Brian Daboll grows heated over Giants' training camp penalty flags
Green's Day
CB Art Green made an athletic one-handed interception on a deep pass down the right side from Jameis Winston intended for WR Jordan Bly. The pass was slightly underthrown and Green's anticipation created a turnover.

Out of Whack
The offense had trouble getting lined up a few times with Jaxson Dart and Winston.
One time, with Winston behind center, penalty flags were dropped for a false start and Brian Daboll was furious. 'Wake the (expletive) up!'' he screamed.
Caught My Eye
Of course there were plenty of water and hydration breaks during the 90-minute practice in the sweltering heat.
There was also an ample supply of watermelon distributed to players on the sideline. What's next? Orange slices?

Injury Report
Brian Burns was full go after a scare late last week when he smacked into Wan'Dale Robinson, who was held out of practice after he took a knee to the leg in that collision. WR Jalin Hyatt experienced cramping a few days ago and did not participate in 11-on-11 periods.

Shedeur Sanders explains attitude that turned off Giants, Saints, Steelers before NFL draft after historic CU career
Shedeur Sanders looked like a shoo-in to go in the top five of the 2025 NFL draft following a record-breaking career at the University of Colorado Boulder. Instead, he fell to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft in a historic shocker, and reports quickly followed that he was difficult to deal with in pre-draft meetings. As the 'Grown QB' explained to former Cleveland Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar, Shedeur doesn't act differently for anyone. Sanders is unapologetically himself all the time. 'At this point in life, I don't think I would fake anything because there's no need. Everything is just genuinely how I am,' Sanders said to Kosar when asked about why he shows up early and stays late at practice. Certainly, no one thought Shedeur was playing an act when he got frustrated with New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll for intentionally putting mistakes in the playbook install to test him. He was being himself when he allegedly had headphones in while talking to team personnel during meetings. No wonder the Giants, New Orleans Saints, and Pittsburgh Steelers passed on him despite having uncertainties at the QB position. New York chose to roll the dice with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency and drafted Ole Miss Rebels star Jaxson Dart instead. New Orleans made one of the 2025 draft's most puzzling selections, taking Tyler Shough in the second round, feeling Sanders was the bigger gamble despite Shough bouncing around three different Power 4 programs in seven collegiate seasons. Pittsburgh decided to play it safe by taking Ohio State Buckeyes CFP title-winning signal-caller Will Howard in the sixth round as they waited on a free agent decision from Aaron Rodgers. Sanders' attitude, not anything Coach Prime did, led to his stock tanking. Luckily, it appears to be the one thing that could save him, as he's been impressive against the first-team defense this past week in Browns training camp and looks primed to prove his skills can do the talking.

New York Giants' Jermaine Eluemunor hilariously supports Micah Parsons' trade request
Hell yeah bro go get your money in the AFC! Shortly after offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor signed with the New York Giants last offseason, he quickly became a fan favorite solely due to how excited he was to be a Giant. Elumunor has continued to embrace being a Giant ahead of his second season with the team. Following the news of Dallas Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons requesting a trade, Elumunor took to X to show his support for Parsons' trade request. He did it in a way that only Eluemunor could. Eluemunor doesn't just want Parsons out of the NFC East but out of the NFC altogether. Parsons was the second player from the NFC East to request a trade this week after Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin also requested a trade as he remains unhappy with his contract. The Giants would be fortunate to see either player shipped out of the NFC East. Eluemunor, who welcomes the challenge of going up against the league's best, was forced to explain his comments when the joke clearly went over several heads. It's a joke yall lmao I want to go against the best all season Almost immediately after Parsons made his trade request, Giants fans dug up an old tweet and encouraged him to join Big Blue. It's only right the NFL lets me and Abdul play together!! The Cowboys aren't going to trade their best player within the division, nor do the Giants have the assets to acquire Parsons or the cap space necessary to give him the contract he is seeking. There is no shortage of talent within the NFC East. However, if Parsons were to get traded, the Cowboys' defense would certainly look a lot less scary.

ESPN analyst ranks New York Giants' coaching staff dead last in NFL
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll was named the NFL's Coach of the Year in 2022, his first season on the job. The Giants finished at 9-7-1, their first winning season in six years, and qualified for a playoff berth. The Giants appeared to be on their way to a new era of prosperity. It was not meant to be. Injuries and poor play at quarterback led to two dismal seasons and a cumulative 9-25 record. Daboll went from promising coach of the future to almost getting fired. But Giants co-owner John Mara decided to display some patience and keep Daboll on. He had hired and fired three other coaches since 2015, trying to replace Tom Coughlin, and all had failed. The football world is well aware of the Giants' woes. Big Blue has not fared well in national polls, and rightfully so. In a recent ranking of NFL coaching staffs by ESPN's Ben Solak, the Giants finished dead last. While the offensive brain trust of Daboll and Kafka has yet to string together multiple seasons of above-average offense, there are pockets of innovation. It's not much to hang a hat on, but if and when we see Jaxson Dart this season at quarterback, I expect the team to have some smart, easy ways to get him into a rhythm and involved in the running game. I can at least see the visions in New York, even if the plane often struggles to get off the ground. I have a warmer appreciation for Bowen, who is always willing to get creative with alignment and coverages to solve personnel problems on the back end. The 2024 Giants' defense was definitely poor, but they have overhauled the secondary and added to the pass rush this offseason, so I'm happy reserving a stronger judgment for Year 2. As it is, the best defensive season for Bowen was with the 2022 Titans, which was just above a league-average unit. Of course, Daboll's best seasons came with the much-improved Josh Allen at the helm in Buffalo -- otherwise, his best work was the 2022 season with Daniel Jones, which was also a league-average unit. And again, critically, was not sustained, developed or iterated on. It's tough to believe in a high ceiling with the Giants' current staff. Daboll can be blamed for a lot here. Even though he's got five Super Bowl rings as an assistant and a college national championship to his credit, he's been an under-performing head coach. He knows it, too. He's been fine-tuning his staff and concentrating on being less of a micro-manager. The criticism of Kafka isn't really fair. He didn't have playcalling responsibilities last year, and injuries forced him to start four different players at quarterback. The offensive line was again a mess, and points were hard to come by. Bowen was in the first year on the job, and his approach was a big contrast to that of his predecessor, Wink Martindale. Injuries to his best two players (Dexter Lawrence, Bobby Okereke) didn't help.
