Credit: USA Today NetworkA new report reveals that this year’s Senior Bowl has many in the NFL openly asking, “What about the New York Giants?”It hasn’t been a great season for the Giants so far. . It’s the opposite of what they needed after a disappointing 6-11 in 2023-24. They lost their defensive coordinator when he left and stormed out of the facility in frustration.
The organization was hampered by drama between head coach Brian Daboll and his staff.The situation has apparently left some in the NFL confused about the direction of the team, especially since the organization sees Daniel Jones as the starting quarterback again in 2024. On Wednesday, New York Post NFL insider Paul Schwartz reported on discussions between team managers, coaches and scouts about this year’s team at the Senior Bowl — and it wasn’t flattering..
All indications are that Jones will be the team’s starter again next season, and they won’t use a first-round pick in the NFL draft on one of the five talented signal-callers coming up in April. It was a decision that left some at the Senior Bowl confused.”There is a lot of skepticism about the Giants’ plan to start Daniel Jones at quarterback to open the 2024 season while his surgically repaired right knee heals.
The reaction to the plan is often an eye roll,” Schwartz wrote. “Interludes of ‘They’ve got to pick a quarterback, right?’ conveys the entire opening speech about the draft.”.
As for Don “Wink” Martindale, the general consensus was that he handled his departure poorly. But the hiring of Shane Bowen to replace him as defensive coordinator sparked an equally impressive response to the Jones news.”The Titans’ hiring of Shane Bowen was largely met with a shrug,” Schwartz wrote.The history of the New York Giants is not good right now.
Fans can only hope they make big moves in free agency or this year’s draft to gain some positive momentum that will come back in a big way in 2024..
