The New York Giants will host the New Orleans Saints in a game that should help them gain some reps for the upcoming season, as these are two teams with negative records heading into the 2024 NFL season. In the midst of the quarterback battle between Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito, head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Brian Daboll</a> has made a final decision on which player will start at quarterback.



Daniel Jones was the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a>‘ starting quarterback this season, but his request for a release led to his departure from the New York franchise and subsequent arrival with the Minnesota Vikings, where he will share a roster with Sam Darnold. Since that departure, no one has a guaranteed spot on Daboll’s team.



Head Coach Daboll confirmed that the Giants will start quarterback Drew Lock against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints">Saints</a> on Sunday, as announced by the New York franchise. It will be the second consecutive start for the 28-year-old this season as the Giants are 2-10.



Lock has the difficult task of leading the Giants to snap a seven-game losing streak in league play. Daboll’s team last won on October 6, a 29-20 victory. This weekend marks the two-month anniversary of that game.

<h2>How many quarterbacks have the Giants used this season?</h2>



The Giants have used three quarterbacks in the current NFL season. Daniel Jones has played the most games with 10 starts, throwing eight touchdowns and being intercepted seven times. Drew Lock will be making his fourth appearance in a New York franchise jersey and will be looking for his first touchdown in the current campaign. Tommy DeVito will be the third to play in the role after starting in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

<h2>DeVito is carrying an injury</h2>



Naturally, after Jones’ departure, it was DeVito who was pegged as the player to replace him. The backup quarterback injured his arm in his first game back and missed the Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys with a forearm injury. “The plan is to play,” said DeVito, who was replaced by Daboll’s third-string quarterback two weeks later.

The New York Giants suffered their tenth loss of the season when they fell to the Dallas Cowboys in the Thanksgiving Day game in Week 13 of the 2024 NFL season. Head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Brian Daboll</a>, who was involved in the team’s turbulent moment, clarified rumors about his departure from the position.



The release request and subsequent cut of quarterback Daniel Jones ignited a flare-up in an already chaotic season for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a>, who are 2-10 and out of playoff contention. The New York franchise is going through a difficult time.



Daboll had to start Drew Lock at quarterback against the Cowboys after Jones left and first backup Tommy DeVito was injured. The offensive struggles are a major component for a coach who is increasingly being asked about his future with the Giants.



<h2>Daboll worried about his head coaching position with the Giants?</h2>



“I’m not worried about my job security at this point,” Daboll admitted at a press conference following the team’s loss to the Cowboys. With unfulfilled expectations of a good season, the question hanging over the New York organization is what changes will be made in the near future, and whether that plan includes the current head coach.

<h2>What are Giants owners saying about Daboll’s continuity?</h2>



A few days ago, with the team already mired in a seemingly endless losing streak, Giants co-owner John Mara said he did not expect to make any major changes to the franchise during the season. In such a volatile context, no word is a guarantee of continuity for Daboll, who is focused only on winning New York’s next few games.

<h2>New York Giants’ next 5 games in the 2024 NFL season</h2>



The Giants will try to finish the regular season with dignity, even though they have complex challenges in the near future. With a streak of seven consecutive losses and big losses on the schedule, the New York franchise will have to play the New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a> have faced severe criticism recently, even from within their own locker room. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/malik-nabers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Malik Nabers</a> criticized the team a few days ago after the changes to the offense, and now he has sent one final message to head coach Brian Daboll regarding his remarks.



Last week, the Giants made a shocking decision by benching <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Jones</a>. Despite giving him a lucrative contract extension last year, the team grew dissatisfied with his performances and chose to move on.



With Jones named QB3, it was clear his time in New York was over. He requested the team release him so he could explore free agency this year, a move that definitely stunned many.



<h2>Malik Nabers reflects on his criticism of the Giants</h2>



After the release of Daniel Jones, several players weighed in on the situation. While some defended the team, others, like Malik Nabers, expressed indifference to their former quarterback’s fate.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-super-bowl-contender-drops-major-hint-on-the-potential-arrival-of-daniel-jones"></div>


A few days after Jones was benched, Malik Nabers spoke with the media about the situation. The rookie wide receiver emphasized that it didn’t matter who was under center, as he simply wanted to receive as many passes as possible.



Following their 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday, Nabers’ words grew even more pointed. He criticized the team’s direction and head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brian Daboll</a>’s game plan, specifically calling out the lack of targets for him.



