes.

Last season, McAdoo continued his play-calling role as head coach. With Eli Manning throwing every pass, the Giants had 598 attempts (the fifth-highest total in franchise history) and 377 completions (third-highest total). The Giants’ completion percentage of 63.0 was the second highest in franchise history, just behind the record of 63.1 set in 2014 and just ahead of the 62.9 rate in 2015.

The Giants allowed 22 sacks – five fewer than in 2015 – the third-low-est total in the league after Oakland (18) and Pittsburgh (21).

Manning, a two-time Super Bowl MVP, has had three of the finest seasons of his career under McAdoo.

In 2013, the season prior to McAdoo’s arrival, Manning completed 58.5 percent of his passes and threw for 3,818 yards, 18 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. Manning’s three-year averages under McAdoo are a 62.9 completion percentage, 4,290 yards, 30 touchdown passes and 14.7 interceptions. Manning’s 35 touchdown passes in 2015 are a career high and just one shy of the franchise record set by Pro Football Hall of Famer Y.A., Tittle in 1963. In 2016, Manning exceeded 4,000 passing yards for the third consecutive season and the sixth time in his career.

Before joining the Giants, McAdoo – who will be 40 when the 2017 season opens - spent eight years as an assistant coach with the Green Bay Packers, the first six as the team’s tight ends coach and the final two as the quarterbacks coach.

During his tenure in Green Bay, the Packers earned six playoff berths, won four NFC North titles and defeated Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV.

He began mentoring the Packers’ quarterbacks in 2012, one year after Aaron Rodgers was selected the NFL’s Most Valuable Player. Rodgers continued to excel under McAdoo’s direction. He was voted the NFC Pro Bowl starter after completing 371 of 552 attempts for 4,295 yards and 39 touchdowns against only 8 interceptions, and leading the league in passer rating for the second consecutive season (108.0).

In 2013, Rodgers missed seven games with a fractured collarbone and McAdoo was forced to prepare three other players to start at quarterback (Seneca Wallace, Scott Tolzien and Matt Flynn). Even with the frequently changing cast at the quarterback position, Green Bay won the NFC North championship with an 8-7-1 record. The Packers’ offense finished the season ranked third in the NFL (400.3 yards a

game) and, despite missing Rodgers for almost half the season, sixth in passing yards (266.8). When he did play, Rodgers was outstanding, completing 66.6 percent of his passes, throwing for 17 touchdowns against only 8 interceptions and finishing with a passer rating of 104.9.

In McAdoo’s final season as the Packers’ tight ends coach in 2011, he helped then fourth-year pro Jermichael Finley return to the field following a season-ending knee injury suffered the previous year. Finley was named a Pro Bowl alternate after playing in all 16 games for the first time and setting new career highs with 767 yards and 8 touchdowns, while matching his previous career best with 55 catches. He was the first tight end in Green Bay history with two 55-catch seasons. McAdoo also helped develop second-year tight ends Tom Crabtree and Andrew Quarless.

In 2010, the Packers won the Super Bowl as the NFC’s sixth seed with significant contributions from McAdoo’s tight ends. Finley got off to a torrid start, posting 21 catches for 301 yards and a touchdown in the opening four games. That included back-to-back 100-yard receiving performances as Finley joined Paul Coffman (1979) as the only tight ends in Packers history to accomplish that feat.

After Finley sustained his knee injury on the opening series at Washington in Week 5, Quarless, then a rookie, and Crabtree, a first-year pro, moved into more significant roles under McAdoo’s guidance. Quarless went on to catch 21 passes for 238 yards, the best marks by a Green Bay rookie tight end in each category since Bubba Franks (34-363) in 2000. Quarless’ 62 receiving yards at Detroit in Week 14 were the most by a Packers rookie tight end since Ron Kramer had 68 at Detroit on Nov. 28, 1957.

In 2009, McAdoo oversaw one of the most productive seasons by the tight ends in team history. With the emergence of young players Finley and Spencer Havner, along with veteran Donald Lee, Green Bay’s tight ends posted a collective 99 receptions for 1,048 yards, franchise records in both categories.

Finley (55 receptions) and Lee (37) became the first tight-end duo in franchise history to each post 35-plus receptions in the same season, and they were one of only two tandems in the league to do so in 2009, along with New Orleans’ Jeremy Shockey and David Thomas. With Finley (5 scores) and Havner (4), the Packers were the only team in the NFL to have two tight ends catch at least 4 touchdown receptions apiece.

Finley was a third-round draft choice in 2008 and McAdoo helped him learn the pro game as a rookie, when the first-year pro posted 3 recep-tions for 64 yards and his first NFL touchdown in the final two games.

In 2007, it was former backup Lee who had a breakout year after moving into the starting role. Lee tallied career highs with 48 catches for 575 yards and 6 touchdowns. In 2008-09, he became the first Packers

tight end since Coffman (1981-83) to catch at least 35 passes in three consecutive seasons.

Upon arriving in Green Bay in 2006, McAdoo helped the Packers’ tight ends adapt successfully to additional blocking and pass-protection duties they had not been assigned previously. The added assistance helped a young offensive line, which at times had as many as three rookie starters, allow only 24 sacks all season.

Originally named to the tight ends post on Jan. 17, 2006, McAdoo replaced Joe Philbin, who became the team’s offensive line coach after Mike McCarthy was introduced as head coach. McAdoo worked for McCarthy at each of his previous NFL spots.

McAdoo came to Green Bay from the San Francisco 49ers, where he served as assistant offensive line/quality control coach in 2005. In that role, he assisted the offensive line and tight ends.

Prior to joining the 49ers, he had a brief stint at Stanford University as tackles and tight ends coach. He resigned after the 2005 recruiting season to take the 49ers position and reunite with McCarthy, then the San Francisco offensive coordinator with whom he worked in New Orleans the previous season.

McAdoo entered the NFL in 2004 with the New Orleans Saints as an offensive assistant/quality control coach. He worked directly with McCarthy and assisted the offensive line and tight ends.

Prior to working in the NFL, McAdoo spent 2003 as an offensive assistant at the University of Pittsburgh, helping the Panthers earn a trip to the Continental Tire Bowl after an 8-5 season. At season’s end, the University of Akron hired him as an assistant coach, but he stayed only through the 2004 recruiting period before joining the Saints staff.

Earlier, he served as offensive line/tight ends coach at Fairfield (Conn.) University in 2002. After that campaign, the head coach left the team and McAdoo was appointed assistant head coach before the program was disbanded.

McAdoo began his college coaching career at Michigan State University (2001) as a special teams/offensive assistant on the heels of coaching four years at the high school level. McAdoo spent two years in the Homer Center school district in southwestern Pennsylvania and two years in the Indiana (Pa.) area.

McAdoo attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) and earned a degree in health and physical education. Later, he received his master’s degree in kinesiology from Michigan State.

McAdoo is married to Toni, a fellow native of Homer City, Pa. They have a daughter, Larkin, and a son, BJ.

FRANK CIGNETTI, JR.QUARTERBACKSFrank Cignetti is in his second season as the Giants’ quarterbacks coach, his 10th season in the NFL, and his 29th year in coaching.

Manning completed 377 of 598 passes (63.0 percent) for 4,017 yards, 26 touchdowns, 16 interceptions, and a passer rating of 86.0. He exceeded 4,000 passing yards for the third consecutive season, and the sixth time in his career. Manning’s 63.0 completion

percentage was slightly less than his career-best of 63.1, set in 2014.

KEVIN M. GILBRIDETIGHT ENDS

Kevin M. Gilbride is in his fourth season as the Giants’ tight ends coach and his eighth as a member of the team’s coaching staff. Gilbride has demonstrated an ability to develop players who were selected late in the NFL Draft, or signed as undrafted free agents. In 2016, Will Tye, a second-year undrafted pro from Stony Brook, emerged as the Giants’ most consistent tight end. He played in all 16 games with 11 starts, including each of the last 10 games, and finished third on the team with 48 receptions, which gained 395 yards,

and included a nine-yard touchdown catch vs. Chicago on Nov. 20. It was the third season in a row an undrafted player led the tight ends in receptions.

PATRICK GRAHAMDEFENSIVE LINEPatrick Graham is in his second season coaching the Giants’ defensive line, his ninth season in the NFL, and his 16th year in coaching. In 2016, Graham’s linemen helped the Giants’ defense become the NFL’s most improved unit, one that allowed 158 fewer points and 1,290 fewer yards than the previous season. The lineman accounted for 23 of the Giants’ 35 sacks, which was 12 more sacks than the team had in 2015.In his first season with the Giants, defensive tackle Damon Harrison started all 16 regular-season games,

plus the NFC Wild Card Game in Green Bay, and finished third on the team with a career-high 86 tackles (55 solo), and a career-best 2.5 sacks. Harrison and safety Landon Collins were the Giants’ first AP first-team All-Pros since Jason Pierre-Paul in 2011.

ADAM HENRYWIDE RECEIVERS

Adam Henry is in his second season as the Giants’ wide receivers coach, his eighth season in the NFL, and his 20th season in coaching. Henry’s wide receivers were productive throughout the 2016 season. For the third time in as many seasons, Odell Beckham, Jr. led the Giants in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdown catches, and was selected to the Pro Bowl. Beckham, who played all 16 games for the first time, finished with 101 catches. That was the third-highest total in the NFL and the second-highest total in Giants’ history,

behind Steve Smith’s 107 receptions in 2009. Beckham’s 1,367 receiving yards were also third in the league, the second-highest total of his career, and the third-highest in Giants history. Beckham had 10 touchdown receptions, which placed him fifth in the NFL (two receivers had 14 and two had 12).

CRAIG JOHNSONRUNNING BACKSCraig Johnson is in his fourth season as the Giants’ running backs coach, his 18th season coaching in the NFL, and his 35th season as a football coach.

Paul Perkins, the Giants’ fifth-round draft choice in 2016, was second on the team with 112 carries for 456 yards. Perkins had personal season-high rushing totals in each of the last five games: 38 yards at Pittsburgh, 45 vs. Dallas, 56 vs. Detroit, 68 at

Philadelphia, and 102 in Washington, where he also had a season-high 21 carries. Perkins made his first career start vs. the Redskins, and became the first Giants back to rush for at least 100 yards since Jennings ran for 170 yards in the 2015 season finale vs. the Eagles.

By Dan SalomoneNov. 10, 2013

TURNING POINT

With the momentum in Oakland’s favor in the third quarter, cornerback Terrell Thomas turned it around for the Giants with a 65-yard interception return down to the Raiders five-yard line. Andre Brown eventually punched it in with a short touchdown run to put the Giants back ahead for good en route to a 24-20 victory.

WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT THE OFFENSE

Andre Brown couldn’t have written a better return to action. The running back, who was activated this week after spending the first half of the season on injured reserve/designated to return, established the run early for the Giants, carrying the ball 14 times for 65 yards in the first half and finishing with 115 yards on 30 carries. Meanwhile, the passing game had mixed results. Eli Manning threw a pick-six right before halftime and misfired on a few others, completing 12 of 22 passes on the day for 140 yards and a touchdown. The Giants did find success on third down, however, with a balanced attack, allowing them to control the clock.

WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT THE DEFENSE

Spotting seven points to Oakland after a special teams turnover on the opening kickoff (more on that below), the Giants buckled down on defense. Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor was able to extend some plays, but Oakland converted just 2 of 12 third downs, including a key goal-line stand by the Giants in third quarter. Culminating with Thomas’ long interception return, the defense boosted the Giants when the other two phases of the game struggled at times.

WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT SPECIAL TEAMS

The Giants have been in the middle of big special teams plays all season, and Sunday was no different. Jerrel Jernigan fumbled the opening kickoff, which Oakland recovered deep in New York territory and turned into a quick touchdown. However, the Giants evened it out with Damontre Moore’s blocked punt, which Cooper Taylor scooped and returned for a score. Punter Steve Weatherford struggled at times on a windy day at MetLife Stadium, including a 27-yarder in the third quarter and a partially blocked one in the fourth quarter that went seven yards.

ROOKIE WATCH

S Cooper Taylor returned a blocked punt 21 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter; DT Johnathan Hankins played in his fourth game and saw action on defense; Justin Pugh started at right tackle, where he has all season; QB Ryan Nassib was on the inactive list and did not dress.

Ben McAdoo succeeded Tom Coughlin as the Giants 17th head coach on Jan. 14, 2016, after spending the 2014 and 2015 seasons as the Giants offensive coordinator.

McAdoo had one of the most successful debut seasons by a head coach in Giants history in 2016. He tied Dan Reeves (1993) for the most victories by a Giants head coach in his first season with the team and was the fourth coach with dou-ble-digit victories in his initial Giants season. He is also fourth coach in franchise history to lead the team to the playoffs in his first season, joining Allie Sherman (1961), Reeves (1993) and Fassel (1997).

The Giants finished 11-5 and in second place in the NFC East after finishing 6-10 and in third place in both 2014 and 2015. The five-game improvement in victories was their biggest since 2005.

While in his role as offensive coordinator in 2014 and 2015, the Giants offense ranked in the top 10 in the NFL both sea-sons.

Last season, McAdoo continued his play-calling role as head coach. With Eli Manning throwing every pass, the Giants had 598 attempts (the fifth-highest total in franchise history) and 377 completions (third-highest total). The Giants’ completion percentage of 63.0 was the second highest in franchise history, just behind the record of 63.1 set in 2014 and just ahead of the 62.9 rate in 2015.

Before joining the Giants, McAdoo spent eight years as an as-sistant coach with the Green Bay Packers. During his tenure, the Packers earned six playoff berths, won four NFC North titles and defeated Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV.

Jack Del Rio was named the 19th head coach in the history of the Oakland Raiders franchise on Jan. 15, 2015. The appoint-ment marked a homecoming for Del Rio, who was raised in nearby Hayward, Calif.

Now in his 32nd year in the NFL and his 21st season in coach-ing, Del Rio has played for, coached with, and learned from some of the best coaches in all of football. He was recruited to play at USC by John Robinson, and in the NFL he played under Bum Phillips, Jim Mora, Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Green. As a coach, he honed his skills on the staffs of Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Ditka, Super Bowl winner Brian Billick and Super Bowl participant John Fox.

Last season, Del Rio guided the Raiders to a 12-4 record, marking the franchise’s first 12-win season since 2000. The Raiders earned a postseason berth for the first time since 2002 and landed an NFL-high seven players on the AFC Pro Bowl squad. Two Raiders earned spots on the Associated Press All-Pro First Team and DE Khalil Mack was named Defensive Player of the Year. Del Rio was selected as the recipient of the Maxwell Club’s Greasy Neale Professional Coach of the Year Award, becoming the sixth Raiders coach to earn NFL Coach of the Year honors. In addition, he was named the AFC Coach of the Year by Kansas City’s Committee of 101.

As defensive coordinator with the Denver Broncos from 2012-14, Del Rio was part of three-straight AFC West titles and helped lead Denver to an AFC Championship and appearance in Super Bowl XLVIII following the 2013 campaign. It marked his second stint under Head Coach John Fox, as the two also spent the 2002 season together in Carolina. In all, he has coached 28 players to a total of 40 Pro Bowl selections.

2017 REGULAR SEASON

D HEATING UPOver the past three weeks, the Giants defense has been among the best in the league in picking off the quarter-back. Their 5 interceptions are tied for second over the last three weeks.

HELLO, ROOKIEOrleans Darkwa’s 117-yard performance against Denver in Week 6 marked the first 100-yard rushing game by a Giants running back since Paul Perkins’ 102-yard game against Washington in Week 17 of 2016.

Darkwa ranks 9th in the league in yards-per-carry among running backs, averaging 4.63 yards. The chart below shows where he ranks among the league leaders in yards-per-carry.

Rookie tight end Evan Engram is off to a fast start in his career. He ranks in the top-4 in several relevant stats among NFL rookies through his first nine games, including receptions, yards, touchdowns and third down receptions.

The chart below shows where his numbers rank among all tight ends.

TDs ADDING UPEngram has quickly found his way into the Giants’ all-time record books, as his touchdown in Week 10 at San Francisco was his fifth on the season, tying Bob Tucker for the most touchdown receptions by a rookie tight end in franchise history. Tucker’s mark, which Engram can break this week, has stood since 1970.

GIANTS AT COWBOYSSEPTEMBER 11, 2017

COWBOYS 19, GIANTS 3

GAME 1

ARLINGTON, Texas – A year ago, the Giants invaded AT&T Stadium for their season opener and held the eventual NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys to only 19 points, including four Dan Bailey field goals. The visitors countered with three Eli Manning touchdown passes, and stormed out of Big D with a 20-19 victory.

On Sunday night, the Giants began the 2017 season in the palace in Dallas (well, technically Arlington). Bailey again kicked four field goals, and the Cowboys again scored 19 points. But this time, the Giants’ offense didn’t hold up its end. They scored only on rookie Aldrick Rosas’ 25-yard field goal, and left Texas with a 19-3 loss and a 0-1 record.

“Tough way to open the season,” said coach Ben McAdoo, who celebrated his first career victory here in 2016. “Give Dallas all of the credit. They came out here and won the ballgame. We have a long week to get better as a football team (before hosting Detroit next Monday night). We have a lot of work to do. Our complimentary football was nonexistent tonight.” Asked what he meant by compli-mentary football, McAdoo said, “all three phases playing together.”

The formula worked here last year. But while the defense held up its end this time, both the offense and special teams contributed little.

The Giants finished with 223 total yards, including just 35 on the ground, 13 first downs, and four successes in 12 third-down conversion opportunities. They owned the ball for only 25:46.

“The offense was very disappointing,” said McAdoo, a coach who always tries to stress the positive. “We are going to go back and look at the film and see how we can get better.”

The Giants were missing their most dynamic weapon, three-time Pro Bowler and big-play specialist Odell Beckham, Jr., who was inactive because of the ankle injury he suffered in Cleveland on Aug. 21. But McAdoo refused to use his best player’s absence as a reason for the offensive inefficiency.

“We have plenty of players who can make plays on the offense outside of Odell,” McAdoo said. “That is no excuse.”

GIANTS VS. LIONSSEPTEMBER 11, 2017LIONS 24, GIANTS 10

GAME 2

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – On a night when the Giants honored their 2007 Super Bowl XLII championship team, the current squad matched that team’s start by falling to 0-2.

Playing in MetLife Stadium for the first time this season, the Giants fell to the Detroit Lions, 24-10. The Giants have started a season with two losses for the fourth time in five years.

“We talk about playing complete, complementary football,” coach Ben McAdoo said. “By no stretch of the imagination did we get that done tonight. We’ve got to do better. We dug ourselves into a hole. No one feels sorry for us. We’ve got to find a way to get better and get better in a hurry.”

Perhaps this team can take solace in the fact that their start is remarkably similar to that of the titlists who played a decade ago. Both teams started with a loss in Dallas. Both came home to lose to an NFC North team (in 2007, it was Green Bay). And each faced another division road game in Week 3; 10 years ago in Washington, a goal-line stand clinched the Giants’ first victory. On Sunday, McAdoo’s team will be in Philadelphia.

But one significant difference exists between the two teams. The 2007 Giants struggled early on defense, allowing an NFL-high 80 points in the first two games. The present Giants are solid defensively, but haven’t produced on offense. They have scored just 13 points, the league’s third-lowest total and the Giants’ lowest two-game start since 1947 (seven points). The Giants have not scored at least 20 points in eight consecutive games.

Not even the return of Odell Beckham, Jr. could ignite the offense. Beckham did not play against the Cowboys because of the sprained ankle he suffered last month in Cleveland. He didn’t start against Detroit, and caught four passes for 36 yards. Beckham also had a crucial drop on a fourth down in the final quarter.

“We’ve got to score more,” quarterback Eli Manning said. “Not going in the right direction enough, going backwards, not converting on third downs enough. Got down there close on the one-yard line and then get a penalty and get a delay of game at the end. So, just not executing enough on third downs in the green zone, some critical moments.”

GIANTS AT EAGLESSEPTEMBER 24, 2017

EAGLES 27, GIANTS 24

GAME 3

PHILADELPHIA – For the first time in the Giants’ 1,341 games over 93 seasons, a player kicked a field goal that was at least 60 yards long. And when it happened, it was a dagger in the heart to the Giants.

Philadelphia’s Jake Elliott booted a 61-yard field goal as time expired Sunday to give the Eagles a 27-24 victory in one of the wildest games ever played between two teams that have been squaring off since 1933. The longest-ever field goal in a Giants game was also the longest by a rookie in NFL history, and the third-longest game-winner ever kicked.

“The game continues to teach us tough lessons and we have to learn from,” coach Ben McAdoo said, “and learn from in a hurry and fix.”

“It’s stunning, but at the end of the day it is the NFL,” cornerback Janoris Jenkins said. “We got to come out of it and continue to get better. Defense, offense, special teams, and as a unit. We are just going to put this game behind us and move onto the next one.”

That will be next week in Tampa against the Buccaneers. But the Giants first have a lot to sift through from this game, both good and bad.

On the plus side was that they rallied from a 14-0 deficit to twice take the lead (at 21-14 and 24-21), their 24-point fourth quarter, Eli Manning’s 366 passing yards and three touchdown passes (and he wasn’t sacked), and a combined 24 catches for 278 yards and three scores by wide receivers Odell Beckham, Jr., Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard. Beckham scored on four and 10-yard receptions, the latter with a spectacular one-handed grab. Shepard turned a short Manning throw into a 77-yard score.

But all the positive wasn’t enough to offset the negative. Like the Giants rushing for 49 yards and 2.9 yards a carry, while Philly ran for 193 and averaged 4.9 yards an attempt. And a failure to score on three chances from the two-yard line and in at the end of the first half. Plus 10 penalties for 137 yards, including two when the Giants were trying to drive for the game-winning field goal on their final possession. That series ended with Brad Wing’s 28-yard punt which gave the Eagles the ball on their own 38. Two plays later, Carson Wentz improbably completed a 19-yard pass to Alshon Jeffrey, who stepped out of bounds with one second left. Elliott, signed off Cincinnati’s practice squad after Caleb Sturgis was injured in the season opener, then kicked the long game-winning field goal.

GIANTS AT BUCCANEERSOCTOBER 1, 2017

BUCCANEERS 25, GIANTS 23

GAME 4

TAMPA – NFL players and coaches try to adhere to a 24-hour rule. Once any game ends, whether it’s an exhilarating victory or a discouraging defeat, they take one day to reflect on it before focusing on the next opponent.

That will be difficult this week for the Giants, who endured their second crushing loss in as many weeks Sunday in Raymond James Stadium. Nick Folk’s 34-yard field goal as time expired sent them to a 25-23 loss, just as rookie Jake Elliott’s final-play 61-yarder last week in Philadelphia left them on the wrong end of a 27-24 score.

“We feel like (crap),” said linebacker and defensive captain Jonathan Casillas. “Everybody does. It’s going to feel like this for a while. People always say 24-hour rule; it might be a little longer than that. It’s just 0-4, no one ever predicted us to do anything like that. It’s going to be really hard to swallow this one. I feel like we had it in the bag. Last week I feel like we had it in the bag. We just got to keep playing and understand that we still got a long way to go.”

Those feelings were prevalent in all corners of the Giants’ cramped locker room. Almost everyone is stunned they’ve descended from an 11-5 playoff team to a squad that is 0-4, the Giants’ worst start since 2013. And they can’t fathom how they owned fourth-quarter leads in each of the last two games, only to fall victim to their own mistakes and their opponents’ kicker.

“Nobody expected it, but we got nobody but ourselves to blame,” defensive tackle Damon Harrison said. “Our defense in particular. Our game could have ended 17-16. Once we get the lead, it’s our job to keep the lead and extend the lead if possible. So, it’s all on our shoulders.”

“I am not surprised,” coach Ben McAdoo said. “I am not shocked. You can’t carry things from one year to the next. We talked about that in the offseason. You got to be hungry, you got to be willing to work. We need to get back to work as a staff and get back to work as a team. Find a way to improve.”

GIANTS VS. CHARGERSOCTOBER 8, 2017

CHARGERS 27, GIANTS 22

GAME 5

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants’ offense took the field trailing by five with 2:53 remaining when Justin Pugh noticed something odd in the huddle.

“It didn’t hit me and then I was like, ‘Wait, why do we have three tight ends out here?’” Pugh said.

Because in one unfathomable game, the Giants had lost four wide receivers to injury, including Odell Beckham, Jr. with a fractured ankle. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they gave away a fourth-quarter lead for the third consecutive week and lost to the Los Angeles Chargers, 27-22, in MetLife Stadium.

The game was decided in a disastrous 56-second sequence in which Beckham was carted off, Eli Manning lost a fumble on the very next play, and three plays after that – on third-and-nine -- Philip Rivers threw the deciding 10-yard touchdown pass to running back Melvin Gordon.

The loss dropped the Giants to 0-5 for just the fourth time in their 93-season history. The Chargers broke a nine-game losing streak and are 1-4.

“You learn a lot about yourself in times like these,” coach Ben McAdoo said. “So you’ve got to work for yourself, work for your teammates. We’re all pros – this is what we get paid to do. We get paid to win, not just compete. So we’ve got to find a way to win.”

“Obviously, it’s tough to have close games, and have leads, and not be able to make completions, and make mistakes that hurt the team,” Manning said. “It’s tough to swallow, but you keep fighting back.”

GIANTS AT BRONCOSOCTOBER 15, 2017

GIANTS 23, BRONCOS 10

GAME 6

DENVER – Ben McAdoo hammered home his theme all last week. Without Odell Beckham, Jr., without Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard, and without several other key injured players, no one outside the Giants’ locker room gave them a chance to defeat the Broncos in Denver, traditionally one of the NFL’s most inhospitable venues for visiting teams.

“We talked about it all week long,” McAdoo said. “Revisited it last night and we talked about - our record wasn’t good. But that doesn’t mean we’re a bad football team. We are a good football team, we just need to find paths to victory. We found one tonight.”

And how sweet it was. The Giants dominated from start to finish and defeated the Broncos, 23-10, at Sports Authority Field in Mile High. It was their first victory of the season after five defeats. Denver fell to 3-2.

“We believe in ourselves and we feel like we’re all we’ve got as a team,” running back Orleans Darkwa said. “I feel like we’ve got a talented roster. We’ve lost some close games in the last three games, and I’m just glad we were able to close this one out.”

The Giants made several changes to open a path to victory. Most notably, McAdoo, who had called the plays in every game since his arrival as offensive coordinator in 2014, ceded those duties to the current coordinator, Mike Sullivan.

“I need to do what is best for the team, just like we ask the players and just like we ask the coaches,” McAdoo said. “I thought the team and the whole locker room needed me this week, I needed to be at my best for these players and coaches this week.”

GIANTS VS. SEAHAWKSOCTOBER 22, 2017

SEAHAWKS 24, GIANTS 7

GAME 7

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants had a grand plan after earning their first victory of the season last week in Denver. They would defeat the Seattle Seahawks, get some injured players back after next week’s bye, and continue their quest to turn around their season when they host the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 5.

But the strategy, and the season, absorbed a crushing blow Sunday, when the Giants struggled on offense the entire game and lost to the Seahawks, 24-7. They enter the bye with a 1-6 record, including 0-3 at home.

“We’ve got to keep grinding,” quarterback Eli Manning said. “Obviously, we’ve had a tough start, lost some key players, but they’re not going to make it easy for us, no team (will). So we’ve got to keep finding ways to get better. I think the game plan these last couple of weeks was, try to keep the game close, get into the fourth quarter, try to make a couple big plays. We just didn’t quite hit those big plays, didn’t convert on some third-and-manageables today. But, we’ve got to get better with the guys that we got, and find a way to execute.”

The actually led at halftime, 7-3, despite playing their second game in a row without wide receivers Odell Beckham, Jr., Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard, plus linebacker Jonathan Casillas, defensive end Olivier Vernon and center Weston Richburg. But they were outscored in the second half, 21-0, the first time they were shut out in the final two quarters since Dec. 5, 2015 against the Jets.

The Giants refuse to use the injuries as an excuse.

“We had 46 (players) today,” coach Ben McAdoo said. “We weren’t sharp on offense.”

GIANTS VS. RAMSNOVEMBER 5, 2017RAMS 51, GIANTS 17

GAME 8

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – After all three phases faltered in the Giants’ worst home loss in 19 years, the players delivered some of the hardest shots of the day in analyzing their own performance.

The MetLife Stadium scoreboard at the end of the game read: Rams 51, Giants 17. Entering the fourth quarter in their own stadium, the Giants trailed, 48-10. It was the most points they allowed at home in 53 years (Dec. 12, 1964 vs. Cleveland, to be exact) and their most lopsided loss as a home team since Nov. 15, 1998, when they lost to Green Bay in Giants Stadium, 37-3.

“It’s terrible,” said defensive end Jason Pierre Paul. “I don’t think I’ve ever had 51 points put on me ever in my career.”

“It’s hurtful, definitely hurtful,” safety Landon Collins said. “Last time that we gave up 50 was two years ago (in New Orleans) and we didn’t like it then, so we still don’t like it now. … It’s heartbreaking and we have to really get in the film room, get in the locker room and kind of just figure this stuff out. Something is up and we’ve got to figure it out.”

“It was pretty embarrassing, just as the team we know we are and know who we can be,” rookie tight end Evan Engram said. “That wasn’t us today.”

But it’s who they are now. The Giants are 1-7 and 0-4 at home, each for the first time since 1980.

“We have to accept it,” quarterback Eli Manning said. “Those are the facts, and we’ve just got to keep trying to fix that in the sense of next week and following weeks, getting better and trying to get a win.”

GAME 9

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – On Sunday, the Giants lost to the San Francisco 49ers, 31-21, a defeat that dropped them to 1-8 for the first time since 1980. The Giants were confident of rebounding after last week’s poor performance in a 34-point loss to the Los Angeles Rams. But after taking an early lead, they were dominated by a team that entered the game with a 0-9 record. It was the Giants’ first loss to an opponent with such a dismal record since Nov. 20, 1966 against Atlanta.

“There were only a few things that you could smile at, but you’re hurting inside,” cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said. “That’s two weeks in a row. I’m embarrassed for us.”

“Losing to a 0-9 team, you can’t get much worse than that,” said offensive lineman Justin Pugh, who missed the second half after aggravating his back injury. “We’re at where we’re at. (We have to) figure out where we’re going from here, because we’ve still got seven games left.”

The first of those will be next week at home against the 6-3 Kansas City Chiefs, who lead the AFC West and will be well-rested after their bye week. The Giants will then have a short week before playing Thanksgiving night in Washington. They will then return to the Bay Area to face the Oakland Raiders.

But as this game demonstrated, it matters little who the opposition is. If the Giants don’t improve in all phases, they will struggle against everyone.

GIANTS 12, CHIEFS 9 (OT)

GAME 10

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – They were without Sterling Shepard, who merely caught 11 passes last week in San Francisco, but was inactive because of migraine headaches.

They didn’t have cornerback Eli Apple, who had played in every game with seven starts, inactive due to a coach’s decision.

Justin Pugh, arguably their best offensive lineman, didn’t suit up because of a back injury.

B.J. Goodson, who would be their starting middle linebacker, was out of uniform again because of a lingering ankle injury.

And then there are the long-term injuries that forced the Giants to play again Sunday without Odell Beckham, Jr., Brandon Marshall, Dwayne Harris, Weston Richburg and Mark Herzlich.

“We were short-handed today, but that’s no excuse,” coach Ben McAdoo said. “We have enough talented players to go out there and play well.”

They proved that with perhaps their most impressive performance of the season in a 12-9 overtime victory in windy MetLife Stadium against the AFC West-leading Kansas City Chiefs. Aldrick Rosas’ 23-yard field goal with 1:54 remaining in overtime accounted for the game-winning points and capped a 10-play, 77-yard drive.

GAME 11

LANDOVER, MD – The Giants gained 170 yards on 55 plays, an average of 3.1 yards a snap. They totaled seven first downs – one in the second half, and that with 1:16 remaining in the game. It took two passes that gained 36 yards on the Giants’ final drive to put Eli Manning over 100 yards for the game. The Giants converted only two of 14 third-down opportunities. They traveled inside the Washington 20-yard line just once in 13 possessions, and came away with a field goal – but only after they couldn’t connect on an almost-certain touchdown pass.

The loss dropped the Giants to an unfathomable 2-9, and three games behind their nearest competitors in the NFC East (Washington and Dallas are 5-6).

“It’s no fun losing,” Manning said. “It’s no fun not scoring. Not enough points offensively. Yeah, it can wear you out. It can test you, but you’ve got to keep going to the drawing board and find ways to play better and move the ball and score some points.”

The reality is it’s difficult for the Giants to do that as presently constructed. They’ve played six games without Odell Beckham, Jr., Brandon Marshall and Dwayne Harris. With Justin Pugh, Weston Richburg and D.J. Fluker not playing, their offensive line is severely depleted. Sterling Shepard, the best receiver remaining on the active roster, missed his second consecutive game and fourth of the season.

“You miss him,” Manning said of Shepard. “He’s one of our go-to guys. He has some experience and he’s a playmaker. I thought he was going to give it a shot today. He kind of went through some chair drills this morning and was there, and then we got word he wasn’t going to go.”

Giants Notebook

The Giants had only three days to prepare after last Sun-day ’s overtime victory against Kansas City. But McAdoo, who also cited punter Brad Wing and kicker Aldrick Ro-sas, still expected more.

“I was disappointed in the way that our offense looked,” McAdoo said. “Really, as a team, we didn’t handle the ball well enough to win the game. We didn’t throw it well enough, we didn’t catch it well enough, we didn’t punt it well enough, we didn’t kick it well enough, and that was a big part of the ballgame. Last night we had a lot of unforced errors. They were both ways in the game and that ’s usually how it goes. On a Thursday night game, you’re going to have some of that and we just weren’t able to overcome it.”

“The guys out there want to make plays,” quarterback Eli Manning said. “I don’t think they ’re trying to do too much and therefore leading to. I think when you start pressing, that ’s when mistakes happen and obviously some games we’ve turned the ball over, but we’re not turning the ball over, we’re not forcing things, we’re not sloppy. Everybody has their part in it. It ’s not one person, we’ve had drops, I’ve missed some throws, we’ve had some mistakes up front. It ’s everybody at different times contributing to our lack of success.”

Manning was evidence that the problems were not lim-ited to the team’s inexperienced players. He overthrew running back Shane Vereen on what would have been a certain touchdown, and underthrew wide receiver Travis Rudolph on what would have been another successful third-down conversion. Manning completed only 13 of 27 passes for 113 yards, and had a season-low passer rating of 44.2.

The 14-year veteran was particularly frustrated because he thought the defense played well enough to give the Giants a chance to win the game.

“It ’s no fun,” Manning said. “It ’s obviously a team game. All three sides have to do their part to win a football game, but you don’t want to be one of the groups that is contributing to the losses, and that ’s what the offense is right now. We’re not doing our part. The defense is getting the stops, they ’re getting the turnovers, they ’re getting the fourth down stops, they ’re getting in good field position. We got to do our part. We got to stay on the field, we can’t have three and outs and we got to score more points and build them a lead. If we can get a lead, we can do some things to cause the other team to turn the ball over. We got to do our part.”

E AST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The first three months of the Giants’ season did not go according to the players’ and coaches’ plans and expectations. And it seems the last five weeks will be no different.

A 20-10 loss in Washington last night left the Giants with a 2-9 record, a mark no one on the team could have foreseen after the 2016 team made the playoffs with at 11-5. But reality is harsh, and though the Giants hope to win each of their five remaining games, teams in their predicament normally play out the schedule with an eye toward next year.

But the spate of injuries sustained by the Giants this season long ago tore up the script and accelerated that process.

“I guess the normal procedure would be to start taking a look at more younger players,” coach Ben McAdoo said on a conference call today. “But we’re doing that, really, already, with the way things have come out injury-wise. We have a lot of young players playing out there. And last night was an example, young players playing on a short week, and they played like it. We need to get more out of the young players on our roster. We took a step backwards there.”

The Giants’ defense had more positive moments than the offense, sacking Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins six times and limiting the Redskins to 3.9 yards per rushing attempt. The unit even scored the team’s only touchdown, on Janoris Jenkins’ 53-yard interception return in the third quarter.

But the offense sputtered all night, finishing with only 170 yards, seven first downs, and two third-down conver-sions in 14 attempts. The Giants averaged just 3.1 yards a play.

The offense, which has scored one touchdown in two games, was reliant on many of the young players McAdoo spoke about. Rookie fourth-round draft choice Wayne Gallman led the Giants with 37 rushing yards. Tight end Evan Engram, this year’s first-round selection, tied second-year pro Roger Lewis, Jr. for the team lead with three receptions. The team’s other wideouts in uniform were the inexperienced Tavarres King and Travis Ru-dolph. The right side of the line was manned by guard Jon Halapio, making his first start in his fifth career game, and Chad Wheeler, a rookie free agent making his second start.

Giants Announce Roster MovesBy Michael EisenNovember 27, 2017

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants added a second linebacker to their roster today when they were awarded Ray-Ray Armstrong off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers.

Armstrong was released last Friday. He had played in 10 games with five starts this season, and was the 49ers’ second-leading tackler, with 53 stops (38 solo), includ-ing one sack. Armstrong also had two interceptions (ty-ing him for the team lead) and one forced fumble.

Earlier today, the Giants signed free agent linebacker Jeremy Cash. They also placed four players on injured reserve – guard D.J. Fluker, cornerback Donte Deayon, and linebackers Curtis Grant and Deontae Skinner.

Armstrong, 6-3 and 220 pounds, has played in 58 regu-lar-season games with 10 starts for the St. Louis Rams, Oakland and San Francisco. His career totals include 109 tackles (80 solo), 2.0 sacks, three interceptions, two forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.

Armstrong entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie with the Rams in 2013, from the University of Miami. He played in all 16 games that season and had 12 special teams tackles, plus three on defense.

In 2014, he played in four games for the Rams and 11 with three starts for the Raiders after he was awarded to Oakland off waivers on Oct. 7. The Raiders released Armstrong on Nov. 24, 2015, and he was awarded the next day to the 49ers. That season, he played in 15 games with two starts for the two teams.

Last year, Armstrong played in only two games before going on injured reserve with a pectoral injury.

At Miami, Armstrong played in 30 games at safety, and recorded 134 tackles and four interceptions.

Giants Announce Roster MovesThis year, Cash played in the Panthers’ season opener but was waived on Oct. 3. He was on the Jets’ practice squad from Oct. 24 to last Friday, when he was released.

Cash will wear No. 35.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants continue to hurt aside from their 2-9 record.

Four days after their Thanksgiving Night loss in Wash-ington, the Giants today placed four players on injured reserve. That brings to 19 the current number of players they ’ve assigned to that unwanted designation.

Today ’s additions are offensive lineman D.J. Fluker (toe), cornerback Donte Deayon (forearm), and line-backers Curtis Grant (knee) and Deontae Skinner (hamstring). The Giants have six linebackers on injured reserve, including Mark Herzlich, Keenan Robinson, J.T. Thomas and Nigel Harris.

The Giants also added one player to their roster, line-backer Jeremy Cash.

Fluker, a six-year veteran, signed with the Giants as a free agent on March 12. After he was inactive on open-ing night, Fluker played in nine games, starting six at right guard, including the last five games in which he played. Fluker hurt his toe in the Giants’ 12-9 overtime victory against Kansas City on Nov. 19 and was inactive vs. the Redskins. Jon Halapio made his first career start at right guard on Thursday.

Deayon was signed to the Giants’ active roster off the practice squad on Oct. 12. He played in four games and was inactive for two games with an ankle injury, and finished with seven tackles (six solo). Deayon fractured his forearm in Washington.

Grant was signed off the practice squad on Sept. 18. He played in 10 games and had 13 tackles (nine solo) and a fumble recovery, plus five special teams tackles. Grant was carted off the field in Washington with a knee injury.

Skinner played in three games after he was signed off the Oakland Raiders’ practice squad on Nov. 7. He had two special teams tackles at San Francisco on Nov. 12. Skinner also played in four games for the Giants last season.

Cash, 6-0 and 230 pounds, entered the NFL out of Duke as an undrafted free agent with the Carolina Panthers in 2016. Last season, he played in eight games and had six special teams tackles.

After a three-day break, the Giants will begin prepar-ing for their next game, Dec. 3 against the Raiders in Oakland. Despite the bleak record, McAdoo has faith the team will end the season with a successful five-game run.

“Everything’s correctable, and I’m confident that we’re going to get it corrected,” he said. “But we need to be better (on offense). The players are going to get a couple days away from it and we need to come back and attack this last month head on.”

It ’s the only way to approach the end of a disappoint-ing season.

*Cornerback Donte Deayon (fractured forearm) and linebacker Curtis Grant (knee) suffered season-ending injuries last night. Linebacker Deontae Skinner has a hamstring injury. And Jenkins hurt his ankle. Asked if Jenkins could be out long-term, McAdoo said, “He’s in some pain right now, so there’s a possibility.”

*Wide receiver Sterling Shepard is still bothered by migraines, which kept him out of the last two games.

Giants Game Storyning was sacked four times. Rookie tight end Evan En-gram dropped three passes, including one on the game’s first third down. Running back Shane Vereen was open in the flat for a walk-in touchdown, but Manning overthrew him, forcing Aldrick Rosas to kick a 30-yard field or the game’s first points.

“I have got to hit Shane on that,” said Manning, who completed 13 of 27 passes for 113 yards, but didn’t throw a touchdown pass for the second game in a row – which hasn’t happened in five years. “It was a screen, trying to pop him out of the backfield. I thought I had to throw it a little sooner than I wanted to – kind of float it up there for him where maybe he can adjust and get to it. But I just put a little bit too much on it and we got to hit that one.”

“That ’s a throw and catch we have to have,” McAdoo said. “It should have been a touchdown.”

Engram has been a consistent performer this season, but he’s had trouble holding onto the ball two games in a row. And the thin Giants offense can’t overcome those miscues.

