A full-team brawl at Giants camp with QB Daniel Jones somehow at the bottom of the pile. … Joe Judge is absolutely livid. He’s got the players lined up now to run.
After doing 100 yard runs — and not hard enough for Joe Judge’s liking — players are now lined up on the foal line doing push ups.
There is dead silence except for Joe Judge’s whistle and his expletives. … So many expletives.
Say whatever you want about Eli Manning, but in a mostly empty Giants locker room he stood and answered all questions today, after answering everything 12 hours earlier. He’s always available, always accountable.
And he’s often been alone in that the last few years here.
Hard to see exactly what happened. RB Corey Clement took a big hit at the end of a run. TE Evan Engram retaliated and then he got popped by Logan Ryan.
Then everybody — and I mean everybody — jumped in.
Eli Manning played in 234 career games and never once missed a game due to injury.
Daniel Jones played in 11 career games before missing his first game due to injury.
Eli Manning's Iron Man streak is a remarkable and oft-overlooked part of his incredible career.

I’m ok with waiving the five-year waiting period for the Hall of Fame now.

It was nothing short of brave for Dak Prescott to open up about a subject that too many people like Skip Bayless think should be swept under a rug. It showed strength, courage and humanity that his critics could never hope to have.
Daniel Jones was absolutely remarkable. 23 for 36, 336 yards, two touchdowns. Ran for two touchdowns too. An ice-in-his-veins game-winning drive.
Could not ask for anything more.
Aaron Rodgers is flat-out lying.
1.If he had an allergy to the vaccine the NFL would have granted his request for a medical exemption.
2.Experts say there is no "mechanism" to connect vaccines to fertility issues. It's a myth.
It is anti-vaxxer BS.
Rodgers claims he would've explained this in full had he been asked a follow-up question back in August. Now adds he wants to be a father and there's no long-term research on sterility and fertility regarding vaccines.
New Broncos coach Sean Payton said he didn’t know ex-Giants QB Davis Webb before hiring him as Denver’s QB coach. He said he only considered him because of strong recommendations from Brian Daboll and Eli Manning.
Breaking Giants news: Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has signed a contract extension with the team and will NOT pursue any head coaching opportunities in 2021.
How does Robert Saleh feel about disciplining players with laps or push ups? He's not a big fan:
"For me, it's more about creating accountability with self rather than forcing accountability. These players are grown men"
The Raiders have benched Derek Carr. The Jets benched Zach Wilson. The Colts benched Matt Ryan. There are at least 8 other teams who have murky QB situations for 2023.
One thing is certain: If the Giants don't re-sign or franchise Daniel Jones, he will have plenty of suitors.
Daniel Jones finished 30 of 42 for 334 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT.
His leading WRs were Richie James (8-90) and Isaiah Hodgins (8-89-1).
It should be pretty clear to the Giants by now that if they can ever give him some weapons and some protection, he's going to be good.
Former Giants DC (and current Chiefs DC) Steve Spagnuolo on whether he wants another shot at being an NFL head coach:
“I would love another shot. But I’m ok if we keep going to Super Bowls.”
So Dolphins owner Stephen Ross wanted to tamper with Tom Brady, tank for Joe Burrow, and make a big play for Deshaun Watson.
Tua Tagovailoa has to feel real good about all this.
Tom Brady was the quarterback Stephen Ross allegedly wanted Brian Flores to meet in an alleged yacht meeting before Brady was a free agent according to a league source
Skip Bayless' disgusting criticism of Cowboys QB Dak Prescott for opening up about his depression began with him telling his
@FS1
audience "Feel free to condemn me as cold-blooded and insensitive."
Yeah, that's the least of it. Add horrifying and inhuman.
Giants traded Leonard Williams to Seattle for a 2nd and a 5th in October … and five months later they acquire Brian Burns for a 2nd and a 5th.
Nice work by Giants GM Joe Schoen.
Several of the players were in Sandy Hook Elementary school the day of the shooting. One lost his younger brother in the carnage that day.
Seven years to the day later, Newton HS wins the Connecticut state football championship.
An amazing sports story:
Daniel Jones is done for the night. He completed 9 of 11 passes for 141 yards.
Through three games, he’s 25 of 30 (83.3 percent) for 369 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. That’s a passer rating of 140.1.
What was Dexter Lawrence's reaction when he realized Kayvon Thibodeaux had a strip sack, and recovered the fumble for a touchdown?
“When I saw who scored, I was like ‘This is going to be a long train ride home,’” Lawrence said. “We are not going to hear the end of it.”
If Sean Payton does just want to take a couple of years off from coaching, he'll be just about ready to return in 2024, which is the next time the Giants are due to fire a head coach.
John Mara to Eli Manning: “We would be honored to induct you into our Ring of Honor next season And please know this: No Giant will ever wear No. 10 again.”
Now is a good time to pause and give thanks for 15 years of not having to call the police and ask them about the Giants quarterback.
It’s the little things that matter ...