His remarks had a direct impact on the organization. While Daboll took them in stride, some fans are questioning whether Nabers should have said them. Now, the rookie has addressed the matter, stating he would do it all over again and doesn’t regret his comments.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20241127_BUS_281081_imago1051049602-1024x683_434f6592.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=683" alt="" class="wp-image-281095" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/imago1051049602-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/imago1051049602-300x200.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/imago1051049602-768x512.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/imago1051049602-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/imago1051049602-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers 1 in action during the NFL, American Football Herren, USA football game against the Dallas Cowboys, Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024, in East Rutherford.

“Like I said, when I look at it, we tried to get me the ball a couple times in the first half — just had a lack of communication,” Nabers said, via SNY. “So, like I said, when I take a look back on the game and the plays that we called, there were opportunities for me to get targets, for me to get the ball. Like I said, we just lacked technique. We just [were] out of sorts as an offense. So, we only had, what, I think 15 plays in the first half. They had 40-something. So, it’s not a lot of plays you can get when you can call 15 plays in the half.



“So, yeah, if I had an opportunity to go back and change the words I said, I would. But, I still stand on what I said. I said it. I don’t have no regrets with what I said. But like I said, as I look at it on the film, we just lacked technique.”



<h2>Will the Giants fire Brian Daboll?</h2>



Brian Daboll’s tenure with the Giants has been filled with ups and downs. After a promising 9-7 start, his subsequent seasons have been disappointing, with an 8-20 record to date.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-daniel-jones-poised-to-make-a-stunning-decision-after-leaving-the-giants"></div>


Reports suggest Daboll may not be with the Giants much longer. However, it remains unclear whether the team will let him go before the end of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season or if they will allow him to finish the year.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a> shocked the entire league this week by deciding to move on from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Jones</a> as their starting quarterback. The bold move by head coach Brian Daboll may have cost him the support of the locker room.



Last year, the Giants made Daniel Jones one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. The decision surprised many, as the former Duke standout had yet to prove himself as a franchise leader deserving of such a lucrative extension.



Jones suffered a torn ACL during the first season of his new contract. In his second year, he struggled to perform, leading the Giants to bench him after Week 10—a move that could signal the end of his tenure with the team.



<h2>Brian Daboll responds to Dexter Lawrence’s criticism over benching Daniel Jones</h2>



The decision to extend Daniel Jones was controversial, but his midseason benching was even more shocking. Just one and a half years into his massive contract, Jones has been demoted to QB3, effectively casting doubt on his future with the franchise.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-daniel-jones-reveals-his-future-after-being-benched-by-the-giants"></div>


Jones has acknowledged his shortcomings, sharing a statement today that hinted at a possible farewell to the Giants after failing to meet expectations.



Head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/to7pic/brian-daboll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brian Daboll</a>, who collaborated with the front office on the decision, has faced backlash from within the team. Defensive captain Dexter Lawrence publicly expressed his displeasure, stating he didn’t agree with the decision but respected Daboll’s authority as coach.



Addressing Lawrence’s comments, Daboll acknowledged the close bond between Lawrence and Jones but emphasized that the locker room doesn’t have to approve every decision he makes.

“I got a lot of respect for Dex,” Daboll said on Thursday. “Dex has been a teammate of Daniel’s for a while. There’s a pretty good relationship with there. Look, everybody’s not going to agree with the decision, and I understand that. We make the decision we feel is best and then we move forward and get ready to go.”



<h2>Will the Giants pursue a new quarterback after benching Daniel Jones?</h2>



Following Daniel Jones’ benching, the Giants have named Tommy DeVito as their starting quarterback. DeVito, who stepped in last season during Jones’ ACL injury, failed to secure the starting role long-term and previously shared snaps with Tyrod Taylor.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/giants-news-tommy-devito-sends-clear-message-to-daniel-jones-about-replacing-him"></div>


Despite their current quarterback challenges, the Giants are unlikely to pursue a new signal-caller in free agency. With their 2024 season all but over, the team is expected to focus on selecting a quarterback in the first round of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>.

Germany will welcome the NFL this weekend as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a> and Carolina Panthers head to Europe for their Week 10 game. However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Jones</a> and company may have to do it without a key player.



The Giants were chosen for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> International Series this year, set to face the Panthers in Germany. While the matchup may not have massive fan appeal, both teams are in dire need of a win this week.



Daniel Jones recently signed a lucrative contract extension but has struggled to prove he’s worth it. A victory against Carolina could help him silence critics and show he can be the franchise QB the Giants need.



<h2>Daniel Jones and the Giants may travel to Germany without a key player</h2>



Few teams are as desperate for a win in Week 10 as the Giants and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a>. Both clubs are 2-7, sitting at the bottom of their divisions, making this showdown especially compelling.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/cowboys-vs-giants-what-is-daniel-jones-record-in-prime-time-games"></div>


German fans will enjoy an NFL game at Allianz Arena. While it may not feature elite teams, the excitement of live professional football adds a unique thrill.