“Our margin for error is small with the way things are right now,” McAdoo said. “We know that going in. We can’t press. We can’t go out there and press. Evan looked like a rookie playing on a short week tonight, and he needs to get that out of his system, he needs to learn from it. I’m confident that he will learn from it and move on.

“I think early in the ballgame, we had some opportuni-ties where we dropped some balls, could have been a big play, had a first down, could have completed the ball, we missed a throw early. I think all that stuff catches up with you when you have to drop back and you don’t get to drop back on your own terms. There were some times where we were physical in the ballgame running the foot-ball, but certainly too many hits on the quarterback. But there’s plenty (of blame) to go around.”

The Giants, who next play on Dec. 3 in Oakland, had a few performances that will help carry them forward. Corner-back Janoris Jenkins scored their only touchdown when he intercepted a Kirk Cousins pass in the third quarter and returned it 53 yards for his second touchdown of the season. That tied the score at 10-10. The Giants recorded a season-high six sacks, including 3.5 by defensive ends Jason Pierre-Paul and Olivier Vernon. Landon Collins had 14 tackles for the second straight game.

L ANDOVER, Md. – Ben McAdoo’s assessment of the Giants’ offensive performance Thursday night was as ac-curate as it was succinct.

“Wasn’t very good,” McAdoo said.

No, it wasn’t. And that, more than anything else, was the reason the Giants lost to the Washington Redskins in FedExField, 20-10.

Where to start? The offense accounted for only three points. The Giants gained 170 yards on 55 plays, an av-erage of 3.1 yards a snap. They totaled seven first downs – one in the second half, and that with 1:16 remaining in the game. It took two passes that gained 36 yards on the Giants’ final drive to put Eli Manning over 100 yards for the game. The Giants converted only two of 14 third-down opportunities. They traveled inside the Washington 20-yard line just once in 13 possessions, and came away with a field goal – but only after they couldn’t connect on an almost-certain touchdown pass.

The loss dropped the Giants to an unfathomable 2-9, and three games behind their nearest competitors in the NFC East (Washington and Dallas are 5-6).

“It ’s no fun losing,” Manning said. “It ’s no fun not scor-ing. Not enough points offensively. Yeah, it can wear you out. It can test you, but you’ve got to keep going to the drawing board and find ways to play better and move the ball and score some points.”

The reality is it ’s difficult for the Giants to do that as presently constructed. They ’ve played six games without Odell Beckham, Jr., Brandon Marshall and Dwayne Har-ris. With Justin Pugh, Weston Richburg and D.J. Fluker not playing, their offensive line is severely depleted. Sterling Shepard, the best receiver remaining on the active roster, missed his second consecutive game and fourth of the season.

“You miss him,” Manning said of Shepard. “He’s one of our go-to guys. He has some experience and he’s a play-maker. I thought he was going to give it a shot today. He kind of went through some chair drills this morning and was there, and then we got word he wasn’t going to go.”

Not all the offensive deficiencies can be blamed on the absentee players. Left tackle Ereck Flowers was flagged for holding three times, but only one was accepted. Man-

Page 247: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

But the defense also had issues. Cousins threw touch-down passes of 15 yards to Jamison Crowder (who got open in the end zone while the quarterback bought time), and the 14-yard game-winner to Josh Dotson (who beat Jenkins, playing with an ankle he injured when he was tackled crossing the goal line on his touchdown). Ross Cockrell was penalized 37 yards for pass interference to set up the first of Nick Rose’s two field goals, and five yards for defensive holding on third down on the possession that ended with Dotson’s touchdown.

“We know that we had an opportunity to get off the field on third down, they called the holding penalty on me and I take responsibility for that,” Cockrell said.

“Defensive-wise, I feel like we were fighting through adversity,” Collins said. “We were playing our best ball, trying to make plays, trying to get the ball back to the offense as quick as possible, try to play field position, too.”

But the Giants just couldn’t score the points they needed to beat a team that had also struggled of late.

“You want to be able to get out there and make some plays,” running back Orleans Darkwa said. “It was kind of frustrating. But at the end of the day, we can figure out what we can do to get better. We can’t beat ourselves down about it. We got some time to get rested and get some guys healthy, but we got to get ready and look forward to our next opponent.”

Giants Postgame Notescurred in their three NFC East road games – at Dallas on Sept. 10, at Philadelphia on Sept. 24, and Thursday at Washington.

*The teams were tied after three quarters, 10-10. It was the first time the Giants and their opponents were tied entering the fourth quarter since the game against the Rams last season, when it was also 10-10.

*The Giants did not allow a first-half touchdown for the second game in a row and the fourth time this season (two sets of back-to-back games: at Denver and vs. Se-attle, and vs. Kansas City and at Washington).

*The Giants scored the game’s first points on Aldrick Ro-sas’ 30-yard field goal with 4:00 remaining in the second quarter. The score capped a 16-play, 60-yard drive that took 8:29. It tied the Giants’ season high for most plays on a single possession (16 on a field goal drive at Dallas) and was the second-longest in terms of time consumed (the series vs. the Cowboys took 9:44).

*When Washington’s Jamison Crowder scored on a 15-yard pass from Kirk Cousins in the third quarter, it was the first touchdown allowed by the Giants in 22 opposing offensive possessions since the game in San Francisco on Nov.12.

*The Giants fell are 7-5-3 on Thanksgiving. This was just their fourth Thanksgiving Day game since 1940 (1982 in Detroit, 1992 in Dallas, 2009 in Denver, and 2017 in Washington). The Giants are 15-9-3 on Thursday.

*This was the 1,300th regular-season game in Giants history. They are 686-582-33, including 305-311-17 on the road.

*The Giants are 11-9-1 in FedExField.

*Eli Manning started his 210th consecutive regular-season game and suffered his 100th loss. He is 110-100. Manning played in his 212th career game, four less than Michael Strahan’s franchise record.

*Manning completed 13 of 27 passes (48.1%) for 113 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception on this final throw of the night. It was the second time this season Manning hit less than 50 percent of his passes. On Oct. 22 against Seattle, he completed 19 of 39 throws (48.7%).

*Manning’s 113 passing yards was his lowest total since he threw for 111 yards at Buffalo on Dec. 23, 2007. He passed for 36 yards on the Giants’ final series.

L ANDOVER, Md. – Notes and statistics from the Gi-ants’ 20-10 loss to the Washington Redskins in FedEx-Field:

*The Giants lost for the fourth time in five games and fell to 2-9 on the season, including 1-5 on the road.

*The Giants employed their eighth different starting offensive line this season, tying them with the Green Bay Packers for the NFL high.

*Washington rookie Samaje Perine ran for 100 yards, and wide Jamison Crowder gained 141 yards on seven catches. The Redskins were the first Giants opponent with both a 100-yard rusher and 100-yard receiver since Oct. 29, 2014, when the Cowboys’ DeMarco Mur-ray ran for 128 yards and Dez Bryant had 151 yards on nine catches in Dallas.

*The Giants’ inactive players were offensive lineman Jus-tin Pugh (back), guard D.J. Fluker (toe), linebackers B.J. Goodson (ankle) and Calvin Munson (quad), wide receiver Sterling Shepard, cornerback Eli Apple and quarterback Davis Webb.

With first catch of summer, Brandon Marshall shows Giants (and himself) he’s not done yet

camp, he gets a ball thrown to him and makes a nice play,” Giants coach Ben McAdoo said. “There’s going to be a learning curve there [within a new offense], there will be some ups and downs like there are. But Bran-don’s played a lot of football, and we’re confident that he’ll come a long way fast. He’s a tremendous commu-nicator. There’s a lot of teaching and learning going on both ways: coach to player, player to coach, player to player. That always helps, and being a great communica-tor is important, so that ’ll help facilitate the process.”

Beckham put on a show of his own Saturday, following up his declared hope of being the highest-paid player in the NFL and co-owner and team president John Mara again proclaiming his desire that the star wide receiver would never play for a team other than the Giants.

On the first play of 11-on-11 drills, Manning fired deep for Beckham, who ran under the pass and sprinted into the end zone for a long touchdown. He followed that up with a nifty catch in traffic and a sliding catch in front of Eli Apple in another set of drills.

“He deserves to get paid, we’re going to pay him,” Mara said Friday. “It ’s just a question of when.”

With Marshall and Beckham on the outside, the pres-ence of Sterling Shepard in the slot and the potential of rookie Evan Engram at tight end, the Giants are cer-tainly optimistic.

The Giants harbored great expectations heading into last season, but their offensive production left a lot to be desired. They failed to reach 30 points in any game and ranked 22nd in red-zone efficiency, converting touch-downs only 51 percent of the time.

So far they ’ve impressed the defense tasked with trying to stop them every day this summer.

“In the NFL, you have to have at least three corner-backs,” Jenkins said, “but you might need five to cover those guys. And they come out and work man every day. You can see it as a defense everyone is getting better. Nobody is trying to take a step back or trying to be too much. It is all about getting better and having fun.”

By Art StapletonThe RecordJuly 29, 2017

Brandon Marshall has played 11 previous seasons in the NFL and caught 941 passes for 12,061 yards and 82 touchdowns, reaching the Pro Bowl six times in his career.

Yet when the horn sounded during practice Saturday and the Giants lined up for their first 7-on-7 drill of training camp, Marshall promises he broke the huddle with one thing on his mind:

At 33, the newest Giants wide receiver still had some-thing to prove.

“I mean, you hear a lot of talk about being over 30 and there’s an extreme drop off, so for me, that play was awesome because it was the first play of, really, training camp, the first time going against the defense,” said Marshall, on his fifth team after playing for the Broncos, the Dolphins, the Bears and most recently the Jets, who released him in March. “Being the new guy, you want to prove yourself and then secondly I want to prove to myself that I could still do it. So making a play that could possibly end up on, maybe not the Top 10 [on highlight shows], but maybe the Top 20 plays [of the day], it feels good.

“It was like, ‘OK, I can still do this.’”

This was only the second practice of training camp, of course, but as far as introductions go, the connection from Eli Manning to Marshall was the perfect way to start.

Giants Pro Bowl cornerback Janoris Jenkins was step for step in coverage against Marshall along the left side-line, exactly the kind of competition you would expect between two players on whom the team will count on immensely in order to realize its goal of reaching Super Bowl LII in Minnesota seven months from now.

With Manning’s throw in the air, Marshall stopped at the top of his route and in one motion used all of his 6-foot-4 frame to high-point the football, coming down with the catch to the roar of the crowd - a Giants’ crowd - for the first time.

“Well, it was nice to see on the first play of training

Page 251: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

“That offseason grind is a hunger, and going out there training with those guys, it ’s like, ‘OK, I see why,’” Deayon said. “I look at it as, we’re going to make money, people are going to spend money, well, how are you going to spend it? They always tell us ways to save money, and I’m like, well, this is an investment in my-self. Because I know if I come back in better shape and a better player, I’ve got a chance to make more money.”

Deayon and fellow undrafted corner Michael Hunter have impressed enough in spring workouts to get the chance to show they can be trusted on special teams and in coverage if the need arises behind Janoris Jenkins, Eli Apple and Rodgers-Cromartie at the position.

The next month or so will be Deayon’s opportunity to prove he deserves to be there in prime time Sept. 10 in Arlington when the Giants open against the Cowboys.

“I’ve got to be available and I’ve got to prove to them that I’m going to be available,” Deayon said. “I’m go-ing to be a better player today than I was yesterday, that ’s my mind-set. Everything I do matters in trying to make this team. I know I’ve got to earn my spot.”

Giants’ Damon Harrison looking for more sacks this season

By Tom RockNewsdayJuly 27, 2017

Damon Harrison’s nickname is Snacks. This year he’d like to drop the N.

Harrison registered 2.5 sacks last season, more than he had in his first four NFL campaigns combined. That wasn’t enough.

“I didn’t have many sacks last year, so I’m gonna work my butt off this offseason, or I have so far, to change that,” Harrison said. “If you ask me one thing that I’m changing from last year is I didn’t have enough sacks.”

He said he has a number in mind for a goal, be he chose not to disclose it.

“I want to break Jared Allen’s record,” he joked of the 22 registered by Allen in 2011. Giants Hall of Famer Mi-chael Strahan holds the single-season record for sacks with 22.5 in 2001.

The key to getting even halfway to those numbers, or a quarter, is abandoning an element of Harrison’s game that may sound surprising.

“Not being scared,” the 350-pound All-Pro said.

Scared?

“I don’t want to say I play scared, but I try to dominate in the run game so much that I end up with two hands on people a lot,” Harrison said. “In passing situations that ’s the one thing you don’t want to do is have both hands on someone because you are down the middle. You want to rush half the man. Just getting off the ball quicker, recognizing run and pass quicker as well.”

If he can do that, Harrison may go from being regarded as the NFL’s best run-stuffer to one of the league’s pre-mier overall defensive linemen.

Of course, there is one part of that plan that Harrison doesn’t want to change: The way he celebrates.

“The Snack Dance is staying,” he said of his moves after bringing down opposing quarterbacks.

He just hopes it shows up more often.

This Giant spent his summer in Vegas ... training with a Navy SEAL

Okwara said he has “started from square one again” and his main focus is working on his fundamentals. He believes his training this summer will allow him to make noticeable gains.

The Giants have a training camp kicking competition be-tween Mike Nugent and Aldrick Rosas. But when it comes to their Week 1 kicker against the Cowboys, there’s no guarantee either will get the nod. Here’s a look at vet-eran kickers who could become available at the end of the preseason.

“The main thing I try to focus on is consistency. Just being more consistent against the run, pass rushing and all the aspects of my game,” Okwara said. “You have to fight each and every day. Put good days together.”

Okwara certainly earned his roster spot last summer, but he was aided by a lack of depth at his position. The Giants won’t have that same issue this fall, at least on paper. They fortified their ends group this offseason by drafting Avery Moss and signing Devin Taylor, as well as re-signing Kerry Wynn and Pierre-Paul.

There will be an odd man or two out at defensive end this summer. It ’s highly unlikely Okwara is in any danger of that sort of fate - he is one of the Giants’ more promising young players. He won’t think like that though.

“You just take it like another day. Injuries happen, so you’ve just got to step up to the plate and just play,” Okwara said, reflecting on last year’s stretch run. “I don’t think about it that way. It ’s a new year. Anything can happen, especially in this game. Each and every day you have to go out there and compete, just try to do your best.”

By James KratchNJ Advance Media for NJ.comAugust 2, 2017

B en McAdoo recently said Romeo Okwara plays with “combatability.”

One, pretty sure that ’s a made-up word. Two, the Giants’ head coach probably doesn’t realize how apt his invented term for the second-year defensive end is, considering Okwara just spent his summer training with an actual warrior.

After a strong rookie season that included five starts down the stretch after Jason Pierre-Paul’s season-ending core muscle surgery, Okwara told NJ Advance Media he prepared for his second year by working with Navy SEAL Steve Chyra of Red Road Training in Las Vegas.

“It was hot. But it ’s a dry heat, so it ’s not too bad,” Okwara said. “Once or twice a week, we’d do a workout in the pool with SEAL stuff. Controlling your breathing, trying to focus when you’re uncomfortable. Running un-derwater with weights, stuff like that.”

Okwara, who went undrafted out of Notre Dame, said he was connected to Chyra by some college friends. He worked with him last year and was eager to get back before this season.

Okwara earned a roster spot last year with a sensational preseason, including a sack of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in the final exhibition game. He appeared in all 16 games, playing mostly on special teams before Pierre-Paul’s injury elevated him to the starting lineup.

“He’s a guy that, he plays with tremendous effort and combatability,” Okwara said. “He’s a big man that can run on special teams and he gets football, he’s a smart player.”

Okwara acquitted himself well in his starting stint, par-ticularly his star turn in the Giants’ stirring 10-7 win over the Cowboys at home in Week 14, his first start after Pierre-Paul went down. Despite that, he said he doesn’t feel he enters this year’s training camp in any different a position.

“I mean, I’m still fighting,” Okwara said. “Nothing has changed.”

Giants’ Robert Thomas: It ’s my time to turn too many close calls into big opportunity

“Everybody knows it ’s open. It ’s not set in stone that any-one is the starter,’’ Thomas said. “Everyone knows as long as you work and you go out and grind every day you got a shot for it, so you got to grind for it. ... When I’m out there, all respect to Snacks, OV and JPP, I feel like I can make plays, too.”

Thomas, 27, had been with five other teams in three pre-vious seasons, hopping from the practice squad to practice squad with the Redskins, the Seahawks, the Patriots, the Dolphins and the Panthers, with whom he spent the 2016 preseason.

“I was one of those guys that, everywhere I was, I was always so close to making the team and earning my spot, but the numbers’ game always seemed to be working against me,” Thomas said. “It wasn’t like I wasn’t doing good or anything, but there was always someone with a bigger contract or a real good player. I’d say to myself, what do I have to do to get over this hump and get roll-ing?”

When final cuts rolled around in Carolina last summer, Thomas found out close was not good enough again. Even after the Panthers informed him of his release, team of-ficials and coaches told him to stick around. They were hoping to sign him to the practice squad and expected to do so until the Giants claimed Thomas on the waiver wire.

Yet just when he thought business was about to pick up with Big Blue, Thomas was forced to be patient again. He developed that illness -- “It wasn’t life-threatening or ca-reer-threatening, but knocked me out for a while” – and was not cleared until late October to resume practicing.

Thomas ended up playing in eight games, recording a sack in one of the season’s biggest games when he decked Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in the Giants’ 10-7 vic-tory over Dallas at MetLife Stadium in December.

“[Thomas is] a big man,’’ Giants coach Ben McAdoo said. “He’s built low to the ground, he has that natural type of leverage. He’s a little bit of a spark plug.’’

Tomlinson, 23, will certainly have a role when he gets up to speed, and from what he has shown thus far, that should be sooner rather than later. Bromley, 25, knows the Giants are counting on him to take a big step forward in his fourth season.

R obert Thomas figured it was only a matter of time.

Not that the Giants’ defensive tackle would be chal-lenging for a starting job, mind you, but that he’d get the call that the team was cutting him last season, ulti-mately becoming the sixth to do so since he entered the NFL undrafted three years ago.

Thomas was unable to practice, missing nearly six weeks with an undisclosed illness.

The longer he was sidelined, the less certain he was about his future with Big Blue.

“Honestly, I had thoughts that for as long as I was out, at some point they were going to come to me and say, ‘OK, we’ve decided to let you go,’” Thomas told The Re-cord and NorthJersey.com after Tuesday ’s practice. “The more I talked to the bigger guys around here, the more they kept explaining to me that, ‘Hey, they really like you, don’t give up, they ’re gonna keep you.’

“So I just kept working, and when they called my name, I was gonna be ready.”

And now?

“I really feel like I owe them my best,” Thomas added with a smile.

That ’s exactly what the undrafted 6-foot-1, 331-pound-er from Arkansas has offered since spring workouts when the Giants created quite the competition at the position among veteran Jay Bromley, rookie second-round pick Dalvin Tomlinson and him.

The departure of Johnathan Hankins to the Colts in free agency left a hole on one of the NFL’s best defensive lines featuring Jason Pierre-Paul, Olivier Vernon and All-Pro Damon Harrison.

Well, some viewed the spot next to Harrison vacated by Hankins as a hole.

What Thomas saw was opportunity.

“I knew after Hank was leaving, it was down to me and Jay Bromley. I didn’t know they were going to draft Dalvin,” Thomas said. “That just makes it even tougher, everyone’s battling for a job. I feel like they feel like they know what I can do. I feel they think I can play ball here.’’

Pushing for prime time, Deayon embraces Giant chance to turn popularity into production

tor Steve Spagnuolo praise Deayon in practice. He did so Saturday, and not after what was a flash play during team drills when Deayon showed great closing speed on a crossing route before deflecting a pass intended for wide receiver Dwayne Harris.

During an 11-on-11 team session, Deayon stuck with rookie receiver Keeon Johnson from the snap, and with Johnson turning every which way on a play that turned into a scramble drill, he never gave an inch of space, forc-ing an incompletion.

Spagnuolo greeted Deayon almost immediately.

“I’ve gotta make this team. I have to make this team. That ’s my goal and I know I haven’t made the team yet,” Deayon told The Record and northjersey.com. “Whether I’m running with the ones, the twos, the threes, whatever it is, I haven’t made the team yet. Nothing is guaranteed until that final cut down comes. Day in and day out, you know you’ve got to come and bring your ‘A’ game to prac-tice. You can go from the top of the depth chart to the bot-tom from practice, not just games, and that ’s the biggest thing. I’ve got that hunger and I know what’s at stake for me every single day.”

Rodgers-Cromartie compares Deayon to Mike Adams, a former teammate of his with the Arizona Cardinals who played seven seasons in the NFL.

“He brings a lot of energy to our practice,” Giants coach Ben McAdoo said of Deayon. “We like that about him. He gets football, he’s been well-coached. He responds well to coaching. He’s a competitive, fiery kind of guy. He’s a good player for us.”

The key to Deayon’s staying power will be his durability. At his size, he’s going to have to prove he can hold up from the physical rigors of the game at this level.

To that end, Deayon spent a week working alongside teammates Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard in Los Angeles with renowned speed trainer Jamal Liggin last month.

With Liggin, Deayon worked on core strength, body con-trol and his explosion in and out of breaks.

By Art StapeltonThe RecordJuly 30, 2017

No one has asked Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie for an evaluation yet, but he’s already readied his pitch just in case team brass might ask.

Donte Deayon’s popularity within the Giants’ locker room is undeniable. His presence on the practice field is also noticeable as teammates gravitate toward him.

The undrafted cornerback from Boise State may be the smallest player on the Giants’ roster, but there’s plenty of admiration for his ability to get everything he can out of his 5-foot-9, 160-pound frame.

If only Deayon were two inches taller and, say, 20 pounds heavier.

But that isn’t the world Deayon chooses to live in, cer-tainly not as he refocuses on his NFL dream in the early stages of Giants’ training camp this summer.

The 23-year-old offers no excuses, preferring not to deal in hypotheticals regarding his size. And truth be told, he refuses to believe it will hinder his chances to make the Giants’ 53-man roster after spending his rookie season on the practice squad injured reserve due to a leg injury.

Rodgers-Cromartie, a 10-year veteran and two-time Pro Bowler, needs no convincing that Deayon belongs.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that DD can play in this league,” Rodgers-Cromartie told The Record and NorthJersey.com after practice Saturday. “I call him ‘Dyno’ because he’s so dynamic – he’s just got ‘it,’ Ev-ery tool that you need to be in this league: he’s got the brains, he’s got the athletic ability and he has the heart that goes with it. And the thing is, I think his heart is bigger than everything else. He doesn’t look at his size. What he is, he’s a guy that competes each and every day. I tell him, keep the main thing the main thing, and the main thing is do what you do.

“Because at the end of the day, look around – every-body loves you. Do what you do and you play hard all the time, and that ’s going to keep you around.”

It ’s not uncommon to see Giants defensive coordina-

Giants’ first-string defense picks up where it left off

a third-string rookie quarterback, rested Ben Roeth-lisberger and Antonio Brown, and is without holdout Le’Veon Bell, but the Giants were impressive nonethe-less. The starters forced a pair of three-and-outs and had an interception on the first three Pittsburgh possessions.

It was exactly what they were supposed to do, playing al-most all of their starters against Steelers backups (Jason Pierre-Paul and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie sat out).

“We’re just excited to see what we’re capable of,” middle linebacker B.J. Goodson said. “We just have to keep go-ing out and keep doing it over and over and over again. That ’s the process.”

It was far less easy to analyze the offense, but that might have been because of those who were not on the field. Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. did not play, Brandon Marshall was on the field for one brief series and Sterling Shepard sat out the game as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. Those are the four most potent offensive players on the team.

The offensive line looked shaky in pass protection, but some of that was a result of Josh Johnson’s play at quar-terback. The group was much more productive with Geno Smith at quarterback with the second-teamers (although Smith was intercepted in the third quarter).

The full starting offense will get a chance to try to flex some preseason muscle at some point later this month. On Friday night, it was the defense’s chance. And Collins’.

“I don’t pressure myself into being better,” the safety said of what he expects from 2017. “I pressure myself into working to get better. That just comes when the time comes. That ’s just my ultimate goal.”

This was the first step toward it.

Landon Collins is coming off a Pro Bowl season. He was under consideration for Defensive Player of the Year. He had one of the most statistically impressive years an NFL safety has ever registered and emerged as a leader and force for an ascending Giants offense.

On Friday night, he played like a guy trying to make the team.

Rather than loaf through the preseason opener, glide around in the secondary for the handful of snaps that he was scheduled to play, then pack it in and watch from the veterans’ virtual chaise lounges on the sideline, Collins set an early tone against the Steelers.

Possibly, too, it will set the tone for the season.

“We just have to showcase that we are still a force to reckon with,” Collins said after an aggressive showing in which he made the first two tackles of the game, assisted on stuffing a run on the second drive, and prevented an end-around from becoming a big play.

“He likes to play football,” Ben McAdoo said of the bud-ding leader of the defense. “He’s always around the ball. He has a nose for the ball. He’s an animal when it comes to that.”

The Giants lost the game, 20-12, but it was a night in which the starting defense provided a brief first glimpse of what they believe can become the best defense in the NFL this season.

“If we continue working as we work and continue work-ing as a whole, working against that type of offense we have now [in practice], we’re definitely going to be one of the best out there,” Collins said. “We’re not there yet.”

Collins said one reason for his on-field aggressiveness is that he is not allowed to hit teammates like that in practice. “I can’t unload like I want to on our guys,” he said. “We got to protect them. We got to keep them for the next game. So when I get the chance to hit somebody else, I am putting all of my force into them.”

It may have been against a Steelers team that started

Giants rookie TE Evan Engram has good first experi-ence

should be sooner rather than later. Bromley, 25, knows the Giants are counting on him to take a big step forward in his fourth season.

By Tom RockNewsdayAugust 12, 2017

Evan Engram moves around a lot in the Giants’ of-fense, but the rookie tight end came away from Friday ’s preseason opener with a sense of stability.

“I felt really at home out there,” he said of his first NFL experience. “I felt really at home, I felt comfortable, and I can’t wait to just keep building on tonight for the rest of the season.”

The boxscore didn’t show much for Engram. He caught one pass for 11 yards and had to wait until midway through the second quarter to even have a pass come his way. But he was most impressive as a blocker, the aspect of his game that is of most concern as he evolves from a spread offense in college to more of an in-line position with the Giants.

“I went head-up with a couple of big dudes out there,” he said of his blocking. “I think I held my own pretty good. Maybe some stuff to work on, maybe some better steps here and there, but that ’s what film is for. I definitely felt I was physical and got in there when need be.”

Engram seemed to be improving in training camp over the past week. He’s been playing faster and with more confidence in the offense. He said he felt that continue in Friday ’s game.

“Knowing your stuff just makes the game a lot easier,” he said.

And allowed Engram to enjoy the experience of his first NFL game a whole lot more.

“It ’s a dream come true,” he said. “To be out here with these guys, it was really exciting. I can’t honestly put it into words. It was just a really unique and amazing feel-ing.”

“[Thomas is] a big man,’’ Giants coach Ben McAdoo said. “He’s built low to the ground, he has that natural type of leverage. He’s a little bit of a spark plug.’’

Tomlinson, 23, will certainly have a role when he gets up to speed, and from what he has shown thus far, that

Aldrick Rosas, Mike Nugent neck-and-neck in Giants’ kicking battle

Still, seven is way too many.

“We need to eliminate the number of sacks that we had in the ball game,” McAdoo said.

Giant steps

The Giants seemed to start the game off well on offense with a 7-yard run by Paul Perkins, but McAdoo wanted more. “Perkins was one-on-one with the safety, and we need more than seven yards there,” he said. “He has to make him miss, and he has to run him over. We have to at least get a first down on that play” . . . McAdoo said many of the players who sat out Friday ’s game with in-juries — including WR Sterling Shepard (ankle), WR Ta-varres King (ankle), LB Mark Herzlich (stinger) — will begin getting “back in the mix” at practice on Sunday . . . Rookie LB Jimmy Herman, who was signed on Friday, was waived. He played two special teams snaps for the Giants on Friday night.

By Tom Rock NewsdayAugust 12, 2017

Ben McAdoo is so enthralled by the kicking competi-tion between Aldrick Rosas and Mike Nugent that for a moment he was almost rooting against his own offense.

That was in the fourth quarter on Friday ’s preseason game against the Steelers when the Giants were down by eight and driving.

“We had the ball on the 35-yard line,” McAdoo said on Saturday. “I wanted to kick it there, but I also wanted to give the guys the chance to go down and score to give us a chance to tie the ballgame.”

The Giants turned the ball over on downs at the Steel-ers’ 35.

The game was not without other kicking opportunities, including Rosas’ 52-yarder. It was, Rosas said after the game, his first kick from 50 or more yards since high school. He also connected on a 27-yarder while Nugent was good from 30 and 45.

“It was exciting for [Rosas] to get out there and see him make that kick,” McAdoo said of the 52-yarder. “All the players around him were excited, too.”

Rosas and Nugent remain stride-for-stride with each other in the competition, which is sure to be cranked up throughout the remainder of training camp.

“The positive thing,” McAdoo said, “is we have one heck of a battle going on at the kicker spot.”

Sack stance

The Giants allowed seven sacks in Friday ’s game, in-cluding three to Josh Johnson who was playing behind the starting offensive line. McAdoo, though, said that was not entirely the fault of the blocking.

“It wasn’t all the offensive line, but we did have some push,” McAdoo said, defending a unit that is under scru-tiny this preseason. He chalked the sacks up to “some wide receiver errors,” the quarterbacks holding onto the ball too long and Geno Smith at one point running out of bounds behind the line of scrimmage.

Giants rookie report: DT Dalvin Tomlinson impresses in debut

plays that jumped out positively or negatively.

OL Adam Bisnowaty Bisnowaty struggled, repeatedly giving up pressures off the edge. He appeared to get away with one false start and then left no doubt on another when he came off the line comically early. Bisnowaty ’s rough outing should quiet the talk of him being ready to push for the starting right tackle job.

Here’s a rundown on the Giants’ undrafted free agents:

•Wide receiver Travis Rudolph has had a solid camp, but he had a rough night on Friday. He fumbled a kickoff return, was called for a block in the back and wasn’t on the same page with quarterback Geno Smith on a third-quarter interception.

•Call off the left tackle competition. There was some intrigue when Chad Wheeler got reps with the first-team offense in Wednesday ’s practice, but the rookie showed on Friday that he’s nowhere near ready for prime time. Wheeler was beat repeatedly, allowing two sacks and two hurries, according to Pro Football Focus.

•Linebacker Calvin Munson is a player to keep an eye on. Munson played 29 snaps at linebacker and recorded five tackles. But Munson isn’t going to make the team for his linebacker play. His path to a roster spot is spe-cial teams and Munson was on the first-team of all four core units. Munson showed up by recovering Rudolph’s fumble on a kickoff return.

•Fullback Shane Smith got eight snaps with the first-team offense. He was the lead-blocker on a fourth-and-1 conversion and had a nine-yard catch. Smith also played nine snaps on special teams. If the Giants elect to carry a fullback, Smith is in the driver’s seat.

•Keeon Johnson showed good explosion, catching a wide receiver screen and picking up 16 yards on a third-and-16.

•Wide receiver Jerome Lane impressed with two catches for 27 yards, including a 19-yard gain that featured a broken tackle.

•Cornerback DaShaun Amos got beat deep twice but was fortunate that the throws were off the mark.

•Cornerback Nigel Tribune had a big stick on a kickoff return.

The Giants’ rookie class was on display for the first time in Friday ’s 20-12 loss to the Steelers in the pre-season opener. Here’s a review of the six draft picks and some of the undrafted free agents:

TE Evan Engram

Engram had a quiet debut after a strong showing in practice last week. The first-round pick had one catch for 11 yards that ended with Engram twisting precari-ously in the air. Engram played 23 snaps. He was the second tight end alongside Rhett Ellison for a few snaps with the first-team offense and he was the top tight end with the second-team offense in the second quarter. En-gram’s blocking didn’t stand out, although he and right guard John Jerry collided on one running play that got blown up in the backfield. Engram lined up in the back-field, in-line and in the slot.

DT Dalvin Tomlinson

Tomlinson had the most impressive debut of the Giants’ rookies. The second-round pick logged 27 snaps, mostly with the second-team defense. Tomlinson finished with four tackles and was constantly in the Pittsburgh back-field. He also drew a holding penalty.

QB Davis Webb

Webb came in with 6:39 remaining and engineered two drives. His first throw sailed high, as he was clearly too hyped up for his debut. But Webb settled down, completing 8-of-16 passes for 67 yards on mostly safe throws while playing with the third- and fourth-team offenses. Webb showed impressive mobility, repeatedly extending plays outside the pocket. He threw a pretty fade to Keeon Johnson that was broken up by a Steelers defensive back.

RB Wayne Gallman

Gallman ran hard, but didn’t get much help from his blockers. He finished with 11 yards on five carries, but he often had no room to run.

DE Avery Moss

Moss had a quiet night in 20 snaps with the third-team defense. He finished with two tackles, and there were no

A Giants title in 2017? Hey, it ’d be peak Eli (again)used to come back for two months to Oxford, where he built a house. But we kid him now. We tell him, ‘You’re a New York guy.’”

Manning secured his no-trade clause for a reason. He was dying to spend his entire career with the team that suited up his paternal grandfather’s favorite player, an-other Ole Miss guy named Charlie Conerly. “From the get-go,” Archie said, “Eli has been in love with the New York Giants.”

The youngest of three boys raised in New Orleans (Coo-per is the oldest), Eli was always a bit different, his old man said. He was the only son who would go antique shopping with his mother Olivia. He’s the only Manning son who enjoys studying wine.

Early on, after Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi made the 2004 draft-day deal with San Diego to acquire Manning, the No. 1 overall pick, it didn’t appear that Eli’s aw-shucks act would last long on Broadway. In his first three seasons under former Giants coach Tom Coughlin, Manning almost seemed too oblivious to the noise around him. “I’m not sure he knew one writer from another,” his father said. Archie, a former New Orleans Saints quarterback, appreciated his son’s carefree de-meanor and generally saw it as an asset in such a high-pressure market. But at times even he grew frustrated with Eli’s room-temperature approach.

“One day I called him and left him a message,” Archie recalled, “and I said, ‘Eli, Tiki (Barber) just blew up Coach Coughlin. You need to know that. Someone’s go-ing to ask you about it.’”

In the second half of the 2007 season, Archie was struck by an ominous thought. “I don’t know who they ’re go-ing to run out of town first up there,” he asked himself, “Eli or Coach Coughlin?” Two months later, Eli and Coach Coughlin beat Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in what Gi-ants owner John Mara called the greatest victory in fran-chise history. Four years later, Manning and Coughlin did it again to Brady and Belichick, who are 5-0 against all other Super Bowl opponents. Mara said after that second title that Manning is likely the Giants’ best offensive player of all time.

By Ian O’ConnorESPN.comAugust 18, 2017

Eli Manning has not won a single postseason game in 66 months, about the same amount of time it took Tolstoy to write “War and Peace.” Manning is 36, and the New York Giants have acknowledged preparing for life without him. For the first time they have drafted a quarterback, Davis Webb, who could be a legitimate threat to take Eli’s job.

Manning’s 51.8 Total QBR last season ranked 27th in the league, five spots behind Brock Osweiler and four behind Colin Kaepernick. Manning ranked 17th, 14th, and 27th in his three preceding seasons. What does this all mean?

Eli Manning has you right where he wants you in 2017.

Why? He’s one of the least likely big-city stars and probable Hall of Famers that the modern NFL has seen, that ’s why. Manning has been the master of the improbable for most of his career, and it sure seems im-probable that he’ll be good enough this season, or any remaining season, to become only the fifth quarterback to win at least three Super Bowl rings and the third to win at least three Super Bowl MVP awards.

Little about Manning’s career has made much sense, starting with the fact that he’s rightfully considered a clutch, big-game player despite his failure to win any playoff games in 11 of his 13 seasons. Manning has won as many as 12 games only once in his career. He has never struck people as the most rugged pocket passer, yet he’s one snap away from becoming the third quar-terback to make at least 200 consecutive regular-season starts. He has never struck people as the most elusive target, yet for all of the athletic marvels who have won championships -- from Roger Staubach to Steve Young to John Elway to Aaron Rodgers -- Eli is responsible for the greatest escape of all, on the David Tyree helmet catch against the 18-0 New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.

Forever projecting a quiet, retreating vibe, Eli would seem to be the least likely Manning, or SEC quarter-back, to embrace New York life as much as Alabama’s Joe Willie Namath did. Yet this former Ole Miss quar-terback loves his New Jersey home and his new mansion in the Hamptons so much, his father Archie said, that Eli “doesn’t even come back to Mississippi anymore. He

The postseason drought ever since has been painful. Coughlin was forced out, and the Giants’ long-awaited return to the playoffs last season was a one-and-done dud defined by Odell Beckham Jr.’s meltdown and -- after his infamous Miami boating trip with some team-mates -- the popular postgame take that he’d left his talents in South Beach. Manning has weathered it all. Now he looks up and down the Giants’ roster and sees a potentially great defense, a frighteningly good second-ary, and a pair of new receivers in Brandon Marshall and tight end Evan Engram, the first-round pick out of (where else?) Ole Miss, who could make Beckham’s life easier and give Eli his best shot yet to win ring No. 3.

“That ’s the goal,” he told ESPN.com. “I feel we’re put-ting together a special group of guys right now.”

Manning doesn’t use words like “special” for public consumption unless he means it.

“The culture, obviously, with the Giants is always good,” he said, “and ownership is always going to do everything possible to put a winning team together. So I think there’s a chance, and now it ’s a matter of, we’ve got to do our jobs.”

Not many stars have done their jobs in the New York market with fewer missteps than Manning. He has tried to follow the Derek Jeter model, the stay-out-of-trouble-at-all-costs model, but nobody, not even Jeter, spends a full career in the big city without getting nicked along the way. The Yankees’ captain got a little dirt on his uniform over his contentious relationship with Alex Rodriguez, and over an ugly contract standoff with management as his career was ending.

Manning? He has been named in a memorabilia fraud lawsuit that alleges the quarterback and the team passed off game-used helmets and jerseys that weren’t, you know, used in a game. Manning angrily denied any wrongdoing and asked that people consider his track record when shaping their opinions about the case.

That track record, Manning said after a practice this week, was born of his philosophy from day one of con-sistently playing to a low-volume beat. “You just try not to get overwhelmed with everything going on, and New York can do that to you,” Manning said. “And the media and just, you’re kind of pulled this way and that way, and answering questions and ... anything you say is go-ing to be a headline, or anything someone else says is going to be a headline. You just can’t let it get you up and down. If you’re worried about it, it ’s just going to drive you crazy. ... That ’s how I’ve always been, and I never let it change me.”

The retired executive who made him a Giant, Accorsi, is thrilled that Manning never changed. If he hadn’t made that draft-day deal with the Chargers, Accorsi would’ve taken Ben Roethlisberger over Philip Rivers with the fourth pick. Roethlisberger’s coach at Miami of Ohio, Terry Hoeppner, told Accorsi he badly wanted Big Ben in the Big Apple, but the Giants’ GM liked Manning a tad more. Ac-corsi’s scouting report on Eli said the Ole Miss quarterback had “a chance to be better than his brother.” Eli was never Peyton, but he did honor another part of that narrative.

“Has courage and poise,” Accorsi wrote. “In my opinion, most of all, he has that quality you can’t define. Call it magic.”

Thirteen years later, despite the 2-2 Roethlisberger-Man-ning score in titles and the fact that the Giants surrendered their 2005 first-rounder -- San Diego picked Shawne Mer-riman, though the Giants still ended up with Corey Web-ster, Justin Tuck and Brandon Jacobs in that draft -- Accorsi wouldn’t take a do-over. He was worried in the early years when the fans and the media were all over the quarter-back. Accorsi would occasionally go out to dinner in Hobo-ken, New Jersey, and look over at the building Manning lived in at the time and figure the poor guy was holed up inside, half-afraid to come out. “And I’m the one who put him here,” the GM would say.

But time and a couple of ticker-tape parades changed everything. So did Eli’s staggering durability. Manning has made 16 starts a dozen consecutive seasons; Roethlis-berger has made 16 starts only three times. “And the most remarkable thing to me,” Accorsi said, “is if you picked one guy to miss no games, you would’ve picked Roethlisberger. He’s built like a linebacker.”

Another weird Eli truth in a career of many. Though not swift or terribly athletic, Manning rarely takes a direct hit. He knows when to get rid of the ball and when to go down before impact, because he understands there’s no bigger drop-off in sports than the drop-off between the first-string and second-string quarterbacks in the NFL. In the end, a franchise quarterback’s most valuable talent is the talent for staying on the field. If he remains healthy this season, Manning will surpass his older brother’s run of 208 consecutive regular-season starts and land second on the all-time list behind Brett Favre’s untouchable streak of 297 straight.

Eli has never been an individual numbers guy. “But I do take pride in that one,” he said. “If there’s any stat, being there each and every week is something I’m proud of and work hard at doing. ...I know I’m going to do everything I can to be there every Sunday for my teammates.”

Manning’s inner flame burns hotter than his facial ex-pressions ever let on. His offensive coordinator for the two titles, the retired Kevin Gilbride, found out dur-ing a practice session in the pre-glory years, when the defense was dominating the offense and doing some heavy trash-talking to boot. An infuriated Gilbride con-fronted Manning, who looked as dispassionate as ever. “You can’t let this happen,” the coordinator screamed. “You’ve gotta compete. It ’s got to bother you. Every-thing we do is important, and you need to feel, ‘I’ve got to win this thing.’ I don’t feel it with you.”

And then Manning shot Gilbride a look he’d never seen before. A look that said, You have no idea how much this means to me.

