Other Giant observations
Tommy DeVito: NY Giants QB out to prove he’s no football gimmick | The Record
What DeVito needs to prove more than anything else right now is that he can be more than a football gimmick who makes a few bucks by being famous off the field.
And make no mistake: the former Don Bosco star who has emerged as a local legend in the New York and New Jersey area within the past year wants nothing else at this point.

Brian Daboll’s about to get another shot to prove he’s the quarterback guru the Giants need | New York Post
There is a line of thinking that goes like this: If Brian Daboll did all that with Tommy DeVito, imagine what he could do with a far more talented quarterback.
That was last season. Here we are again. Daboll tried and tried and tried some more, but it just did not work with Daniel Jones.
Leonard: Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll will have hard time selling good intentions to Giants | New York Daily News
Seven games is a long time for Dexter Lawrence, Bobby Okereke, Darius Slayton, Brian Burns and the Giants’ players to stomach this nonsense, writes Pat Leonard.
Ben Johnson, Jesse Minter, Anthony Weaver among 22 young coaches to watch in 2025 NFL hiring cycle | NFL.com
Candidates for the coming cycle included Giants DC Shane Bowen and AHC/OC Mike Kafka. It noted for Bowen that while coaching one of the NFL’s youngest defense, he has been one of its most effective in key categories such as sacks per pass attempt and opponent red-zone TD percentage. As for Kafka, strong performance on the interview circuit—interviewing for six jobs over the past two cycles and gotten second interviews for three of them—figures to keep him in the mix
Under NFL coaches to watch in future years included Giants OLB coach Charlie Bullen, offensive passing game coordinator/QB coach Shea Tierney and safeties coach Michael Treier.
Thibodeaux ready to return
Kayvon Thibodeaux was asked how energized he is to return Sunday:

How Would Cutting Daniel Jones Now Affect the Rest of New York Giants’ Season? | SI.com
There is an argument to be made that cutting Jones now is the way to go because it will give him a chance to spend his time training and doing all he needs to do before pursuing his next opportunity. Cap-wise, Jones is in the final year of his contract, which includes guaranteed money, money that he’ll collect regardless of whether he’s on the roster, meaning that there is no cost saving to be had if he were cut now or by March. 12, 2025, when$12 million of his $30 million 2025 base salary becomes guaranteed.
Here’s why Giants won’t send Daniel Jones home for rest of season, despite potential risk | NJ.com
The Giants have no intention of playing quarterback Daniel Jones for the rest of the season. Which makes perfectly reasonable sense.
So why not just send him home for the final seven games of this 2-8 season?

NFL Week 12 latest buzz, predictions, questions, fantasy tips | ESPN.com
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, multiple people with knowledge of the Giants’ situation feel Mara “really does want” to keep Daboll and Schoen for the 2025 season based on the notion that he is tired of “cycling through coaches every two to three years.”
Fowler noted that Schoen and Daboll have not yet had the opportunity to identify and install their own quarterback. Although they did make the decision to re-sign Jones. That factor could play a role in Daboll and Schoen getting one more shot from ownership, especially if they pick high in the 2025 NFL draft and have a chance to land one of the top quarterbacks, such as Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders or Miami’s Cam Ward.
Would Shedeur Sanders want to play for Giants? ‘It’s up to the staff, up to the coaches’ | NJ.com
Sanders’ smile when the Giants were mentioned said plenty (plus he didn’t deny his interest).
“I think it’s up to the staff, up to the coaches at that point, I don’t know. No comment — that’s just a safe route for me, just no comment. I can’t even turn water to wine right now. I can’t do anything, so just no comment. But I would never pray on anybody’s downfall. I would never do that. I would never do that. And I would never play on no team’s downfall, players’ downfall, anything because I won’t want anybody to do that to me. So that’s why I just just don’t have a comment.”
2025 NFL Mock Draft: Latest First-Round Predictions Entering Week 12 | The 33rd Team
5. New York Giants, Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama. It’s easier to justify taking Jalen Milroe if the New York Giants keep Brian Daboll as the head coach. A tremendous athlete with inconsistent accuracy and field vision, Milroe isn’t a lock to enter the 2025 class.
However, the need for quarterbacks is so high, and Milroe can do things that only a few others on Earth can. If he declares, he’ll go high and will require patience as he develops.
This week’s opponent
Mike Evans practicing for Buccaneers Wednesday | Pro Football Talk
After Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans left the team’s Week Seven loss to the Ravens with a hamstring injury, word was that he was expected to miss three games with a targeted return in Week 12 against the Giants.
It looks like that plan remains in place. Evans did some work when the team returned from their bye week on Monday and reports from the open portion of Tampa’s practice on Wednesday say that he is participating again.