Oddsmakers favor the Giants to win. Despite New York’s struggles, Carolina’s major rebuilding phase gives the Giants a slight edge on paper for this matchup.



Unfortunately, New York’s chances took a hit recently. Head coach Brian Daboll confirmed that key wide receiver Darius Slayton might not make the trip to Germany, as he’s still in concussion protocol.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20241107_BUS_268226_GettyImages-2177180651-1024x683_11ee6305.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=683" alt="" class="wp-image-268261" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2177180651-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2177180651-300x200.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2177180651-768x512.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2177180651-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2177180651-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – OCTOBER 06: Darius Slayton #86 and Daniel Jones #8 of the New York Giants high five during the game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on October 06, 2024 in Seattle, Washington.

Slayton’s status remains in question. The team hoped he could travel if cleared, but it seems likely he won’t be ready in time for the game.



<h2>Are the Giants already eliminated?</h2>



Surprisingly, they’re not. Despite their 2-7 record and last-place standing in the NFC East, the Giants still have slim playoff hopes through the Wild Card.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/sports/new-york-sports-ny-liberty-win-wnba-title-leaving-only-one-ny-sports-team-without-titles"></div>


To qualify, the Giants would need a flawless second half of the season. The question remains: can Daniel Jones lead a winning streak strong enough to take New York to the playoffs?

The New York Giants will look to win their second straight game when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals on primetime Sunday Night Football of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. Despite the objective, head coach Brian Daboll shared some bad news regarding the injury status of wide receiver <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/malik-nabers">Malik Nabers</a>.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Daboll</a> was cautious throughout the week of preparation leading up to the weekend when he claimed that Nabers was making great strides and that his status was day-to-day in terms of recovering from the concussion he suffered in the Week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.



Nabers was in protocol and unable to play in Week 5, when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> defeated the Seattle Seahawks 29-20. At the time, his absence made a lot of sense because of the proximity in time to when he suffered the injury, but there were expectations that the rookie would be able to play against the Bengals.



<h2>Bad news from Daboll about Nabers’ injury</h2>



The bad news delivered by Giants head coach Brian Daboll is that Malik Nabers will be out of Sunday’s game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Cincinnati Bengals</a>. The wide receiver, who will miss his second straight game, will continue to recover from his serious injury and is not expected to return until the Week 7 divisional meeting against the Philadelphia Eagles.

<h2>Malik Nabers’ performance in the 2024 NFL season</h2>



Wide receiver Nabers has 35 receptions for 386 yards and three touchdowns on the season. Not a bad start for a rookie selected with the 6th overall pick in the NFL Draft. Meanwhile, the Giants are 2-3 and in fourth place in the NFC East, making this a key day for their season expectations.

<h2>Daboll awaits recovery of another key player</h2>



The Giants head coach is waiting for running back Devin Singletary to recover from a groin injury. His status will be finalized late Friday, although there is speculation that he will be listed as questionable at the last minute. At the same time, linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux suffered a fractured scaphoid bone in his wrist and underwent surgery to repair it, so his status will be week-to-week.

Head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Brian Daboll</a> gave a press conference update on the injury status of star rookie Malik Nabers, who continues to recover from a concussion suffered in the New York Giants‘ Week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the 2024 NFL season.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/malik-nabers">Nabers</a> went into concussion protocol and was unable to play in Week 5, when the Giants defeated the Seattle Seahawks 29-20. The 21-year-old wide receiver had been injured when he fell and hit his head on the ground with his facemask in front of him.



“Malik (Nabers) is getting better. His recovery is day-to-day,” Daboll cleared about Nabers’ injury. There are doubts about the rookie’s chances of playing against the Cincinnati Bengals next week. In this context, the former Louisiana State University is working with the training staff this week and increasing his physical activity.

</div></figure>



Daboll also said the next step is for Nabers to participate in non-contact drills, depending on how he feels the next day. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> are in no hurry to get the 21-year-old wide receiver back after struggling without him in their last game. Receiver Darius Slayton had 8 receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks.