Gilbride said he has seen no discernible deterioration in Manning’s skills, and unequivocally believes Eli has a third ring in him. He loves the quarterback’s receiv-ers. Asked if these are the best playmakers Manning has ever had, including the 2007 and 2011 champion-ship teams, Gilbride said, “I won’t say that because those were my guys. But if I were you, I’d probably look at it differently than what I’m saying publicly. That ’s as far as I’ll go.”

Manning wouldn’t rank one group of skill-position players against another, but it ’s clear he knows what he has. Marshall, the newcomer opposite Beckham, spoke of how his quarterback constantly challenges him to learn everything that needs to be learned about head coach Ben McAdoo’s system. Marshall said Manning will emerge from the showers wearing only a towel and suddenly start giving him signals for calls at the line of scrimmage. “He’s probably the most detailed quar-terback I’ve been around,” said the 12-year veteran.

If Manning gets some help from an offensive line that appears to be the team’s weakest link, he could join Brady (five Super Bowl titles), Joe Montana (four), Terry Bradshaw (four), and Troy Aikman (three) in the exclusive three-or-more club. Asked what he thought another championship would do for his legacy, Man-ning said he hasn’t thought of a prospective title in an individual context. He said he wants to win one for all the players and coaches in the building who have never experienced that feeling.

Manning suggested he might have one or two more cracks at it than most observers might suspect. He told ESPN.com he thinks he can play at least until he turns 40. “Yeah, I think sitting here right now, I think I can play another four years,” Eli said. “That ’s the way the body feels.”

Archie Manning said that he has “seen a lot of fire in Eli” of late, and that his youngest boy “threw the stew out of the ball this summer” at the Manning Passing Academy. When it ’s mentioned to Archie that Davis Webb could be to Eli what Jimmy Garoppolo is to Brady -- an heir apparent waiting for an opportunity -- the Manning patriarch said, “Well, Tom seems to be doing OK with it.”

Of course, Brady never went 66 months without a post-season victory. That ’s why Accorsi’s successor at GM, Jerry Reese, said Manning is “probably on the back nine” of his career.

But given his history, nobody should be shocked if this es-cape artist ends up behind the 18th green lifting another big trophy in the air.

Ben McAdoo shows Giants players ‘Detroit ’ movieand assignments.

Does the new film ‘Detroit ’ risk a lawsuit from real-life cops?

He admitted his promotion Thursday may have shown “I guess they ’re taking note of ” his performance, but Hunter is not resting at all.

“I have to keep earning my stripes,” he said.

By Pat Leonard New York Daily NewsAugust 18, 2017

Ben McAdoo showed his players the movie “Detroit” on Tuesday night to emphasize one of the core values he constantly preaches to his team: empathy.

McAdoo had planned to show his team the film long before this week’s white nationalist rally, violence and murder in Charlottesville, Va. But screening a film about the 1967 race riots in Detroit and the persecution of black civilians and minorities was especially poignant given the unfortunate current context.

“It ’s definitely sad to see what’s going on,” offensive lineman Justin Pugh, an NFLPA player rep, said Thurs-day. “(Coach) McAdoo would always say our country is not perfect; there are things going on that are issues … We watched a movie the other night, which was good for the team to watch and see what’s going on. It ’s defi-nitely a touchy subject.”

McAdoo wants his players always to put themselves in another person’s shoes, to understand as opposed to judge.

D.J. Fluker, another offensive lineman, called the movie “a big eye-opener.”

HUNTING SEASON

Corner Michael Hunter has asserted himself strongly in training camp as the Giants’ top backup corner be-hind starters Janoris Jenkins, Eli Apple and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Hunter even played in place of an injured Apple (ankle) with the first-team defense on Thursday, intercepting a Geno Smith pass intended for Roger Lewis and dominating corner DaShaun Amos out of bounds on the punt return team.

“He had a nice day today,” McAdoo said of Hunter. “He made a nice play on the ball (and a) couple flashes on the ball from press coverage on a go route, which is tough to do and encouraging to see. He is a young player that is making gains.”

Hunter, who played sparingly for the Giants last season as an undrafted rookie out of both Indiana and Okla-homa State, has had a consistently solid camp. He at-tributes his improved play to a better mastering of the play book, and said he’s constantly focused on technique

Giants’ Sterling Shepard doesn’t mind flying under the radar

everything we’re supposed to do, then we should have no problem moving the ball and being successful.”

Shepard may be playing in shadows, dwarfed by the oversized personalities and production the Giants have as their two starting receivers. He may even see a de-crease in his playing time and opportunities this season, as Engram is sure to take snaps away from him. The Giants want to be more diverse in terms of personnel, which means fewer three-receiver sets. Which means less work for the third receiver.

Even with that, though, Shepard thinks he can have a better season that he did as a rookie.

“We have a lot of guys who can go and we’re definitely going to spread the ball around,” he said, “but I feel like it could open me up if I do what I’m supposed to do.”

The Giants certainly don’t ignore Shepard. There was an almost audible exhale from the organization when the results of tests on that injured ankle came back as optimistic as they did. They know how important he is to this offense.“I know we don’t overlook him at all,” cornerback Eli Apple said. “We know his role, his production. He was very productive for us last year, getting a lot of touch-downs for us . . . mostly in the red zone, too. He’s a very good slot option for us and he can also play outside. He’s very versatile.”

Shepard came into the league fully confident that he would contribute right away. Beckham even tabbed him as the offensive rookie of the year before he played his first NFL snap. There was a lot of buzz around him.

“They don’t draft you in the second round if they don’t want you to make an immediate impact,” he said. “I knew I was going to get that shot and I knew I was going to seize it. I didn’t know exactly what numbers I’d put up, but I knew I was going to do something.”

This year, that something may be a different thing. A quieter thing.

“I think he’s more comfortable in the offense and com-fortable with his role,” Apple said. “I think he’s going to have a huge year.”

The fewer people who notice that, the better his season may be.

By Tom RockNewsdayAugust 17, 2017

Forget about Sterling Shepard.

Seriously. That ’s what he wants.

Focus on Odell Beckham Jr., the rock star receiver and one of the NFL’s most dynamic playmakers. Train the cameras on Brandon Marshall, the established veteran with close to Hall of Fame numbers who has come to the Giants in a last-ditch effort to reach the playoffs for the first time in his career. Fawn over Evan Engram, the rookie first-round pick who is expected to be a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses at tight end.

And ignore the player who was second on the team in passing targets last year, whose 65 catches for 683 yards and eight touchdowns were second among all NFL rook-ies in 2016.

“I don’t mind it,” Shepard said Thursday of his Mr. Cel-lophane persona. “That ’s kind of a good thing being under the radar. Don’t pay attention to me on game day. I’d love it.”

While the other Giants receivers have made headlines with one-handed grabs, quests to be the highest-paid player in the game and blunt talk of Super Bowls, Shepard had a very quiet summer. The biggest blip he created occurred when he rolled his ankle in a practice early in training camp. Once the injury was deemed mild, the story basically went away, too.

If Shepard were hobbling around in a boot, he’d be drawing more attention to himself than he currently is practicing with the team.

“As far as being noticed, I don’t really care about any of that stuff,” he said. “I’m just here to do my job and have a successful season.”

His job, as he sees it, is to help those marquee names do theirs.

“That ’s my job, to free them up,” he said. “If I’m catch-ing balls over the middle, and Evan is as well, then they have to pay attention to that. Then they ’ll have to, I guess you’d say, pick your poison. [Beckham] demands a lot of attention and Brandon does as well. If we do

Giants defense hopes off-field chemistry translate to on-field success

this year’s team to come together, even though so many are returning. “The first quarter of the regular season, to me, is figuring out who you are and what you are and where everybody fits,” he said. “Coaches, players, everybody. It ’s going to be an ongoing thing.”

Given the head start the team has in that regard, though, it ’s not unreasonable to believe the jelling will happen sooner. It ’s why many of the players believe that this year’s defense will be better than last year’s.Giants videos

“You always want to get better. You don’t want to stay the same,” Jason Pierre-Paul said. “I think this is going to be a great defense.”

Of course, the mood of the players and that bubbly per-sonality will be a lot different if the Cowboys light them up in the opener. Or if the Giants are 0-2 and facing a must-win situation in Philadelphia in Week 3.

“It ’d be a lot more fun if we’re winning games,” Spag nuolo said of the social fabric of his group. “This busi-ness is always fun if you win.”

Sometimes it ’s also the other way. Winning begets fun, but fun can beget winning, too.

The Giants hope that ’s the case and that their preseason party atmosphere can hang around for the entire season.

By Tom RockNewsdayAugust 18, 2017

Steve Spagnuolo does not know how good or bad his defense will be this season. It ’s only three weeks into the preseason, they ’ve been on the field against an opponent only for a handful of snaps, and there are plenty of concerns that need to be addressed.

The linebacker position, he said, is “revolving.” The in-ability to stop long passes needs to be improved over last year. The Giants still have competition at defensive tackle and need to figure out depth issues at defensive end and cornerback.

But it ’s what Spagnuolo sees off the field that gives him the most hope for the upcoming season.

“I love the way these guys interact,” the defensive coor-dinator said. “Around each other, they ’re a fun group.”

That might not count for much in the NFL, but the Giants hope it ’s a harbinger. Chemistry cannot be coached or drilled into players. It must happen organically. And the Giants seem to have it.

Whether it is throwing dance parties in the locker room, gathering for a surprise dinner for Eli Apple’s birthday last week or just hanging out on the field during prac-tice, the Giants’ defense seems to be a tight mesh of outgoing personae. They work hard, but they also know how to relax. And they relax together.

A good part of the reason for that esprit de corps comes from the success the group had last year and the fact that almost every significant piece to that group has returned.

“The group from a character standpoint is very much the same, in my opinion,” Spagnuolo said. “They have the same personalities. I think they seem to be enjoying it a little bit more this time. I think we started enjoying it toward the end of last year, too.”

That, not insignificantly, is when they started to play well. Well enough to drive the Giants to the playoffs. The Giants allowed a little more than 14 points per game in the final seven regular-season games.

Spagnuolo said it will take time for all of the pieces on

Giants’ Mike Sullivan: We’re going only as far as O-line takes us

Steelers. It ’s not as if there are quality options waiting in reserve if Flowers falters. The backup tackles are an un-drafted rookie and a sixth-round pick. There are reasons to be skeptical about the unit ’s potential, most notably when considering last season with the same five players.

But the Giants think they have made progress this sum-mer. Right tackle Bobby Hart has looked improved in his third year with the team, and the group has another year of experience together.

“I’m excited about the direction that we’re headed in,” starting left guard Justin Pugh said. “Just watching the game film, we’re doing some good things. It has to tran-sition to the games, though. I’m excited about going out there this week and getting some game action.”

There is plenty of room for improvement from last year. Pugh was injured and missed five games. Even when he returned, he wasn’t at 100 percent. He’s had better years. Center Weston Richburg played through a hand injury and didn’t have his best season, either, while Flowers and Hart struggled as pass protectors on the outside.

As a result, the Giants see potential for the line to be exponentially improved. Flowers in particular has the most room to grow, and the team insists he’s making gains. The Giants have gone to great lengths to make it known he’s doing better.

“Ereck, I thought, was a bright spot in the game versus the first opponent we played,” coach Ben McAdoo said. “I think he got his hands inside, had a couple nice strikes and punches. I thought he was bending pretty well, and I look forward to him taking a jump this week.”

Sullivan also praised Flowers’ performance. He noted a specific play at the 10- or 12-yard line on which Flowers’ pass protection was picture perfect. The young tackle fol-lowed that up with some rough practices earlier in the week.

But the Giants (at least publicly) have remained con-fident that Flowers is improving. It has been the same for the offensive line, likely in part because the team is aware just how integral the unit will be to the overall success this season.

By Jordan RanaanESPNAugust 18, 2017

The New York Giants seem to know what everybody else already does about their team this season: They ’re going to be only as good as their offensive line allows.

The Giants struggled badly to score points last season, finishing 26th in scoring. They were 29th in rushing. Their offensive line was a major part of the problem.

General manager Jerry Reese added weapons (wide receiver Brandon Marshall and tight end Evan Engram) this offseason but brought back the same five starting offensive linemen. It was a calculated risk.

The Giants were able to make the playoffs last season with an offense that couldn’t score points and an of-fensive line that didn’t run block well and struggled to protect off the edges. They didn’t win a playoff game.

Like the rest of us, the Giants seem to be aware they must improve in order to do any serious damage this season. They can go only so far, no matter how well the defense plays, if quarterback Eli Manning doesn’t have ample time and there aren’t holes for the running backs.

“All of the offensive line are determined. We know we’re going to go as far as the offensive line goes,” offen-sive coordinator Mike Sullivan said. “There has been improvement. We’re not where we want to be but we have shown some progress and we’re excited to take the next step.”

The pressure is on. The Giants offensive line, which has been a weak spot for year, must take its game to an improved level.

The summer has been filled with ups and downs. The Giants starters had decent pass protection but ran for just 8 yards on six carries in the preseason opener. The interior, which is supposed to be the strength of the line, struggled in that contest. Left tackle Ereck Flowers per-formed adequately but has struggled badly at times this summer.

Flowers is a legitimate concern, as is the entire line and its depth. The Giants ran for 3.2 yards per carry and allowed seven sacks last week against the Pittsburgh

team in Pittsburgh, I grew up watching all these teams and watching guys who we’re going up against and I’m out there on the field with them. So it ’s definitely just a different level. Emotionally and physically and X’s and O’s, it ’s just a whole other level.”

And now he gets to do it again.

“I’m really excited,” he said in anticipation of his second preseason game. “I can’t wait for Monday night.”

By Tom RockNewsdayAugust 21, 2017

Evan Engram came off the field on Aug. 11 buzzing about his first NFL experience.

“It really kind of hit me in that moment,” he said of his initial taste of professional football, the stadium and the lights and the atmosphere. He’d made it, a child-hood dream come true.

So his second game on Monday night will be a little bit more back-to-business for the Giants’ first-round pick? Focused more on execution than emotion?

“No,” the 22-year-old tight end said. “It ’s still going to be kind of nerve-wracking and exciting. I’m really pumped about it. It was a really cool feeling out there, getting out there and having your uniform on and being out there warming up . . . I don’t think that ’s ever going to go away.”

Engram said he tries to use that adrenaline to his ad-vantage.

“I think it adds to my game, the eagerness to do well and get out there and run around to make plays,” he said. “I think all that adds into my performance.”

There are drawbacks, though.

“I had to lock in,” he said. “Just being out there, I was kind of wide-eyed and a little nervous. So being in the huddle, I kind of had to slow down, lock in, hear the play call, get to the line. Just kind of slow everything down. In practice, we go through reads and just do all my stuff I usually do. But in the game, sometimes those nerves will build up, especially being a rookie and your first time out there, definitely stuff flies over your head.”

Engram played at Ole Miss in the SEC, so he’s been in plenty of games in front of large crowds. Even with MetLife Stadium far from filled to capacity, last week’s game was different, though. And it started with a song.

“In college, we never stood out there for the national anthem. We were always in the locker room,” he said. “I don’t know, just the atmosphere and realizing that we have an NFL shield on our jersey and an ‘NY’ on our helmets. So that just raised the level. Playing a great

From playbooks to used cars, Curtis Grant enjoying ‘blessing’ with Giants

The playbook may be tough, but it ’s not too tough. Working at all three positions “makes you stay in-tune,” Grant said, and there has always been a veteran player eager to help when he had a question. Grant is not about to complain, either. The Giants are giving him a firm look on defense and more special teams work than he ever had in his previous five spots.

“It definitely feels different than in the past. The oppor-tunities that you get are very slim, so I’m very thankful,” Grant said. “All I can do is show up and, as [Ohio State coach Urban] Meyer would say, stay above the line and continue to compete each and every day.

“A man in my position, you can’t afford to have a bad day. And if you do have a bad day, you have to correct it. Continue to give effort on something, You’re not going to be perfect at all times. But if you give an effort on something, they ’ll definitely see it.”

Football is Grant ’s dream. That ’s why he’s he doesn’t “mind coming here and getting yelled at by somebody else.” Ideally, he wants to be his own boss. That ’s where Car Mart Express comes in. Grant co-owns the used car dealership near Ohio State with his friend Jermaine Howell, who Grant says is more like a brother. Howell handles the day-to-day grind of the business, but Grant always keeps tabs on it.

“I’ve always loved cars. I worked at car dealerships in college over the summer and I did an internship at a car dealership,” Grant said. “We have 20-plus cars on our lot right now. It ’s a small, kind-of family-owned business.”

Grant ’s hope is he may have finally found a stable foot-ball home and family that keeps him close to his actual family.

“You never know. I want it to be,” he said. “Who wouldn’t want to play for the Giants and this organiza-tion? And I’m close to my family (in Virginia), that ’s the main thing. I’m only like five hours from my son, so that gives my family an opportunity to stay close and get him up here on the weekends.

“I’m just ready to play when my number is called.”

By James KratchNJ.comAugust 21, 2017

Curtis Grant was discussing the used car dealership he co-owns two hours south of here in Columbus, but the sentiment applies to his NFL career as well.

“When you’re a new business, it takes a little time to see a profit,” Grant said. “As long as the business can cover its bills for itself, you’ll be fine. You just have got to continue to keep going.”

The journeyman linebacker is as close as ever been to seeing his on-field profit come through with the Giants. A combination of a strong start to the preseason and attrition ahead of him on the depth chart has thrust the one-time undrafted free agent out of Ohio State, entering his third season and with his sixth club, onto the Giants’ roster bubble heading into Monday night ’s exhibition game against the Browns.

Grant has been training at all three linebacker positions in the Giants’ 4-3 scheme, both in the base defense and sub packages, as well as pushing for a role on special teams. Grant had some first-team snaps come his way when strongside linebacker Devon Kennard was limited for a spell in practice recently.

“It ’s a blessing, to be honest with you, just because it makes me versatile,” Grant said. “Being in this league, being a free agency, just being able to have versatility is what you need. Obviously it ’s a big role. They know that, and I know that as well.

“The reason I’m working with the first-team because a couple of guys went down, but I don’t know. Maybe they see something in me that I don’t see yet. I’m just com-peting and having a good time.”

Grant said defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s sys-tem is “definitely the hardest playbook I’ve had. Grant is a good guy to ask about those things. The 24-year-old Richmond, Va., native started his career with the Char-gers, but was waived at the end of the 2015 preseason.

Then came a stint on the Falcons’ practice squad late in that season, followed by a preseason with the Titans in 2016 - waived again at cutdown - and practice squad stints with the Raiders and 49ers last fall before signing a futures deal with the Giants in January.

Giants WR Jerome Lane, son of basketball star, try-ing to make his own name

to wide receiver. The 220-pounder’s size and strength made him a productive receiver instantly. He had 62 catches for 1,018 yards and six touchdowns last season before declaring early for the NFL Draft.

Lane didn’t get picked, but was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Colts. He said the Giants showed inter-est just after he agreed to sign with the Colts.

Lane was only with the Colts for a week before he was released. The Giants signed Lane on June 1 and he has been with the team since.

Lane faces long odds to make the roster at a deep posi-tion, but he has been turning heads recently. He had two catches for 27 yards in the preseason opener last Friday and he makes plays daily in practice.

“I always was able to work my way up,” Lane said. “I have no problem starting from the bottom and showing people what I can do.”

If Lane continues to show what he can do, he’ll be known for more than being the son of a famous dunker.

“It actually makes me go a lot harder,” Lane said. “Just knowing everybody knows me for being Jerome Lane’s son, I want everybody to know me for me being Jerome Lane. I actually want to make the name a little bigger than what it already is. That ’s my goal right now.”

By Dan DugganNJ.comAugust 20, 2017

How many times has Giants rookie wide receiver Jerome Lane seen the highlight?

“Maybe a million and three times,” Lane said.

And how many times has he heard the iconic catchphrase that accompanied the play?

“Maybe a million and six times,” Lane said.

Maybe the name Jerome Lane doesn’t ring a bell. But you almost certainly have seen the clip of his father Je-rome shattering a backboard with a dunk while playing for the University of Pittsburgh in 1988. And if you’ve seen the highlight, you surely remember announcer Bill Raftery punctuating the dunk by exclaiming, “Send it in, Jerome!”

The younger Lane wasn’t alive for his father’s most fa-mous play or his five-year NBA career. Lane’s earliest memories are growing up in Spain during the end of his father’s professional career.

“I was there from 2 until 5 or 6 and then we came back,” Lane said. “When I came back, my family said I didn’t speak a lick of English. Now, I don’t even remember a lick of Spanish.”

The family settled in Akron, where the elder Jerome was raised. Growing up the son of a local star had its perks.

“Everybody knowing my dad and everybody giving me praise on my dad, it just made me real proud just to be his son,” Lane said. “Somebody always knew me. Some-body always made sure I was staying out of trouble. It was like a close-knit family in Akron, so everybody just made sure I stayed out of harm’s way, stayed out of trouble and stayed on the right path.”

Lane thought he’d follow in his 6-foot-6 father’s foot-steps, but he stopped growing at 6-foot-3. Lane said he could have played football and basketball at Akron, but he chose to dedicate himself to the gridiron full-time in college.

Lane played linebacker and safety during his redshirt freshman season at Akron in 2014 before switching

Giants lineman knows pain of hurricane devastation too well

Flukers lived in their station wagon.

“On top of that, we had no gas either,” Fluker said. “We were just kinda winging it ’til everybody got their power restored, basically.”

They eventually found temporary refuge at their Aunt Jamie’s house. She had gotten a generator, and the television blared the horrific news about what used to be their home.

“It flooded the whole Ninth Ward. Everything was gone,” Fluker said.

He refers to Tropical Storm Harvey victims when he says: “So I understand what they ’re going through.”

Aunt Jamie’s house served only as a fleeting stiff-arm to homeless shelters and their station wagon.

“We would still go to her house to take a shower, but it was crowded,” Fluker said. “After a certain time, you don’t want to overstay your welcome, so you gotta find where you need to go, and go from there.

“We were homeless for a little while.”

For how long?

“A few weeks at a time, staying here and there,” Fluker said.

His mother, a single parent, had lost her job at a hotel. There was no money. They scavenged for food. Young Fluker weighed 400 pounds at the time.

“Strawberries. … I remember eating ham and cheese, just random stuff,” Fluker said. “Food markets throw things away, so that was kinda like the idea for the time being.”

About a month after Katrina, Fluker revisited his former home.

“I remember a lot of our clothes, our baby pictures, all gone,” he recalled. “Basically just total like annihilation, really.”

By Steve SerbyNY PostAugust 29, 2017

D.J. Fluker watches the tragic, heartbreaking im-ages out of Houston and knows all about the pain and suffering.

A dozen years ago it was he and his family escaping the full fury of Katrina just in time, but not her wrath.

His home in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward was de-stroyed when he and his family were able to return there. While displaced on a journey that took them to Biloxi and then Mobile, he and his mother, brother and two sisters lived part of the time in their Ford station wagon, and rummaged through dumpsters for food.

“Being through Hurricane Katrina, dealing with that is-sue, I’m wishing for the best for ’em,” Fluker told The Post. “I know it ’s hard right now because a lot of people don’t have cars, and lost everything — home, clothes, shoes, everything — everybody ’s struggling right now — so I just pray for them and their families.

“Other than that, all I can tell ’em is just keep praying, and hopefully something happens in the next few days.”

Fluker, New York Football Giants right guard and tackle, was 14 during his Katrina ordeal.

“Harvey looks a whole lot worse,” Fluker said.

Fluker flashes back to his family ’s evacuation.

“You can see the water levels coming over the bridge and everything,” he recalled. “It got dark real early outside during that day. A lot of thunder. My mom, she wanted to stay, ’cause she was talking about Hurricane Ivan — our house survived Hurricane Ivan — I was like, ‘We need to leave! This may not be the best thing for us.’”

His mother did the driving in the traffic.

“We ended up in Biloxi to rest for a while,” Fluker said. “I’ll never forget, it was traffic from Biloxi all the way to Alabama. We finally made it to Alabama that same night.”

Because there was no power, no cellphone usage, the

Fluker was asked how heartbreaking that was for him.

“The best thing in the world is being able to have your bed,” he said, “so it makes you really grateful for what you lost.

“When I saw this happen to the people in Houston, I was just like, ‘I know how that feels.’”

He had found stability in Mobile with his cousin.

“We would all try to stay together, but that was kinda hard, ’cause we weren’t getting nowhere,” Fluker said.

FEMA checks helped.

“That came in handy,” Fluker said.

He went on to become a profile in courage, resilience and perseverance, starring at offensive tackle at the Alabama, then becoming a first-round draft choice of the Chargers even after another body blow.

“That tornado hit Tuscaloosa, I lost everything again,” Fluker said.

His thoughts turn to the people of Houston.

“I get how they feel about everything,” Fluker said. “I lost everything twice. I had no clothes, and the school had to help me get donations in to get school clothes, things like that.

“So I understand. Totally.”

What advice would he give to the people of Houston?

“The only thing I can tell ’em is just to keep praying,” Fluker said. “I just hope they find work pretty soon and get back on their feet. I know it ’s hard right now, I know there’s a lot of kids crying right now, and I get that feeling.”

He will not stand idly by.

“My [former Alabama and Giants teammate] Kevin Norwood, we were talking about donating to a charity yesterday,” Fluker said Tuesday. “So I’m gonna donate some money to them, and some of the families down there. So that ’s what I’m looking forward to do.”

Walk this way: Now that Giants rookie Avery Moss has mastered crawling, he’s set for more

dice to 53 by Saturday at 4 p.m.

“He’s a young player. We’re asking a lot of him on the defensive side of the ball and special teams,” Giants coach Ben McAdoo said recently of Moss. “He has a lot to learn, but he’s very willing and he’s a hard worker.”

For Moss, the opportunity to stand out and convince the coaching staff he is ready for more is the challenge. Learning the playbook as a defensive end was daunting, but not nearly as difficult as learning the various posi-tions on special teams Moss had to take on in order to truly earn his spot.

“I’d never even watched a down of special teams before, until I came here,” Moss said. “It ’s definitely an eye-opening experience for me.”

The Giants like the competition they have had behind Pierre-Paul and Vernon, with defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo again acknowledging the preference (and the desire) to lessen their workload, provided the players that would replace them can do the job.

“We’ll see. They don’t like to come off the field, but we do got to keep them fresh,” Spagnuolo said, referring to Pierre-Paul and Vernon. “We have talked about it, it is a concentration. We’ll see how the other guys do back there.”

At 6-foot-3 and 265 pounds, Moss projects as someone who could play a role for Spagnuolo the way Justin Tuck and Mathias Kiwanuka did within Giants’ defenses of the past.

“Avery is really a true defensive end. You don’t see a lot of those guys these days but he’s a true defensive end that can play the run, rush the passer,” Giants general manager Jerry Reese said after drafting Moss. “Big guy, has a lot of upside. We think he is just now scratching the surface of where we think he can be. We really like his skill set and really think he can come in and help us in that d-line group and at that defensive end position.”

Added Moss: “I feel like I’m getting there, playing faster and understanding more. My job now is to keep getting better and show that I’m ready for whatever they give me.”

Giants defensive end Avery Moss offered up the perfect analogy for his progression over the first three months of his rookie season this spring.

“I have to crawl before I learn how to walk,” Moss told The Record and NorthJersey.com, flashing a wide smile during mini-camp in June. “And you have to walk before you can run, so right now, I’m crawling and doing my best to get up to speed as quickly as I can.”

When reminded of that analogy recently, Moss quickly replied: “Oh, I’m walking now, and this is the time when I have to figure out how to run.”

Moss, 22, has been steady this summer as he continues to adjust to life as a pro.

He was not thrust into the mix of starters like fellow rookies Evan Engram and Dalvin Tomlinson; instead, sitting on a depth chart behind stars Jason Pierre-Paul and Oliver Vernon, not to mention returnees Kerry Wynn and Romeo Okwara, in addition to veteran Devin Taylor, all of whom have been slugging it out.

Moss should not be fighting for a roster spot in Thurs-day night ’s preseason finale against the Patriots, which serves as the transition between exhibition and prepa-ration for the games that count, beginning with the Gi-ants’ Sept. 10 opener against the Cowboys in Arlington, Texas.

Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. were among a long list of starters who did not play for the Giants against New England, which sat Tom Brady and a host of others on its side, including former St. Joseph and Rutgers star safety Devin McCourty.

Beckham has not practiced since suffering a sprained ankle in the Giants’ Aug. 21 preseason game against the Browns in Cleveland. He has continued to undergo treatment and appears to be making progress toward being available Week 1.

Meanwhile, Moss has certainly shown enough talent that, provided something completely stunning and un-foreseen, the Giants’ fifth-round pick will be included on the roster when the league requires teams to slice and

Beckham did not make himself available afterward.

“I don’t pay too much attention to injuries and stuff like that, but whether it ’s really, really, really serious or not healthy or really, really good,” Casillas said, “he’s gonna play regardless. That ’s what I think.”

Bill Belichick lost Julian Edelman this preseason. Ben McAdoo has a healthier team than most. There were no catastrophic injuries. A dream preseason in that regard.

“I think we’re all ready to go, man,” Casillas said.

The Giants would not be concerned if Ezekiel Elliott gets to play the opener under the cloud of his six-game sus-pension.

“Our whole defense is basically back, and Eli’s got some really good weapons on offense,” Casillas said. “Jerry Reese did what he needed to do for us.”

Justin Pugh was asked if he had any doubts about Beck-ham playing against the Cowboys.

“I don’t think he’s gonna miss Dallas Week 1, ‘Sunday Night Football’,” Pugh said.

Dwayne Harris: “I have no doubt in my mind he’s gonna be there.”

Why?

“Because Odell is a competitor, man,” Harris said. “Any-body who knows Odell, he’s a competitor. He’s gonna do whatever he can to get out there at the first game September 10th. I haven’t really spoken to him or asked him about it, but just looking at him, I know he’s gonna be ready.”

Will Ereck Flowers and the offensive line be ready? Can the Giants run the ball? Will Eli Manning bounce back at age 36 with more weapons than he has ever had in his arsenal? Can the defense be dominant?

“With the talent that we have,” Harris said, “we can be as dangerous as we want to be. We just gotta put the team together and play together as a team and the sky ’s the limit for this team.”

Especially with Odell Beckham Jr. reaching to the sky with them.

Bring on the Boys. At last.

One by one, they walked out of the visiting locker room and out of the preseason and began the march toward Dallas at last.

“We’re eager to get this started, man,” Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie told The Post. “We’re going to do something special this year.”

One by one, they guaranteed Odell Beckham Jr. would be making that march on his improving sprained ankle to opening night with them.

“No doubt … none,” DRC said after the Giants’ 40-38 win in their preseason finale. “I just know him as a com-petitor and as a person. I just see him walking around the locker room, man. He’s good.”

There was Beckham, catching passes from a trainer in the end zone and while on his butt before Davis Webb engineered a drive that allowed Aldrick Rosas to ice the place-kicker job with a 48-yard field goal as time ex-pired to give the Giants a 40-38 victory.“He’s one of those guys that definitely want to be out there, and he’s gonna be out there,” DRC said.

One by one, a Bring On the Cowboys mentality gripped the Giants.“Let ’s get the ball started and rolling!” Landon Collins told The Post on his way out of Gillette Stadium.

Collins was asked if he has any doubts about Beckham playing against the Cowboys.

“I have no doubts,” he said.

Why?

“I just know HIM,” Collins said.

Free safety Darian Thompson was the only Giant starter who played against the Patriots on a night when both Geno Smith and Josh Johnson acquitted themselves well in their backup quarterback battle and tight end Matt LaCosse caught a pair of TD passes and Kerry Wynn had a pick-six.

“It ’s real close … Who wouldn’t want to play in Big D to open up the season?” Jonathan Casillas said.

fan favorite this summer. He could be brought back to the practice squad, but is also a possible waiver claim for other receiver-needy teams such as the Jets or the Browns.

Three undrafted rookies — FB Shane Smith, LB Cal-vin Munson and OL Chad Wheeler — made the initial roster. The rest of the transactions: waived/released RB Shaun Draughn and Khalid Abdullah; FB Jacob Hues-man; WR Jerome Lane, Canaan Severin, Marquis Bundy and Ed Eagan; TE Will Tye; OL Adam Bisnowaty, Jon Halapio, Jarron Jones and Matt Rotheram; DL Jordan Williams and Bobby Richardson; LB Stansly Maponga, Deontae Skinner, and Curtis Grant; CB Donte Deayon, DaShaun Amos and Nigel Tribune; and S Ryan Murphy and Trey Robinson.

Defensive tackle Josh Banks (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve.

Smith said after Thursday ’s game his focus was not on prevailing in a competition, but taking advantage of the chance the Giants offered him to become a better quarterback.

“I don’t know, I never really think about that honestly,” said Smith, 26. “I just want to go out there and play good football. That ’s been my goal the entire time is to improve and get better as a quarterback. That ’s the reason I came here.”

Rosas made sure to find Davis Webb in a victorious Giants locker room, and not to necessarily thank the rookie quarterback for getting the team in position for his game-winning field goal Thursday night.

Sure, a jubilant Rosas was appreciative of the opportu-nity to answer Stephen Gostkowski’s go-ahead field goal from 55 yards with 44 seconds left, and he knew Webb played a significant role in making sure the Giants got that chance.

But when Rosas found Webb in the locker room after the former’s 48-yard field goal — his fourth of the night — made the Giants 40-38 winners over the Patriots in the preseason finale for both teams, it was his confidence that resonated.

“I would’ve hit it from 60!” Rosas told Webb, a proc-lamation befitting a first-year kicker who responded to every challenge this summer, including the final one that was perhaps the biggest.

By Art StapletonThe RecordSeptember 2, 2017

Josh Johnson did little to lose the competition to back up Eli Manning in the Giants’ preseason finale against the Patriots two days ago.

It ’s just that Geno Smith went out and seemingly won the job as the Giants’ No. 2 quarterback this season. The former Jets second-round pick and oft-mocked castoff completed 10-of-11 passes for 111 yards and a touch-down as he started the game with Manning sitting out the game in advance of the Giants’ Week 1 opener in Arlington, Texas, against the Cowboys.

The Giants did not name a victor between Smith and Johnson in the immediate aftermath, but the verdict ultimately came down when Johnson was released Sat-urday.

“It was a close call,” Giants coach Ben McAdoo said. “Both men earned an opportunity and can play in this league. We wish Josh the best and thanked him for ev-erything he’s done for us.”

Another winner Saturday appears to be first-year kicker Aldrick Rosas, who came out on top in his battle with veteran Mike Nugent, who was released.

“We know Aldrick has a big leg, and we really liked the way he responded throughout training camp and in the preseason games,” McAdoo said. “Mike Nugent was a guy that came in and was a great teammate and was a pro. He pushed Aldrick, which made him better, and it made Aldrick better. I think at the end of the day you go with the players who’s been here [since January] and has the biggest upside.”

The Giants entered the day needing to cut their roster to 53 by Saturday ’s 4 p.m. deadline. They added to their secondary by completing a trade with the Steelers for cornerback Ross Cockrell, who started all 16 games for Pittsburgh last season.

The Giants placed linebacker and special teams contrib-utor Mark Herzlich (stinger) on injured reserve. Herzlich won Super Bowl XLVI as a rookie.

Another notable departure was that of rookie wide receiver Travis Rudolph, who played well and was a

Page 276: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

Rosas, 22, made all four of his field goal tries against the Patriots, stepping up and doing his best under pres-sure in the game’s final seconds.

“I feel like I got a lot of opportunities to showcase what I can do. I feel like I built my resume pretty well so far,” Rosas said after the game, later adding: “This is a dream come true. It ’s cool to be in the preseason, but to actually be on the 53-man roster, that ’s the dream.”

Webb, the Giants’ third-round draft pick, will serve at the No. 3 quarterback, but he’ll likely continue to put pressure on Smith for the backup job throughout the season.

Smith begins his fifth NFL season with a new team after experiencing ups and downs in four previous years with the Jets. In an impressive comeback from ACL surgery, he completed 36-of-54 passes for 355 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions.

Giants’ new kicker, Aldrick Rosas, likes pressurecemented his win over Nugent. Rosas nailed a 48-yarder as time expired to give the Giants a 40-38 win over the Patriots at Gillette Stadium.

A meaningless final score, perhaps, but a significant mo-ment for Rosas. After all, it came in front of the kicker he has modeled himself after.

“Stephen Gostkowski was my role model growing up,” Rosas said, referring to the Patriots’ kicker. The fact that Rosas’ game-winner came after Gostkowski had made the go-ahead field goal made the experience even more meaningful.

“That was fun,” he said. “I’m going to remember that one.”

Rosas didn’t get a chance to speak to Gostkowski that night, but he did make sure to watch him in warmups. “I got up close to look at his form to see it in person,” he said. “It was really cool.”

Rosas, who grew up in the small north-central California town of Orland, didn’t start kicking until his sophomore year in high school. He was a central midfielder in soccer before giving football a try.

“It was a small school. You sign up, you’re in,” said Ro-sas, who played receiver and outside linebacker. “Our kicker was doing bad and everyone was like, ‘You played soccer, just go kick it.’ I said OK and it felt good, and I’ve been kicking ever since.”

And now the dream has come true: Rosas has made it to the NFL and is ready for his debut on the biggest stage of all.

By Bob GlauberNewsdaySeptember 7, 2017

Aldrick Rosas does not want this to begin quietly.

After becoming the first kicker without NFL experience to make the Giants’ roster in 15 years, Rosas will go into AT&T Stadium for Sunday night ’s season opener against the Cowboys, and he is hoping the outcome comes down to a field-goal attempt.

“I (like) any time I get in the spotlight, or any time I get a chance to put points up on the board,” the 22-year-old told Newsday.

And if that means kicking the deciding field goal in the final moments in front of a raucous crowd of 100,000 in a nationally televised game?

“I wish all 16 games were game-winning kicks,” Rosas said.

Clearly, this is a young man who doesn’t lack confidence.

Barely a week after locking up a roster spot with a perfect preseason — 8-for-8 on field goals, 6-for-6 on extra points — Rosas is ready to go. He no longer has to concern himself with making the team after beating out Mike Nugent, which has narrowed his focus.

“Now the competition isn’t going on anymore, and I can go out freely, clear the mind and do my job,” he said. “It makes it a lot easier, building chemistry with (holder) Brad (Wing) and (long snapper) Zack (DeOssie). It ’s just me going on all cylinders now. It ’s great. Feel really good coming in.”

Rosas tried out for the Titans last year before losing out to former Chief Ryan Succop. He’s the first kicker to make the Giants’ roster without the benefit of playing in a regular-season game since Matt Bryant in 2002. Bryant kicked for two seasons before being released in Tom Coughlin’s first training camp in 2004. Rosas would be fortunate if he lasts as long as Bryant. At 42, Bryant is the Falcons’ kicker and preparing for his 16th NFL season.

First things first, though. Despite an impressive pre-season, Rosas needs to prove he’s a reliable NFL kicker in a big spot. He believes he will do just that, as he did on his final kick of the preseason, a moment that

Backing up Eli Manning – The idle life behind the NFL’s most durable QB

learned how to be a quarterback from Eli Manning.”

200 and counting

That Manning is set to start his 212th straight game (playoffs included) in Dallas is hardly breaking news. From the moment Tom Coughlin gave him the ball in Week 10 of his 2004 rookie season, Manning has started every game for the Giants, bridging the Coughlin regime to the Ben McAdoo one. It is a testament to Manning’s unnatural physical stamina, to an unwavering devotion to fitness, to incomparable knowledge of his game plan and unquestionable competitive drive and yes, to an un-deniable stretch of good fortune.

Yet if the 36-year-old quarterback has left a trail of anonymous backups in his wake, so too has he fostered one of the most unique fan clubs in football history, an exclusive ‘friends of Manning fraternity ’ that, after conversations with 11 of the 16 backups, seems every member is proud to have joined. Long hours and practi-cal jokes be damned, a group that includes one Hall of Famer, two Johnsons, a fellow No. 1 overall draft pick, a handful of veteran journeyman, one unforgettable nick-name and plenty of lifelong friends is one that recalls the days spent with Manning as some of the best of their football lives.

“I wish I was still backing him up six years later,” said 2010 backup Sage Rosenfels, a 10-year NFL veteran of 12 career starts whom the Giants acquired in a trade with Minnesota, where he’d spent a season backing up Brett Favre. “Of course I would have loved to play, but that was a special year. I took my football IQ seriously, and I learned more from Eli than I probably had from any other quarterback I had in my time. Some of my fondest NFL memories occurred in that year.”

Top picks and hall of famers

Rosenfels, along with recent Hall of Fame inductee Kurt Warner (2004), Super Bowl winner Anthony Wright (2007), the aforementioned Josh Johnson (2015) or onetime Peyton Manning backup Curtis Painter (2013) spent only one season with the Giants, while others, such as recent draft pick Ryan Nassib (2013-15), the fel-low NFL brother-tandem Hasselbeck, the ‘Hefty Lefty ’ Lorenzen or 2002’s No. 1 overall draft pick David Carr (2008-09, 2011-12) spent multiple seasons sharing time with Manning.

By Tara Sullivan The RecordSeptember 7, 2017

Having won one of the more hotly contested battles of Giants training camp, Geno Smith was busy accepting some hearty handshakes and heartfelt congratulations in front of his locker Monday, a bevy of good wishes from teammates delighted to see Smith earn the op-portunity to continue writing this new chapter of his NFL life.

But here’s the question no one would ask out loud: Is it really a good career move to back up Eli Manning?

Because let ’s be honest – once the season starts, being the No. 2 quarterback of the Giants is like being the NFL’s invisible man. If history is the indication, you’re never going to see the field. On Sunday night in Dal-las, Manning is set to start his 200th consecutive regular season game, the longest active streak in the NFL and third longest of all time behind only Brett Favre and Eli’s brother Peyton.

This is his job, and he isn’t about to give it up.

