Pro Football Focus ranked Joe Judge as the sixth worst head coaching hire in NFL history. Judge’s tenure with the Giants was marred by a 10-23 record and a particularly infamous play during his final game in 2021. With the Giants backed up against their own goal line, Judge called for consecutive quarterback sneaks on 2nd-and-11 and 3rd-and-9, showcasing a lack of confidence in his offense. Although reports suggested his job was secure before Week 17, Judge was fired after this game. His issues were compounded by a poor roster and forced decisions, such as having Jason Garrett as his offensive coordinator, and overall, Judge was not ready for the head coaching role.
Isaiah Simmons is set to see a role change according to Titans' defensive coordinator Shane Bowen. Simmons, previously used as a linebacker in passing downs, will now play nickel on first and second downs and a "MONEY" role on third downs. This shift aims to better utilize his coverage and blitzing skills.
Daniel Bellinger and Jack Stoll attended Tight End University, an event started by Greg Olsen, Travis Kelce, and George Kittle in 2021. This is Bellinger's third consecutive year attending. Notably, Theo Johnson was absent from the event.
The Giants' "Helmet Catch" was named the franchise's best play during the "Nights with Legends" event celebrating their 100th season.
ESPN’s Aaron Schatz suggested that the Giants should sign defensive lineman Lawrence Guy to address their defensive depth. While tight end is a need after Darren Waller’s retirement, the defensive line and cornerback positions are seen as more pressing. Guy, a 13-year NFL veteran, could provide depth despite a lower PFF grade and being 34 years old.
Justin Pugh believes 2024 is a make-or-break year for Daniel Jones. In an interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio, Pugh stated that Jones must prove he is worth his $47 million cap hit. Pugh highlighted Jones' efforts in OTAs and his need to perform well, especially with the Giants having an out after this season.
Pro Football Focus ranked the Giants' receivers as one of the worst in the NFL, placing them 28th. The performance of rookie Malik Nabers is crucial, and the loss of Saquon Barkley and Darren Waller has negatively impacted the team's outlook. The additions of Nabers and Theo Johnson provide some hope, but there are concerns about the downgrade from Barkley to Devin Singletary.
SI’s Connor Orr made a bold prediction that Drew Lock could end the season as the Giants' starting quarterback. If Daniel Jones struggles, Orr believes Lock could take over, especially given Jones' injury history and inconsistent performance last season.
CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin listed Brian Daboll on the hot seat, despite his Coach of the Year win in 2022. Daboll's challenge is to revive Daniel Jones' performance and secure commitment from a team that has not had coaching stability since Tom Coughlin.
Former Giants center Greg Larson passed away. A sixth-round pick out of Minnesota in 1961, Larson spent 13 seasons with the Giants, appearing in 179 games and starting 153. He was a 1968 Pro Bowler and missed only three games during his career, despite