<h2>Giants lose another key player</h2>



Giants defensive standout Kayvon Thibodeaux suffered a fractured scaphoid bone in his wrist and underwent surgery today to repair it, a source said. Head coach Brian Daboll described it as “week-to-week”, assuming that the 23-year-old player will not be available for a certain period of time.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/former-super-bowl-champion-with-the-giants-makes-bold-statement-on-hc-brian-dabolls-future"></div>


<h2>Malik Nabers’ performance in the 2024 NFL</h2>



In his first season as a pro, wide receiver Nabers had 35 receptions for 386 yards and three touchdowns. This is not a bad start for a rookie who has already suffered a career-altering injury in just a few weeks, a precedent that could be complicated and that deserves to go slowly so as not to accelerate the recovery time. Meanwhile, the Giants, who are 2-3 and in fourth place in the NFC East, are living key days for their season expectations.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">New York Giants</a>‘ start to the NFL season has certainly been less than ideal. Heading into Week 3 with a 0-2 record puts coach Brian Daboll in the spotlight. In light of this situation, a former Super Bowl champion with the New York franchise made his stance clear.



The player in question is none other than star WR Victor Cruz, Super Bowl XLVI champion with the Giants, who has weighed in on the coach’s situation and the current state of the franchise, which hasn’t had the best start to the season.



In an interview with ClutchPoints, conducted in conjunction with his partnership with Captain Morgan, Cruz shared his thoughts on coach Brian Daboll: “It’s interesting, up until this point, we love coach Brian Daboll.



“I think he provided a necessary spark, the players love him. He’s a players coach that guys love but he also has that strong mentality to galvanize the guys, which I also love. But as you know in this league, it’s what have you done for me lately? So I don’t know. I think if he doesn’t have a good year, if they don’t have a year over .500 and potentially in the hunt (playoffs), I could see John Mara in the front office looking for a different head coach and looking for someone that can get them over the hump.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240916_BUS_235624_Victor-Cruz-1-1024x576_c1754284.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Victor Cruz" class="wp-image-235635" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Victor-Cruz-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Victor-Cruz-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Victor-Cruz-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Victor-Cruz-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Victor-Cruz-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Victor Cruz #80 of the New York Giants celebrates his touchdown against the Cleveland Browns during their game at MetLife Stadium on October 7, 2012 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Victor Cruz and the Giants’ return to the spotlight</h2>



Victor Cruz was a crucial player on the Giants’ Super Bowl XLVI team in 2011, serving as Eli Manning’s top target. The former undrafted free agent set a franchise record with 1,536 receiving yards that season, alongside 82 catches and nine receiving touchdowns.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-fines-antonio-pierces-las-vegas-raiders-with-substantial-penalty-after-davante-adams-teammates-actions"></div>


That’s why he’s aware that the Giants have long been absent from the league’s spotlight, and he had this to say about it: “It’s been a long time since we’ve been in those relevant conversations from a football perspective.



“I know John Mara wants to be in those conversations. He enjoys his team winning and competing for Super Bowls and I think he’s trying to get back there as much as possible and the best way he can. If he feels like he needs to make a change at the head coaching position at the end of the year, I think he’ll do so.”

<h2>Giants and their upcoming challenges</h2>



Although <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Brian Daboll</a>‘s arrival with the New York franchise quickly bore fruit with a playoff berth after several years, this season’s results have not met expectations, which could have short-term repercussions.



The recent loss to the Washington Commanders has left the coach on thin ice, as he faces a critical matchup against the Cleveland Browns, who are coming into the game against the Giants with a winning streak.



Although fans, the team, and the management all hope to turn the situation around and secure a victory to get back on track, falling to 0-3 next weekend would likely prompt decisive actions to improve results in the short term.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">New York Giants</a> arrived in the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season with high aspirations. Last year, Brian Daboll was named Coach of the Year and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones">Daniel Jones</a> had such a great streak that he earned a massive contract extension.



But only four weeks into the new season, pressure is already starting to mount on them. The offense has been <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/giants-darren-waller-takes-a-shot-at-daniel-jones-led-offense-20231003-BUS-71426.html">particularly poor this year</a>, having scored 0, 31, 12, and 3 points in each of their four games so far.



On Monday, the Giants suffered an embarrassing 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks at MetLife Stadium in prime time. Everyone at the team looked frustrated, especially Daboll – who had a viral moment with Jones on the sidelines.



<h2>Daniel Jones, Brian Daboll set the record straight after sideline moment</h2>



Shortly after Jones threw a pick-six to Devon Witherspoon in the third quarter, Daboll was seen rewatching the play with the quarterback on the sidelines before tossing the tablet on the bench.



“I mean, we were all frustrated,” Jones said Wednesday. “Just a costly mistake. I can’t afford to do that. We were all frustrated and that’s part of it. We were all frustrated and can’t afford to make that mistake. You’ve got to put it away immediately and get back out there and play ball. Can’t afford to dwell on any of that very long. Obviously, after the game, you try to learn from it and see where you went wrong.”



