The New York Giants are 9-25 since the beginning of the 2023 NFL season. General manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll barely escaped with their jobs. Giants co-owner John Mara feels the duo can still turn his team into winners.
It won't be easy, but Schoen believes the Giants could be on their way. He is not shooting for a "worst to first" season in 2025. A winning season will do.
On Tuesday, Schoen was asked if he felt he had built a playoff team.
"We're just starting camp today," Schoen told reporters. "I understand the question, but the expectation is we're going to be a competitive team, a competitive roster. And again, all that starts today."
The Giants lost eight games last season by one score or less. They were the best 3-14 team one could imagine. Their biggest issue has been their inability to sustain drives, creating big plays and, yes, score points.
With a new quarterback unit led by veteran Russell Wilson, the Giants should be able to put up more points this year.
Combine that with the addition of rookie linebacker Abdul Carter on defense, and Big Blue should be the competitive team Schoen thinks they can be.