“I think I played seven snaps,” said Tim Hasselbeck, Eli’s backup for the 2005 and 2006 seasons. “There are probably some that feel it ’s bad for your career. I never thought of it at the time, but looking back at it, for somebody like me who wanted to play, it is bad for your career. But never. It was all positive for me. I never looked at it as a missed opportunity. I was happy to be there. He knows I was always supportive of him and I look back fondly on that. Quite honestly I’m happy it worked out for him that he was able to win two Super Bowls. My friendship with him continues.”

Surely Smith did well to beat out incumbent Josh John-son and join a quarterback room that includes rookie third-round draft pick Davis Webb, but both Smith and Webb are about to experience what Hasselbeck and 13 other quarterbacks have before them: Life behind Eli can be pretty idle. Yet thanks to the quiet confidence, disarming personality and generous spirit of the NFL’s resident Ironman, life in the Giants’ quarterback room is rarely boring.

“Every practical joke I know how to play on a football team is from Eli Manning,” said Jared Lorenzen, who played behind Eli from 2005-07. “Having said that, I

Page 279: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

Still others passed through in short stints, perhaps not making an active game roster, including the likes of Coughlin holdover Jesse Palmer (2004), comeback hopeful Rob Johnson (2006), draft fliers Andre Wood-son (2008) and Rhett Bomar (2009) or experienced veteran Jim Sorgi (2010).

Across their time, those men combined for 98 regular season pass attempts. Manning, in that same span, has thrown 6,825.

“There’s been a lot of characters and a lot of good play-ers that have been in our locker room since Eli,” said long snapper Zak DeOssie, drafted in 2007 and Man-ning’s longest-tenured teammate. “But it ’s no secret that every new face of every new quarterback who sat in between us in the locker room was destined to back Eli up. At the same time I feel like each of them was eager to learn from Eli or sort of get on board with his ap-proach, which is arguably one of the best in the NFL.”

“I learned what it took,” said Lorenzen, the man who came to closest to starting in place of Eli, all the way back in 2007 when Manning sustained a shoulder in-jury late in a season-opening loss to Dallas. “I thought I studied. I did. But to watch him, coaching a practice, getting it done, saying ‘now we’re going to watch the next day ’s third own, next day ’s green zone so I’m pre-pared, when they [coaches and teammates] come in I’m already prepared. I’m going to know before those guys, know what the hell is going on.’ And he did. He knew.”

Learning and teaching

Manning learned, and continues to learn, in many ways. He still hand draws scripted plays and asks pointed questions about play selection the way War-ner did, still breaks down film for hours the way he did with Hasselbeck, still dissects the chance to choose two-minute plays like he use do alongside Nassib, still bats around endless football ideas like he did with Wright, Rosenfels or Painter, working up the nerve to ask coaches to include a certain play in the game plan, still cedes responsibility for short-yardage situations to running backs the way he once did quarterback sneaks to Lorenzen.

A child of football - son of Archie, brother of Cooper and Peyton - Eli was never content simply emulating their public intensity. With a laid-back exterior cov-ering his internal drive, Eli lets his hard work be his example to others, just as he let their hard work be an example to him. “The thing people don’t know about Eli, if they don’t really know him, is he’s funny, has a

very easy going loose personality, he’s a prankster, a great guy,” recalled Jesse Palmer, a close friend and Hoboken neighbor during Manning’s rookie season, “but when he would go into the quarterback room, it was all business. He was focused in and dialed in.”

”There were times I just wanted to go home,” Hasselbeck said. “It was late. I was going to the city. I just turned my 30-minute commute into a 90-minute commute because I stayed late to watch film with Eli. But if he was going to be in there watching tape, looking at pictures, I was going to be in there with him. What I wanted him to know was that he could trust me. I really wanted him to do well.”

Keeping up with Eli

Those are traits Eli values, particularly in those early years when he was the sponge, but even now as he is the water. You need a guy who wants to play, is ready to play, is good enough to play, but can be patient knowing he likely won’t play. In a recent one-on-one interview with The Record and northjersey.com, Manning described his prototype.

“Well I think it ’s someone who is good in the meeting rooms, has ideas, is great on game day, watching from the sideline, supportive during the ups and downs, has posi-tive feedback and also seeing the field and kind of knows when to say something and when to not say something,” Manning said. “You still got to be prepared for it. I want them to be prepared. If they got to get in a game, whether it ’s late in a game when we have a lead or we’re down a bunch or hey, something happens and a guy ’s got to fill in for a while and win some games till I get back, you still want them to go out there and do well. It ’s about the team and having a shot to make the playoffs. It just hasn’t happened.”

Smith, never before around a quarterback with Eli’s re-sume, can’t wait to play the role.

“I was in there as a rookie [with the Jets] and there was really no one there to mentor us and a lot of things we learned on the fly,” he said. “But just being in the room with Eli for a couple of months you see that there are things within the game that you can kind of manipulate if you know what the defense is doing, certain checks, always knowing the protections and what you need to be on top of. Being prepared for anything.”

Watch your back

Geno would be wise to heed his own advice, or he might find himself unprepared for a sneak attack. Manning is famous for changing the language on your cell phone, for putting Vaseline on your car doors and windshields, for generally keeping the locker room light with pointed barbs and plenty of jokes (ask him about the time he, Hasselbeck and Lorenzen managed to string then-QB coach Chris Palmer’s bicycle from the rafters of Albany ’s gym). He can take it too, finding live frogs in his mesh laundry bag or left to carry the jumbo-sized package of toilet paper into those Albany training camp dorm rooms (thanks Hasselbeck).

“You just think of the stories – we had some good pranks over the years,” Manning said. “Meetings can be long, we’d just need a little break and we’d say, ‘let ’s go mess with the linemen.

“Tim and I were good pals.”

Hasselbeck’s roster spot would eventually give way Wright, and Manning would go on to win the first of is two Super Bowl MVPs the year after Hasselbeck left. But he didn’t leave without making his mark.

“I used to joke with Eli when I knew I was getting cut, that I can’t be your [Gary] Kubiak,” Hasselbeck said of John Elway ’s longtime Denver teammate. “I’m not go-ing to be your backup for the rest of your life.”

But he will be his friend. And in that, he is not alone.

Giants WRs coach Adam Henry to reunite with family in Dallas after they were forced to flee Houston

very supportive in sports and whatever we do. We’re very, very close.”

This time, though, the meeting will be anything but normal.

Most of Henry ’s relatives live in Houston. In the flood. In the city that was inundated by Hurricane Harvey almost two weeks ago. They all got out — they fled to Dallas — but there was a lot of harrowing time before every-one was accounted for.

“When everybody starts going, ‘Let ’s go to cover’ and your parents don’t want to go, you start thinking, ‘Um, OK, it ’s time to go,’ ” Henry told Newsday this past week. “My brothers got them out. I had one brother [Frank] who didn’t go, so you think: What’s going to happen? He ended up being fine, but they had to go rescue him. There was an evacuation, and he couldn’t get out.

“The things that go through your head when you don’t know about safety,” he said, pausing. “That was low because I didn’t know. I didn’t know what was going to happen to my brother, I didn’t know what was hap-pening.”

That ’s because through all of it, Henry was in New Jersey with the Giants. The demands of his job are such that he couldn’t just go back home and pitch in. He couldn’t even work the phones trying to locate everyone in his vast family.

“I can’t just get on the phone when I want to,” he said. “I’m in meetings, I’m here. So you check your phone when you can. You make a call, there’s no answer, then you have to go back to meetings. It ’s one of those things I just had to wait out.”

Eventually, everyone was together. Everyone except Adam Henry.

That final piece had to wait until this weekend when, serendipitously, the Giants will be playing the Cowboys in Dallas.

“It ’ll be special,” he said of seeing everyone in person after the ordeal.

HE WANTED TO KEEP NEWS PRIVATE

By Tom RockNewsdaySeptember 10, 2017

The Giants’ wide receivers were in a meeting last week when one of them started talking about some off-the-field issue he was having. It had to do with bal-ancing work and life, making room for everything he wanted to do, prioritizing all of the things he had to do, and what he was going through.

The type of griping and complaining that happens in just about every cubicle and conference room in the country.

But Adam Henry had heard enough. Something bubbled up inside of him, probably subconsciously and without him even realizing, and it came out in his words. The second-year Giants receivers coach spoke from the heart. A wounded heart.

“I’m here and I’m working,” he told them with a few cracks of emotion in his voice. “There’s a lot of stuff going on, but I’m here. I’m here early and I leave late. It doesn’t matter what’s going on around me; I have a job to do and I’m going to do my job to the best of my ability.”

There was silence. Henry usually is so relaxed, so friend-ly. He’s a teacher and a confidant. A players’ coach. For him to flash that kind of intensity, to speak so sternly, got the attention of the group.

Wait. Stuff going on?

“They were like: ‘What’s going on?’ ” Henry recalled.

So he thought about it. Then he told them.

Henry comes from a very large Texas family. For Sunday night ’s game against the Cowboys, many of them will be there to support him and the Giants. “Thirty-five tick-ets,” he said of the group, which will include his parents, his three kids, his seven brothers and his sister. It ’s like that each time Henry coaches a team in his home state. Last year, he was in Dallas for the homecoming with the Giants. The year before that, when he was an assistant with the 49ers, the team played in Houston, and that ’s where the reunion took place.

“That ’s normal,” he said. “My family has always been

Page 282: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

The players had no clue about it until Henry told them. They knew he was from Beaumont, Texas, which is just northeast of Houston along the Gulf coast. They knew he played college ball at McNeese State, which is just over the Louisiana border. But they never put it all to-gether, that the images they saw on the news and on social media in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey were originating from Henry ’s home.

“He’s one of those guys who just comes to work every day and doesn’t really show much,” wide receiver Ster-ling Shepard said. “He does a good job. Whenever he’s here, you hardly even notice that anything is wrong. It takes a strong-minded person to come to work every day and handle business and not show anything.”

It was appreciated.

“Adam is a pro,” Giants coach Ben McAdoo said. “You certainly can’t tell that his family is down there in the mix of a hurricane and the aftermath of the hurricane with the way he handles his business.”

That was exactly what Henry wanted. Had he never slipped up in that meeting and mentioned that some-thing was amiss in his life, he would have been just as happy. And he never gave any thought to leaving the team, even for a day.

“When football season is here, I’m locked in,” he said, noting that he missed two of his brothers’ weddings because they occurred during the season. “That ’s just the nature of the beast. When football season comes, everything else shuts down. This is the life that I’ve cho-sen, the path to where I’m going. I know this is what I should be doing. I know that beyond a shadow of a doubt.”

‘BUT THERE’S JUST SO MUCH WATER’

The news and the pictures are still coming into his phone on a daily basis.

“I have friends who are still there and they ’re send-ing you pictures, everyday life without power, without food,” Henry said. “It ’s a helpless situation. You just have to regroup.”

Just the other day, he heard from a friend that one of the high school football teams in Beaumont had gone back to practicing. The problem was that someone had to drive their practice uniforms several towns away so they could be laundered in clean water. Beaumont’s water supplies have been contaminated.

“You hear the stories, and most of the time they ’re just stories,” he said. “But when you hear them and they ’re personal and you know the people who are involved, it ’s totally different . . . They send you pictures and they ’re personal pictures. Not things that you see on the news or on the Internet.”

Photos of houses filled with water like aquariums. Horror stories of escape. Tragic stories, such as one of his child-hood friends whose mother was one of the casualties of the storm.

Some of his cousins began getting electricity late last week. “But it ’s on and off,” Henry said.

His friend Michael Nixon, with whom he grew up, is now a police detective in Beaumont. He shares his tales from the job, some of which are uplifting but most of which are soul-crushing.

“He says there has been a tremendous response, more so than Ike and Rita,” Henry said of past hurricanes that hit the area. “They ’re doing a good job.

“But there’s just so much water.”

LENDING A HELPING HAND IN TIME OF NEED

The last time a big hurricane hit, Henry was an assistant coach at McNeese State in Lake Charles, Louisiana. That was Hurricane Rita in 2005. Henry evacuated to Auburn, Alabama, during the brunt of the storm but returned shortly thereafter as McNeese resumed its season. They practiced and played their games at Southeastern Louisi-ana State in nearby Hammond.

“Our whole stadium was under water,” he recalled.

It was almost easier, though, to be part of the action and not watching it from 1,600 miles away.

“Then I was into it, reaching out to players and things,” he said of his role during the cleanup from Rita. “Now it ’s different because you get the text messages, you get the phone calls. How are you? Is everything OK? It ’s differ-ent. Mentally, it ’s different. It ’s helpless. You want to do things.”

Henry is trying. Some of his former players have reached out, and he attempts to put them in touch with specific problems that he hears about. Such as the cop just out of the academy with two young kids whose roof was blown off his house. One of Henry ’s former receiv-ers stepped in and is taking care of that.

“They ’re helping,” Henry said. “That ’s always good, helping families with immediate needs. It ’s more per-sonal. You know exactly who you’re helping and who it ’s going to.”

Others are doing their part, too, on a broader scale. Odell Beckham Jr., who was coached by Henry at LSU as well as with the Giants, started a fundraising effort with a donation of $100,000 last week. The Mara and Tisch families, owners of the Giants, made a $1-million donation on behalf of the franchise.

“[Henry] knows we are a family-first organization and anything that Adam needs, or the players whose fami-lies are involved in any of these situations need, we have resources to help and lend a hand if need be,” McAdoo said.

Giants Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, who went to high school in Houston, is taking part in a celebrity tele thon — organized by Beaumont rapper Bun B and fea-turing other celebrities — that will take place Tuesday across all of the television networks. And most notable, perhaps, has been Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt ’s fundraising, which started out hoping to reach $200,000 and has eclipsed $30 million.

Right now, Henry said, the things that are needed most in the area are cleaning supplies. Gloves, brooms, bleach.

“They have nothing,” Henry said. “How can you clean your home when everything in your home is lost? When you have to gut it out? The mess is there — how do we clean up the mess?”

HENRY FAMILY REUNION EXTRA SPECIAL

This was supposed to be a big weekend for Henry. Not only are the Giants playing the Cowboys, not only is he going to see his family, but he is being inducted into the McNeese State Hall of Fame, too. The timing could not have been better. He had planned to drive there for a brief ceremony yesterday before heading back to Dallas to join the team.

Now?

“The line between Texas and Louisiana you can’t really cross because of the water,” he said. “They closed I-10.”

He still was hoping to figure out a way to get there late this week, to stop by his alma mater, even just for a few minutes. And then he would meet up with the rest of the Henrys in Dallas.

Some of them returned to Houston late last week to assess the damage to their homes and take stock of what they ’ll need. There will be a lot of work to do, a lot of cleaning and rebuilding.

“Things like that you try to navigate through,” Henry said. “It ’s tough.”

But those who went to Houston also will be coming back to Dallas to take part in what has become a family tradition. This one, of course, will be more special than some of the others. Just because they ’ll all be there. All safe. There were times during the past two weeks when no one was certain that would be possible.

“It ’s one of those things where you text and go back and forth and it kind of hits home,” Henry said of the impor-tance of loved ones. “It ’s just such a blessing to have your family and everyone safe in the midst of everything that ’s going on.

“With all the tragedies, to have your family safe is a big deal.”

The incredible story of Aldrick Rosas’ journey from small Oregon school to Giants’ kicker

north of the California border.

SOU is a member of the NAIA, which is an association of mostly small schools not regulated by the NCAA. Rosas made 25-of-32 field goals (78 percent) with a long of 48 yards in two seasons at SOU.

That wasn’t exactly the resume of a future NFL kicker.

“In the NAIA, no one in the locker room is going to the NFL,” Rosas said. “It was a dream that was so far away.”

The dream was in serious jeopardy after Rosas tore the ACL in his kicking leg while making a tackle on a return with less than nine minutes remaining in SOU’s 55-31 win over Marian (Ind.) University in the 2014 NAIA na-tional championship game.

“I hit him and my knee just buckled,” Rosas said. “We blew them out, so I could have let him go and we would have been fine.”

Rosas struggled to navigate SOU’s hilly campus on crutches in the spring of 2015, so he decided to transfer to Butte College, the same school Rodgers had attended.

“(SOU) was real expensive. I was missing a lot of class,” Rosas said. “So I just said, ‘Ahh, screw it, I’m going to come home.’ “

Rosas’ knee wasn’t healthy enough to kick in the fall of 2015 and he was running into roadblocks with getting his credits to transfer to other schools.

“After the surgery, he didn’t know what to do,” Hernan-dez said. “He was tripping out. His mind was gone. He was going depression-wise. I just said, ‘Relax, dude. Don’t worry. The leg is still there. You’ve just got to go work.’ “

Unbeknownst to Rosas during his time of uncertainty, he had landed on the radar of veteran NFL agent Derrick Fox.

GOING FOR IT

Fox has been an agent for nearly 30 years, mostly nota-bly representing five-time Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith during a 16-year career. The Southern California-based Fox also has found a niche representing specialists, with Cowboys punter Chris Jones and Bills punter Colton Schmidt currently on his client roster.

By Dan DugganNJ Advance Media for NJ.comSeptember 10, 2017

December 19, 2014.

Aldrick Rosas can immediately cite the exact date of the last time he kicked in a game that counted.

It ’s a day that Rosas will never forget for different rea-sons. He was the kicker for the Southern Oregon Univer-sity (SOU) team that won the NAIA national champion-ship and he tore the ACL in his right knee while making a tackle on a return late in the game.

Nearly three years have passed since Rosas connected on a pair of field goals in front of a crowd of 1,941 in that national championship game. On Sunday night, Rosas will kick for the Giants against the Cowboys in front of 90,000 fans at AT&T Stadium.

So how did Rosas go from the lowest level of college football to kicking for a Super Bowl contender seem-ingly overnight?

‘A DREAM THAT WAS SO FAR AWAY’

Rosas grew up in Orland, California, a farm town of 7,000 located 100 miles north of Sacramento. He started kicking while at Orland High, but was known more as a running back and hard-hitting linebacker/safety.

“His brother was a free safety and them two back there were meaner than hell. You didn’t go across the middle with those guys. He’s an animal,” Abel Hernandez said of the 6-foot-3, 221-pound Rosas. “Don’t worry about a tackle. He will crush somebody.”

Hernandez has worked with kickers in the Orland area for 20 years, including Colts rookie punter Rigoberto Sanchez. Hernandez had heard about Rosas for a few years before they started working together before Ro-sas’ senior season.

Northern California is an under-recruited area. Case in point: Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is from nearby Chico, spent a year at a local community college before earning a scholarship to Cal. So, it was no sur-prise that Rosas didn’t have any Division 1 scholarship offers. He received a 20 percent scholarship to SOU, so he decided to attend the small school located 15 miles

Page 285: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

Fox first heard of Rosas during the fall of 2014 from a friend at the College of Idaho, who had witnessed Rosas booming kickoffs out of the end zone. Fox didn’t give much thought to a sophomore kicker at an NAIA school at the time.

Then in the fall of 2015, a scout from the Eagles men-tioned to Fox that there was talk that Rosas could enter the 2016 draft. The scout suggested giving the under-the-radar prospect with a powerful leg a look and Fox made a mental note to follow up on the recommenda-tion.

Then in February of 2016, Mycal Swaim, a former client from Chico, told Fox that he needed to check out Rosas. Finally, Fox and Rosas connected.

Despite having two years of college eligibility remain-ing, Rosas had already declared for the 2016 draft be-fore the mid-January deadline.

“I was starting to call schools and the closer it was getting to the deadline, I was like, ‘You know what, (forget) it. I’m just going to go. School is always going to be there. I feel like I’m in the greatest physical shape right now,’ “ Rosas said. “And I just went for it.”

The decision shocked Hernandez.

“If he was my son, I don’t think so,” Hernandez said. “But he was just like, ‘I’m done. I’m going.’ There was nothing I could say. The only thing I could say was, “Let ’s go!’ “

Rosas tried unsuccessfully to get invited to a pro days at Division 1 schools to get seen by NFL scouts. Fox re-quested film that he could send to teams, so Rosas and Hernandez went to a local field with a video camera.

Fox sent the film to all 32 special teams coaches. Titans special teams coach Steve Hoffman showed the most interest, requesting additional film.

Hoffman was sold and the Titans promised to sign Ro-sas as an undrafted free agent.

“I had the guy at College of Idaho, I had the guy at the Eagles and I had the client, but I needed a special teams coach from the NFL,” Fox said. “Once Hoffman got on, because of my respect for Steve, I just went, ‘Hey, Aldrick, we’re going to run with this thing.’ “

The Titans gave Rosas a $1,000 signing bonus after the 2016 draft. Fox knew Rosas faced long odds to unseat

veteran kicker Ryan Succop, but the exposure in preseason games was invaluable to the unknown 21-year-old.

Rosas was perfect last preseason, but he only attempted one field goal and four extra points. The Titans waived Rosas on cut-down day at the end of the preseason.

“This time last year I was on a plane home really wonder-ing what was in the future,” Rosas said.

But NFL teams, including the Giants, saw enough to ensure future opportunities for Rosas.

‘A DREAM COME TRUE’

The Giants’ kicking situation was a mess last season due to the domestic violence saga involving Josh Brown. The Gi-ants cut unproven Tom Obarski and signed veteran Randy Bullock in the preseason after it was announced that Brown would be suspended for the opener.

The Giants held a workout for kickers days before last season’s opener that included veterans Shayne Graham and Cody Parkey, and Rosas. Rosas performed well, but the Giants went back to Brown after his suspension ended.

When the Giants cut Brown after more domestic violence accusations surfaced in Week 7, they signed veteran Robbie Gould. Meanwhile, Rosas had workouts with the Vikings and Cowboys, but remained unsigned for the entire season.

“Special teams coaches in the NFL hate to have a guy that ’s never kicked on Sunday come in in the middle of the sea-son,” Fox said. “That ’s what we faced all last year.”

While the Giants didn’t sign Rosas, assistant general man-ager Kevin Abrams called Fox every 2-3 weeks to reiterate the team’s interest in the young kicker. As soon as the sea-son ended, the Giants signed Rosas to a futures contract.

The Giants told Fox that they didn’t plan to bring in anoth-er kicker, allowing special teams coordinator Tom Quinn to focus all of his energy on refining Rosas’ technique. Fox was skeptical, but Rosas was the only kicker on the roster all offseason until veteran Mike Nugent was signed in the first week of training camp.

A tight competition ensued, with Rosas and Nugent both making every kick they attempted in the pre-season. Nugent turned up the heat by nailing 50- and 54-yard field goals in the third preseason game. But Rosas responded by connecting on four field goals, in-cluding a 48-yard game-winner as time expired against the Patriots in the preseason finale.

Rosas’ performance sealed the kicking job, which be-came official two days later when the Giants cut Nu-gent.

“It was a dream come true,” Rosas said. “It was a mo-ment of excitement. There were just a lot of feelings that I can’t even explain. But I’m grateful for the op-portunity.”

It ’s an opportunity that was completely improbable two years ago.

“He answered every obstacle that was put in front of him and he always has,” Fox said. “That ’s why it ’s such a great underdog story. He could have tripped himself along the way, but he just didn’t. And this is just the beginning.”

Giants’ Aldrick Rosas meets 1st child hours after NFL debut (with private jet assist from Steve Tisch)

Rosas said he told head coach Ben McAdoo about the impending birth about a week ago, and McAdoo was nothing but supportive. He considered leaving the team for the birth no matter what, but decided it was best to stay with the club.

“I saw it all (on the phone),” he said. “I was kind of floating everywhere. (To hold her) was amazing, it ’s a feeling you can’t really describe. I was told that all the time, and what a special moment it was when I first got to hold her. She’s an angel; she doesn’t make a sound or cry. She’s good, she’s healthy.”

By James KratchNJ Advance Media for NJ.comSeptember 13, 2017

Aldrick Rosas had two dreams come true Sunday.

The Giants’ first-year kicker accounted for the team’s only points in his debut, hitting a 25-yard field goal in the Giants’ 19-3 loss at the Cowboys.

That kick came just hours after his girlfriend, Tiffany Lopez, gave birth to their first child together, a baby girl named Karsyn, near their home in Orland, California.

“It was the best day I could have,” an exhaused, but elated, Rosas said Wednesday at his locker.

Rosas and Lopez had planned to induce labor on Mon-day in order to take advantage of the Giants’ back-to-back off days before they returned to work Wednesday, but the baby came early.

Rosas was able to watch the child’s birth via FaceTime on his iPhone. He then flew to Burbank, Calif., on Giants co-owner Steve Tisch’s private jet immediately after the game and caught a connecting flight to Sacramento in order to meet Lopez and the newborn before flying back across the country, returning to the Giants’ facility be-fore 6 a.m. Wednesday.

“It ’s been a crazy journey so far,” Rosa said, “and now I’m just taking it day by day and continuing to grow professionally, and as a father and a family.”

Rosas said he received a call Lopez was in labor around midnight Central time on Saturday night. The baby then arrived at 4:15 a.m.

Giants tight end Matt LaCosse was the first teammate to know - he was Rosas’ roommate at the team hotel. Rosas said once he got word, he called/woke up long snapper Zak DeOssie, who has a child, to help talk him through the experience.

“It ’s so amazing that the organization would even do that, coming from the owner and everybody working to-gether to make my dream come true and meeting her,” Rosas said. “It says a lot about this organization and family and togetherness. I’m extremely grateful. What a huge and special opportunity I got to be a part of.”

XLII memories from the Giants’ Super Bowl XLII championship season

III

On Sept. 1, 2007, Strahan decided to report to the Gi-ants. He missed all of training camp and the preseason, incurring a hefty fine to boot.

IV

With Strahan on the field, the Giants went to Dallas and gave up 45 points in a loss to the Cowboys. Tony Romo threw four touchdown passes and Big Blue allowed nearly 500 total yards of offense.

V

The Packers scored 21 fourth-quarter points to spoil the Giants’ home opener as Brett Favre threw three touch-down passes in a 35-13 Week 2 victory.

VI

Then-wide receivers coach and current offensive coordi-nator Mike Sullivan, a former Army Ranger, suggested to Coughlin that the team meet a friend of his, Lt. Col. Greg Gadson. Gadson lost both his legs and severely injured his right arm to a roadside bomb in Baghdad just four months prior, and his presence and inspirational speech became a rallying point for the players.VII

No better place did Gadson’s words hit home than on the goal line in the closing moments against Washington. The Giants were 0-2 and may have been on the verge of another season-breaking loss when the defense stood tall. They tripped up Ladell Betts on a fourth-and-goal run from the 1-yard line in the final minute to preserve a 24-17 victory. It was the first of six straight wins.

“That was the epitome of our season,” Strahan told NFL Films.

VIII

Two weeks later, the Giants trailed the Jets by 10 points at halftime before rallying. Manning threw a pair of second half touchdowns to Jeremy Shockey and Plaxico Burress, and Aaron Ross intercepted Chad Pennington and returned it for the game-sealing touchdown.

By Art StapletonThe RecordSeptember 15, 2017

It was one of the greatest upsets in Super Bowl history as the New York Giants denied the New England Patri-ots’ pursuit of perfection by winning Super Bowl XLII a decade ago in Glendale, Arizona.

The franchise will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of that championship this weekend, beginning Friday night at the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Champions for Chil-dren Gala and continuing Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium with the Yankees doing their part in pre-game festivities prior to their 4:05 p.m. game against the Bal-timore Orioles.

Then, come Monday night, at halftime of the Giants’ home opener against the Detroit Lions, the 2007 team will be honored with more than 40 representatives ex-pected in attendance at MetLife Stadium.

There were plenty of memories and enough ups and downs for a lifetime from that unforgettable season. Here is a look at 42 of them:

I

Nearly three weeks into training camp, one that did not include eventual Hall of Famer Michael Strahan as he contemplated whether to play that season, old school coach Tom Coughlin cancelled team meetings in Albany and instead brought his players bowling.

It was the first sign that Coughlin was softening his militant approach with his team, and ultimately his connection with the players themselves proved to be a tremendous asset.

II

Retired Giants running back Tiki Barker ridiculed the leadership capability of Eli Manning in his new gig as TV commentator, calling the quarterback’s attempts at trying to do so “comical.”

The Giants took notice when Manning fired back at Barber, saying: “I’m not going to lose any sleep about what Tiki has to say.” For the first time, teammates ral-lied around Manning’s decision to speak out and defend himself.

Page 289: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

IX

The Giants beat the Dolphins in the first ever London game before 81,000-plus at a soggy Wembley Stadium. The most memorable play in the game: Manning’s 10-yard TD scramble to the left pylon in which he outraced Dolphins defensive end and future Hall of Famer Jason Taylor for the score.

X

The Giants returned from their bye and lost to the Cow-boys again with Romo again doing most of the damage with four touchdowns.

XI

The worst game of Manning’s career led many to de-clare the season dead: three of his four interceptions against the Vikings were brought back for touchdowns in a 41-17 late November loss.

XII

A game-tying field goal by the Eagles’ David Akers sailed wide in Philadelphia, allowing the Giants to escape, seemingly moving beyond the disappointment of the Vikings’ debacle with their ninth victory. Or so it seemed ...

XIII

An uninspiring performance against Washington in the Meadowlands was compounded by the season-ending loss of Shockey. The Pro Bowl tight end was hurt on the first possession of the second half when teammate Am-ani Toomer rolled into the back of his leg from behind at the end of a running play.

XIV

Ahmad Bradshaw burst onto the scene with an 88-yard touchdown, sparking the Giants’ 21-0 comeback in the fourth quarter en route to a 38-21 victory in Buffalo.

XV

Kawika Mitchell and Corey Webster each returned interceptions for touchdowns against the Bills, with Webster’s pick serving as a bit of foreshadowing for greatness down the road.

XVI

Tom Brady chuckled when a reporter asked if the Giants - their playoff spot already clinched - should play their starters against the 15-0 Patriots in Week 17. The Patriots’ quarterback suggested Coughlin should sit Strahan.

XVII

Not surprising, but Coughlin did not listen. He played all of his starters against the Patriots and the Giants put forth their best effort of the season. Manning threw four touch-downs, but Brady and the Patriots escaped, 38-35.

XVIII

Coughlin and the Giants were praised around the league for their effort. Included in that show of respect was a voicemail from Hall of Famer and coaching legend John Madden, who told Coughlin: “Just called to congratulate you and your team for a great effort last night. Not good, but great. I think it ’s one of the best things to happen in the NFL in the last ten years, and I don’t know if they all know it, but they should be very grateful to you and your team for what you did.”

XIX

Another week, a playoff game, and another barb from a Barber as Tiki’s brother Ronde took a shot at Manning by saying he could “be had.” Manning answered with his first playoff win, completing 20 of 27 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and most importantly, no interceptions.

XX

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones placed two tickets for the NFC Championship Game on the stool in front of every Dal-las player’s locker before the contest. It was intended to be motivation for the Cowboys, who finished the regular season as NFC East champs with a 13-3 record.

The Giants got wind of Jones’ actions and Coughlin made sure his players knew what had transpired before taking the field.

XXI

Amani Toomer opened the scoring in the NFC divisional game with a 52-yard touchdown from Manning, weaving around the Cowboys defense for a 7-0 lead.

Page 290: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

XXII

The Cowboys responded, taking a 14-7 lead when Mar-ion Barber scored from one yard out with 53 seconds left in the half, seemingly taking control of the game.

XXIII

That ’s when Manning engineered a rousing drive over the final seconds of the second quarter, again finding Toomer, this time from four yards out to tie the score at 14.

XXIV

Brandon Jacobs scored with 13:29 remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Giants the lead over the Cowboys, but there would be one final hurdle to over-come ...

XXV

That happened when R.W. McQuarters intercepted Romo in the end zone on the game’s final series, punching the Giants’ ticket to the NFC title game.

XXVI

Lambeau Field. Temperature of minus-1, wind chill of minus-23. Coughlin’s face.

Enough said.

XXVII

Lawrence Tynes missed two fourth-quarter field goals, including a potential game-winner, and the NFC title game went to overtime.

XXVIII

Webster stepped in front of Donald Driver and inter-cepted Favre at the start of overtime, stunning the crowd inside the Frozen Tundra. That ball now belongs to Lt. Col. Gadson.

XXIX

Tynes got another chance, running off the sideline before Coughlin even called for him. He kicked the longest post-season field goal in Lambeau Field post-season history (47 yards) to send the Giants to the Super Bowl.

XXX

The Giants boarded their charter flight to Arizona dressed in all black. “We’re going to a funeral,” Strahan said. “We were either going to a funeral for the Giants or we’re go-ing to a funeral for the Patriots.”

XXXI

Plaxico Burress was asked for a Super Bowl prediction and he said “23-17 Giants.”

Asked for a response that week, Brady said with a laugh: “We’re only gonna score 17 points? OK.”

XXXII

If the Giants were lacking confidence, Coughlin’s mood boosted their morale. He was as composed as can be, as ev-idenced by his ordering of a burger truck from In-and-Out. The players watched from the team buses after practice as Coughlin downed a burger dripping with all the trimmings.

XXXIII

David Tyree dropped just about every pass thrown to him in practice the Friday before Super Bowl XLII. The Giants were not sure if Burress would be able to play, and it would be Tyree as his replacement. Manning made certain to meet up with Tyree immediately after practice, telling him he still had faith in him for Sunday.

XXXIV

The Giants had Brady on the run from the outset, with Jus-tin Tuck playing extremely well on the interior.

XXXV

Tyree finally caught one. His touchdown reception, a 5-yarder from Manning, gave the Giants a 10-7 lead with 11:05 to go.

XXXVI

The Patriots had an answer and got within 2:42 of per-fection when Brady found Moss from six yards out and a 14-10 lead.

Page 291: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

XXXVII

NFL Films cameras captured Strahan standing in front of the offense before the Giants took the field. “17-14 is the final, OK?” he said. “17-14, fellas. One touch-down, we are world champions. Believe it, and it will happen. 17-14’s the final. Let ’s go.”

XXXVIII

The escape.

On third-and-five from their own 44 with 1:15 left on the clock, Manning was under duress. Patriots’ de-fenders Adalius Thomas, Richard Seymour and Jarvis Green all had their hands on him at some point. Man-ning joked he thought about flipping the football to right guard Chris Snee, but instead kept moving his legs, getting away long enough to see a white jersey downfield.

XXXIX

Manning’s aerial into the crowd found its way to Tyree, who famously stuck the ball to the helmet with his hand as the Giants’ receiver and Patriots safety Rodney Har-rison tumbled to the ground. It was the greatest catch in Super Bowl history: 32 yards.

XL

One of the most underappreciated plays in Giants his-tory made Burress’ heroics possible. Steve Smith caught a pass that went for 12 yards on a third-and-11, setting the stage for what happened one play later.

XLI

Burress watched video of Patriots corner Ellis Hobbs and noticed he stopped his backpedal in red zone situations when he retreated to the goal line. So when Hobbs was in single coverage against him, Burress knew exactly how he’d play this one.

The star wide receiver ran right past Hobbs and to the left corner of the end zone where Manning hit him with a perfect back corner fade. Thirteen yards. Touchdown. Ball game.

XLII

Strahan. Manning. Coughlin. The Vince Lombardi Tro-phy.

Of all the lasting images from the 2007 season, that may have been the most unexpected - and the most reward-ing - the trio of Giants leaders and the NFL’s most prized possession riding a float in the Canyon of Heroes in New York City.

Steve Spagnuolo allows himself brief walk down memory lane with his Super Bowl defense

“He talked deeply about what it was like and how your family is so involved in all the ups and downs and they do,” Spagnuolo said. “They share the pain and the glory and then when you accomplish that, how much you feel that it was for them. How much they feel a part of it.”

Spagnuolo did not want to reflect too much, though. After all, he does have another defense he is trying to win games with.

“I got to stop talking and thinking about that,” Spag-nuolo chuckled. “I got to be thinking about Detroit, you took me right back there where I was trying not to go, but it was great.”

By John HealyNY Daily NewsSeptember 17, 2017

Steve Spagnuolo found the perfect way to help him get over Sunday ’s loss to the Cowboys.

The Giants defensive coordinator got a visit from Fred Robbins, the defensive tackle from the 2007 Super Bowl champion team, on Friday as the franchise will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Super Bowl XLII during Mon-day ’s game.

“It was great,” Spagnuolo said. “He picked me up from my thought of having lost the game.”

Spagnuolo was a significant piece in the Giants’ cham-pionship run that year, presiding over a defense that sacked Patriots quarterback Tom Brady five times in the 17-14 upset victory.

But Spagnuolo will not be a part of the celebration on Monday night, or any other events throughout the week-end honoring the team.

Instead, he will be busy figuring out schemes to defeat the Detroit Lions, but just getting to see his former play-ers is enough for Spagnuolo.

“I have thought about it because the guys have been around,” Spagnuolo said on Friday. “I’m hoping that at practice on Sunday morning, that a bunch of the guys will come over and to me, it ’s about seeing them more than anything and I hope they have a great time. They should enjoy it. It was a great accomplishment. It really is all about the players.”

Spagnuolo did get a chance to reflect on the memory that stands out most to him.

“I couldn’t find Maria,” Spagnuolo said, referring to his wife. “When the game was over, I could not find her. I must have spent the first 15 minutes, I missed all of that. I never got to hold the Lombardi Trophy and then finally I found her, which was to me the best moment.”

Spagnuolo finally got to hold the Lombardi Trophy at the team’s ring ceremony, but he pointed to a speech Tom Coughlin made the night before about how if they won the whole family wins.

Why NFL’s first London game 10 years ago was a messy success

(two for 14) as his top targets. His Miami counterpart, Cleo Lemon, whose NFL career included only eight starts, was marginally better, completing 17 of 30 passes for 149 yards and a score.

“It was a rainy, nasty day, and the field was not equipped for 300-pound men,” Manning said. “We dug it up. It was a mud-fest. It was a good day to run the football, which we did well, but low scoring.”

Making their first trip to London, the Ravens have just two items on their agenda this weekend: beat the Jag-uars and fly home.

Behind Brandon Jacobs’ 131 yards, the Giants ran for 189 yards and built a 13-0 halftime lead, only to see the Dolphins, in the midst of a dismal 1-15 season, make it close late with a Lemon-to-Ted Ginn Jr. touchdown at the two-minute mark.

To the fans in London, however, football was football (or, at least, American football was American football), and after years of having their appetites for the sport whet-ted, this was the real thing.

“That ’s the great thing about football,” said Mark Waller, the NFL’s executive vice president of interna-tional operations. “Every phase of this contributes to the next. We wouldn’t have gone on to play regular-season games had we not played the NFL Europe. This is just how things evolve -- sports are built over tens of de-cades, and it takes time.”

That evolution is personified by Ravens rookie offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor, who was born in London and moved to the United States less than a year after the game.

Ravens offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor explains where his love for football started while growing up in London.

“It meant a lot to me,” said Eluemunor, a fifth-round draft pick out of Texas A&M. “Without that game, I wouldn’t be standing here in the Ravens locker room. That really was my first taste of American football.

“While I was playing high school and college football, I’d always think about it, like where would I be if I hadn’t switched the channel to that game?”

It’s no surprise the NFL has found a home in London, a city with a decade of regular-season games in its past and a full-time franchise potentially in its future.

It ’s also no surprise that the league found its way there in the first place, after a foundation had been laid by the developmental NFL Europe and years of preseason games starting with the Global Cup in 1983 and continu-ing with the American Bowl series.

What is a surprise is that the league ever decided to return to England after a bleak regular-season debut there 10 years ago.

Eli Manning passed for just 59 yards during the Giants’ 2007 win over the Dolphins in the first NFL regular-season game played in London. “It was a rainy, nasty day, and the field was not equipped for 300-pound men,” Manning said.

As the NFL prepares to kick off its 2017 International Series with the first of four games in London -- Sunday ’s matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Jackson-ville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium -- the powers that be must be checking the precipitation percentages closely.

On Oct. 28, 2007, one of the sloppiest, soggiest and sorriest games in NFL history took place at Wembley between the New York Giants, who would go on to shock the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII at season’s end, and the winless Miami Dolphins.

That 2007 “mud-fest,” as Giants quarterback Eli Man-ning dubbed it, will never be remembered as one of the game’s classics. The 13-10 New York victory included just 483 yards of combined total offense, with a mere 168 combined passing yards.

Looking back on that day, two things stick out for Man-ning: the strange -- that his rushing touchdown, one of just five in his career, was the first TD in a regular-season NFL game outside of North America; and the stranger -- the streaker who sprinted onto the field before the start of the third quarter.

Manning finished 8-for-22 for 59 yards, with Jeremy Shockey (three catches for 26 yards) and Plaxico Burress

Until then, one of the persistent gripes among Ameri-can football fans in Europe had been the desire to see their favorite NFL stars in the flesh. The last exhibi-tion game in London had been in 1993. And while NFL Europe -- which debuted in 1991 as the World League of American Football, with an original franchise in London, and folded in 2007 -- produced future NFL luminaries such as Kurt Warner, Dante Hall and Jake Delhomme, the Q rating wasn’t exactly there.

Though the Giants and Dolphins didn’t treat the Wemb-ley crowd to the sport at its finest, the fans appreciated what they saw. Waller said all 84,000-plus seats sold out in less than 90 minutes. To hype the event, the NFL paraded a 26-foot-tall robotic version of star Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor around London.

“Never underestimate how grateful fans are to get real games,” said Waller, who was born in South Africa to British parents. “Just the fact a team was willing to give up a home game to go to the UK to play, that meant a lot to fans. These are smart fans. They ’re smart fans of American football, soccer, rugby. They know there are good games and less good games, but you don’t stop loving a sport or a team because a game doesn’t quite live up to expectations.

“Would you rather have a bad game or no game at all? Ninety-nine percent would say a bad game.”

While the quality of play was forgettable, the atmo-sphere was anything but. Giants long snapper Zak DeOssie, along with Manning one of two players still active with the Giants, recalls seeing a “smorgasbord of jerseys representing all 32 teams, it seemed.”

“It was incredible,” DeOssie said. “At the time, I was just doing punt snaps, but I’ve never seen a crowd so excited for field goals and kickoffs. Lawrence Tynes (the Giants’ place-kicker and born in Scotland) felt like a superstar. I think the crowd was more excited for kick-offs than touchdowns.”

Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga treated the first NFL regular-season game played outside of North America as a landmark event. Then-Dolphins defensive coordi-nator Dom Capers, now with the Green Bay Packers, said Huizenga flew out all the wives and families of the coaches and rented out the Tower of London for a team party.

“Wayne went overboard and treated it almost like a Super Bowl,” Capers said.

For Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora, it was an un-rivaled experience. The London native was ecstatic to be playing in his home country, which he’d departed when he was only 6, first to Nigeria and then to the United States.

“I left London in ‘87, and I hadn’t been back, and when I found out I was playing a game where I was born, it was crazy to me,” he said. “To play a regular-season game overseas, and to play in London, it was an amazing feel-ing. A lot of my family came in from Nigeria.”

Umenyiora remembers it being “a unique bonding experi-ence” for the Giants.

“Once we got to London, it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had on a team before,” he said. “You have training camp where you’re together all the time, but for us to be together like that in another country, experi-encing different cultures, going around, always together. In the NFL, once training camp is over, you’re there from 8 to 4 and everyone goes their separate ways.”

Manning had his family and friends with him in London, as well, and recalled the team’s victory celebration.

“After the game we stayed in the city, and we had the whole team gathered at one spot, with guys on the mic announc-ing other guys coming in,” Manning said.

Aside from the poor field conditions, the game went off without a hitch. Since then, the NFL has been expanding its international footprint. In 2013, the league added a second London game to the schedule, and in 2014 a third. A new high will be set with this season’s four games. There is also a regular-season game scheduled in Mexico City for the second consecutive year.

Waller said a significant number of fans will be returning for their 11th season of watching the NFL in London.

“One of the coolest things, and not just that game, but all of them, is fans come from thousands of miles away,” Waller said. “We had German fans there, Dutch fans, a bunch of fans from Finland and Norway. One of the things that is remarkable about sports is you love to gather with other people who love what you love.”

HOF lineman Jackie Slater says Giants OT Chad Wheeler ‘has an unbelievable amount of potential’

to step right in and compete for a full game against “top-shelf talent,” as Slater describes Giants defensive ends Olivier Vernon and Jason Pierre-Paul. Wheeler hasn’t gotten a snap through two weeks, despite being the first backup tackle on the depth chart. Ben McAdoo replaced injured right tackle Bobby Hart with left guard Justin Pugh in Monday night ’s loss, and the coach said he’s sticking with Flowers for Sunday ’s Week 3 visit to Philly.

But the point is Wheeler is intensely focused on learning and honing proper technique and translating it to the games. In the fourth preseason game at New England, for example, Wheeler stood up a Patriots defensive end in his tracks with an interesting, upright base. After a strong performance that helped him make the team, Wheeler told the Daily News he had learned that specific technique from Slater.

He was already using it in a game.

“Jackie and I spent seven days together, two-to-three hours a day, and I just turned into a different football player,” Wheeler said Wednesday of Slater’s enormous impact on him.

“Chad has an unbelievable amount of potential primar-ily because he has an unemptying desire to grow and to learn his craft,” Slater said. “Playing offensive line is the most technical position in my opinion. At many positions in football, great athletic ability guarantees success. But relying on that exclusively as an offensive lineman will get you fired quicker than anything else. You have to rely on your technique and then use your athleticism to bail you out of bad situations.”

Slater said Wheeler ate up the knowledge the seven-time Pro Bowler tried to impart.

“I pretty much had to solve every problem as an offen-sive tackle in my career and saw everything you could see,” Slater said. “And as I began to share these things with Chad, he took notes, wrote it down, presented it to me, spit it back at me verbally, and I knew he was a conscientious guy who wanted to rep his family, uni-versity and team very well. He doesn’t want to be an average guy.”

By Pat LeonardNew York Daily NewsSeptember 20, 2017

Hall of Fame offensive tackle Jackie Slater put Gi-ants rookie tackle Chad Wheeler through a full week of individual instruction this summer in Orange, Calif., prior to Wheeler’s first NFL training camp. And Slater came away from their time together blown away.

Slater said in a phone interview with the Daily News on Tuesday that he saw and felt the same drive in Wheeler that Slater’s compatriots in Canton possess.

“When I go to Art Shell, ‘Big’ Bob Brown, or Ron Mix or Jonathan Ogden, all of these guys are very conscien-tious, they don’t want to let anybody down, and they want to be successful,” Slater, 63, said. “And when I saw Chad, it was the same thing I saw when I visited those men in Canton. I’m not putting him in the same echelon with those guys. He’s got a long way to go. But you’ve got to have a strong drive to be successful and be dominant to even attempt to do these things. And Chad has that.”

Slater, the father of Patriots special teams ace Matt Slat-er, played all 20 of his NFL seasons with the Rams, 19 of them in Los Angeles, and now coaches the offensive line at Azusa Pacific University, a half-hour east of L.A. He doesn’t mean to put too much pressure on Wheeler, a USC product the Giants signed as an undrafted free agent. He is simply trying to convey the work ethic Wheeler demonstrated in their time together.

“It ain’t all about the money with this kid,” Slater said. “Everybody ’s looking for that pay day, but I sense he wants to know how to be a problem solver. He wants to be able to think his way around the football field. When I got that sense, I became more willing and fired up about working with him and pouring that into him, because I was like that.”

Most intriguingly, Slater said Wheeler understands how much technique means for the success of an offensive lineman -- everything. This is noteworthy especially be-cause the man ahead of Wheeler on the Giants’ depth chart, starting left tackle Ereck Flowers, consistently receives criticism for playing with poor technique that leads to frequent pressure on Eli Manning.

Not that Slater expects Wheeler or any rookie lineman

Wheeler was one of several lineman to work with Slater this offseason. Carolina Panthers rookie Taylor Moton, a second-round pick, and Detroit Lions left tackle Greg Robinson also sought instruction from the Hall of Fam-er. But Slater still came away thoroughly impressed with the undrafted rookie Wheeler.

“I’m honored Chad would invest the time to come and try to grow and learn,” Slater said. “It says a lot about a young person, because so many of these young guys are so self-confident. They feel they ’ve got the answers, they played in college three or four years, and they can go to the next step and think they know it all. That ’s not the case with Chad. He’s a student of the game.”

Brad Wing gets a boost from Eli Manning pep talkthat was a very strong kick. “I’m the punter, it ’s the punt team, and I don’t ever want that to happen,” he said. Sunday ’s shank was more directly his fault.

“It was 1,000 percent on me,” he said. “Great snap, pro-tection was great, it was just about me.”

Breaking it down, Wing said he knew what happened right away.

“I got a little long in my stride and it caused my drop to be a little on the outside,” he said. “So when I swung up I had a bit of a cross swing and the ball shot off to the left.”

He said he’ll try not to dwell on it. Even though it was a costly mistake, it was still just one bad punt.

“That was the underlying theme from the vets is that one play doesn’t determine who you are as a player,” Wing said. “That ’s kind of the mentality you have to take.”

It ’s the mentality Manning shared with him.

“[It ’s great] to have a guy like Eli Manning, as good a resume as there is, to give you that guidance and show that he has that confidence in you as well,” Wing said. “He didn’t have to do that. I’m very lucky to have a teammate like him.”

By Tom RockNewsdaySeptember 27, 2017

Brad Wing was feeling pretty low in the Giants’ postgame locker room in Philadelphia, telling reporters he felt as though he had cost the team a win in each of the past two games.

There was a punt that was returned for a touchdown against the Lions in Week 2 and then the poor punt out of bounds that put the Eagles in position to win the game as time expired in Week 3.

“I feel like we’re a pretty good football team if I get my [stuff] together,” he said after that last performance. “I look forward to the challenge ahead. I think we’ll be a great team if I start to play like I know I can and like these guys know I can.”

By Wednesday, though, he was feeling much better.

Thanks, he said, to Eli Manning.

“I’m lucky enough to be in a locker room that has guys who have been through some tough times themselves,” Wing said on Wednesday. “I try to lean on those guys. I’m very lucky to have that at my disposal. It ’s been great to have the support of all the veteran players in here and pick their brains on how they approach a new week after a week in which you didn’t perform the way you wanted to.”

Manning, he said, made the most impact. The quarter-back saw Wing on Monday and, recognizing he was feel-ing down, gave him a pep talk that included some of his own miserable games.

“He’s been through the toughest at that position,” Wing said. “He’s obviously been through some tough games. He told me he’s had games where it was the game-winning drive and he throws an interception or doesn’t complete a pass. . . . I think if I’m feeling this I can’t imagine what he’s felt after games like that. But to see him be able to bounce back and carry himself the way he has -- he’s a Super Bowl champion, he’s been the MVP -- so to have someone like that to know that he’s been through some crap and see how they can turn it around is pretty comforting.”

Now, Wing just has to play better. He said he takes re-sponsibility for the punt return by the Lions even though

Inside Giants rookie Evan Engram’s first month in the NFL and what comes next

“My last year in college last year, we did not do as well as we expected, and I was that guy everybody was looking to on how to respond each and every day when things aren’t going our way,” Engram said. “I just feel from our leaders here now, I’ve been in their shoes with my previ-ous team, it ’s been unbelievable how guys have stuck together with the thought that this thing isn’t over yet, and we’re gonna get our first win.”

At 23, Engram has not disappointed since his arrival. His selection at No. 23 overall was a head-turner as the Gi-ants opted not to make a move up to draft O.J. Howard - considered the most complete tight end in the Class of 2017 coming out of Alabama - and passed on Cedar Grove’s David Njoku, who went 29th to the Browns.

Drafted 19th by the Buccaneers, Howard will be someone the Giants’ defense will have to keep an eye on. Engram expects to forever be compared to Howard and Njoku, both of whom he developed a friendship and respect dur-ing the pre-draft evaluation process.

Njoku caught his first touchdown two weeks ago. How-ard has been primarily used as a blocker in two-TE sets with Cameron Brate. Meanwhile, Engram has made an impact as a playmaker within the Giants’ offense, even if the overall production for the unit has yet to be good enough.

His 13 catches and 138 yards are in the Top 10 league-wide at the position (tied for seventh and ninth, respec-tively). He’s the only rookie included in that group.

Engram also scored his first career touchdown in Week 2. But that also came with a 15-yard celebration penalty on which officials claimed he grabbed his crotch while dancing. Engram insisted after the game the move was unintentional.

“You want to be looked at as one of the best tight ends in the league, not just the rookie class, so I pay attention to what everyone’s doing,” Engram said. “You come across stat lines, watching film of other guys to get better, see what some of the good tight ends in this league have done against the defenses we’re going to be going up against. I catch up with the other guys through that [pro-cess], not really comparing myself to them every week.”

By Art StapletonThe RecordSeptember 30, 2017

In what has been quite the blur, Evan Engram is nearly one month into his rookie season, one game to go be-fore the first quarter of that campaign is over.

The Giants’ tight end took a look around the locker room Friday afternoon and shook his head at the re-minder of how fast his introduction to the NFL has gone.

Big Blue has not started this season the way everyone hoped, losing its first three games. Suddenly, champi-onship aspirations have been replaced by a sense of urgency and the realization of long odds to reach the playoffs for the second straight year.

For Engram, the Giants’ first-round pick, the reality of three consecutive losses makes his transition to the pro game sting, even with acknowledgement that his arrival as a playmaker has seemingly been equally smooth.

“There’s definitely pressure to perform, you feel it,” En-gram told The Record and NorthJersey.com at his locker. “But everything’s starting to slow down a little bit in the game, getting used what’s being asked of me. It ’s been hectic, we’ve been trying to fight back, it ’s been real competitive, and hopefully we can turn this around in our favor and get on a run.”

When the Giants take the field inside Raymond James Stadium, in theory, they ’ll be the desperate team look-ing to save a season on the brink. But in the middle of the chaos this past week, from the overarching criticism of Odell Beckham Jr.’s “dog” touchdown celebration to the controversy involved in anthem protests league-wide, Engram has observed quiet leadership and a re-solve from veterans that have brought calm.

“We’re 0-3, but I look around, and everybody ’s still working really hard. Nobody ’s blinking. Nobody ’s pan-icking,” Engram said. “We’re just chasing our first win, putting our heads down and we know our run’s coming.”

Engram found himself in a different role last season at Ole Miss, which came out of the gates with such high expectations before stumbling. He was a locker room leader asked to set the tone mentally and emotionally as a four-year starter and two-year captain.

The Buccaneers are without linebacker Kwon Alexan-der and both Pro Bowl stars, linebacker Lavonte David and safety T.J. Ward are listed as doubtful. That should leave the middle of the field open for the Giants to attack, and you can bet Engram will be a part of that plan.

“The team performance definitely overshadows every individual performance I’ve had so far, especially with me. If we’re not winning, it ’s, I’m not doing enough,” Engram said. “I can go out and catch three touchdowns, but if we lose, it ’s not really enjoyable. So, definitely love going out there making plays for my team, going out there making plays and have big numbers and do what I can to help this team out, but the losing over-shadows all of that. I hope I can do something to help change that Sunday.”

Las Vegas massacre hits close to home for Giants’ Romeo Okwara

happens in New York, everyone is definitely shook and you can definitely feel that.”

By Dan DugganNJ Advance Media for NJ.comOctober 4, 2017

Giants defensive end Romeo Okwara awoke to an alarming text from his girlfriend on Monday morning.

“I woke up and I saw a text from her saying, ‘I’m all right. I wasn’t even close to there,’ “ Okwara said. “I didn’t know what happened.”

A quick internet search revealed the horror of the mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday night. Ok-wara’s girlfriend, Nicole Ameli, is a dental student at UNLV and lives 15 minutes from the Vegas Strip.

“She had classmates who were there,” Okwara said. “I had another friend who had a friend who got shot in the arm. He’s all right. Luckily it was in the arm, but it ’s crazy. You never know. Life is fragile.”

Giants defensive end Romeo Okwara, who is coming off a strong rookie season, prepared for Year 2 by training with a Navy SEAL in Las Vegas.

Okwara spent much of the offseason in Vegas with his girlfriend. He said they went into the city for dinners and shows regularly.

“That ’s something she could have been at,” Okwara said. “She could have easily been there. It ’s just crazy. It ’s very eye-opening.”

At least 59 people were killed and over 500 were injured when Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd of more than 22,000 at an outdoor country music festival from his room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel.

“I was just trying to find out as much as possible,” Ok-wara said. “I had some other friends who had family there and one of my trainers is out there, so I was just texting people to make sure they were all right and make sure there families were all right.”

No one close to Okwara was at the concert, but his girl-friend is still dealing with the shock of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

“She’s pretty shook because she could have easily been there,” Okwara said. “She had friends that were there. That ’s the city she grew up in. It ’s like when something

Low-key Wayne Gallman expected to be high-volume in Giants’ backfield

“He is just really a grinder who wants to focus on the task in front of him, learn as much as he can at this next level and get out there and do a great job.”

That ’s not exactly the kind of personality that many run-ning backs have. They often tend to run hard both on and off the field. Gallman, who said he prefers to stay indoors and hang around at home, lacks that quality, even if he bristles when it is put in some terms.

“I didn’t say I wasn’t flashy,” he said. “I just like to chill. Guys want to step out, I’ll step out, but I’m not going to be the first to do it.”

“Wayne does come out of his shell, but he takes football very seriously,” Carter said. “Wayne is just a solid guy who is always going to be focused, and every time he steps on the field, he is ready to go.”

When it comes to that, playing football, Gallman has a little more pizzazz to him.

Goodson said he was not surprised by the spark he brought to the team.

“His running style is just unique, it ’s different,” he said. “It kind of keeps you on your toes. It ’s different from other running backs. You don’t know what his next move is going to be.”

“I knew I could help,” Gallman said of the running game. “I felt like I did what I was told to do. I know what I can do and I know what I can show. It ’s pretty natural.”

The Giants aren’t going to hand the reins to Gallman right away. They have other running backs. But starter Paul Perkins will not play against the Chargers because of a rib contusion, so that leaves Gallman, Orleans Dark-wa and Shane Vereen in the backfield. The three have totaled 142 rushing yards on 36 carries (3.9 average). Perkins, who had the majority of the touches in the first month, has 61 yards on 32 carries (1.9 average).

“Each of those guys has a skill set they bring to the table and they all have to be ready,” offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan said. “We’re counting on all of them to be ready.”

“Every player has a role,” McAdoo said. “They play their role going into the game. If somebody gets hot, we’ll ride him.”

Coming into this game, Gallman is the hottest hand the Giants have. The hottest they ’ve had in a while.

By Tom Rock NewsdayOctober 7, 2017

Wayne Gallman bent to pick up something off the floor in front of his locker this past week, and when he turned around, he was startled to find a group of about 20 reporters with microphones and cameras pointed in his direction.

“Oh, wow,” he said at the crowd.

This is what happens when you go from an inactive rookie playing mostly on the scout team to one of the few bright spots the Giants’ running game has experi-enced in the last few years, and do so in the course of one game. One half of a game, really.

Gallman saw his first NFL action last Sunday against the Bucs and ran for 42 yards on 11 carries. He also caught two passes out of the backfield, one of them for a touchdown.

Given the lack of production by the other running backs on the team and the injuries at the position, it was a performance that, although far from spellbinding, should propel Gallman from the bottom of the depth chart to close to the top.

“He showed it wasn’t too big for him,” coach Ben McA-doo said of Gallman’s debut. “You saw the energy that Gallman brought to the game . . . Wayne’s a young player who plays fast. I think you saw the speed when he jumped onto the field. He has electricity in his game. He’s a talented young player.”

Other than all of that — the media attention and the praise from the head coach and the likely-to-be-in-creased role in the game plan Sunday against the Char-gers — life hasn’t changed all that much for Gallman.

“It ’s been pretty laid-back,” he said. “Trying to just be a homebody and get prepared for my day at practice.”

He’s been like that for a while.

“Very much the same,” Giants second-year linebacker B.J. Goodson, who played at Clemson with Gallman, said of the running back’s lack of off-the-field distrac-tions in college. “Not much has changed.”

“Wayne’s personality is very focused,” said his girl-friend, Alexis Carter, who is a senior and the starting point guard for the Clemson women’s basketball team.

Giants’ Brandon Marshall on mental health aware-ness: ‘That’s what I want my legacy to be’

“Back in the day, I had a few teammates come to me,” he said. “Every single year, it seems like we’ve had more, whether it ’s owners, NFL execs, players reaching out asking for help, whether it ’s for themselves or a loved on. We spoke at the NFL owners meeting, that was pow-erful to send that message.

“Right now, we’re 0-4, and I have teammates walking up to me in the locker room asking, ‘How do you deal with adversity? How are you coming out on the other side?’ I think that ’s a testament to our story, and our fight. Us being vulnerable with our story and our struggles. ... I’m excited to have the opportunity and the platform to speak into those guys’ lives, whether good or bad.”

The event brought out a star-studded guest list. Giants defensive tackle Damon Harrison and offensive lineman Bobby Hart were in attendance, as was NFL commis-sioner Roger Goodell, former Eagles linebacker Takeo Spikes and comedians Michael Rapoport and Keegan-Michael Key.

“It ’s everything. This is a starting point, this is how you change and break stigma,” Michi Marshall said. “It ’s getting the word out there, it ’s getting people involved, sharing with communities. The outpouring of support we have is phenomenal.”

Brandon Marshall said he had two goals with the event.

“We want to be able to raise money. That allows us to do the things that we do in the community - teach youth mental health first aid, with first responders in our school that make sure we prevent and intervene early,” he said.

“What if we were able to do that in my life? How better of a star would I have had? There are so many others that have the same story. My story isn’t unique. I wish we had youth mental health first aid in my school, I wish we had folks standing up on the table, raising awareness for what we like to think is a civil rights issue. It ’s the big-gest civil rights issue that we have in our country outside of the civil rights issues we’re in right now.

“The second thing is awareness. ... We always say a great example of where we’re at in our community is where the cancer and HIV community was 20 years ago. I think I say that in every one of our speeches talking about mental health, and it ’s so true. We have to make this an everyday topic. It ’s a taboo topic. A lot of us don’t understand it, and that ’s OK. But we have to be curious and vulnerable enough to have it and make changes.”

By James Kratch NJ Advance Media for NJ.comOctober 7, 2017

Giants wide receiver Brandon Marshall believes there are many NFL players in “dire need” of mental health assistance. The times he can offer help are “prob-ably some of my proudest moments in the NFL.

“You can throw out the 21 catches (in a game), the Pro Bowls, the contracts. In those moments, when faced with adversity and guys look at you, you can’t ask for any-thing better,” Marshall said Friday night prior to hosting the Project 375 Foundation’s Paddle Battle ping-pong tournament with his wife, Michi Marshall.

“That ’s what I want my legacy to be. I would love to win a Super Bowl. I would love to continue to have mon-ster years. But when I walk away from the NFL, I want my legacy to be that I changed the way we approached mental health.”

Friday ’s event was the third ‘Paddle Battle’ for Project 375, which works to raise awareness and improve care for those impacted with mental health issues. The event was specifically raising funds for the Project Prevention initiative, which “is designed to provide community resources to those in need as well as evoke productive conversations about mental fitness in an effort to stimu-late early intervention and prevention,” according to a release.

Marshall was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder in 2010 after a three-month treatment process at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts. Marshall has been a vocal advocate for mental health issues since his diagnosis, and the Marshalls have been outspoken about their struggles together earlier in their marriage.

The Marshalls have been involved in the mental health community for six years. When they started, he said “it was a totally different environment, totally different narrative.”

“It ’s almost an everyday topic now,” Brandon Marshall said. “But now we have to continue to fight, to make sure that we’re talking about it the right way. That we’re not playing into the stigma. We need to make sure that we have the resources necessary in our schools so we can intervene and prevent. It ’s come a long way. We’re here. We’re in the middle of it.”

Marshall said he’s seen the change both in society, as well as the NFL.

Four Giants players have dialogue with Newark po-lice, students

spoke with the players.

“It was a very honest conversation about policing, how involved it is, how challenging it is to be a police officer,” Holmes said.

Vernon has been one of those kneeling during the an-them. Holmes said protesting players have the backing from police in Newark, as well as from many African-American police associations in New Jersey and across the country that have been in contact with him.

“We wanted to let them know that we understand . . . that they ’re taking a knee to object to different injus-tices,” Holmes said. “We wanted them to know that we support them. We believe that as Newark police officers, especially Bronze Shields members, that we wanted to let them know everything we do in terms of community service, community involvement.”

The Giants have interlocked arms to show unity during the anthem at the three games since Trump’s comments.But Vernon, Harrison and Landon Collins stood out by kneeling at Philadelphia in Week 3. Harrison, Collins and Keenan Robinson raised a fist while Vernon knelt at Tampa Bay in Week 4. Then Robinson raised a fist and Vernon, who was injured and inactive, knelt before the Giants dropped to 0-5 with their loss to the Chargers on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Harrison decided against protesting again.“To be honest with you, man, I was scared,” Harrison said. “I pride myself on being a man who stands up for what I believe in. But . . . I took the coward route. I didn’t do what I felt was the right thing to do, which was why coming out here today was a little hard, because you look these kids in the eye and you tell them they can be whatever they want to be and they can do whatever they want to do.

“But you’ve got guys like me who aren’t using my plat-form correctly to be able to have their voices heard.”

It was just that he didn’t want to be a distraction to the team. Harrison indicated he has no plans to change course again. Vernon said he hopes his kneeling is mak-ing a difference. But the backlash toward the Miami na-tive has been intense.

“You get a lot of either hateful comments . . . [or] a lot of eyes that are looking at you in disgust,” Vernon said. “It ’s crazy how there’s just a lot of hate when you’re just trying to do good for your community and your country. It ’s very eye-opening.”

NEWARK — The JV football scrimmage was under-way late Monday afternoon on the turf at Weequahic High, and the crowd gathered behind one end zone was oblivious. These varsity and youth players were busy looking up at four Giants.

Defensive linemen Damon Harrison and Olivier Vernon, linebacker/tight end Mark Herzlich and offensive line-man Adam Bisnowaty were dressed in their blue jerseys. The foursome took turns trying to inspire the starry-eyed kids, stressing themes of doing the right thing, believing in yourself and concentrating on education.

“Athletic ability only takes you so far,” Harrison told them.

These Giants presented an oversize check symbolizing the team’s donation of $10,000 for football equipment at Weequahic after doing the same at Newark Central High. But the most fascinating aspect of the two off-day appearances was the journey to get to them.

The four players started out from police headquarters. They rode in a minibus with Newark mayor Ras Baraka and four of the city ’s police officers.

And the players and the police had a dialogue amid this controversial season of increased NFL player protests during the national anthem over racial inequality and police violence. They increased after President Donald Trump called those players an expletive and said they should be “fired.”

“It was an open conversation,” Harrison said. “It wasn’t just we’re coming here to tell our side, but it was also to hear perspective from the police officers, as well as the mayor . . . It was refreshing to hear officers’ thoughts on de-escalating situations, or situations that become violent and how to properly handle situations like that, and to know that they ’re taking steps, especially here in Newark, to make everything right.”

Vernon called it “a great opportunity, a very great learning experience.”

One of the day ’s sponsors was the Newark Bronze Shields. It ’s an African-American police association within the city ’s police department that includes 300 cops and 50 civilians. Sgt. Levi Holmes is the president of the association, and he was one of the officers who

Giants brought a piece of injured WR Odell Beckham to Denver for inspirationBy Dan DugganNJ Advanced Media for NJ.comOctober 16, 2017

Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. didn’t make the trip to Denver for Sunday ’s 23-10 win over the Bron-cos. Beckham was back home in the early stages of his recovery from the season-ending ankle surgery he un-derwent on Monday.

But Beckham was at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in spirit. And a piece of his equipment made the trip.

Punter Brad Wing, who is one of Beckham’s closest friends, brought the receiver’s helmet on the trip.

Reviewing the best and worst performances from the game.

Safety Landon Collins discovered the helmet on the Gi-ants’ sideline during the game.

“I saw B-Wing pointing at it, so I was like, ‘What is he pointing at?’ “ Collins said. “I saw it was Odell’s helmet, so I was like, ‘Shoot, we’ve got to represent.’ “

Collins said he tried to put the helmet on, but Beck-ham’s “head is too small.” Collins instead held up the helmet at the end of the Giants’ improbable upset over the Broncos.

“We just want to remind him that we haven’t forgot about him,” Collins said. “We’re going to represent for him.”

Beckham’s injury leaves a big void, as the Giants are trying to replace his historic production and the energy he brings to the team.

“He’s with us in a spirit, I guess,” defensive tackle Jay Bromley said. “We all know what he means to the team. I guess that ’s symbolism for him being with us in spirit.”

Jason Pierre-Paul honors young Giants fan with special danceBy Pat Leonard New York Daily NewsOctober 16, 2017

DENVER — Jason Pierre-Paul sent a message of support out to a special fan after recording his first of three sacks in Sunday night ’s 23-10 Giants win over the Broncos.

Pierre-Paul this past week had met with 7-year-old Hayden of the Garden of Dreams foundation, and Hayden, wearing Pierre-Paul’s No. 90 jersey, had shown the Giant defensive end his special dance.

“You know what? If I get a sack — which I am gonna get a sack, I’m gonna do your dance,” Pierre-Paul said.

Sure enough, when Pierre-Paul stripped the ball from Trevor Siemian and then tackled the Broncos QB, he got up and did Hayden’s dance.

Broadcaster and author Jill Martin tweeted videos side-by-side of Pierre-Paul’s promise and his fulfillment, a heartwarming moment on a feel-good night.

Orleans Darkwa on ballet, Kobe and Lonzo and al-ways being the underdog

Q: What is it like standing in the MetLife tunnel?A: You try not to think about everything, but you sit back and kind of recollect your thoughts: It ’s like, “Man, I’m here!” Every time I go through that tunnel, it ’s like, “I’m here!” And I see the video playing at the top of the board or whatever, I’m like, “Man, I’m here! I’m in the NFL! I’m like living my dream.” And it ’s like that every time I go through it. “Let ’s keep living our dream. Let ’s keep living it.”

Q: From your Twitter: “They used to look down on me, don’t look now I’m coming up.”A: (Smile) They looked down on me in every facet of football … high school, college, NFL … I was always the underdog. Nobody gave me a shot, and I always kind of rose to the top, and I’m still in that process now.

Q: Twitter: “The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it…” There seems to be a common thread here.”A: For me it ’s adversity, and trying to overcome that. ’Cause I feel like there’s no situation that ’s too big. I see things …just crazy stuff, like [Celtics forward] Gordon Hayward. You saw the injury. I was sitting in my room when it happened. And I’m just like, “Ohmigosh.” And I prayed for him instantly. I’ve seen [Thunder star and former Pacer] Paul George come back [a broken leg], so I know [Hayward is] gonna come back. I’ve just seen a lot of crazy stuff with injuries and how people’s mindset might just … they feel like crap. They feel like, “Oh, I’m not coming back from this.” Like man, there’s not an obstacle that you can’t conquer as long as you believe in yourself and you have that drive and that work ethic. I think that the sky ’s the limit for anybody,

Q: Did you tell that to Odell Beckham Jr.?A: Once it happened, I texted him. I didn’t even have to tell him like, “Man, you’re gonna be OK.” He knows.

Q: What did you text him?A: I told him that I was praying for him. And if any-body can come back from it, it ’s you, and I ain’t even gotta tell you that. Just tell him that I love him, man, you’re a brother to me, anything you need let me know. Sometimes it really sucks that it takes an injury to tell somebody that.

Q: You think he’ll be back as good as new next season?A: He’s gonna be even better. I think that ’s something that ’s gonna drive him even more. Something that kind of sets you back can motivate you, and he’s the type of guy that ’s gonna motivate him even more.

By Steve SerbyNY Post October 21, 2017

Giants running back Orleans Darkwa plows through some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby.

Q: From your Twitter feed: “I still remember the days I prayed for things I have now.”A: Prayer is one of the biggest things in my life, and prayer, I feel like, is one of the most powerful things. I pray every time I go on that practice field. I pray prob-ably about three times before kickoff. I pray with my mom before I get to the stadium. Even back in the days I was praying, I was just hoping, to be in the league. I prayed about it constantly. Even the times that I’ve had injury problems in college or whatever, I might have had an injury here or there, they thought it might derail my opportunities: Hey, the Lord has me. The Lord’s got my back. He’s never failed me, never will.

Q: Any favorite prayers?A: I wouldn’t say anything specific, it ’s what I’m feeling at that time. One thing I always tell God is, “No injuries shall prosper.” And I pray not just for myself, but my teammates and the opposing team ’cause you hate to see injuries. I’ve seen it, obviously I’ve been a victim of it. I don’t want to see anybody go down.

Q: You pray with your mom?A: I’ve been praying with her since high school. It prob-ably takes about five minutes. I do it every day of the game since high school. If it ’s a 1 o’clock game, we’ll probably pray at like 9 or 10.

Q: And this Sunday, for a 4:25 p.m. game?A: It ’ll probably be like 11 or so.

Q: And what does that do for you?A: It just let ’s me know I’m safe. God’s got my back, no matter what happens. And just to hear from my mom — ’cause obviously I’ve learned my faith through her, and how much energy she uses when she prays — it makes me feel comfortable and makes me calm and ready to go.

Q: What are your personal goals?A: I want to be that impact player for this team. I want to help this team win, and I feel like that ’s how I can do it.

Q: How do you like playing on the New York stage?A: I like it, man. They try to say New York isn’t for everybody. They say if you can make it here you can make it anywhere, and I finally realized why they say that (smile).

Q: Why is that?A: ’Cause y ’all kill everybody (laugh)! Media, fans — y’all can love us, but y ’all really can hate us too (laugh). It ’s pretty crazy. I like playing on this stage. I’m not gonna sit here and say I was born for it, but I feel like when I’ve been out there I think I’ve done a good job, and I’m just hoping to continue to build off of that.

Q: You don’t go into Manhattan much?A: You know what’s crazy? I haven’t even had any New York pizza. You’ll tell somebody from Jersey or New York, “I’m getting Domino’s” or something — they ’re about to curse you out!

Q: You don’t cook, so what do you do for food?A: I have a meal plan right now. It ’s called Eat Clean Bro. They send me a lot of meals.

Q: Are you recognized in Jersey?A: Smashburger. That ’s the one place.

Q: What is your on-field mentality?A: I would say I’m super-focused on the task at hand. I try to strive to be a perfectionist, and it ’s hard ’cause you’re not gonna be perfect. … Nothing gets me too amped up. I try not to get too down about things. I’ve said before, the chip on my shoulder’s always gonna be there, so I always got that mentality of that undrafted kid that got here that nobody gave a chance in hell to make a team.

Q: From your Twitter feed: “Starve your distractions and feed your focus.”A: I’m big on certain quotes, things that motivate me. I think that was kind of focused on what was going on at the time. Obviously we weren’t doing well as an of-fense. It was something that, you know, “OK, let ’s be real: The media’s gonna come attack us. Everybody ’s gonna come attack us say that we suck, this should be fired, you shouldn’t be playing, blah blah blah.” OK, those are all distractions, let them go, man. Don’t worry about those, feed your focus, know what the task is at hand, and keep it at that.

Q: Twitter: “It ’s not about the struggle, it ’s about your drive.”A: Everybody wants to talk about their situation, and

complain about the cards that have been dealt, and I feel like with the drive that you have in any type of situation, you can overcome those. I’m a product of two parents that came from Ghana, Africa and worked their tails off to get to where they ’re at now. I wasn’t a first-round draft pick — I wasn’t drafted at all.

Q: Why was Kobe Bryant your guy?A: He’s an amazing person. His mindset on a lot of things, it ’s really phenomenal, it ’s really intriguing.

Q: How would you describe his mindset?A: It ’s just his killer mindset that he cannot be denied, when it comes to anything. I’m a diehard Laker fan, so I’ve seen him since ’98. When he didn’t have the pieces there to maybe contend for a championship, he wasn’t gonna be denied. His mindset was, “OK everybody ’s counting me out. Let me show you what I’m gonna do.”

Q: What do you think of rookie Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball?A: A lot of people give [Ball’s father] LaVar a lot of crap, but to have a dad love on his son the way he does, it ’s admirable to me. A lot of people don’t have those father figures in their lives … a lot of my friends don’t. They would dream for a father like that.

Q: What do you think of Lonzo?A: I love his game, man. I think he’s the future of the Lak-ers. He’s a leader by nature, and I think that ’ll be really good for the team going forward. A lot of my friends are Laker haters, and they ’ve been giving me crap since I got to college [at Tulane]. [The Lakers] won the last one in 2010, and then after that, it ’s been downhill ever since, so they ’ve been giving me crap for it. I’m just ready for them to kind of ascend, get to the playoffs at least, so we’ll see (smile).

Q: If you could pick the brain of any running back in his-tory …A: [Adrian Peterson]. Just because of the fact that he’s done it then, and he’s doing it now.

Q: Why Tulane?A: I really wanted to go to UT — Tennessee Vols. But I guess [then coach] Lane Kiffin didn’t want to give me an offer. I had [Middle Tennessee], I had UAB, I had Army, Western Kentucky. And I lost MTSU and UAB the same day, as far as the offers. So I was panicking. Tulane came in December to talk when I was in this class. It was called Dance for Athletes, it was really ballet.

Q: They taught ballet in high school?A: They call it Dance for Athletes.

Q: But it ’s really ballet?A: They call it Dance for Athletes (laugh).

Q: Did it help you on the field?A: You know what, I think it did, as far as balance. And we did a lot of stretching as well. I’ve talked with [former Titans running back] Eddie George on numer-ous occasions, and he told me that was one of the things that I should do when I was in college.

Q: How’d you do in the course?A: I did well! There was a performance, it was optional, that we could do in front of the whole school. And I was like, “Nah, I’m not doing that. I can’t do that (laugh).”

Q: Do your teammates know about your ballet?A: Nah. But I’m pretty sure they ’re about to now.

Q: From your Twitter feed: “Work until your idols be-come your rivals.”A: I remember I wrote that for [fellow Tulane product] Matt Forte, somebody I’ve looked up to since I’ve been at Tulane … actually tied him for a [career] touchdown record. He can see me in the same light as saying that I can compete with him.

Q: You threw two TD passes your freshman year in col-lege against Rice.A: I really thought I was a quarterback in my past life, it ’s crazy (laugh). It was like a 40-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Grant [now with the Redskins]. Once that hap-pened, I looked to the sideline, I was like, “I dare y ’all to say something.” They thought I wasn’t gonna get it. The second one was same game. It was a jump pass, it was like a [Tim] Tebow pass.

Q: Three dinner guests?A: Martin Luther King, Kendrick Lamar, Kobe Bryant.

Q: Favorite movie?A: Friday Night Lights.

Q: Favorite actor?A: Derek Luke.

Q: Favorite actress?A: Scarlet Johansson.

Q: Favorite meal?A: Shrimp fried rice.

Q: The giants gave you No. 43 four years ago. How did you get 26?A: That was Antrel’s [Rolle] last year, and we didn’t

know if he was coming back. I asked [equipment manager] Joe Skiba if 26 is available, can I be the first one to get it ’cause obviously I wore it in college. Couldn’t wear No. 10, which I wore in high school. So I think during the offseason he texted me he said, “26 is yours.”

Q: You can’t make a deal with Eli for No. 10?A: I don’t even think I have enough money in the bank to do that (laugh).

Giants rookie Avery Moss found his confidence

“I definitely feel like I belong here,” he said. “I have a lot to learn, but I definitely feel like I belong.”

Finding plays for him on the field shouldn’t be too hard. Starting defensive end Olivier Vernon still is recovering from an ankle injury, and even if he does play this Sun-day for the first time since Oct. 1 he likely will be limited. The Giants put Romeo Okwara on injured reserve with a knee injury. That leaves only Jason Pierre-Paul and Kerry Wynn, who has been lining up in Vernon’s place as a starter, ahead of Moss in the rotation.

Despite his new sense of belonging, Moss said he’s not sure how he’ll be used for the rest of the season.

“I’m humble,” he said. “I take everything that comes my way… Roles change, so I’m just changing with the roles and trying to hold it down until OV gets back.”

He still feels a little out of place on the field.

“Even if I go in now I’m still going to have that little bit of jitters because it ’s still early for me,” he said. “But with more and more repetition it ’s going to be like sec-ond nature.”

Moss should get those reps in the next two months, against some pretty strong competition. That would have been intimidating for him just a few short weeks ago. But no longer.

“It ’s really just football,” he said of pulling the curtain back on the NFL myth he once believed. “Once you get to see everybody on film you see that most dudes aren’t perfect. A lot of them have imperfections in their games… Last year I looked at them on TV and you’re like: ‘These guys are big, this and that.’ Once you see everything now that I’m here, it ’s like: ‘They ’re not all that. They ’re beatable.’ And they put on their jersey just like I do.”

That, he said, is the key to his rookie transformation. That he puts on his jersey, too. That he’s earned it. That he belongs.

“Now,” he said, “I’m certain it ’s for me.”

By Tom RockNewsdayOctober 31, 2017

When the season began, Avery Moss wasn’t sure he was in the right place.

The NFL? That ’s for the best of the best.

“I had this idea that everybody who played on that field was a superstar,” the rookie defensive end told Newsday on Monday. “O-linemen who can’t be touched and you can’t move them for anything. The d-linemen are the most vicious people in the game.”

And there he was, a kid from Youngstown State, trying to compete against them.

“I had some doubts,” Moss said of his ability to play at this level, even up to and including his making of the 53-man roster out of the preseason. “It was different. I didn’t know where I fit on the depth chart. I didn’t know what my role would be. It was all different for me. I knew I could adjust to it, but I didn’t know if it was exactly for me.”

The last three games before the bye changed his mind. And perhaps the Giants’, too.

After not seeing the field on defense for the first four games, three of which he was inactive for, he’s played 105 defensive snaps. He batted down a pass against the Chargers and forced a fumble against the Seahawks. He also had a quarterback hit on Russell Wilson.

Ben McAdoo said one of the focuses of the coaching staff during the bye week was assessing the deployment of the team’s personnel. “We wanted to make sure we were using our players the right way,” McAdoo said. “Is there an opportunity moving forward for us to inject maybe some younger players … into different roles?”

Moss, a fifth-round pick, would seem to be an ideal can-didate. He’s still raw, still has holes in his game. But he’s exciting and makes things happen. That ’s needed on the Giants’ defense.

When Moss returned from the bye, spending the week-end in Youngstown where he visited with his girlfriend and saw his alma mater’s game, he came back with a new sense of confidence.

Joan Tisch dies; matriarch of Giants’ co-owning fam-ily was 90

AIDS with her early support of the Gay Men’s Health Cri-sis, where she served as honorary chair of the President ’s Council. Bob and Joan Tisch were responsible for the cre-ation of the Pres ton Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University Medical School. Joan Tisch was co-pres-ident and a director of the Tisch Foundation, Inc., which contributes to a wide variety of charitable endeavors.

A funeral service for Tisch will be held Monday at 11 a.m. at Central Synagogue in Manhattan, with shiva to follow from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Loews Regency Hotel.

By Tom RockNewsdayNovember 2, 2017

Joan Tisch, matriarch of the family that owns half of the NFL’s Giants and one of New York City ’s foremost philanthropists, died on Thursday morning after a brief illness. She was 90.

“Joan Tisch was a great lady who led an extraordinary life that touched so many people,” John Mara, Giants president and chief executive, said in a team statement on her passing. “She was an outstanding role model for her wonderful family and for all of us who knew her. We will miss her dearly.”

Joan Tisch was the last surviving member of the gen-eration of Maras and Tisches that entered the initial partnership to co-own the Giants. In 1948 Joan Hyman married Preston Robert “Bob” Tisch, who would go on to become one of the nation’s most influential business-men. He purchased a 50 percent share of the Giants from the Mara family in 1991. He and Wellington Mara passed away in 2005. Wellington Mara’s wife, Ann Mara, died in 2015.