The moment went viral in seconds, but both Jones and Daboll downplayed the incident. The coach referred to his quarterback as a “coachable” person, though he admitted they have work to do.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231005#BUS#72658"></div>


<h2>How much does Daniel Jones make a year?</h2>



Having signed a four-year, $160,000,000 contract with the New York Giants in the offseason, Daniel Jones’ average annual salary is $40 million.

But it seems like other teams have figured the Giants out as of late. It’s either that or the multiple injuries on both sides of the gridiron, as they’ve now dropped three consecutive games and some believe theirgood run is over.
However, their Head Coach doesn’t want to hear anything about that. For Daboll, their season isn’t at a crossroads, and their recent stretch is only proof of how difficult it is to win in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-dak-prescott-sends-stern-warning-about-the-cowboys-20221125-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Football League.</a>
<h2>NFL News: Brian Daboll Doesn’t Think Their Season Is At A Crossroads</h2>
“No, I see it as getting ready to play Washington,” Daboll told the media. “Yeah, just come back, do the same stuff we always to each week. Get ready to play a game. Take some rest. It’s been a tough 12 days. Obviously, we haven’t gotten the results we were looking for but I think we’ve got to just get a little bit of rest, mental recovery, physical recovery.”
“Come back on Monday and get ready to play another division game. They don’t get any easier,” Daboll added.“Each week is tough, and we’ll stick with our practice, our preparation, all the things we need to do to try to go ahead and give us an opportunity to win a game. But, again, it’s the ebbs and flows of a season.”

The Giants will now face another divisional rival and a team on the rise in the Washington Commanders, so things won’t get any easier for the foreseeable future. Will they turn things around? Remains to be seen.

The former Miami Dolphins HC shut the door on any potential job for the foreseeable future, but still chose to sue the league and multiple organizations <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/brian-flores-lawsuit-against-nfl-and-3-of-its-teams-leaks-100000-bribery-attempt-to-purposely-lose-games-20220201-0042.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over alleged racism in hiring.</a>
Flores shared proof of how his interview was nothing more than a ‘box check’ over the league’s Rooney Rule, claiming that they had already made up their minds long before bringing him in.
Moreover, the former New England Patriots’ assistant recently claimed that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/tom-brady-shockingly-reacts-to-bill-belichicks-retirement-compliments-20220203-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Belichick</a> influenced the New York Giants’ decision to hire Brian Daboll as their new coach instead of him.
<h2>Brian Flores Says Bill Belichick Influenced The Giants To Hire Brian Daboll</h2>
“I think there are back channel conversations and back channel meetings that are had that oftentimes influence decisions,” Flores told Jay Williams. “I think [the Giants hiring process] is a clear example of that. Bill Belichick is a clear example of that. His resume speaks to that. It was clear to me that decision was made with his influence. That’s part of the problem. That needs to change. There needs to be a fair and equal opportunity to interview and showcase your abilities to lead and earn one of those positions.”
 
<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-58"> </div>
</div>

<h2>Giants Deny Belichick’s Influence</h2>
The Giants were quick to dismiss that narrative and deny every single one of Flores’ accusations. Per the team, Belichick didn’t have any say in their decision and Flores was a legit candidate for the job:
(Statement via Giants)
“Brian Flores has raised serious issues in the filing of his complaint. The specific claims against the Giants and Mr. Flores’ allegations about the legitimacy of his candidacy for our head coach position are disturbing and simply false.”
“(…) After we interviewed six exceptional and diverse candidates, the decision on who we would hire as head coach was made on the evening of January 28, one day after Mr. Flores spent an entire day in our offices going through his second interview for the position, meeting with ownership and other staff members, and receiving a tour of our facility. There is additional concrete and objective evidence to substantiate we did not make our decision until the evening of the 28th.”
“(…) The allegation that the Giants’ decision had been made prior to Friday evening, January 28, is false. And to base that allegation on a text exchange with Bill Belichick in which he ultimately states that he ‘thinks’ Brian Daboll would get the job is irresponsible. The text exchange occurred the day before Coach Daboll’s in-person interview even took place. Giants’ ownership would never hire a head coach based only on a 20-minute Zoom interview, which is all that Mr. Daboll had at that point. (…) It has been well documented how much research and due diligence we did on Mr. Flores as it related to his candidacy.”
This story isn’t going to go away any time soon, as Flores has repeatedly stated that he won’t back down in his fight against systematic racism within the NFL. Now, we’ll have to wait and see how this unfolds.