The worst part about this Urban Meyer mess isn’t all the stories coming out about how he treated people in Jacksonville — demeaning and dehumanizing them, even actually kicking them …
It’s that before he got there he built a career on doing all that to college kids.
Joe Judge’s priceless reaction, after saying QB Daniel Jones (concussion) couldn’t participate in practice, only to be told by a reporter Jones had just taken the field in full pads. 👇
Wow. The fans are booing Giants co-owner John Mara as he officially retires Eli Manning's No. 10.
Eli tries to wave at them to quiet them down. ... But wow.
Joe Judge says he has a golden retriever who sits on the couch next to him in the basement “about 15 hours a day.”
“Right now she could probably tell you more about who we’re going to draft than anybody else.”
Good dog.
Giants QB Daniel Jones has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week.
The rookie is now on pace to win 207 of these awards in his NFL career.
He's also the first NFL player to win the award in his first career start since Titans QB Marcus Mariota in 2015.
When a play breaks down for the Giants and Eli Manning is forced to scramble, his receivers do a great job of standing there and watching to see what happens next.
Odell Beckham: “Knowing they were struggling (with injuries) in the secondary, personally I would’ve loved to attack them. But that wasn’t in our game plan.”
The Giants are going to win this game, and this has to be one of the biggest, most important comebacks in franchise history.
They were dead in the water. 60-0 through six quarters of the season!
I hope somebody taped Brian Daboll's halftime speech.
Something I never knew about Odell Beckham. He said “I don’t like water.”
He said he’s trying to be better about drinking it but he doesn’t like the “squishy” feeling it makes in his stomach. He said that could explain his recent need for in-game IVs.
By the way, if John Mara is really thinking about firing Ben McAdoo after today's game, why didn't he step in and stop this Eli Manning benching mess before it started? Why let this situation get out of hand for a near-fired coach?
Hakeem Nicks, Phil Simms, Daniel Jones, Evan Engram, Plaxico Burress, David Diehl, Jeff Feagles, Evan Engram, Mark Herzlich among the current and former Giants here.
Rob Gronkowski said that Giants coach Brian Daboll is the best position coach he's ever had, on
@NFLonFOX
. Daboll was the Patriots TEs coach from 2013-2016:
"He brought the best out of you. He had that niche to get you to enjoy the game and play to your full potential."
A clarification from earlier: The Giants have NOT requested permission to speak to Jason Garrett about their offensive coordinator job, per a source. Their request was for their head coaching job, obviously before they decided to hire Joe Judge.
Judge will get to pick his staff.
The Giants blitzed Brock Purdy on 84.6% of his dropbacks, according to
@NextGenStats
-- the highest blitz rate they've ever recorded.
Purdy was 20 of 31 for 247 yards and 2 TDs against the blitz.
Eli Manning will have his No. 10 jersey officially retired by the Giants and will be inducted into their Ring of Honor at halftime of the Giants game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sept 26.
He's also has officially taken a job w/the team in business operations and fan engagement
The sudden "Ben McAdoo was right" narrative is amusing. He ran an undisciplined mess of a team with an unimaginative offense, he lost his locker room and made a clumsy, ill-conceived switch to a QB who had no chance of being part of the team's future. But sure, he was right.
Wan’Dale Robinson, who measured 5-foot-8 at the NFL scouting combine in early March, has apparently had a growth spurt. The Giants list him at 5-11 on their minicamp roster.
Kenny Golladay and Daniel Jones caught on camera screaming at each other on the sidelines with three minutes to go in a one-point game.
That's a good look.
The Giants didn't score a point in the first six quarters of this season.
The last time that happened was 1934, when they went scoreless for the first seven quarters of the season.
They went on to win the NFL championship that year.
The announcers are going crazy over DK Metcalf's stiff arm to the face on Giants CB James Bradberry ... but it didn't get him anything. Bradberry still dragged him down despite the hand in his face.
Bradberry's more than holding his own with Metcalf (4-65) so far.
While you're enduring the excruciating wait until the Giants pick at 99, consider this: It's hard to be unhappy with them coming away with the guy they believe is the best LT in the draft, and a guy who everyone agrees is the best safety.
Two terrific picks in two areas of need.
Some notable players who’ll appear on the Pro Football Hall of Fame ballot for the first time in 2025.
At least one of these is sure to cause a very robust discussion among the members of the selection committee.👇
On the bright side, Giants fans who are scratching their heads wondering why their team ever traded Odell Beckham or B.J. Hill, have to feel pretty good about the Eli Apple trade.
Here's an eerie memory:
Sept. 4, 1995. Giants are coming off a 9-7 season and think they're building something.
Then they lose to the Cowboys 35-0 in their opener at home.
The Giants go on to a 5-11 season.
The Cowboys go on to win their last Super Bowl.
That's it for Daniel Jones. He finishes 4 for 4 for 47 yards and finishes the summer 29 for 34 for 416 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
The next time we see him will likely mark the end of Eli Manning's Giants career.
Daniel Jones on Evan Engram's big drop: "I’ve got to do a better job putting the ball in a better position."
(Narrator: It's hard to imagine that ball being put in a better position)