The Tisches’ son Steve Tisch is the team’s current chair-man and executive vice president while another son, Jonathan Tisch, is the team’s treasurer. Their daughter, Laurie Tisch, serves on the team’s board of directors.

On Sunday the Giants will observe a moment of silence before their 1 p.m. home game against the Los Angeles Rams in honor of Joan Tisch. They will also wear a decal with her initials on their helmets for the game and a patch on their jerseys for the remainder of the season.

Besides her three children, Joan Tisch is survived by 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Joan Tisch attended as many Giants games as she could. Beyond her stake in the football team, she served as a trustee of the Museum of Modern Art and was on the board of directors of Citymeals on Wheels. She played a significant role at the famed 92nd Street Y in Manhat-tan, where she was the co-chair of the Tisch Center for the Arts, which the Y named in her family ’s honor. Her family also endowed the Tisch Galleries at the Metro-politan Museum of Art in Manhattan.

Joan Tisch was one of the pioneers in the fight against

Giants-49ers was a big deal when Ellison’s dad played for SF

“Obviously there’s the Bavaro catch that I think I missed twice on, which my son makes me relive,” Ellison said. That was the play in which the Giants’ tight end rumbled down the field carrying most of the 49ers defense. Ellison had a chance to bring him down just after he caught the pass and could have stopped the whole play from taking place, but he whiffed.

For each of those plays, though, there are other better memories for Ellison. He had an interception off Phil Simms in the 1984 playoff game.

“There were some memorable moments on both sides of winning and losing,” he said.

Most of all, though, he remembers the intensity of the games.

“It was Bill Parcells’ and Bill Belichick’s philosophy against Bill Walsh’s philosophy,” he said. “We were just different in how we played and it was just an epic match-up. The Giants were very very physical and played in a caliber that was outstanding to watch. With our type of offense against that type of defense, our type of defense against that type of offense, they were epic battles.”

Riki Ellison won’t be able to make it to Sunday ’s game at Levi’s Stadium. He’ll be in Europe with the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, a nonprofit organization he created in 2002 to drive for the deployment, develop-ment and evolution of missile defense. But he hopes to be able to tune in someway to see the latest chapter in the Giants-49ers relationship.

And, for the first time, he’ll be pulling for the Giants.

“Obviously my son is playing for the Giants and I want him to win and I want the Giants to play well,” he said. “My loyalty goes to my son right now and his team.”

The former Giants who teased him were right after all. He has become one of them.

By Tom RockNewsdayNovember 9, 2017

Riki Ellison was a linebacker for the 49ers in the 1980s, but he has plenty of friends against whom he played on the Giants. He’s run into Lawrence Taylor re-cently, he said, and been in touch with Ottis Anderson. He’s close with Harry Carson.

“They tease me a lot,” Ellison said in a phone interview with Newsday this week. “They say that I’m with them now.”

In a way he is. His son is Rhett Ellison, the Giants’ tight end who signed with the team this offseason and is now getting ready for his first taste of a rivalry that his father considered one of the tops in any era of the NFL.

“That was one of the biggest rivalries in the game when I was playing,” Riki Ellison said. “An epic rivalry be-tween two different cultures, two different ways of play-ing the game, and there were great physical matchups when we played each other. I still have strong emotions about it. They were phenomenal games.”

The two teams met in the playoffs three straight years. The 49ers on in 1984, the Giants won in 1985 and 1986.

“You saw World Championships come out of those bat-tles,” he said.

That won’t be the case this time. The Giants are 1-7 and the 49ers are 0-9.

“Isn’t that crazy how it is now?” Ellison marveled. “Com-pletely the opposite of how it was in the ‘80s.”

Rhett Ellison said while growing up in the Bay Area, he wasn’t much of a Niners fan even though his dad played in two Super Bowls for the team and won three rings with them.

“I was pretty much just a USC fan,” he said of the col-lege both Ellisons attended. “My dad just pretty much brainwashed me to go to USC and watch that.”

Rhett Ellison said his father was “excited” when he signed with the Giants. It did, however, come with a cost for the elder Ellison.

Eli Manning set to tie one of Peyton’s most impres-sive accomplishments

Once he passes Peyton next week when the Giants host the Kansas City Chiefs, the streak -- while still impressive -- isn’t all that important to extend. Coach Ben McAdoo has already admitted there could be a point later in the season where it would benefit the organization to take a look at some of the younger players.

That means Davis Webb. He was drafted in the third round earlier this year, and has spent this spring, sum-mer and season looking over Manning’s shoulder watch-ing and learning. What he sees is a quarterback with a potential Hall of Fame resume who is among the best of all-time at staying healthy.

His availability has been his best ability. It ’s not an ac-cident either. There’s an art to knowing how to absorb a hit.

“It ’s definitely a skill,” backup quarterback Geno Smith said. “You can’t practice it because you don’t get hit in practice. But 208 straight starts you’ll get good practice at it on Sundays. You just have to go with the hit. It ’s like when you fight for the extra yards or you’re trying to stay up, sometimes they got you. Tom Brady does it, Peyton did it and those guys play forever.”

It ’s easier said than done. Smith was injured last year trying to avoid a sack. When he was hit by the second defender he tore his knee. He missed the remainder of the 2016 season before signing with the Giants this offseason.

Manning has dealt with some injuries along the way. He separated his shoulder in 2007 and was expected to miss several weeks. He didn’t miss a game.

His durability isn’t lost on his coaches.

“Well, he’s a true pro in terms of taking care of his body,” said offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan, who was Manning’s quarterbacks coach in 2010-11. “I don’t imagine him doing anything other than, when he gets home, spending quality time with his wife and kids. He’s not out running the streets, obviously, but you know, he does -- you look at what he’s eating. It ’s hard to find him putting anything but nutritious things in his body and you guys have all documented the whole how he goes through his routine as far as stretching his arms, you know, stretching his shoulders and so forth. His com-mitment is full time. It ’s not just what he does in the film room and preparing himself. It ’s not just what he does on the practice field.

By Jordan RaananESPNNovember 10, 2017

Through all the wins, losses, touchdowns, comple-tions, interceptions, fumbles, Super Bowls, controversies and there has been one constant for the New York Giants since midway through the 2004 season: Eli Manning has started at quarterback.

This Sunday when the Giants play on the road against the San Francisco 49ers will be Manning’s 208th con-secutive regular season start since he took over for Kurt Warner. In that time he’s won two Super Bowls, won 109 regular season games, thrown for over 50,000 yards and thrown 332 touchdown passes with 221 interceptions.

The streak is impressive on its own merit, but this num-ber has a bit more meaning than most. Manning will tie his brother, Peyton Manning, for second on the all-time list of consecutive starts for a quarterback on Sunday.

In typical Eli fashion, he managed to downplay the sig-nificance of the impressive accomplishment or any sort of competition with his brother. He will have started ev-ery game for the equivalent of 13 full seasons.

“I mean, I guess yes and no [it has meaning],” Man-ning said of making start No. 208 and tying his brother. “I’m happy to be out there each and every week with my teammates. That ’s a goal of mine to stay healthy, to play through injuries, to be accountable and, so, like I said, that is important to me to be there for my team and my teammates.

“But, it ’s not about breaking a record though.”

Manning, 36, is never going to break the record. Brett Favre started 297 consecutive games from 1992-2010. Manning would have to play almost six more full sea-sons top Favre’s streak.

Even though he said this summer he would like to play into his 40s, approaching Favre’s ironman record seems unrealistic. Manning has two years remaining on his contract with the Giants.

“[Favre’s] a good ways away,” Manning conceded. “So, we’ll see.”

With the Giants (1-7) struggling this season, there is a possibility the streak could eventually end this year.

“But, I think in all phases of his life he has a great balance and a perspective and certainly has served him well through this long streak.”

It has gotten him through 13 professional seasons. And when Manning did break his ankle in the season finale in 2013 against the Washington Redskins, he was back before the start of training camp. Nothing has slowed him down.

It ’s a remarkable feat given the demands of playing quarterback at the NFL level.

“That ’s amazing at any position with how dangerous this sport is,” Smith said. “Anything can happen on Sundays. It takes a little luck but it also takes a lot of grit. You have to fight through some pain, some inju-ries. I’m sure he’s done that. And you have to be smart, get the ball out and not take on three guys.”

That, like staying on the field, has never been a prob-lem for the ultra-durable Mannings.

The development that is raising Giants rookie TE Evan Engram’s ceiling even higher

Engram’s transition to the NFL has been accelerated due to the injuries that decimated the wide receiver corps. Instead of being a supporting piece to Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard, Engram has been thrust into a lead role.

“I’ve just had to grow up a little bit faster, mature a little bit more,” Engram said. “I’m learning a lot. I think that ’s probably going to be the biggest step that I’m go-ing to take, just learning the importance of just being a big playmaker, just stepping up in big moments, kind of having to deal with a lot of adversity. So, definitely going forward it will make me a better player, a better person.”

By Dan DugganNJ Advance Media for NJ.comNovember 16, 2017

EAST RUTHERFORD -- Giants rookie Evan Engram ranks sixth among tight ends in receptions (40), eighth in receiving yards (443) and third in touchdowns (five). While impressive, the production isn’t necessarily sur-prising for a player who became a first-round pick due to his speed and receiving skills.

The most encouraging development of the season has been Engram’s progress as a blocker. While far from a finished product, Engram has shown a willingness to block, which isn’t a given among receiving tight ends.

“Definitely I think I can do some things better,” said En-gram, who is graded as the 62nd-best run-blocking tight end by Pro Football Focus. “Just kind of just getting in some positions, hold my ground a little bit more, just small things I’m working on. There’s some things I’m doing pretty well, but definitely kind of more focused on the corrections I can make.”

Engram bristled at the label of “big wide receiver” that has been attached to him since the draft.

“I’m a tight end,” Engram said. “People can say (big wide receiver) all day, but I do everything every other tight end does. I don’t really pay too much mind of it, but I’m just doing what I’m asked to do.”

Engram has been asked to line up as a traditional tight end more than he expected. He has run 61 percent of his routes at in-line tight end or H-back, according to PFF.

“It creates a lot of mismatches and it opens up a lot of things,” Engram said. “So, I’m definitely in-line a lot, but I love it.”

The in-line work has been an adjustment for Engram, who ran 73 percent of his routes from the slot in his senior season at Ole Miss, according to PFF. Instead of lining up in space across from linebackers and safeties, the 6-foot-3, 236-pound Engram now must get off the line against defensive ends.

“It ’s definitely tough, but that ’s the game,” Engram said. “I love to compete. Those guys are huge, but I’m in there trying to compete with them.”

Justin Pugh is feeding offensive line pounds of Thanksgiving food

state and church,’’ he said.

Pugh is sidelined with a back injury that forced him to miss the 12-9 victory over the Chiefs and will keep him out of Thursday night ’s game with the Redskins.

“I’m not gonna try to rush back, make sure we do right by it so I don’t keep hurting the team, hurting myself and screwing everybody involved,’’ said Pugh, who has his sights on returning for the Dec. 3 game at Oakland.

After the second game of the season, the offensive line-men got together and determined they needed to get closer off the field, and Wednesday night dinners became a weekly staple. The linemen stay late, and take turns purchasing food brought into the team facility. “We talk about things other than football,’’ Pugh said.

That tradition continues with his Friday night, high-calorie soiree.

“Weigh-ins are [Wednesday],’’ Pugh said, “so they ’re safe.’’

By Paul SchwartzNY PostNovember 21, 2017

The Giants play on Thanksgiving, but that does not mean they have to forgo the holiday. There will be plenty to eat the next night, at Justin Pugh’s apartment in Jersey City.

“We got like 65 pounds of turkey,’’ Pugh said Tuesday, reciting the menu his private chef is set to prepare. “We got a couple hams. [D.J.] Fluker wanted a fried turkey, so we have a fried turkey. John Jerry is requesting a turducken. It should be good.’’

Pugh also mentioned cornbread stuffing and appetizers.

“All sort of appetizers,’’ he said.

This is Pugh’s party. He knew his teammates, playing the night before, would not be home or with family for the holiday and he wanted to get the gang together. He invited the entire offensive line, and their girlfriends, to his apartment, along with his best friends from his hometown outside of Philadelphia, a gathering of about 35-40 people. He calls it “Friends-giving’’ and he is an-ticipating no one will leave hungry.

“A lot of guys are from all over the place so my whole thing is to try to give guys a place to go,’’ Pugh said. “We’re still family here.’’

Also on the guest list are neighbors who do not have anywhere to go on Thanksgiving. Pugh recently put out a heartwarming video chronicling his unlikely relation-ship with an older man from the neighborhood named Bill, who wrote a note asking Pugh for help paying his rent. A friendship blossomed and Bill will be at Pugh’s Friends-giving fete.

Pugh puts plywood over his pool table, providing plenty of surface-area to display all the food to be served. He said his chef knows to count each offensive lineman as 1.5 people when it comes to determining how much food is needed.

“He knows how I eat, so he’s able to scale it out,’’ Pugh said.

Most of Pugh’s childhood buddies are Eagles fans but he is not concerned about any fireworks. “We’re not mixing

Head Coach Ben McAdooPostgame vs. Washington Redskins, November 23, 2017

Opening statement: “I thought we played hard. We had plenty of opportunities, especially in the first half. On offense, we didn’t capitalize on the opportunities. Give Washington credit, credit they beat us today.”

On the offense overall:“It wasn’t very good.”

On the decision to make CB Eli Apple inactive:“Eli missed a lot of time last week with practice and the ballgame. It was a short week without any speed. That was the reason for it.”

On if making Apple inactive was a disciplinary measure:“I just gave you my reason.”

On the offensive line taking a step backwards in production:“I think early in the ball game we had some opportunities where we dropped some balls. It could have been a play to make a first down. It could have completed the ball. We missed the throw early. I think all that stuff catches up with you when you have to drop back and you don’t get to drop back on your own terms. There were some times where we were physical in the ballgame running the football. But certainly too many hits on the quarterback, but there’s plenty to go around.”

On TE Evan Engram’s poor performance in light of the team’s injuries:“Yeah, our margin for error is small with the way things are right now. We know that going in, but it doesn’t mean we can’t go out there and press. And he looked like we played on a short week tonight. He needs to get that out of his system. He needs to learn from it and I’m confident he will learn from it and move on.”

On if any conversation with Engram took place following the dropped passes:“We had a couple of conversations.”

On what was said during the conversations concerning Engram:“Especially after the first one, you have to flush it and move on, because at a certain point of time you have to reset mentally. That’s the big part of it.”

On the performance of the new pairing of T Chad Wheeler and OL Jon Halapio: “Again, our offense has a long way to go. We didn’t play well tonight and need to go look at the film.”

On the team’s defensive penalties, specifically concerning CB Ross Cockrell:“Again, I have to go look at the tape. I know a couple of times we got beat inside, which we had inside leverage. I thought he was in decent position on a go-route and got the P.I. penalty. I think he needs to stay the course there instead of reaching out and grabbing the receiver, but again, I need to look the tape before I make any comments.”

On QB Eli Manning missing the throw to RB Shane Vereen in the red zone:“Yeah, it’s a throw and catch we have to have. It should’ve been a touchdown. Are you talking about the one in the red zone? Got to have it.”

On not wanting the team to get numb after losses:“I think we played the game hard and physical today. That was a hard-fought football game. It was close. We had our opportunities and didn’t come through in the end.”

On guys stepping up due to linebacker injuries:“I thought that we communicated well. We got lined up well. We had some DBs in and out. We had some linebackers in and out. They didn’t blink on defense. Kept playing hard, kept playing physical. Need to do a better job against the run and the end of the ball game, but we’ll clean that up.”

On how frustrating the offense is as a whole:“Well, we were making progress in the run game. I’m not frustrated. We were making progress in the run game up until this week. We need to run the ball better. That’s where it starts and we didn’t do that tonight.”

On the issue with the run game tonight:“I’m going to have to go back and look at the film.”

Head Coach Ben McAdooConference Call, November 24, 2017

Q: What did you think of the overall effort in last night’s game?A: I thought we played the game hard. I thought we played the game physical at times. There were times when we were the more physical team. That wasn’t consistent over the course of the ballgame, but I thought the players played hard.

Q: At 2-9, where does the team go from here?A: I guess the normal procedure would be to start taking a look at more younger players, but we’re doing that, really, already, with the way things have come out injury-wise. We have a lot of young players playing out there and last night was an example, young players playing on a short week and they played like it. We need to get more out of the young players on our roster. We took a step backwards there. Everything’s correctable and I’m confident that we’re going to get it corrected, but we need better there. The players are going to get a couple days away from it and we need to come back and attack this last month head on.

Q: What did you think when you looked at the offense on tape?A: Well, I was disappointed in the way that our offense looked. Really, as a team, we didn’t handle the ball well enough to win the game. We didn’t throw it well enough, we didn’t catch it well enough, we didn’t punt it well enough, we didn’t kick it well enough and that was a big part of the ballgame. Last night we had a lot of unforced errors. They were both ways in the game and that’s usually how it goes. On a Thursday Night game, you’re going to have some of that and we just weren’t able to overcome it.

Q: Is there anything that you would have changed going into the game, preparation-wise, to compensate for the challenge of having young players play on a short week?A: Yeah, we’re going to take a look at it. We have some ideas that we put down and we’re going to take a look at it in the future and see if there’s any adjustments you can make to maybe getting some speed work.

Q: Has ‘next man up’ been a little unrealistic, especially heading into a short week, to have guys step in right away and expect them to play at a high level?A: Both teams went through it last night. We had a lot of players who had to step in and go and play pro football at a high level. And that is a challenge, but that’s part of the game. We played hard, we weren’t detailed enough, we didn’t execute the way that we’re capable of executing, but we went out and played the game hard.

Q: Do you think your players might have been pressing a little bit, knowing it was a short week?A: I thought there were some examples, maybe. I thought maybe [tight end] Evan [Engram] was pressing a little bit in the pass game, especially after he dropped the first one. Other than that, I’m not sure if there were any other signs of it.

Q: What is the latest on wide receiver Sterling Shepard?A: Sterling, he’s still on the injury report. There’s no change from yesterday.

Q: Is it still migraines with Shepard?A: He’s listed as a migraine, yes.

Q: Do you have any updates on injured players from last night?A: [Cornerback] Janoris [Jenkins] has an ankle [injury], it’s painful. [Linebacker Curtis] Grant has a knee [injury], a right knee. [Cornerback] Donte Deayon has a forearm fracture. [Linebacker Deontae] Skinner has a hamstring [injury] and that’s what I have right now.

Q: Is Deayon’s injury something that he can play through, or will it end his season?A: He won’t be able to play through that, no.

Q: Shepard is not in the concussion protocol, correct?A: Correct.

Page 319: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

Q: Any concern that Jenkins’ injury is long-term?A: He’s in some pain right now, so there’s a possibility.

Q: Is Grant’s knee injury going to end his season?A: It looks that way, yes.

Q: Is there anything you can do to help Engram come back in the passing game?A: Yeah, he bounced back in the ballgame. He had the drop on the first third down of the game and that was an easy throw and catch, should’ve been. And he just didn’t have good fundamentals there. He surrounded the ball, something that we don’t like to do, and when it gets chalky and cold, the ball can be hard to handle. He doesn’t have a lot of experience playing in that weather, but that’s part of it. He bounced back on the vertical play down the middle, it would’ve been a very tough throw and catch, [quarterback] Eli [Manning] got some pressure, had to get the ball out, he wasn’t expecting the ball probably that quickly, but made a nice play on the ball and just couldn’t hold it going to the ground. But came back on a deep cross, showed good fundamentals, good concentration, good focus and made a nice play. So, he’s able to rebound during the course of a game. I did have conversations with him during the course of the game and let him know that he can still make a big impact in the ballgame, in the way the ballgame was going. He just needs to stick with it and focus on the details and the little things.

Q: Do you find Engram is receptive to those in-game conversations?A: Yeah, he’s phenomenal on the sideline. He plays the game with a clear mind.

Q: In your eyes, was cornerback Eli Apple missing two practices last week what contributed to him being inactive last night?A: He hasn’t played football in awhile and that’s why I chose the decision I made.

Q: Missing two practices for a guy who has played a lot of football is a deal breaker?A: I don’t know what deal you’re talking about, but he didn’t practice last week, except for Wednesday. He did not play in the game and didn’t get any speed work this week, that’s why I chose to not dress him.

Q: There is a lot of speculation that he was inactive for another reason, but that is not the case?A: I didn’t say it was.

Q: How do you feel about the way the offensive line played last night?A: I thought that the 16-play drive was a good drive for them. We mixed the pass, we mixed the run, had some good plays, overcame some adversity during that drive. But the physicality of the run game wasn’t as good as it’s been, so we dropped off there a little bit and our protection wasn’t good enough.

Q: What was your message to the players before they got away for a couple of days off?A: Come back on time with your weight right. That’s a good start.

Q: Because of all the young players playing more, are you teaching more?A: We need these guys to grow up. It’s part of coaching, it’s part of playing. We don’t have time to wait, it’s got to be now.

Quarterback Eli ManningPostgame vs. Washington Redskins, November 23, 2017

On how frustrating tonight was:“They did a good job. They did a good job on third down. We just couldn’t get things going. We were backed up a bunch. We didn’t make plays. We missed some plays that we needed to make and just couldn’t get much going.”

On what happened with the pass to RB Shane Vereen:“I have got to hit Shane on that. It was a screen trying to pop him out of the backfield. I thought I had to throw it a little sooner than I wanted to – kind of float it up there for him where maybe he can adjust and get to it, but I just put a little bit too much on it and we got to hit that one.”

On offensive linemen T Chad Wheeler and OL Jon Halapio:“I think they competed and were going against some good players. They hung in there and competed and they did fine.”

On being under pressure more than usual:“We just never got into a great rhythm. We needed to have some longer drives. It was just first down, second down, third down. We weren’t about to get some drives and slow down that pass rush. They did a good job. They’ve got some good players. We had to hold it a little bit sometimes when they’ve got some pressure. We just need to do a better job of a combination of everything. I had to hit some throws and guys had to make some catches. Each play kind of had its own reason for not being successful.”

On what he told TE Evan Engram after a tough couple of games:“Well, you just have to keep fighting. You get to the second half of the season and these rookies, it can get long for them. So you just have to keep grinding and make sure you’re focused, and we’re going to need him to make some plays for us.”

On playing without WR Sterling Shepard:“Yeah, you miss him. He’s one of our go-to guys. He has some experience and he’s a playmaker. So, I thought he was going to give it a shot today. He kind of went through some chair drills this morning and was there and then we got word he wasn’t going to go. So, obviously we have to get him healthy and make sure he’s fine. Anything dealing with the head is scary, but we definitely miss him.”

On if he thought offense would average 16 points this season:“No, I didn’t think that.”

On why he thinks offense is struggling:“Well, we’ve lost a lot of players. We’re missing our three starting receivers for a lot of the season. We’re getting some new guys in and they’re doing some good things. We’re missing some lineman. We’re missing some key players on offense and it’s just tough to catch up and make up some of those plays from the playmakers that we lost.”

On the margin for error with injuries:“We’ve done a pretty good job of not making the big mistakes like turning the ball over, but we can’t afford to have missed throws on third, have drops or have miscommunication. We only get so many opportunities to makes some plays and we have to make them. We need to play better than how we’re playing.”

On the team being demoralized:“It’s been a tough stretch most of the season so we’re going to keep fighting. We fought hard today and we have to find a way to make some plays in the fourth quarter and win some football games.”

On confidence in the offense:“Every time you get the ball, you can get something going. You can make some plays, get a pass or get a play-action. You just have to get one first down to get a little bit of momentum and we just weren’t getting those first downs very often.”

Page 321: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

On lack of plays down the field:“I thought we hit Evan [Engram] on a deep cross for a big play. We just didn’t complete the ball enough so we didn’t throw too many shots down the field. We didn’t have the ball enough to convert on third down to give us an opportunity to take those shots.”

On the reason why RB Wayne Gallman Jr. played more later in the game:“I don’t have the reason for that. That’s coach’s decision.”

On if losing tires him out emotionally:“Yeah. Yeah, it definitely does. It’s no fun losing. It’s no fun not scoring. Not enough points offensively. Yeah, it can wear you out. It can test you, but you’ve got to keep going to the drawing board and find ways to play better and move the ball and score some points.”

On if he takes the loss personally:“I think everyone takes it personally. When you lose a football game, you feel bad. You always think about plays you could have made, made a difference. It’s tough.”

Quarterback Eli ManningConference Call, November 24, 2017

Q: Is this as frustrating of a year as you could imagine?A: Yeah, it’s definitely a frustrating year. We’re not playing great football offensively. The defense is playing well, keeping us in the games and especially some second half of games, we just haven’t been able to move the ball, not been able to get first downs, not being able to get completions and it’s frustrating. It’s not the style of football that I’m used to playing. Not being able to complete the ball, so yeah it’s frustrating, it is tough. We just got to keep finding ways to be creative to put our guys in great position to make plays and be more efficient offensively.

Q: Do you sense guys are pressing too hard to make plays?A: I don’t sense that. The guys out there want to make plays. I don’t think they’re trying to do too much and therefore leading to. I think when you start pressing, that’s when mistakes happen and obviously some games we’ve turned the ball over, but we’re not turning the ball over, we’re not forcing things, we’re not sloppy. Everybody has their part in it. It’s not one person, we’ve had drops, I’ve missed some throws, we’ve had some mistakes up front. It’s everybody at different times contributing to our lack of success.

Q: So how do you fix that then?A: We just got to make sure guys are focused. Obviously this is tough. We got some young guys on a short week. Their first time doing this, late in the year on a short week. You got young guys playing, that can happen. It’s not an excuse, but we got some new guys in the mix. We just got to find a way. We tried to slow down the game a little bit and shorten the game by giving them more two tight ends and three tight ends and running the ball, running the ball and we’re getting ourselves into third and manageable positions, we got to convert. We got third and threes and fours, which we had a lot of, you can’t let those pass away. We got to make the catches, we got to make the plays. It just comes down to everybody being that much more focused. It’s been a tough year and with five games left, this is about your pride and if everybody feels bad about the last game, that was bad football offensively. That is not even close to where it needs to be. We’ve had some injuries, we’ve had some guys out, but we got to find a way to come together and find ways to excel our play and win some football games.

Q: How much of a challenge is it to manage the type of football you guys have been playing? A: We were talking about the styles not being efficient. Not being explosive. But it is a different style and it is a little bit more run, run and then throw it on third down. So yeah it’s different, but hey, it can be effective, it can work and under-stand that’s the situation we’re in, but we still got to do the part and finish that job and convert on those third downs and put our guys in a position where they can give them a chance to be successful and find out what they do well. So it’s a little bit of playing it by ear and figuring things out and if you think you’re going to have a guy and then with some injuries, different things going on. So we hope to get Sterling Shepard back in the mix, if not, we got to make sure we’re putting guys in third and fives so they can be successful and the team can be successful.

Q: When one unit is having success on the field, how hard is it to be on the short end of the stick? A: Yeah, it’s no fun. It’s obviously a team game. All three sides have to do their part to win a football game, but you don’t want to be one of the groups that is contributing to the losses and that’s what the offense is right now. We’re not doing our part. The defense is getting the stops, they’re getting the turnovers, they’re getting the fourth down stops, they’re getting in good field position. We got to do our part. We got to stay on the field, we can’t have three and outs and we got to score more points and build them a lead. If we can get a lead, we can do some things to cause the other team to turn the ball over. We got to do our part.

Q: Do you take this week as a mini bye and take the rest of the weekend off to get some rest for the last five games of the season? A: Yeah, I think that’s a good plan. It was a short week, after a long season and this last week was a grind and we didn’t get home until 4 AM last night. So I think you do have to spend the next couple of days and let the body rest and recover and get away from it and spend time with the family and just get rejuvenated for these last five games and understand we got to be committed and all in and do everything you can these last five games to make sure we get a better product on the field than what we did last night.

Q: Did you have any specific advice for Evan (Engram)? A: This is football. Things can be going very well and then all of a sudden, you can just have a few things not go your way and not make the plays. So you just got to keep doing the right things, stay positive, want to get the ball, want to get open, want to do the right things and you’ll get out of it, it will snap. You just got to make sure you’re handling these situations correctly and there’s nothing wrong with feeling bad about it or feeling angry about it or embarrassed about it or whatever it is. It’s fine to go through those things, sometimes you got to have those feelings so you do snap out of it.

Tight End Evan EngramPostgame vs. Washington Redskins, November 23, 2017

On his performance tonight:“I don’t know. I just got to be better. There’s no excuses for it. I just got to make some plays, just got to be better.”

On if his drops tonight are a concern:“Are they a concern? Tonight, yeah. A big concern.”

On what Head Coach Ben McAdoo said to him about his drop early in the game:“Stay in it. Just keep going and it will come back to you.”

Cornerback Janoris JenkinsPostgame vs. Washington Redskins, November 23, 2017

On the offense:“You got to understand, it’s football. Offenses do what they do. We can’t worry about what they do. We just got to come out as a defense and do what we do. Coach tells us all the time, ‘Don’t look at the scoreboard. Don’t focus on the scoreboard. Just come out and play hard nose football and just move forward.’”

On the defense:“We never go into the game knowing we have to put up points. It’s all about doing what we have to do on the defensive end – the defensive side of the ball and maintaining it.”

Running Back Orleans DarkwaPostgame vs. Washington Redskins, November 23, 2017

On the run game in the second half:“It’s frustrating. We weren’t doing what we wanted. At first, we were able to move the ball. We just weren’t able to do it with some consistency. It’s frustrating, but we just have to figure out how to get the offense going. We got to get some points on the board. We can’t expect the defense to do it for us all the time. So, we just got to get it going. We will get it right.”

On not being able to carry the momentum from last Sunday:“It’s unusual. Nobody likes to lose. We prepared well. With the circumstances, we prepared well. But we just didn’t go out there and execute, so we got to take some time, get our bodies right, get some people back on the field and get ready for the next opponent.”

On if the team is getting numb to their frustrating record:“At the end of the day, we know what we are capable of. So, it’s frustrating because we know we can play better than we have played and we can produce more than we have. It’s frustrating and we are not getting used to that at all. We just got to get better and that’s what we plan on doing.”

Tackle Chad WheelerPostgame vs. Washington Redskins, November 23, 2017

On if the early struggles shook his confidence:“No. We have a [one] play mentality that we preach all the time.”

On the overall performance of the offense: “We just didn’t play up to standard. Our defense played their tails off. They expect more from us and we’ve got to give them more.”

On why the running game seemed to take a step back this week:“Give credit to them. They had an excellent game plan and they made plays. So, we just didn’t make plays.”

Safety Landon CollinsPostgame vs. Washington Redskins, November 23, 2017

On the short week:“We had a good mindset. I think everybody was positive. They were excited. I think the thing everybody was worried about was how sore they are, but when you get on the field all that goes out the window. I’m out there playing ball, so most of the guys were ready to play. The mindset was to come in here, play our best game and try and get this W.”

On struggling the week after a win:“It hurt. We know we’re going to have tough games. We’re going to have difficult games. We have to fight our hardest, and in doing so, we can try to get better each and every week.”

On overcoming injuries:“It’s very hard. But at the same time, you just got to play with your instincts. You got to play detailed. You have to play with your eyes and your technique and you got to be basic 100 percent each and every time we come into this game, because it relies on us to do that.”

On penalties:“We said, ‘We got your back, man.’ It happens. It’s the game of football. Refs are going to call bad calls. I’m going to have to go back and look at the film and I think the deep one – some of those holding penalties are iffy. I don’t think it should have been holding. The ball wasn’t even going his way, so it’s iffy.”

On the pass rush:“We didn’t get the job done.”

On the run defense:“What was wrong with our run defense? It’s football. People make mistakes.”

On CB Janoris Jenkins’ interception:“He gave us a chance to win the game. That was a pretty awesome play, taking it back for a touchdown. He’s an awesome player so that gave us a chance to win the game, but we didn’t. He gave us that spark that we needed. That was basically it.”

Linebacker Devon KennardConference Call, November 24, 2017

Q: What do you tell your younger teammates that aren’t used to playing this late into the season? What kind of example do you set for them to keep them from mailing it in the rest of the way?A: I mean if you’re a young player, if you’re a player in the league really, you have a lot to prove. You’re fighting to show what you can do as a player and what you bring to the table to prove that you’re a part of the solution, not the problem. So that would be my message to young players and older players alike.

Q: Did you get frustrated with the offense yesterday?A: I don’t look at it that way. I think there are some things that we could have done defensively to put us in an even better spot. We didn’t play horribly, but that second half, if we played better in the second half, then maybe things would have panned out differently. So I think we got to look at ourselves and figure out what we should do on the defensive side of the ball to put ourselves in a better position. We see the offense didn’t score a lot of points, so we got to get more turnovers, we got to make sure we eliminate the big plays and keep them out of field goal range. When you look at the film and you see that there were things within our control that we could have done to help ourselves, that’s what you got to concentrate on. You can’t worry about the other side of the ball.

Q: What are you guys going to be doing the next couple of days? A: Yeah, a couple of days off. I know some guys might be seeing family or doing something like that. I’m staying around here, getting a lot of treatment on my body, get some rest and just hang out. I’m having Thanksgiving today actually, so that’s where I’m headed.

Q: How difficult has it been for the linebackers taking guys in and out of the lineup? A: It’s definitely a challenge. We have an intricate defense with a lot of moving parts to it and the linebacker play is a huge, huge role in that so having the inconsistency in the LB room has definitely posed a challenge for us this year. But there’s always opportunities for injuries. You can’t control that. Whoever you have out there, you got to be able to go out and perform. The expectation stays the same whoever is out there. I think coming off of a Thursday night game, hopefully we can get some more guys healthy and bring some guys back and we can finish strong.

management meeting.

Q: So, you didn’t make a decision whether you or Mike is going to call plays?

A: Of course, I did.

Q: Do you see J.T. Thomas filling a lot of the roles that Mark [Herzlich] had?

A: J.T. had a good week of practice. It ’s great to have him back out here. Linebackers and tight ends and sometimes safeties, the bigger ones, play similar type roles on the team, and we’ll see how that shakes out. I’m not going to give up anything matchup wise.

Q: Are you comfortable with B.J [Goodson] playing three downs?

A: Yeah, we are confident in B.J. He’s played a lot of reps. We were short on numbers there for a while in camp and with Keenan [Robinson] being down, we are very confident in B.J that he can handle the role.

Q: Do you view B.J and Jonathan Casillas as three-down linebackers?

A: I think they both can play three downs, yes. Q: Do you expect them to?

A: Wouldn’t be smart for me to answer that question.

Q: How concerning was Roger Lewis’ incident with the po-lice in the spring and can you talk about sticking with him through that?

A: Yeah, again, Roger Lewis has done a nice job for us in camp. He’s been cleared of any wrongdoing and you like to stand behind your locker room when you can and see how the information works itself out.

Q: Are you comfortable with Chad Wheeler jumping in at tackle if something were to happen to Ereck [Flowers]?

A: Again, we are not going to talk about actives/inactives right now, but Chad is a guy that we have increased confi-dence in each day.

Q: What do you think adding Shane Vereen back to the offense will do for you guys?

A: Yeah, Shane is a good security blanket for the quarter-back. He is like having another tight end out there. He’s a

The McAdoo ReportBy Michael EisenSeptember 11, 2017 Thirteen (13) is in there getting treatment. Odell [Beck-ham] is getting treatment. We will see how he responds. He is going to do all of his work with the training staff today and we’ll see how he responds tomorrow. We have a chance for a launch day tomorrow.

Q: Would you like there to be a definitive decision on him by tomorrow?

A: That’s my answer. I said my answer.

Q: You said the other day that you won’t put him on the field if he can injure himself further, does that include wor-ries about a re-aggravation?

A: I just gave you my answer.

Q: How is he doing mentally?

A: He’s in there getting treatment. He’s doing everything he can to get himself well.

Q: How important is it preparing for this game more than any other because you had all offseason to prepare for it?

A: You know, it is a challenge. Each phase faces differ-ent challenges. Defensively, when you look at this group there, they have a talented perimeter, they are good up-front, you’re not really quite sure what you’re going to see. I’m sure they have been preparing for us for a little while and they’ll have some wrinkles, especially early in the ballgame in their script, and we’ll see how that part goes. From a special teams’ perspective, there is not a lot of film on the guys you’re going to be playing against. They do have some carryover on the roster, but we’ll have to see how it shakes out and where they play guys and where they match them up. From an offensive perspective, they have some injury concerns and they’ve drafted some players in the secondary and they’ve drafted well there. We just haven’t had a chance to see them much playing NFL football. We had a chance to see them play college football, but not much NFL football. So there is some dif-ferent things and adjustments that need to be made during the course of a game.

Q: How did you go about making the decision on whether you or Mike [Sullivan] were going to call the plays?

A: Yeah, we have our game management meeting tomor-row morning and we’ll talk about play calling in the game

friendly target, he has good control of his body and creates friendly angles.

Q: How do you view the mental state of your team heading to week 1?

A: We’ve been practicing since April. We’ve played four preseason games. We are excited to play a game that is meaningful.

Q: Can you over prepare for an opener like this?

A: You’ll have to explain to me what that is.

Q: That’s what I’m asking you.

A: I’ve never heard of such a thing.

on the field. That happened for about 60 snaps. Can you see your plan coming to fruition?McAdoo: “The offense has really taken shape schematically and with the personnel. It ’s exciting to be able to go down to Dallas with all your pieces in place. I’m excited.” Q: You had mentioned at the NFL meeting that you were going to have a game management team. What is the gist of that?McAdoo: “We put time in all offseason and training camp get-ting ready for it. We’ve been practicing situations daily in camp, and once a week when we got into the in-season prep. We’ll have conversations throughout the week and then we’ll have our game management meeting on Saturday mornings.” Q: When you were asked about the Cowboys offense, you said, it didn’t matter who the skill guys are because everything revolves around their offensive line. Is that unusual?

McAdoo: “They ’re a little bit of a throwback team. It ’s like that on both sides of the ball for them. It always starts up front with the O and D lines. That ’s a credit to them. They do a nice job up front.” Q: With all the attention on Dak Prescott, it seems Jason Witten hasn’t received as much attention as he normally does. This team certainly knows Jason Witten well. I know you’ve played him many times. Talk about Jason Witten.McAdoo: “I have played him many times. I had the chance to coach him in the Pro Bowl one year. He works at it. Everything is important. He doesn’t let anything slide through the cracks, even at the Pro Bowl. Just very smart, aware. Doesn’t waste any movement on the field. He knows what’s coming and knows how to beat it. The chemistry with the quarterbacks, especially with Romo, is tremen-dous. It ’s hard to find that. You go back and think of (Joe) Montana and (Jerry) Rice, and some of the great chemistry with the quarterback and receiver or tight end. That has to be one of the best that ’s ever existed.” Q: (Linebacker) Sean Lee is Dallas’ best defender. What do you see when you watch him on tape?McAdoo: “It ’s like he plays with a little bit of a head start. You can tell he has good instincts and studies film. He has good ball skills, so we always have to know where he is.” Q: Dallas’ kicker, Dan Bailey, has made more than 90 per-cent of his career field goal attempts. Do you have to keep that kind of accuracy in mind when you’re making a deci-sion on the sidelines?McAdoo: “I think everything factors. He hasn’t done much kicking in the preseason but, obviously, the history is there.”

The McAdoo Report Week 2

pull back a little bit. But it ’s a day-to-day thing.”

Q: In the last four games last season, not counting the playoffs, your time of possession was more than 30 min-utes in each game. In the loss the other night in Dallas, it was 25 minutes and change. How important is time of possession to you?McAdoo: “Playing complementary team football is im-portant to us. Playing the field position game, I feel, is essential to playing championship defense, and playing championship defense is the most important thing for this program because that’s what’s going to get us to where we want to go. The offense, you want to possess the ball, but it ’s a team stat, and I think number of plays is important. You want to have a high number of plays, you want to be able to possess the ball, but field position factors, the de-fense getting off the field so that the return team has a chance to function at a high-level factors, and the offense obviously getting first downs factors.”

Q: The third down efficiency (33%, converting four of 12 opportunities) was not what you want it to be. How much of that in your mind was a first and second down issue, too? Or do you think you had manageable third downs, you just didn’t take advantage of them? McAdoo: “We had manageable third downs, especially ear-ly in the ballgame, and we had opportunities to convert on those third downs within the play. But breakdowns, again not in just one area, but breakdowns that were spread across the board, led to failure in those third downs. So we had manageable third downs, we had opportunities to convert the third downs, but the breakdowns made us unsuccessful on the third downs. So we have to eliminate those breakdowns. We are not going to eliminate them completely, but we have to take a step to get better from Week 1 to Week 2, and we will.”

Q: You’ve talked a lot about Eli Manning’s completion per-centage, which was actually pretty high (76.3%) last week. But the average per attempt (5.8 yards) was not. Is there a tradeoff sometimes? Would you like to see the completion percentage a little lower if he takes some chances down-field and maybe gets some big plays? Or if it ’s just not there, do you not want him to take those chances?McAdoo: “We don’t want to throw the ball up for grabs. At the end of the game, there are points where you have to take some chances that you normally wouldn’t take, but those are situationally based. With the way the game started and with the way the game progressed in the fourth quarter, those drives at the end of the third quarter, begin-ning of the fourth quarter would have been a check-down fest. To dump the ball underneath and take a bunch of completions, you would have had a chance to move the chains and chew some clock. But we had the interception

The McAdoo ReportBy Michael EisenSeptember 16, 2017 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The McAdoo Report, an exclu-sive weekly interview with Giants head coach Ben McAdoo.

Q: In your experience, are there overreactions following an opening game, good or bad? And as a coach, do you have to temper those and say, “It ’s just one game, you have 15 more to play.” McAdoo: “I think the important thing is you don’t over-react to anything after Week 1. It ’s one game of 16. It ’s a long season. You talk about trusting the process. To throw the baby out with the bath water after one week makes no sense.”

