Giants need to send message with Week 1 win
The Giants were booed early and criticized frequently in their Sunday night home opener last September. Brian Daboll said this after a brutal 40-0 loss to the Cowboys early in his second season: “There's a lot of criticism going around, but I intend to be at the forefront of it.” And Sterling Sheppard said, “One […]
How the Jets and Giants can give their fans hope again in 2024
This time a year ago, there was genuine excitement among New York football fans on both sides of the aisle.

Brian Daboll gets what-might-have-been reminder in Sam Darnold to start Giants season
If things had gone a little differently in the 2018 NFL Draft, Brian Daboll might have been mentoring Sam Darnold.

This is Daniel Jones’ last chance to win over Giants fans
Daniel Jones laughs a lot, not just when he's pleased, happy, or finds something funny. He also laughs when he hears a question he doesn't want to answer or is faced with a topic he doesn't want to think about. It's not an actual smile, but more like a frown, a closed-mouth look, and a […]
Giants’ Gunner Olszewski ‘making progress’ from injury
Coach Brian Daboll still can't say who will be handling punt returns for the Giants one week from Sunday.

Why Isaiah Hodgins opted to return to Giants’ practice squad
Nearly 600 days after helping the Giants win a playoff game, Isaiah Hodgins was released and only offered a position on the practice squad.

I would make Kadarius Toney Giants trade again
Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said he wouldn't change anything about his decision to trade for wide receiver Kadarius Toney, regardless of how things ended. Kansas City released the Giants' 2021 first-round pick earlier this week after a sojourn in the Midwest that was marked by injuries and dropped passes more than big-game moments. Toney […]
All Joe Schoen can do is watch now with his Giants roster makeover done
The amount of work is endless, but there is only one challenge: making your team better. For Joe Sean, entering his third year as Giants general manager, nothing is more important. “I like my team,” Sean said Wednesday after a sweltering late-summer practice, adding that he thought his players had improved in “several areas” without […]
Willingness ‘to do anything’ helped me make Giants