Q: Do you often see a significant improvement in commu-nication, execution, etc. from Week 1 to Week 2?McAdoo: “Yes, it ’s similar to the preseason from Week 1 to Week 2. In the regular season from Week 1 to Week 2, you get a chance to make a big jump and not just with fundamentals, but your physicality, the run game, offenses in general, because defenses are ahead of the game, espe-cially early in the season. But communication, also, which is very important.”

Q: The offensive line has received a lot of criticism. Justin Pugh said the other day, “It’s in our face, every time I turn around somebody is asking us what is wrong with the O-line.” In a situation like that, do you say anything to those guys, like “You can either ignore it, or you can go out and do something about it?”McAdoo: “We talked to them about not listening to the noise, about the only opinions that matter are the opin-ions in-house. We do recognize that we have a lot of work ahead, but we have confidence in our players and we are frank and we are honest about what we see on film and the grades with our players, so everyone’s on the same page and knows where the emphasis needs to be to improve.”

Q: Odell (Beckham, Jr.) had his weekly news conference yesterday and said it was the best he’s felt since sprain-ing his ankle while at the same time revealing it might be a “6-8 week thing.” You get reports every day. In your mind, is he still day-to-day on the practice field and you’re waiting for him to receive the okay from the medical staff?McAdoo: “Listen, we are prepared for the future, but we take a lot of things day-to-day, and this is one thing that we take day-to-day. We’ll get him the work that he needs and he can handle. Put him with the trainers, the medical staff, through the rehab and the conditioning and see how he wakes up the next day. If he improves, then he’ll have a chance to do a little bit more. If he doesn’t, then we will

Page 334: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

on a drive where we are still in the ballgame (trailing by 13 with 7:49 remaining). We had a chance to go down and score. We were getting close to midfield and if we just dumped the ball down there and continued to get north and south after the catch, we have a chance to go down and put points on the board. Sometimes, that’s what you have to do in those types of ballgames, where if they are dropping seven or eight with a lot of depth and rallying to the ball with vision, you have to set deep in the pocket, buy some time, and check the ball down and let the guys work for you there.”

Q: Staying with that theme, Eli threw four passes to Brandon Mar-shall. Do you want your quarterback to try to get a weapon like that more involved in the game, or do you prefer it be within the flow of the game?McAdoo: “Listen, you want to get everybody involved. You only play with one football and our opportunities early in the ballgame were few and far between. Brandon had a chance to be a target on a few opportunities where we had some breakdowns, we didn’t have a chance to get the ball out. That would have moved the chains for us. It ’s just the way the game went. It ’s unfortunate, but it ’s part of football.”

Q: (Second-round rookie) Dalvin Tomlinson started at defensive tackle. How did he play?

McAdoo: “Dalvin, the game wasn’t too big for him. He did some things well, he had some things that he has to learn from and grow and continue to improve, and he will.”

Q: Dalvin plays a physical position. (First-round tight end) Evan En-gram also started at a position that might present more of a mental challenge. For rookies playing in their first game, do you think it is harder for them mentally or physically? McAdoo: “I think there are a lot of adjustments that need to be made in that first game, especially in that type of atmosphere, on that type of fast track. I think they have to get used to the electricity, the physi-cality, the speed of the game, the adjustments that occur within the game. A lot of things changing, a lot of things happen quickly in pro football, but they definitely showed that it wasn’t too big for them.”

Q: You just played the Lions five games ago and yet their lineup has significantly changed. None of the five offensive linemen who played last year are in the same spots, the top two running backs (Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick) didn’t play last year, and they

have a rookie receiver (Kenny Golladay) who scored two touchdowns in their opening victory last week. When you studied them this week, do they look much different than they did nine months ago? McAdoo: “They are a different team. They are playing very well. They are hot. They had a nice come-from-behind win, which they can do. That has been (quarterback) Matthew Stafford’s M.O. The quarterback’s playing well, playing with a lot of confidence, extending plays. They possess some matchup problems for you, for anybody they play with the backs out of the backfield and the tight end with some size and speed in (Eric) Ebron, and the receivers that they do have. Whether it ’s a guy who is quick underneath or a big man that can run pretty well.

“On defense, it starts up front for them. They are doing a nice job of getting after the quarterback, pushing the pocket, and they mix in those wide nine fronts, which are a chal-lenge. They squeeze the pocket and they squeeze the run at the same time. (Jarrad) Davis is a young linebacker who’s continuing to grow and learn the pro game. They threw him in there right off the bat and he’s developing for them. (Free safety Glover) Quin does a good job directing the second-ary. They are very multiple. They have a lot of calls. Special teams is where they probably don’t get as much attention as they deserve. They are very good on special teams. They have a bunch of core players. They roll maybe eight different guys in there that have a lot of value on special teams for them, and they are very good.”

Q: Last year, you said their coverage teams were as good as any you had played. Are they still?McAdoo: “They are still very good. They have safeties and linebackers, too many to mention, really, that jump off the charts. They have pro special teams players.”

Q: It seems like every week you play a kicker who is one of the best. (Matt) Prater is pretty good.

McAdoo: “Yeah, Prater is pretty good. We are just out of the kickoff meeting, talking about not only is he good as a place-kicker, but whether he kicks off or shares kickoff duties, he’s dynamic with the placement of the ball and the hang (time).”

The McAdoo Report Week 3

I am not saying I am going to do it.”

Q: Some people were taken back that you were so blunt about Eli Manning’s “sloppy quarterback play.” Manning said people are getting too sensitive. Is that how you’ve always been with players – you are direct, you are blunt, this is what I think, this is what you need to do? McAdoo: “That’s the only way to operate. Usually it doesn’t happen in the media, but when we don’t get the ball snapped and the play clock runs out, that’s not good football. Looking back on it, I can make the decision faster, I can get the call in faster. I always look at myself critically, but it is up to Eli to get the ball snapped. That’s every quarterback everywhere since the beginning of time, since there was a play clock. That’s the case.”

Q: He stressed yesterday that you and he have a great re-lationship and that he told you when you arrived that he wants to be coached, and if he “screws up” to let him know. Have you guys always had that kind of give and take? I’m sure you’ve had private conversations where you’ve been very blunt with him, too. McAdoo: “I think there’s accountability when you’re a two-time winning Super Bowl quarterback you can be called out and not have hard feelings and understand how to take coaching, because he understands the game and wants to be coached and knows that’s how you stay in the game and keep sharp. I think that helps your team from an account-ability standpoint.”

Q: You were saying yesterday you haven’t had enough plays in normal down and distance situations. As you watch the tape, have you had opportunities to create more of those situations? McAdoo: “I think it ’s a complete team game. It ’s the ulti-mate team game. Starting a game with two three-and-outs two weeks ago against a ball possession outfit in Dallas, and we started last game (against Detroit) with a three-and-out. We had a chance to execute and move the ball and we didn’t get it done. There are plays to be made. Sure, there are better calls that could come in, but it ’s all tied together. It ’s a rhythm thing, it ’s a confidence thing, it ’s a game of confidence even at this level, and we need to figure that out in a hurry.”

Q: When did Calvin Munson know he was going to start at middle linebacker?McAdoo: “We got Calvin reps later in the week. At the end of the Thursday practice, he started getting some reps in there with the defense. He got Friday and Saturday, but as soon as we knew B.J. (Goodson) was going to be out of the ballgame, he knew he was up and his number was called and he didn’t flinch.”

The McAdoo ReportBy Michael EisenSeptember 22, 2017 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The McAdoo Report, an exclu-sive weekly interview with Giants head coach Ben McAdoo.

Q: When you have a team that’s not playing to its capa-bilities, is your most important job as a coach strategic or emotional? You don’t want these guys getting down on themselves after two games.McAdoo: “I agree. In the meeting (Wednesday), we talked about challenging each other and stepping up and being accountable to each other, and playing as one instead of independent contractors. We need our complete team foot-ball to show up to have a chance of winning on Sunday (in Philadelphia).”

Q: Is that as important in your mind than, for lack of a better phrase, a strategic plan?McAdoo: “I think everything is important. I think week in and week out, you have to put the players in a position to be successful. When the ball is snapped, the players have to execute. But, also, the mental makeup of the team is definitely important.”

Q: Do you ever use negative motivation – for example, telling the players you can’t afford to go 0-3? Or do you try to keep it positive at all times?McAdoo: “We don’t really talk about that. We talk about going out and putting our best foot forward, and preparing and doing everything we can to give ourselves a chance to win on Sunday. That’s the most important thing. You learn from the past, but carrying it forward doesn’t always help you. I think there are lessons to be learned from the past, but you’ve got to learn from them as you move forward. That’s the most important thing.”

Q: As a coach, how do you deal with a situation like this? Do you prioritize by saying if we fix A, it will help fix B and C?McAdoo: “Each man in the building has a job to do, and I expect them to do their job at the best of their ability this week. Players and coaches.”

Q: You said you would consider not calling the offensive plays. Is that difficult for you, because you trained for a long time to call plays, you’ve had a lot of success calling plays. Is it tough for you to even contemplate doing that?McAdoo: “No, whatever is best for the team to have success is important to me. It ’s not ego. I don’t have an ego in this thing. It ’s what I have to do to help the team be successful. If giving up plays means we can score one more point a game or one more yard a game, then I am willing to do it.

talked about how Detroit played the run on the way to the quarterback. Is the Eagles defense similar in that regard?McAdoo: “Yes, very similar in the way they play up front in their front four.”

Q: With (Brandon) Graham and (Fletcher) Cox, who al-ready have combined for 4.5 sacks, is this as good of a front as you’re going to see?McAdoo: “It’s as good and as deep. When they bring that second group in, they don’t get a lot of attention, but they are very good and they’re very deep in the front four, both inside and out.”

Q: How about in the back with (Malcom) Jenkins?McAdoo: “He’s sharp with his key and diagnose. He can recognize concepts and he’s quick to react, and he’ll take a chance and try to make a play on the ball, and we all know he can do that.”

Q: How much has (Carson) Wentz improved in his ability to move around the pocket, out of the pocket, and keep plays alive? McAdoo: “He seems like he has eyes in the back of his head now. He’s very aggressive trying to keep the play alive, slide in the pocket, come out of the pocket, and he’s not afraid to take a chance down the field and make a throw that’s a long opportunity ball for his guys. Throw it up to those big playmakers, whether it ’s the receivers or the tight end, to give him a chance to make a play down the field. It ’s up there and high and he’s definitely develop-ing.”

Q: “They’ve changed their perimeter game with (wide re-ceivers) Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith. Do they look a lot different on tape to you?McAdoo: “They have some speed out there and they have some size out there. They are friendly targets, both of those guys, for the quarterback. Whether he has a chance to throw him open or put the ball on the body, they can do a little bit of both. Don’t forget about (tight end Zach) Ertz. He’s a very talented player. He’s a smart player. You can see it with the way he knows how to find the holes in the zones and run away. Friendly for the quarterback versus his man.”

Q: Their return game is very good. The last three years they lead the league in both kickoff and punt return touch-downs. (Darren) Sproles is a lot of that, but is it just a good scheme? Good players?McAdoo: “I think they are talented, physical, and they are fast and just the fundamental part of the game they do a very good job of it.”

Q: It ’s an interesting dynamic on the defense because you’ve got veteran guys, guys who have been All-Pros and Pro Bowlers, and now you have a rookie free agent in the middle calling the signals. How did that all work, and did you like the way everyone else responded to Calvin?McAdoo: “I believe everyone on the defense raised their level and going into the game, that’s what they talked about. We had opportunities for players to step up and as-sume a bigger role on the defensive side last week, and the veteran players talked about it openly and we expected them to raise their level of play and for the most part we did.”

Q: One guy who stood out was DRC (Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie). With Janoris Jenkins inactive, he took nu-merous snaps both at corner and in the slot. How did he respond?McAdoo: “The opening third down of the game, he came up and made a nice tackle. DRC is one of our leaders, he’s one of our guys and he set the tone early in the ballgame and handled a high workload. Guys fed off of him.”

Q: A big play in the game was Jamal Agnew’s 88-yard punt return touchdown. What did you see on the punt re-turn? Was the punt too good?McAdoo: “No, essentially we flipped the field with the punt, we just have to make the tackle and we had guys in the vicinity. We had one missed tackle on the play, and then the fundamentals that we talk about from the first day didn’t show up. The long stride, short stride nipped us in the butt there. We need to do a better job with our fundamentals of long stride, short stride; we were long striding, and when you give a guy like that a seam, he can take it a long way.”

Q: If you had tackled him and the defense held, you would have had the ball in a one-score game. Did that break it open in your mind?McAdoo: “It changed the complexion of the game and the fourth quarter certainly. We felt offensively we had op-portunities to make plays. Didn’t necessarily handle the ball well, throwing it and catching it. More so catching it. We had a go route that we dropped right before that, that would have given us a chance to move the chains and have a big play that would have gotten us maybe to midfield or so, and that hurt us. Then right after that, having the punt return for a touchdown really swung the momentum in their favor. We were still in the ballgame in the fourth quarter with a chance to go down and score and respond with a defensive stop, and get the ball back and go down and score to tie it up. So I never felt like we were out of the ballgame at that point, but it certainly swung the momen-tum in their favor.”

Q: The day after the game on your conference call you

Page 337: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

The McAdoo Report Week 4

of the people who can make the plays for us. The players who can change the game and can change the score for us. But running the ball helps us stay balanced, it helps us play with physicality, and it helps us in pass protection as well.”

Q: You gave up 193 yards rushing yards last week, which is very uncharacteristic for your defense. They seemed to go to Olivier Vernon’s side a lot when he left the game. Do you think that had a lot to do with it, did the defense just not play the run well?McAdoo: “You can’t just point to one thing when you give up 193 yards rushing. The biggest thing for us is we need to destroy blocks better, and we need to tackle better. We had too many missed tackles, and everybody is a part of the run game. It ’s not just the defensive line, it ’s not just the linebackers, but the defensive backs’ fit in there as well. We need to tackle better.”

Q: On Odell’s (Beckham) second touchdown, Jalen Mills was right next to him. You often hear the phrase about a great receiver, “when he’s covered he’s open.” Is Odell one of those receivers? And is that always a good thing? Sometimes you might force the ball to him.McAdoo: “If Odell is one-on-one, throw it to him. If he’s one-on-one, throw him the ball. We have that much confi-dence in him. I’m pretty sure if you ask Eli (Manning), he has that much confidence in him. So if he’s one-on-one, he’s a guy you want to throw to.”

Q: So when he’s covered by one defender, he’s open?McAdoo: “That makes sense to me.”

Q: Sterling Shepard appeared to score on consecu-tive plays just prior to halftime, but neither touch-down counted. What would you tell him to do dif-ferently so they would be touchdowns?McAdoo: “Well the first one, he could give himself a little more room from a technique standpoint by the way he at-tacks the defender. That will give him an opportunity to get a little more depth, so he is running the thing inside of the goal line instead of just short of the goal line or right at the goal line. That will help him there. On the second one, on the dropped ball in the corner where he hit the ground, professional athletes and receivers in this league are very talented. My thing for him would be to look the ball into the tuck and trust your feet, because you’re a pro athlete and a receiver in this league, so you can catch the ball, look it in, secure it and roll on your side, and not necessarily look down to see if your feet are in bounds. Because once you look down, then you have a hard time securing the catch, because you’re going to land on the ball. When you land on the ball, it ’s going to come out.”

The McAdoo ReportBy Michael EisenSeptember 29, 2017 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The McAdoo report, an exclu-sive weekly interview with Giants head coach Ben McAdoo:

Q: Several players said this week they are shocked to be 0-3. Are you trying to stress that you see signs of improvement, and there is a long way to go? McAdoo: “I think for us right now, we need to focus on the details of our play. We need to learn the lessons that we’ve learned the first three weeks and focus on playing good football this week.”

Q: A last-second loss (like the Giants’ 27-24 defeat in Philadelphia) is always difficult, but did you see a lot of good things when you watched the tape? Were there positives that you could build on?McAdoo: “I think there were some encouraging things that we saw on film. Obviously, it ’s a tough way to lose to a division opponent on the road. You fight so hard to get back in the game after it being a two-score game. That’s probably the biggest thing for us as a team. That kind of game shows the type of fight that you have and the players that you have. We have a lot of fight left in us, and that’s a great place to start.”

Q: Why do you think the offense took off in the fourth quarter (when the Giants scored all 24 of their points)? McAdoo: “We just finished drives. I think the offense really moved the ball during the course of the first half. We had a dropped ball on a third down, we had an interception, we had plenty of opportunities to score points, because we were moving the ball consistently. We just weren’t finish-ing drives. So we had errors that we were in control of, whether it was a short-yardage error or the dropped ball on a third down, and then the interception down in the red zone hurt us. We had three drives that we were in control of with an opportunity to put points on the board, and we didn’t do it. And then the fourth down we didn’t convert there (at the Eagles’ one-yard line just before halftime). There were four opportunities right there where we were moving the ball and we just didn’t get points out of them, which hurts you.”

Q: Your passing game put up a lot of numbers. You didn’t run the ball as well as you wanted. What is your approach as you move onto the next game? Try to build on the passing game or try to get the running game going? McAdoo: “We obviously want to run the football. That’s important to us, but we need to get the ball in the hands

Page 338: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

with two big pass interference penalties and be-ing part of the coverage when the Eagles completed the pass that set up their game-winning field goal. He’s a young player, but do you think he’s already developed that mentality of being able to move on? McAdoo: “I think if he hasn’t shown that mentality, he wouldn’t be here, and that’s a big part of it. The play-ers who really have confidence in this league are the guys who truly buy into that, and try to perfect that as they go through their career. I think that is important for a corner, it is important for Eli. The encouraging thing about Eli is you saw he didn’t play the first deep ball in the game. Then he came back on the second deep ball and played it perfectly, in my mind. Whether that’s pass interference or not pass interference, you can debate that, but I’ll take that. I’ll take that any day of the week the way he played the ball. You learn over the course of the game, that’s huge for a player.”

Q: J.T. Thomas was placed on injured reserve for the second year in a row after working so hard to come back from his torn ACL. Is it hard to see a player go through that?McAdoo: “I feel for J.T. I know how hard he’s worked to get himself back on the field this year. We had a couple hiccups last year and then to get back on the field this year and to be a big part of this team. To have that taken away is tough to swallow for him, and we wish him nothing but the best and a healthy recovery.”

Q: Sunday’s opponent, the Buccaneers, doesn’t have its best running back, Doug Martin, but it seems to still have numerous offensive weapons.McAdoo: “They have a very good skill group. They have size and athleticism and speed at the receiver and the tight end spots, and that makes anybody tough to defend. Then when your quarterback is a player who is capable of get-ting hot, has a ton of confidence and a big arm, you obvi-ously have to be well-prepared.”

Q: You talked about (Gerald) McCoy this week. The defense starts with him up front, but you can’t over-look the linebackers, (Lavonte) David and (Kwon) Alexander.McAdoo: “They are very good. They feed off of them. Mc-Coy makes messes and they are fast and aggressive to the football. They do a great job of seeing the ball, getting the ball and they run. They are kind of like big safeties play-ing the linebacker spot, physical players, but they can fly.”

Q: Very few of (Bryan) Anger’s punts get returned and when they do, Josh Robinson, an outstanding gunner, is usually right there. McAdoo: “Anger is a guy that is very good with his hang. He puts the ball where he wants to put it. So his location and his hang time give them a great advantage there.”

Q: This is the ultimate team game, but (punter) Brad Wing has been very hard on himself, blaming himself for the last two losses. He said one team-mate who approached him was Eli Manning, who told him he’s thrown interceptions on potential game-winning drives. Does Eli often exhibit that kind of leadership without us hearing about it?McAdoo: “Eli’s experienced a lot of highs in this profession, and when you experience that many highs, you’re obvi-ously going to have some moments that you would like to have back that you learn from and you grow from. So who better to help educate younger players in this league than Eli? I know he does things behind the scenes, but I don’t always get to hear or see them, either. That’s just the way he goes about everything. In the locker room, with the media, with his teammates, that’s the way he lives his life. He likes to be under the radar.”

Q: People kind of think of Eli as a stationary quar-terback who doesn’t move in the pocket and chang-es little from week-to-week. But last week you incorporated more tempo into the game, and he played very well. Is Eli a little more flexible about playing different ways than we give him credit for? McAdoo: “We saw in 2014. It was a challenge for him to change systems, but he was all in on it, and he really made a lot of progress and is still making progress, and still working on things and still learning. It ’s not that he’s inflexible, it just takes time. He’s motivated, he’s focused, he’s into the plan each and every week, and when you make subtle changes like that, he buys in and he works hard to execute.”

Q: You have just two takeaways in three games, neither of them interceptions. You don’t want any-one straying from their assignment, but is there anything you can do to take the ball away more often?McAdoo: “Turnovers for defenses that makes messes, they come in bunches. It ’s like receivers when they get balls. They usually come in bunches. You can’t go chasing them. That’s the last thing you want to do. You don’t want to go outside of the system and try to create them. You just want to do your job, do it at a high level and when your opportunities come, you have to be ready for them, you have to cash in on them. That’s why the ball drills at this point in time in the season for the DBs are very important, because they don’t have their chance to get their hands on a lot of footballs. So just capitalizing on those opportuni-ties in practice, and when the game comes you’ll get your opportunities. They’ll come sooner rather than later, and cash in on them when they do come.”

Q: It’s often said that if a cornerback gives up a long pass, he has to forget about it immediately and move on. Does that hold true for a rough game? Eli Apple did not play his best game in Philadelphia,

Page 339: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

The McAdoo Report Week 5

sible. Give them a chance to go out and play fast, stick their foot in the ground and be more physical and aggressive up front on both sides of the ball, and let their natural talents come out.”

Q: Do you have to guard against making your game plan too simple? Is that a concern?

McAdoo: “No, it definitely isn’t a concern. We’re more wor-ried about us more than the opponent. We feel if we go out and execute at a high level, then we control our own destiny. It ’s important that we play in the framework of how we want to play. Keep penalties to a minimum, that’s important for us. Play physical, play heavy handed, win the turnover battle.”

Q: You haven’t scored in the first quarter yet. It didn’t re-ally affect you the past couple games. You scored 24 in the fourth quarter in Philly and 17 in the middle quarters at Tampa Bay. But if you could get a couple of scores early, what do you think that would do psychologically for your team? McAdoo: “I’d love to find out. That’s something we’ll have to see how this team plays. We’ve been working hard at the beginning of games. Things haven’t panned out early for us. We’ve moved the ball. It ’s not that we haven’t moved the ball. We just haven’t finished drives. Getting points early in the ballgame would be a big boost for our football team, and playing with a lead would be something that we would look forward to. As the games have gone, we have fallen behind early, we’ve really had to battle back in the second and third quarters the last couple weeks and expend a lot of energy to do that, and take the lead. We’ve taken the lead in ballgames four times. But we haven’t been able to extend the lead once we’ve gotten the lead. We just need to play with the same sense of urgency that we do in the second and third quarters throughout the game.”

Q: How much could your defense improve, especially against the run, simply if you tackled better? And how much can you work on tackling throughout the course of a normal week? McAdoo: “Come to practice (Thursday). We’re going to spend some time working on tackling. We’re going to have a bigger emphasis on wrapping and rolling on our gator roll tackles. And we are going to thud up good in the team periods and make sure we get some work on thudding, on wrapping, and on releasing. Again, we don’t want to take guys to the ground. You only have so many running backs on your roster, so we can’t be teeing off on our running backs. But it ’s important for us to improve as a tackling football team. Blocking, tackling, catching, punting, and kicking are all important, but nothing is more important

The McAdoo ReportBy Michael EisenOctober 6, 2017 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The McAdoo Report, an exclu-sive weekly interview with Giants head coach Ben McAdoo:

Q: Whenever a team has a rough start, the players are asked if the locker room is fracturing. Is that a concern of yours? How much do you rely on your veteran leadership?McAdoo: “I think we have talented men of integrity throughout. We lost a couple close ballgames there, the last two right at the end. We’re playing better football. We have yet to put a complete game together, but we have character. Our locker room has a lot of character. Guys are sticking together, staying positive. Guys are fighting through and the leaders are fighting and that certainly helps because a lot of the young guys will follow when the leaders fight. The biggest concern is guys can’t get numb. You have to stay emotionally engaged and we can’t get used to this feeling.”

Q: They talked against battling adversity and how their backs are against the wall. Is that the type of attitude you want from them?McAdoo: “Absolutely. Adversity introduces a man to him-self. You really get to learn a lot about yourself and your teammates when you get off to rough starts. We still have a lot of football left to play, and we’re still working hard to seek that first win. Everything is correctable and we have to have confidence in ourselves and our teammates so we can get this thing going in the right direction.”

Q: Your focus is on the next opponent, but do you ever talk to them about the big picture? You still have three quarters of the season to play. Nothing has been decided.McAdoo: “We talked about the fact that we have a lot of football left to play. Some of these rookies haven’t played. We have 12+ games left and they haven’t maybe in their career played this many games. So it ’s a long season. We have a lot of football left to play and we’re going to im-prove as the year goes on. That’s something that we’ve talked about early and often, that we got to get a little bit better each week. We just have to find a way to come up with a win.”

Q: You said earlier in the week when you looked on the tape, it looked like sometimes the players are pressing or that they’re hesitant and that you want to simplify things. What does simplifying things do? Does it make them play more instinctively?McAdoo: “I think when you do simple better, it gives the players a chance to let their natural instincts come out a little bit more. You reduce the thinking as much as pos-

Page 340: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

ping the run.”

Q: Has Evan brought to your offense what you hoped he would the day you drafted him? McAdoo: “Evan’s a young player. He’s learning each and every day and he works at it. He gets football, he likes football. So that helps. But he is a young player and he has a lot of learning to do.”

Q: You’ve had to make a lot of changes on your offensive line and you might have to make another one this week if Weston Richburg can’t play. The center is in charge of communicating on the of-fensive line. Is Brett (Jones) ready to step in and handle that? McAdoo: “We have guys in that room that we have confidence in, and they’ve been here with us for a couple of years. They’ve earned the opportunity if Weston (Richburg) can’t play to be the next man up.”

Q: Did you have auditions to be a fullback and Kerry Wynn won? How did you pick Kerry Wynn to play fullback? McAdoo: “You got me to smile. Kerry Wynn is one of the better strikers we have on the team, especially on special teams when you see him in space. And we thought that’s a good skill to use for the full-back position.”

Q: You’re preparing to face the Chargers. The strength of their defense is in their front with (Mel-vin) Ingram and (Joey) Bosa. Are they similar to each other? McAdoo: “No, they are different. Bosa is a big, long man built a little like (J.J) Watt. Has some size to him. He’s a good run defender. He’s a physi-cal player and he has some length. Good athlete. Ingram is an explosive player. He likes to play on two feet so they can play him on two feet or bring him out of a three point. They’ll move him around a little bit. But he’s very explosive. He can run. He has some dynamic traits as a pass rusher.”

Q: Having two of those guys on the line, how big of a challenge is that for an offensive line?

McAdoo: “They’re very challenging. They’re good run players and good rushing the passer and they can move both of those guys around, too. They are not just in one spot. So we’ll always have to know where they are at all times.”

Q: Except for Travis Benjamin, all of their receivers and tight ends are 6-2 or bigger. Does that in itself create a problem for a defense when you have so many tall receivers? Or is it more the skill than the height? McAdoo: “It’s tough to cover big men. Their target

tackling.”

Q: You have said you have been practicing well, what are your thoughts about not being able to take what you have been doing in practice into the game? McAdoo: “People always want to compare 2016 to 2017. After four games this year versus four games last season, I don’t think we are that different of a football team. We just found a way to close games out in a couple of ballgames last year, and we haven’t been able to do that this year. I’m confident that we will be able to do that. We have the men in the locker room to get that done. We have the scheme to get that done in all three phases, it’s not just one phase. But I have confidence in that area and everything is correctable.”

Q: You were asked yesterday about the defense’s inability to stop opposing tight ends, but opponents are having a difficult time stopping your tight end (Evan Engram), too. Are there more good tight ends now around the league than you’ve seen recently?McAdoo: “I think it goes in cycles. For a while there, it was very hard. You go back to 2009, 2008, there were some good tight ends coming out of the draft. Some playmakers, some special weapons. And there really has been a little bit of a dry run there. Re-cently, you’ve had some dynamic guys come out, some playmakers come out. Some guys that can change the score of the game as well as offer you skills in blocking.

“That’s where Evan shows up. He works hard at blocking, he works hard at special teams, and he can make plays in the pass game. When you have a tight end, whether it’s here or anywhere else, who’s a playmaker in the pass game, it provides challenges for the defense, because the game is about players and the game is about matchups. The more guys you have that create matchups, if you give the quarterback time, he can move the ball and put points on the board. So you have to figure out from a defensive perspective who can wreck a game. Is it the number one receiver if he’s a 4.4 re-ceiver or a 4.3 receiver that can run down the field, you better make sure you tilt that safety to him and have coverage tilted to him so you know where he is. And you may have to double him, because he can change the game in one play. If they have another receiver who’s a good player, you may have to do the same thing, so all of a sudden, you have two guys you have to match up on. Then you have to stop the run and all of a sudden, the third or the fourth piece is that tight end, and if he’s dynamic even underneath maybe not as a vertical threat, but even underneath, he can have a big day against you. But it may not hurt you as much in the grand scheme of things as some of the receivers and stop-

radius is huge. They have a variety of guys that fit that mold. They’re friendly targets for the quarter-back. So even when they’re not open, he (Philip Rivers) has a chance to complete the ball and that’s a huge challenge for the defense.”

Q: When you watch Keenan Allen, does it look like he missed a year with his ACL? He has two 100-yard games already.McAdoo: “I think he’s one of the most underrated players in this league when he’s out there and healthy. I think he is a special talent. He plays the game faster than whatever he timed the 40 at. He can cover some ground. He can stick his foot in the ground and drop his weight for a big man, which is usually hard to find. And obviously he has tremen-dous hands, big hands. He’s a good hands catcher.”

Page 342: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

nitely the way to go.”

Q: It ’s a cut-throat business, but you still have a fra-ternity of coaches, you still have friends and mentors in football. When you go through a tough time like this, do you get texts or calls from people you know saying, “hang in there, you’ll get through this?” McAdoo: “Tough times come, tough times go. Tough people last, and usually you hear from some other tough people when you’re going through these types of times. Whether it ’s in this profession or whether it ’s in another professional sport. You hear from people who have gone through similar types of things and have found a way to rebound, or maybe have not found a way to rebound. But it ’s good to hear from mentors and familiar voices and talk to people who can help you out a little bit. But at the end of the day, it ’s inside this building. It ’s inside this building, inside the locker room with the players and the coaches and the rest of the building. Get everybody to continue to pull in the same direction and speaking the same language and believing.”

Q: What do you like about Donte Deayon, who you signed off the practice squad to replace Rodgers-Cromartie?McAdoo: “Donte Deayon brings a lot of energy to the game. He loves football, he gets football, and we’re excited to go out there and give him an opportunity to compete.”

Q: Losing four players at one position (wide receiver) as you did last week, have you ever been through something like that? McAdoo: “I’m excited to get these young guys up and give them a chance to compete. T.K. (Tavarres King) is a guy that has been a workhorse for us. We had to let him go for a brief period of time. It ’s exciting that we can bring him back and give him an opportunity to go out and play. No one thought it would be like this, but it ’s exciting to get him out there and (Travis) Rudolph, giving Roger (Lewis) a bigger load as a receiver and get-ting (Ed) Eagan up there. It ’s exciting for the tight ends, I’m sure. So we’re excited to go out and see where our program is and developing players and giving them a chance to go out and compete at a high level versus a tremendous defense.”

Q: How helpful is it that you brought in guys that know the system and you’re not starting from scratch at this point in the season? McAdoo: “I think it just shows you the strength of the program to be able to have the next-man-up mentality and trust that you have good, quality depth behind the players that won’t be playing.”

The McAdoo ReportBy Michael EisenOctober 13, 2017

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The McAdoo Report, Giants.com’s exclusive weekly interview with head coach Ben McAdoo:

Q: The game Sunday night in Denver represents your biggest challenge as a head coach. You’re playing a good team in a difficult venue, you have inexperienced receiv-ers, injuries to key players, a suspended player (Domi-nique Rodgers-Cromartie). Do you stick to your mantra that this is one of 16 games, or do you really present to the players that you have a special challenge? McAdoo: “It is one of sixteen. We talked as a team about playing a big game on a big stage. It ’s a great opportu-nity for a lot of the guys who probably didn’t think they would be playing at this point, and that part of it is ex-citing for them. It ’s exciting for us. Nobody is giving us a chance in this ballgame. They ’re saying without Odell (Beckham, Jr.), we can’t score points. Our defense lost its stinger and our special teams aren’t showing up the way they are capable of showing up. So we need to go out on this big stage and prove that we’re a good football team, and show the world what we’re capable of doing.”

Q: Have you been pleased with the way the players have responded? Not just to being 0-5, but the hit you took with all the injuries you suffered against the Chargers? McAdoo: “I thought Wednesday was an excellent practice. We had a lot of energy, the offense was crisp, the ball hit the ground two times throughout the whole practice. We had a lot of new pieces in there working. We didn’t miss a beat that way. We need to make sure we carry that over to the game, but guys have responded in a positive way with some energy.”

Q: When you go through a challenging period as a team, you can stay the course and try to improve on what you’re doing or you can change things up. Where do you lie on that spectrum? A little bit of each? McAdoo: “Yeah, I think fundamentals, we’re trying to get better. Sound, smart and tough. Committed to discipline. Poise, we’re trying to improve it. We try to change things up a little bit to take the monotony out of things. Like (Thursday), we switched up the practice a little bit. We’ve been switching the meetings up a little bit, we’ve been changing up the messages with who’s talking and when they ’re talking to the team. And really the night before the game, those meeting we’ve been changing them up a little bit, so it ’s a little bit of everything and anything. You never lose your core principles and what you believe in, but a little change-up is good and positivity is defi-

stay in the moment better. I talked to them about it yes-terday. Staying in the moment better. Sometimes it looks that we’re trying too hard instead of playing hard. Make sure you’re focused, your concentration is where it needs to be and play hard when the ball is snapped.”

Q: Usually when we discuss the opposing team, we start with the skill players. But with the Broncos, their offen-sive and defensive lines are outstanding. Is that where it starts with Denver? McAdoo: “They ’re giving up what, 50 yards rushing a game? They ’re very good on defense on all three levels, they ’re physical, they ’re fast, they tackle well. Very good defense. Offensive line, they re-built it somewhat and they ’re good up front. Added a first round pick at left tackle (Garrett Boles). He’s playing at a good level for them. They work to run the ball and are physical running the ball and the play action comes off of it.”

Q: What are your impressions of the Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian? McAdoo: “Things that stand out are his footwork, his con-fidence, and throwing in rhythm with anticipation. He’s able to extend plays, not just in the pocket with sliding and moving, but outside of the pocket. He’s very good on the move and he’s comfortable on the move. And, re-ally, the play action game helps him tremendously when they get a run game going. He has those receiving threats down the field in (Emmanuel) Sanders and (Demaryius) Thomas, and that really helps him create separation.”

Q: If you watched a tape of the Broncos defense and they weren’t wearing numbers, would Von Miller stand out? McAdoo: “Von Miller and (Shaq) Barrett on the other side, he flashes some, too. Von, his first step is impres-sive. It ’s like trying to block a 250-pound sprinter.”

Q: Lastly, your coverage teams have to be on top of their game against their returners, (Cody) Latimer and (Isa-iah) McKenzie. McAdoo: “Absolutely. It will be a tough task, but we defi-nitely feel confident in our coverage teams. We’ll have to be smart with how we place the ball and how we hang it up there, but we’re definitely confident in our coverage teams.”

Q: Do you have to alter the way you game plan because you have inexperienced receivers? McAdoo: “I think you have to look at things through a little bit of a different lens when you plan, but I’m going to keep that to myself.”

Q: You mentioned Roger Lewis is going to take on a larg-er role. He’s your most experienced receiver now. What do you like about Roger and what makes you think he is ready to take that on? McAdoo: “Roger has been around here for two years now. He has the size, he has the speed, he’s been in the sys-tem, it ’s not too big for him. I’m sure he’s excited to go out there and prove that he can be a receiver and not just a special teams player; that he can play both roles as a special teamer and as a wide receiver in this league, and it will be great to watch.”

Q: How important is it to have a calming influence like Eli (Manning) on the field this week and on Sunday night? McAdoo: “That ’s Eli. One of his biggest strengths is he is very consistent with the way he handles things. That speaks volumes. The players will feed off of that and it will have a calming influence on them, and they ’ll have a chance to go out and play with a calm mind, which will be helpful in that type of venue.”

Q: You didn’t just lose wideouts, you lost your return spe-cialist in Dwayne Harris.McAdoo: “Travis (Rudolph) and (Ed) Eagan have been around here throughout training camp and so far this year, and they ’ll get an opportunity to showcase what they can do. Next man up. Don’t worry about the guys you lost, we got to worry about the guys we have and coach them up.”

Q: Why did you run the ball so much better last week? Did (substitute right guard) D.J. Fluker make that much of a difference? McAdoo: “I think it was a little bit of everything. I think we blocked better up front, so you have to give credit to the offensive line, not just one man, but the whole group as a unit. The tight ends had a better day. We had four explosive runs (more than 10 yards). The receivers played a big factor in the explosive runs, springing them. Backs ran hard, we broke tackles; we had 102 yards after contact. Anytime you have 102 yards after contact, you had the backs run hard.”

Q: You had a couple of false starts, defensive offsides, an illegal shift. Are those penalties a result of lack of concentration? McAdoo: “They ’re focus, lack of concentration, we got to

The McAdoo Report Week 7

correcting a player. Anything you can do to help the team. It was interesting on Sunday night for the first time in a long time not calling plays, where I guess I could move around with a little more energy and vigor than I usually can. Your normal coaching personality comes out a little bit more when you don’t call the plays, simply because of thinking ahead from just a playcaller standpoint. You’re always thinking ahead from a game management standpoint, but when you remove the actual calling of the plays, it changes some things. I guess your personality comes out a little bit more on the sideline. So that was fun for me.”

Q: Was there ever a time where Sully (Mike Sullivan) made a call and you were like, “oh no, not that?”McAdoo: “That ’s something that stays between us. We keep all of those conversations that happen on the head-set personal and professional. But there were a couple times in the game where I started looking ahead to see if I could lend a hand. But you had to be smart that way if you’re going to give someone an opportunity to call the game, you want to give them the opportunity to do that.”

Q: The way that you won on Sunday night - running the ball, throwing to the tight end (Evan Engram), because you didn’t have your wide receivers - do you think that says something about the coaching staff and the players’ ability to change things on the fly and be flexible when different issues arise? McAdoo: “That ’s what this league is about. Roles change and you have to reinvent yourself a few times, usually, during the course of a season. And when you have a staff and a locker room that is flexible and has integrity and is willing, that helps.”

Q: Orleans Darkwa has been here since 2014 and has been very patient waiting for his opportunity to be a regular contributor. He has a patient personality, but is he a patient runner on the field? McAdoo: “He’s an instinctive runner. He knows where to run. I think his courses and the pace in the way he runs times up very well with the schemes. He understands the game, he understands where the hole is going to be, he knows where his reads are and he times his pace to the hole very well. And he’s a bigger man. He’s bigger than you would think, he’s heavier than you would think just looking at him. And he hits the hole strong.”

Q: Did you think it was to your advantage that the Bron-cos threw 54 passes the other night? McAdoo: “Anytime that you outrush a team by 102 yards (148-46), anytime you win the battle of the hitting game, I think it helps. I think that situational football was big in the ballgame, too. I think the goal line stop by the

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The McAdoo Report, Giants.com’s exclusive weekly interview with head coach Ben McAdoo:

Q: This is an interesting week, because you no longer have the pressure of trying to get your first win, and you have the bye week after the home game against Seattle on Sunday. How are you monitoring the players’ mental preparation this week? McAdoo: “This week was one of our four west coast trips. We considered Denver a west coast trip. So we wanted to make sure we gave the players plenty of time on Monday and Tuesday to rest up for the week. We were smart about how we went about our business in Wednesday ’s practice. Half speed, half jog, so they had a lot of mental work on Wednesday. We put the pads on briefly on Thursday, then took them off halfway through. So we are factoring that into the equation. Playing on a Sunday night on a long flight coming back, but the players seem sharp and ready to go.”

Q: You just answered part of my next question – you’re cutting back on some of the physical work this week?McAdoo: “We’re taking health into consideration. Recov-ery is a big part of it. When you play a Sunday night game and you have a long flight after, you don’t get back until late. We want to make sure we give the players as much of an opportunity at the beginning of the week to be fresh, to get their rest so they can recover and build them up as the week goes on.”

Q: What was it like the other night not calling the plays? Did it seem strange to you? Did you feel like you had more time to do other things?McAdoo: “I enjoy calling plays. That ’s fun for me. But I felt earlier in the week that more things would require my attention, so I wouldn’t be able to prepare the way I normally would. Things that I could not delegate, I had to focus my attention on and playcalling was something that I could delegate. So I delegated it and it worked out for the best.”

Q: Usually when we’re on defense, you’re looking at the sheet planning the next series. Were you still doing that or were you doing other things? McAdoo: “I work hard at staying in the moment of the game. Whether we’re on offense, whether we’re on defense or special teams, you work hard at staying in the moment so you can contribute in all three phases. Whether it ’s grabbing a player, encouraging a player,

Page 345: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

get their hands on a lot of footballs. So it will be a big challenge for us offensively.”

Q: You have a terrific safety here in Landon (Collins), but their duo of (Earl) Thomas and (Kam) Chancellor, is that about the best you’ve seen? McAdoo: “I’ll have to look across the league, but it ’s defi-nitely going to be a big challenge for us this weekend.”

Q: They run so many designed rollouts and bootlegs with Russell Wilson, and he can do so much outside the pocket - how important is it this week to keep him bottled up? McAdoo: “They move him around a little bit. That ’s no surprise. The other thing they ’re doing with him is they ’re playing a lot of empty. So they ’ll empty the backfield out, they ’ll drop him back and they ’ll let him create a little bit on the move. He can get the ball out on time, he has accuracy, he has touch. But when you spread everybody out and play a little bit of grass bas-ketball, it allows him to create using the whole field with a bunch of space. And I think that ’s where he can really be dangerous. So we need to bottle him up, not just on the designed rollouts, but more from just dropping back and looking for someone to lose their lane and be ready to take advantage of it.”

Q: A guy like that can frustrate a defense if he breaks loose and makes a big play. Is it important for your play-ers not to get frustrated when that happens? McAdoo: “Yeah, we always talk about staying in the mo-ment and playing the next play. The most important play is the next one. You always have to flush the last ones, so that ’s just a part of our mental makeup.”

Q: Most teams now split up the kickoff and punt return, but (Tyler) Lockett does both. He’s been in the top 10 in the league in both in the last two years. Does his versatil-ity and skill as a returner present issues for you? McAdoo: “He’s a very confident player. You saw that com-ing out. He’s a very strong returner for not a large man. He knows where the crease is going to be. He can be a middle returner or he can be an edge returner. And he hits it, he hits it fast. He sees it and he trusts it and that ’s a big part of it.”

defense, the coming out series right after that by the offense, and then the four-minute offensive series with points was very big in the ballgame.”

Q: Jason Pierre-Paul had three sacks, he led the team in tackles. When he has a game like that and they have to start paying more attention to him, how does that help the entire defense? McAdoo: “JPP is a very talented guy. Showed up produc-tion-wise in a big way the other night. He can do that and create messes all over the field. He’s a guy that can wreck a game. He can go into a game and wreck a game for the opponent, and that ’s something that I’m attracted to when I watch him play. We try to bring out the best in him and it was great to see him play that well the other night.”

Q: What did you think of Donte Deayon’s first game?

McAdoo: “Donte provides a lot of energy for the whole team. He loves football. He gets football and he had a nice start to his NFL career the other night.”

Q: When you look at him, do you say he’s a good player for his size (listed at 5-9) or do you say he’s a good player? McAdoo: “I think he’s a good player. Obviously, when you’re evaluating players there is a certain height, weight and speed that you’re looking for. It ’s no secret he doesn’t fit into that. He carries that with him as a chip on his shoulder. He’s not afraid to mention to me that he feels like he’s getting taller as the season goes on. But he’s an impactful young man.”

Q: Probably no one outside of Green Bay can understand what Aaron Rodgers is going through after suffering another fractured collarbone. You were his quarterbacks coach when it happened four years ago. What were your thoughts when you heard he did that again? McAdoo: “I’ll say this, I think the whole game suffers and the league suffers when you lose a player like that. He’s one of the best, if not the best player in the league, and my heart goes out to him and the organization.”

Q: Seattle has a lot of defensive players that have been in the system for a long time. When you have a group with that much experience, is it hard to fool a defense? McAdoo: “They ’ve played a lot of football together, they have a lot of talented players, and the players get foot-ball. When you play together that long and you get foot-ball, you know where the weaknesses are in your scheme, the weaknesses tend to shrink a little bit. So they ’re a very good defense on all three levels. They have speed, they can impact a game, they tackle very well and they

The McAdoo Report Week 9

year. So there’s not as much wiggle room there. When you take a look back at last year, B.J Goodson and Paul Perkins and Roger Lewis and guys like that, they didn’t get a lot of reps on offense and defense. Darian Thomp-son is another guy. Those guys are already out there playing a significant amount of snaps for us this year.”

Q: When you self-scout during the season, do you ever find things that surprise you?

McAdoo: “The game has changed that way. You used to not do self-scouting until the bye week. You used to never self-scout. Then you started to self-scout at the bye week. But now, we do it every week. So now you look at it every week and every situation. You really begin every meeting by learning more about yourself and then focusing on your opponent, because you want to be aware of what the opponent is looking at when you play the game. Ev-ery part of the game is a situation now. It ’s broken up that way, so you want to make sure you know who you are first.”

Q: When you come back from the bye, are there things you look for from the team to make sure that their minds are focused on the task and they are ready to go? McAdoo: “Usually the first practice back from the bye, the Monday practice, isn’t a good one. Guys have been out, they ’ve been doing different things. It ’s usually one that ’s just to get them out there and to get a sweat in. But we actually had a pretty good practice that Monday, and that ’s really par for the course all year. I think we’re a team that practices really well. We practice, in my opin-ion, better than we did last year. So that ’s something we show up, we’re ready to work. We push each other in practice, we practice hard, we practice with energy. So that ’s encouraging moving forward.”

Q: Last year the defense finished 10th in yards allowed and second in points allowed. This year you’re 27th and 17th. Why do you think that ’s happening? McAdoo: “It ’s hard to just point to one thing. We still have a lot of football left to play as well. But I think it ’s a combination of all three phases. I’m sure if you ask the defensive players and the defensive coaches, they want to take complete ownership for it. But I think as a football team, we’re not playing complete football in all three phases. That has a part to do with it. I think impacting the passer has a big part to do with it and being consis-tent stopping the run. That ’s where it starts and ends. And getting off the field on third down.”

Q: You’ve allowed many more points in the second and fourth quarters (112) than you have in the first and third (44). Does that baffle you as a coach when you see that

The McAdoo ReportBy Michael EisenNovember 3, 2017

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The McAdoo Report, Giants.com’s exclusive weekly interview with head coach Ben McAdoo:

Q: You said last year you didn’t like the bye because you “cherish the grind.” Last year, you entered the bye on a two-game winning streak. Did you feel differently about the bye this year? McAdoo: “It came at exactly the same time as it did last year. The biggest difference is we were coming off a home game as opposed to coming off a trip overseas. You can always spin it as it comes at a good time for the team. But I feel the same way. I’d rather just keep on going than split it up, but I think it ’s healthy for the players.”

Q: You’ve said several times that you wanted the players to get away from football a little bit. Did you want to get away? McAdoo: “It ’s hard to get away. You may remove your-self from the building a little bit, but your thoughts are always on the team, and you’re always looking ahead to the next opponent and looking back, trying to learn a little bit more about your team and how you got to where you were.”

Q: Do you watch football during the bye? McAdoo: “Yeah, I love football. When your passion and your life’s work meet, it ’s hard to get away from it. So whether it ’s spending time with the family or whatever I’m doing, I have a game on in the background. I may not be dialed into it necessarily, but it ’s good background noise.”

Q: Does (daughter) Larkin still call plays? McAdoo: “Larkin, she used to do the play by play. (Son) BJ’s starting to get into the game a little bit more now. He can follow along pretty good. But the whole family, they ’re football fans.”

Q: Last year, you were 4-3 at the bye. This year, you’re 1-6. Does the self-scouting follow a different procedure because of the record? McAdoo: “We are pretty consistent with what we do. You really have a pretty good idea going in on what you need to spend your time on. Personnel is always a part of it. The difference between this year and last year is a lot of the guys that we are playing with this year is by necessity. Last year, we had to interject some young players into the lineup the second half of the year to get some reps and some experience and those guys are already playing this

Q: From a football standpoint, will the secondary be able to adjust easily without Janoris Jenkins (suspended for Sunday ’s home game vs. the Rams) because they just played a game without DRC (Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who was suspended for the victory in Denver)? Or is it apples and oranges, because DRC plays so often in the slot? McAdoo: “Jackrabbit (Jenkins) is one of our best players, but we’re very confident in the defensive backs that we have. We have guys that are flexible, that are versatile, play different spots, can play inside, can play outside. So I’m confident we’ll put a plan together and put these guys in position to be successful.”

Q: Are you confident your kicker (Aldrick Rosas) and punter (Brad Wing) will have better second halves? McAdoo: “Yes, I’m confident. (Brad) is a weapon for us. Give him opportunities to down the ball inside the 10. I’m confident that he’ll get his season turned around. I’m also confident that Aldrick’s going to continue to im-prove. He’s a young player who continues to take steps, and he’s only going to get better with reps.”

Q: (The Rams’) Todd Gurley is second in the league in yards from scrimmage. Is his improvement the biggest difference in their offense, or is it the eight new starters? McAdoo: “He was a good player last year, and he has an opportunity this year playing more plays. They ’re having some more success on offense, they ’re getting turnovers, so they ’re putting him in position where they can get him touches - 30-plus touches a game is what they ’re doing, running the football, and he’s getting a significant num-ber of those touches. The more times you hand the ball to a dynamic player, the more first downs you get, the better he’s going to be. The key is you just can’t let him get started, because he can beat you in a variety of ways. He has speed, he has power, he has vision and the more he touches the ball, the tougher he gets.”

Q: Five of their front seven on defense are former first round picks, but as you look at them on tape, is Aaron Donald clearly the lead dog up there?

McAdoo: “They have a lot of guys that can make a lot of plays in a lot of different ways in their front seven. They are explosive and they are fast. Donald definitely jumps off the film. He can get an edge, he can beat a guard inside. But they have a lot of guys that can make plays. (Robert) Quinn can make plays, (Michael) Brock-ers doesn’t get the recognition that he deserves up front. Their two linebackers (Alec Ogletree and Mark Barron), they run like the wind and have a nose for the ball.”

differential? McAdoo: “You go back and you take a look at it, for sure. Two minute, we haven’t been very successful on offense or defense. So I think it ’s pretty evident when you look at the numbers that way, and then you take a look at situations like where we are in two-minute on both sides of the ball. We haven’t been very successful there and I think a lot of it points to that.”

Q: (Justin) Pugh is not practicing and there is a chance you will start your sixth offensive line combination in eight games. Coaches always talk about continuity and communication on the offensive line - how has that been impacted by so many different combinations? McAdoo: “I think that these guys have been around each other. Whoever starts at right tackle has been out at right tackle with (D.J.) Fluker at right guard. Whether they ’ve started or not, it does factor, but the communication has been there and they have worked together in practice really all season long. We’ve approached practice since we got here in training camp rolling different players in there, because we weren’t sure how the lineup was going to shake out. So we wanted to give guys every opportuni-ty to work next to each other, and it just so happens that that ’s the case this year. I think continuity is important up front, but when you don’t have it, it gives guys opportuni-ties to show what they can do.”

Q: Landon Collins said he hasn’t been as dominant this year as he was last season. He said teams are sliding protections toward him and focusing on him in the run game. Do you see that?McAdoo: “You have to know where the team’s best play-ers are, and Landon is one of our best players. He attracts a lot of attention from the opponent. They have a plan going in on how they want to deal with him. In the box, he is a nightmare in the run game, and he’s very good at pressuring the quarterback. So their quarterbacks and their offensive coordinators are always in tune to where he is, and they have to plan on how they are going to handle him.”

Q: Do you notice that they ’re focusing in on him more now than they did last year before he became an elite player? McAdoo: “I just think that he had such a year last year where he was a very productive player for us, and he’s still productive for us. But he was a very productive player for us last year. He was healthy throughout the entire season last year. And when you have a year like he had last year, teams are aware of him going into the ball-game, and they might have spent some time on him in the offseason and they ’re going to formulate a plan on a guy like that.”

Page 348: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

Q: They have (kicker) Greg “The Leg” (Zuerlein), (punter (Johnny) Hekker, (return specialists) (Pharoh) Coopwe and (Tavon) Austin. For a punter, kicker, return group, is this about as good as you face this year? McAdoo: “They ’re very talented and they ’re very creative on what they do with them. Hekker, he throws the ball like a quarterback. Very talented. We know Zuerlein can make them all. He’s always one of the leading scorers in the league, it seems like. In the return game, you can even add (Cooper) Kupp to the mix. I think he’s a pretty good returner right there with Cooper and Austin. They have a variety of guys on special teams that can factor in the outcome of a game. We just can’t let them force us to play slow. We have to do our job, we have to know what our assignment is so we can play fast and aggressive and not on our heels.”

Q: Can you do that knowing that they like to try tricks on special teams? McAdoo: “That ’s the whole point. The threat of the trick stuff sometimes forces opponents to play slow and on their heels. We can’t let that happen. We have a job to do. We have to know our job. Trust the man next to us so we can play fast and attack instead of on our heels.”

The McAdoo Report Week 10

Q: Do you have to deliver that message to the assistant coaches as well, because they might have some of the same feelings? McAdoo: “Yes, absolutely. I talked to the coaches on Monday in our staff meeting. We talked about the most important thing we can do is to make each other better and stick together and be solid as a staff, be one unit as a staff, be saying the same things and being on the same page. We have talented men of integrity, whether it is upstairs or in the locker room, and that ’s not something I’m concerned about.”

Q: Do you think that the core message that you talked about -- sound, smart and tough -- is important to repeat from time to time?

McAdoo: “That ’s what I talked about (Wednesday) in the press conference. Just because it ’s all over the building and you said it a few times doesn’t mean it ’s ingrained. I know it ’s something that I need to say more. I know when I’m saying it enough when I get the eye rolls at the press conferences, and that ’s what I need to do because that needs to be important. Our value system is important. We need to be humble, respect is important, empathy is important and dedication. But our football, what we want our tape to look like is sound, smart and tough, commit-ted to discipline and poise and that wasn’t the case on Sunday (in the 51-17 loss to the Rams). We need to get our tape to reflect that.”

Q: What have the players shown you that makes you think they can go on a run? McAdoo: “We practice well. That ’s something that I like about this team. I like this team. The way we go about our business during the week and the way we prepare. We need to get that to show up on Sunday. And when the players are sick and tired of being sick and tired, when they ’ve had enough, it will, and I’m confident that it will.”

Q: What is your response to the critical anonymous player quotes that were reported by ESPN?McAdoo: “Listen, I have an open-door policy, and any player who wants to come up and talk to me about any-thing that we do can do so. There is a reason why we do what we do. If they want to come, I have an open-door policy. I’ll address it. It would help if they put their name on it, because if you put your name on a quote, then I know how to help you. Obviously, it ’s hard to help some-one that doesn’t put their name on their quote. The other thing would be, I’d go back and talk about the difference between bitching and complaining. No one likes to be around a constant complainer. That wears people out. But at the same point in time, everybody has to bitch.

The McAdoo ReportBy Michael EisenNovember 3, 2017

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The McAdoo Report, an ex-clusive weekly interview with Giants head coach Ben McAdoo:

Q: On your conference call on Monday, you were asked a question about fundamentals, which I think we all took to mean blocking, tackling, alignment, etc. Yesterday when you told us your message to the team, it almost seemed like you were talking about going back to mental funda-mentals. Is that an accurate way to put it? McAdoo: “I think a lot of it starts between the ears. As coaches, we have to get back to just training the simple things. But for players, I think a lot of it starts between the ears, and when you start pressing, you start to lose the fundamentals. There’s an important quote that I be-lieve in, and when I was talking about the legacy starts between your ears with players, I think everything does. One of my favorite quotes is, ‘Watch your thoughts for they become words, watch your words for they become actions, watch your actions for they become habits, watch your habits for they become character, watch your char-acter for it becomes your destiny.’ That ’s essentially how you develop your legacy and what you leave behind, and it starts between your ears. What you pay forward starts between your ears.”

Q: You also talked about doing simple better. Is that your call to execute the fundamentals better? McAdoo: “We don’t need to go out and try to trick any-body with any scheme. The later in the season it gets, the more it comes back to fundamentals and doing the blocking, the tackling, the handling of the football, the pursuit angles, doing those simple things well.”

Q: A season like this can wear on players and coaches. Is part of your message to not carry that around with you, just focus on what’s ahead? McAdoo: “Absolutely. Even in times of success, I think that ’s important. You need to stay in the moment the best you can. But I think it ’s also important to recognize another one here. Andrew Jackson said, ‘I was born for a storm, and a calm does not suit me.’ I think players need to be comfortable being uncomfortable, and that ’s where we are right now. Know that all we can focus on is the task at hand, and put your feelings aside. Don’t believe the lies that your feelings are telling you, because that ’s not going to help anybody get any better this week, including yourself or your teammates. It ’s not about feel-ings, it ’s about making decisions to prepare.”

Q: What can you say about the effort of (undrafted line-backers) Calvin Munson and Curtis Grant? McAdoo: “Calvin Munson, I can remember throughout the draft process when we were allowed to talk to free agents, getting on the phone with Calvin and recruiting him really to come here and give us a shot here. I told him that he would have a golden opportunity here. I expressed that he had my word that he would have an opportunity to compete for a job here. Not only has he taken advantage of it, but he’s taken it and he’s running with it. He’s a throwback type, he’s a tough guy. He can handle multiple jobs on (special) teams and at the line-backer position. He gives you everything he’s got. He’s a tough guy, I’m glad we have him. Curtis Grant, I remem-ber sitting down at the (roster cut to) 53. We had to let him go from the 53. Started on the practice squad and then we eventually brought him up. Having conversations with him in the offseason about how hard he worked at learning the defense and studying it and being able to play multiple spots, and really growing as a special teams player. He plays with a lot of physicality on special teams. That ’s something that I appreciate and he’s really growing into a good, hard-nosed player for us.”

Q: How much was Avery Moss’s rise to starter last week due to need at the defensive end position or is it because of his development? McAdoo: “It goes back to, I like to draft and develop play-ers. He’s no different. In the offseason, he really showed some good things. Improved during camp. When things get challenging schematically, it could slow some young players down, so he might have slowed down a tick there, but then started to come on in special teams and on de-fense. He got his opportunity to go out there and play and compete at a high level. And he can do it at a couple different spots on special teams and on defense and take advantage of his role, do it at a high level, and have con-fidence to do it. If you put a guy out there on Week One, it may be a little more challenging to do that. He has to go through the process a few times first.”

Q: You’re in the middle of the NFL pack with 10 give-aways, but you have only seven takeaways. Are there things that you can do in practice to help prevent the giveaways and start getting the takeaways? McAdoo: “Every coach since the beginning of pro football has been doing that. Yeah, we spend a lot of time in the Duke period. (On Thursday, we did) it in the L.T. period. Just spending time doing drills, getting defensive players used to getting their hands on the ball, punching and ripping it out. The second guy in goes after the football. First guy in secures the tackle, second guy in goes after the ball. Offensively, drills on plucking and tucking the ball, high and tight, keeping two hands on the ball as you’re moving in the pocket. Ball location is important this time of year. Decision making, you can never have turnovers on decision making from the quarterback po-sition. You’re going to miss some throws, but this time

. And if you don’t have a bitch, I’m not doing it right, and I believe that. You can quote me on that.”

Q: You talked about the team watching the tape of the game on Tuesday. When do you watch the game tape? Do you try to do it the night of the game or do you like to give it a little time to digest and look at it first thing Monday?McAdoo: “Usually, I like to watch the defensive side of the ball as soon as I can after the game. I’ll watch the special teams either that night, or with (special teams coordina-tor) Tom Quinn very early the next morning. It depends when we play. Then the offense with the offensive staff. After this game, I watched it all at home, on an iPad in the pantry, because I had to make sure I had to get my eyes on the film as soon as possible. So I walked through the door, set my bag down, picked up the iPad out of my bag and watched it right then and there.”

Q: Does it take a long time on the initial viewing of the tape? McAdoo: “A few hours.”

Q: Eli (Manning) said that you have faith in him and you told him to keep grinding. He is one of the NFL’s most ac-complished players. Do you think it ’s important for even Eli Manning to hear that from you? McAdoo: “I think that sometimes I take for granted the type of guy he is and the way he prepares. I say things in press conferences where you have to hold all players accountable. He’s accomplished so many things in this league at a high level, but he still needs to be held ac-countable. The past is something that we all learn from and we all hold dearly in some instances, and some instances we don’t. I respect everything he’s done and accomplished in this league. But right now, we need to win and we need to play better and I don’t like to grade players in the media or in the public, but everyone needs to be held accountable and he’s going to be held account-able just like everybody else in this building that ’s under my watch. Period. Does that mean I don’t have faith and confidence in him? Heck no. I’ve got a ton of faith, a ton of confidence in him. I always have. I always will. Do I say it enough to him? Probably not. I wasn’t raised in a warm and fuzzy environment, but I do have a lot of confidence in Eli and I have confidence that we’re going to right this ship and make a run.”

Q: What did (newly re-signed linebacker) Kelvin Shep-pard give you last year and how quickly do you think he can give you something now? McAdoo: “Obviously it ’s a challenge to come in, in the middle of the season, even though he has knowledge of our systems and the way we do things, and has been here in the past. But he’s a unique individual in a lot of ways. He’s got leadership capabilities, he has some charisma, he gets football and he brings some positive energy. So it ’s interesting to see. He had a good day on Wednesday. Take it one day at a time.”

ing as a football player, and getting better and really shows up on tape. So they have a bunch of different guys that factor in. Whether they play four down or some three down-type looks that they ’ll jump into on third down and two-minute. But it ’s a talented group, and it really forces the line to study not just who they think they ’re going to match up against, but multiple matchups. So they got to know their one on one’s and their one on one can be a variety of different guys so it forces them to put the time in preparation-wise.”

of year when the weather turns, ball location is so vital, because if it ’s just off the target a little bit when that ball gets chalky and cold, it ’s tougher for the receiver. So we have to make sure we’re on point with everything we do. Right now, we are minus-three. As far as takeaways go, a lot of times they come in bunches. Unfortunately for us, the giveaways came in bunches last week and that ’s something that we can’t have. If we want to play the type of football that we need to play to win games, we need to play sound on teams and we need to take care of the ball and get takeaways on defense. That ’s got to be the formula for us. It ’s worked in the past, history proves it works and we have to do that this week.”

Q: Last week, Brad Wing had a 53.3-yard gross average, but a 27.6-yard net, because of the Rams’ punt returns. You said one of the issues was kicking the ball down the middle of the field. As a general rule, do you prefer punt-ing outside the numbers? McAdoo: “I prefer location outside. When you punt the ball down the middle of the field and we don’t get the type of releases in coverage, it makes it challenging. It ’s not all on the punter, but the coverage team needs to adjust when the ball doesn’t go outside the numbers, and we didn’t do a great job of adjusting (last week) and it showed up. So it ’s more than just one thing, it ’s location, it ’s distance, it ’s hang, it ’s releases in the coverage and coverage adjusting their lanes based on the depth, the hang and the location of the ball.”

Q: Carlos Hyde leads the 49ers in rushing and is tied for first in receptions. What do you see when you look at him on tape?McAdoo: “He’s a complete football player. He can pass protect, too. So he’s not just a guy that they like to get touches. He’s a complete back in a lot of ways for them. He’s tough to bring down, he’s thick. He’s a complete back. We’re not getting a break this week as far as the running back we’re going to see.”

Q: They ’re starting a rookie third-round draft choice at quarterback in C.J. Beathard.McAdoo: “I think he’s a guy that playing in the system at Iowa helps him. It ’s a pro-style system and he’s been taught by coaches who’ve coached in the pros, so I don’t think the game mentally has been that much of a chal-lenge for him. The volume may be a little bit different. I think he’s taken to the fundamentals and the footwork nicely. He’s tough as nails. He’s taken some shots and he hangs in the ballgame and he’ll hang in the pocket. Seems to keep his eyes down the field. And he’s a young, developing player.”

Q: Talk about their group of pass rushers and how they ’ve flown under the radar this year.McAdoo: “They come in all shapes and sizes. (Elvis) Du-mervil is built low to the ground. Quick first step, can drop dip his shoulder. Then you got (DeForest) Buckner, who’s 6-7 He’s a large human being who’s really improv-

The McAdoo Report Week 11

on defense. Does it encompass a lot more than that to you? McAdoo: “It ’s not just the defense. To me, it ’s finish-ing blocks, finishing runs, finishing patterns in the pass game. On the defensive side of the ball, obviously getting a man’s hands off of you, even though you aren’t part of a play. Tearing off of blocks, getting more than one man to the ball carrier and just that desire to finish the play. That ’s what the game is about, finishing.”

Q: A quote of yours from Wednesday was, “I’m built for this. A calm doesn’t suit me, a storm does.” Last year, it seemed like you had no storms – at least nothing like this. The better you do, the fewer storms you have. This year, you have storms, so does that suit you to take these challenges on?

McAdoo: “I think last year our storms were off the field, not on the field. This year, our storms are on the field. When you go back and you watch us practice and you watch us prepare, we do a tremendous job preparing. Our players, our team, our coaches, they practice well. I’m going to say it again, we practice well and we prepare well. When we get to the game, we need to fight through adversity, we need to run to adversity and we need to run through adversity. When adversity strikes on game day, we haven’t handled it as well as we need to handle it. Now, these next seven games, the story hasn’t been writ-ten yet. We can go out, we can flip the script, I believe we will. I’m very confident, that ’s never been a problem. But the players have to be that way, they have to play that way. The coaches have to prepare that way, they have to get it done on game day. It ’s the players and coaches together getting it done.”

Q: I think a lot of the questions that you were asked after the game were about the pass defense, but the run de-fense gave up 186 yards, which is out of character for this team. What happened in San Francisco? McAdoo: “Well, we have the knowledge, we have the skillsets, the desire to finish is important. That didn’t show up on a consistent basis. We didn’t build the wall, set the edge and track the hip well enough. So some runs got out on us. And we missed too many tackles. There were times where we would tackle and we would have one man, one defender at the ball. We need more than one defender at the ball. We need to gang tackle, we need to populate the ball. That ’s a factor for it, it ’s not rocket science, it ’s still football. There are some things that we need to do a better job of and I can’t wait to watch us on Sunday.”

Q: Sterling Shepard had probably his best game as a pro (11 catches for 142 yards). He looked like one of those

The McAdoo ReportBy Michael EisenNovember 17, 2017

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The McAdoo Report, Giants.com’s exclusive weekly interview with head coach Ben McAdoo:

Q: You reviewed the tape from last week’s game in San Francisco in a meeting with the players you called hard, tough, and brutally honest. Where did that come from? Were you fed up with what you saw the past couple of weeks?McAdoo: “It was a reaction based off of the last game. It didn’t have anything to do with the games before, it didn’t have anything to do with our record, it was some of the things that we saw on tape that we can’t have. That is what the reaction was based off of.”

Q: When you go through difficult times, you can keep the same message and hope it resonates, or you can change it up. Have you been pretty consistent with how you’re dealing with the players, and did you think it was time for a change?McAdoo: “We’ve changed up the message quite a bit on how we do things. I think getting back and being more consistent is probably a good thing for us. You have to be yourself, everyone else is already taken. I think that ’s important. But at the same point in time, when things creep onto your game film that you don’t see on the prac-tice field, it ’s a concern and something that we had to squash right away and make sure that everyone involved - players and coaches - all knew that it wasn’t acceptable. And it was a good meeting to be a part of, productive meeting to be a part of.”

Q: You’ve had more than your fair share of disappoint-ing games this year. Did watching the tape from the San Francisco game have a different feel in your mind? McAdoo: “It had a different feel. Again, it ’s not every player, it ’s not every position group, and I want to make sure I don’t divide the coaches and the players, because the coaches are a part of it, too. But there were things on the film that we don’t want to have anything to do with, and it ’s the first time that I saw them this year. And I’m going to stick to that, because I believe that. Everything is correctable and everything is fixable. We’ve had some tough, disappointing losses, but the way we played and what we put on film in some areas, we didn’t deserve to win that ballgame.”

Q: You have talked a lot about finishing, you mentioned it several times on Monday in your conference call. Fin-ishing, the first thing that comes to my mind is tackling

Page 353: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

McAdoo: “We want to take it slow just as fast as we can. They ’re in here, they ’re working hard in the meetings, acquiring the terminology and the knowledge they need to go out and function in our systems. It ’s not easy, but not many things are in life. But they ’re two guys that are capable.”

Q: Let ’s talk a little bit about the Chiefs (who the Gi-ants host on Sunday). Their quarterback (Alex Smith) has thrown one interception in 293 attempts. They ’ve got playmakers in each position group, (Tyreek) Hill, (Ka-reem) Hunt, (Travis) Kelce. How tough is their offense to defend? McAdoo: “I think Alex is playing at the highest level. You can’t say enough positive things about the way he’s play-ing the game. They ask a lot of him. He has a lot of things that he has to orchestrate with the offense. It ’s not the typical pro-style offense, but he’s shown he’s capable of running any offense. He’s had a ton of coordinators dur-ing his career. I think it ’s refreshing for him, probably, that he’s been in the same system now for a few years, so he doesn’t have to bang around in a bunch of new sys-tems. So I’m sure that helps him. But he’s been tremen-dous at taking care of the ball in his career. He doesn’t turn the ball over a lot, and he’s comfortable playing that way. I think it helps his teams win. I’ve known him since he came into this league. He’s a winner. He pre-pares tremendously and he puts the guys around him in position to be successful, and doesn’t get a ton of credit. He doesn’t get the credit that he deserves.”

Q: You see one interception and 293 passes, sometimes that could be just caution and he might not be taking chances - but you don’t see that on tape?

McAdoo: No. I think they ’re in a system where they es-sentially have running backs playing wide receiver. So they get them the ball in a variety of different ways. They don’t necessarily run the typical pro-style passing game. They ’re west coast-based, but they have other ways to get their playmakers the ball. They ’re creative in what they do that way. So he may not have to air it out as much as a typical quarterback in this league has to do because of the system they play. That doesn’t mean they don’t throw it downfield or don’t attack outside the numbers, but they do a lot of things where he throws the ball to get the ball out quickly and into their playmakers’ hands and I think that ’s a part of it. He’s a good decision maker when they have to throw on third down, second and long. But in first and second down in normal down and distance, they do things in close proximity quite a bit.”

Q: Hill, Hunt, Kelce, to have very productive players in each position group, what kind of challenge does that present for a defense? McAdoo: “I think it starts with Kelce. They like to post him up in the middle of the field. He’s a post-up type player. He’s a basketball-type player. And then with the speed that they have around him, it makes it tough to handle

injuries, and before those he was really hitting his stride. So it ’s good to see him hitting his stride again, and we have a lot of confidence in him. He’s one of our better players, and he’s willing to block for a receiver that plays in the slot. That has a big impact on our football team.”

Q: Evan Engram has scored a touchdown in each of the last four games. Have you seen defenses playing him dif-ferently as the season has progressed? McAdoo: “Evan gets a lot of attention. Evan and Ster-ling both get a lot of attention. We don’t think that will change this week. He’s a dynamic player in the pass game, he’s coming along as a blocker. He’s working on it, it ’s important to him. There are some things he needs to clean up. But his work ethic, his passion and love for football is refreshing. Evan was named a team captain this week. First time I believe I’ve named a rookie team captain.”

Q: Eli Manning last week had one of his better games this season statistically. But he made one key error in the game, losing a fumble when he pushed the ball forward. Do you think that is an indication at times that he feels he needs to step outside of his comfort zone and do more than he really needs to?

McAdoo: “Yeah, we call that pressing, and there’s no need to press. Anytime you press, you’re going to make mistakes and costly mistakes. And that was a costly mis-take in the ballgame, that cost us points and that ’s some-thing that we can’t have. He knows we can’t have it. When we get down in the green zone, we need points. Turning the ball over can’t be an option for us.”

Q: Eli is going to make his 209th consecutive start on Sunday, which will place him second among quarterbacks in NFL history. You may be the only person in the build-ing that can shrug his shoulders at that because you worked with the guy who made 297 straight starts. Do you see similar characteristics in Eli and Brett Favre in their ability to stay on the field and be there for their teammates every week? McAdoo: “Two completely different personalities. Two guys that really love the game. Two of the toughest peo-ple you will ever be around. They won’t talk tough, ever. Not with the way they talk, not necessarily with the way they communicate with other people, but just the way they carry themselves. You’d never know if they ’re fight-ing through things when they ’re going through them and fighting through them. Whether it ’s off the field or with their body. I think that iron man stat is a pretty impres-sive stat. A lot of respect for those two men.”

Q: When the receivers went down and you signed (Ta-varres) King, (Travis) Rudolph and (Ed) Eagan, you said there was an advantage because they were familiar with the system. Now you’re signing guys like (John) Greco and (Akeem) Ayers who are not familiar with the system. How difficult is it to teach these guys on the fly?

Page 354: 2017 SCHEDULE...Banks on the analysis and Howard Cross reporting from the sidelines. Tune in live to the Mercedes Benz Giants Post Game with Lance Medow, Jeff Feagles, Bob Papa and

because you have a match-up problem with the tight end and then you have speed issues you have to deal with, with Hill and the other players they have out there. So you got to be on top of your preparation. Players got to get out there and recognize the formation, get lined up and you can’t have any wasted movement on defense, or you’ll be behind.”

Q: Their defensive numbers are not good, but (Justin) Houston is a good player, (Bennie) Logan is a good run-stopper, (Marcus) Peters is an outstanding corner, (Dan-iel) Sorensen has been very productive at safety. When you watch them on tape, what do you see?McAdoo: “Don’t let their numbers fool you. They like to get after the quarterback, and they have a history of be-ing successful doing it. They ’re coming off of a bye, so they ’ll have fresh legs. (Derrick) Johnson does a great job calling everything out. There is not a scheme he hasn’t seen. He’s been playing a long time at that posi-tion, very heady. Peters is a highly emotional, highly talented football get-it type guy. He recognizes a lot of things schematically, and he’s not afraid to jump it and has the ball skills and skill set to back it up.”

Q: They ’re one of the few teams that really have scary players returning punts and kickoffs (Hill and Hunt). How on point do your coverage teams have to be this week? McAdoo: “Tough matchup on special teams. They have good coverage specialists as well. Their returners, they put a lump in your throat and they have probably three guys that can do it at a high level (including De’Anthony Thomas). So hang time is important, whether it ’s punts or kickoffs. Ball placement is important, making sure that we track the flight of the ball as we’re covering is impor-tant and obviously we got to get them on the ground. It can’t just be one man there. It has to be a swarm of blue around these returners, and get them on the ground.”

The McAdoo Report Week 12

choose one of the captains each week, and I chose Eli this week, and he showed a little fire, a little passion and was excited to go play.”

Q: Some people would say that ’s out of character for Eli, because he’s relatively quiet, but it wasn’t in the sense that he’ll do whatever it takes to help this team win. Do you think it was out of character for him to do that?

McAdoo: “I don’t know. He didn’t punch any grease boards or throw his helmet through a locker, or get in fisticuffs or anything like that. He gave a motivational speech. It came from the heart, and I think that was prob-ably the most important part of it. He spoke from the heart and the game is important to him, his teammates are important to him and it showed.”

Q: On the fourth-and-five on the final drive, he threw the ball deep down the field to Roger Lewis. It worked out, because Lewis made a great catch (and drew a pass interference penalty on Phillip Gaines). Under normal circumstances, do you like him taking a chance throwing it downfield on a fourth-and-five? McAdoo: “It was zero coverage, so we had three one-on-ones. When they play zero coverage, they are always going to have one more rusher than you have blockers. So he made a protection adjustment, max protected, got it all picked up. The free rusher came, he beat the free rusher with the ball, took a one-on-one matchup with a player that he has confidence in. He liked the matchup, he liked the access and threw a ball he’s been throwing his whole life to a guy that has been running go routes his whole life. He’s a young player, but he made a tre-mendous play for us. It ’s part of the offense and he ex-ecuted it flawlessly.”

Q: Many of us thought it should have been a touchdown. After watching the tape, what did you think? McAdoo: “Like all of the calls that we want interpretation on, we sent it into the league and we wait for their inter-pretation. But I thought it was a touchdown myself, but we’ll wait and see what the league has to say.”

Q: In both of your wins, you’ve had exactly 32 rushing attempts, which is your season high. Did you go into that game thinking you were going to run 30-something times, or when you got to the stadium and saw how windy it was, did you change what you thought you had to do to win the game?McAdoo: “During the week, we check the weather quite a bit going into the ballgame, and we do that each and every week. We knew that it was going to be a windy day. One end of the stadium can be gustier than the other end, so we felt like we had to plan accordingly. That ’s the way

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The McAdoo Report, Giants.com’s exclusive weekly interview with head coach Ben McAdoo:

Q: Do you sense a different vibe or feeling around here after an exciting win against Kansas City? McAdoo: “It was great to get a win at home. The play-ers are excited. Don’t have much time to enjoy it. Got to move on to the next one. Thursday (and their next game in Washington) is going to be on us quickly.”

Q: Do you think a win like that can catalyze the team for the final six games? McAdoo: “We have an opportunity to get two wins in five days, and we’re excited about the possibilities.”

Q: Landon Collins said after the game that he was upset that his shortcomings were featured in last week’s bru-tally honest meeting. How much do you think that meet-ing, and the fact that you got everyone’s attention, had to do with the effort that you got in the Kansas City game?McAdoo: “I think we played good football the other day. I’m not sure how you would ever know whether the two were linked or not. I know we played hard, we played inspired football in all three phases, and Landon had one of his best outings of the year.”

Q: As you watched the tape, was it a noticeably better performance than the previous week? McAdoo: “I think we executed better, we played better football. We were in better football position. We took our Monday and our Tuesday team meeting and went through some of the film in the team meeting room. We just showed the football position that we were in, the long stride; short stride; the tackling fundamentals; the three hits of tackling: us hitting them, them hitting the ground and then us landing on them; and that was notably better in the game.”

Q: Some of the players have talked about Eli (Manning’s) fiery pregame speech. How did that come about? Did he approach you about it?McAdoo: “As a coach, we spend a lot of time talking to the players during the week and preparing them for the game. As a coach, I’m not sure that there is much you can say before the game to help win the game. Sunday is game day. That ’s the players’ day. It ’s all about the players. So I try to empower the players as best I can, and give each player an opportunity to speak pregame before we head out on the field. They don’t know it ’s coming. I

they are focused mentally on their preparation. Most of the preparation is going to be between the ears this week. You’ll have some walkthroughs and things like that, but we have to be smart with them. Get them to the game and give them a chance to go out and play at a high level.”

Q: Last year, Washington had DeSean Jackson and (Pierre) Garçon at wide receiver. Are they a different kind of offensive team this year without them? McAdoo: “They have a couple of different pieces they ’ve been working in. They are a little bit different. They rely on the tight ends quite a bit now. They have a lot of speed and skill at the tight end position. Vernon Davis is really playing at a high level. He’s caught his second wind, I guess you can say, in his career. He’s playing fast, he’s playing aggressive, he fits the system nicely, has great chemistry with Kirk (Cousins). Jordan Reed, we all know the talent that he has in the passing game. They have a young back that they ’re working in, (Samaje) Perine. With the injuries, he’s coming on, he comes from a big school (Oklahoma), he’s built low to the ground and has some good balance and seems to have a bright future.”

Q: They have had a lot of injuries, including losing Chris Thompson and Terrelle Pryor this week. With Cousins as the trigger guy, do you still look at them as having a dangerous offense? McAdoo: “Absolutely. (Josh) Doctson is a guy that is com-ing on for them. A young receiver; big, rangy target. Smart guy, we really liked him coming out. He’s quite the talent. (Ryan) Grant is another guy for them. They have a lot of guys that have been there for a little bit that are getting an opportunity to shine. (Jamison) Crowder is always dangerous in the slot. He is quick and aggressive. He can stick his foot in the ground and can separate. He does a nice job on punt returns, and you see that part of his game show up in the slot.”

Q: Defensively, they are a good pressure team. Is (Ryan) Kerrigan the guy that you have to watch out for? McAdoo: “Kerrigan, (Preston) Smith, they have some good edge rushers. They ’re very deep there. (Ryan) Anderson is a guy you can see coming along. (Junior) Galette is healthy again, and we all know how talented he is with the speed coming off the edge. The linebackers on the inside factor as well. Just very good, very talented, very deep. They ’ve had the injury bug there, as well, but they just keep turning out good players.”

(Tavarres) King and (Travis) Rudolph progressed? McAdoo: “They definitely have. We hit Rudolph on a couple third down throws last week. Not all conversions, but he did have some completions there. Lewis is a guy that ’s been around, he’s a young player, had a big role on special teams, and really grew into his role on offense. You see how important it is to him to develop chemistry with the quarterback. He’s been outspoken on it, and he works hard on it every day in practice. He’s one of our work dogs out there, he really works hard at practice, and it shows up when you look at the numbers each and every day on the GPS, and also the targets as well. Tavarres King, he’s a guy we’ve always had a lot of confidence in. It ’s been hard to get on the field for us at the receiver po-sition. He knows the offense inside and out. He’s a Giant, loves it here, and it shows in the way he plays.”

Q: You started your seventh different combination on the offensive line the other day and you didn’t allow a sack, and you had a good day running the ball. How has that unit been able to keep re-inventing itself while continu-ing to produce no matter who you put in there? McAdoo: “I think (center) Brett (Jones) does a good job of leading that group. It ’s a well-coached group. Coach (Mike) Solari and (assistant) Lunda Wells do a tremen-dous job leading those guys. Brett has a lot of positive energy, he’s a tremendous communicator and upfront, it starts and ends with communication and confidence, and that spreads throughout the group. That ’s a big part of it.”

Q: Beyond the linemen, players like (Calvin) Munson, (Andrew) Adams, (Ross) Cockrell and the receivers have contributed. Do you like how the entire team has taken to the “next man up” philosophy when you’ve had guys go out? McAdoo: “It ’s a big part of pro football these days. Some years are better than others with injuries. We do the best we can at setting the schedule and factoring in as many things as we can as far as the soft tissue injuries. This has been a year that the football injuries have hit us a little bit. But we’re confident in our depth and the coaches and players to get ready for the next man up, and they ’ve done a nice job for us.”

Q: Can you talk specifically about the game that Calvin Munson had (12 tackles)?McAdoo: “Calvin is a tough, gritty guy. He’s out there, he’s battling through some things himself, and he just keeps fighting through it. He’s got a nose for the football and he’s a gritty grinder.”

Q: What is your biggest challenge this week after play-ing an overtime game and then having to travel for a Thursday night game? McAdoo: “It ’s a quick turnaround, so the most impor-tant thing is we have to make sure we give the players a chance to recover, get their bodies right. Make sure that when they get here to the office, to the locker room, that
