Other Giant observations
How Giants’ poor return on pass-rush investment cost them in loss to Cowboys | The Athletic
Again, the point of acquiring Burns was to avoid needing blitzes to affect the quarterback. That wasn’t the case on Thursday. The defense wasn’t bad. Holding Dallas to 20 points, 293 yards and 3-for-10 on third down should be enough to win. But the lack of disruption — one sack, no takeaways, 81.5 completion percentage — allowed Prescott to pick apart the secondary from a clean pocket en route to his 13th straight win over the Giants.
Things that make you go “hmmmmmmm”

NY Giants vs Seattle Seahawks prediction, odds and betting line | The Record
Matchup to watch Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon vs. Giants QB Daniel Jones. Witherspoon’s Pick 6 for a score in last season’s game between the two essentially ended the Giants’ comeback attempt late in the third quarter. The play punctuated Jones’ worst performance of the season as Witherspoon raced 97 yards for the touchdown. He also had two of the Seahawks’ 11 sacks, and afterward poured salt in the wounds by telling reporters Seattle knew exactly where Jones was going with the football. Jones still has a lot to prove every single week, but especially against defenses that have called him out.
Giants offense’s Malik Nabers dependence leaving other options invisible | New York Post
There is no real disguise for what the Giants want to do when they possess the ball. First option: Throw it to rookie Malik Nabers. Second option: Throw it to Wan’Dale Robinson. Third option: Whatever.
Jalin Hyatt, a speed receiver expected to take a step forward in his second season, cannot get any action. He has been targeted only three times and does not have a catch. Rookie tight end Theo Johnson has three receptions and Daniel Bellinger has two. Five catches from the tight end position is basically an afterthought mode of operation.

On Sunday, offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor wrote, “Already a Top 5 WR in the game, delete your account” with the trash emoji in response to a tweet from the “NFL Notifications” X handle that asked, “Does Malik Nabers’ hands lack the clutch gene?”
Darius Slayton on the inability to connect on deep balls
“Everybody hits a small percentage of them anyways, they’re not easy plays to complete”

From Vikings’ shocking start to Chiefs’ WR setback, assessing 4-0 teams: Sando’s Pick Six | The Athletic
One NFL coach said Nabers should look to avoid taking big hits when attempting to rack up yards after the catch.
“Young receivers have to learn how to play the position, which includes when to go for yardage and when to get down to live another day,” the coach said. “When you see him running free through the [Washington] secondary and cutting back, and it’s a play where a linebacker pursues from the stack and just drills him, he learns that by hard knocks.”
Notebook: Giants turn attention to Seahawks | Giants.com
“We got into scoring position multiple times against Dallas,” said Darius Slayton. “We scored, I think, on every drive in the first half (except for a late kneel-down), and then in the second half, we got into scoring position other times. If it wasn’t for a penalty here or there, or better execution by us here or there, we would have been in scoring position some more. That tells you that we’re getting into the scoring position and now you just have to finish from there. The encouraging part of that is that we are getting down there. If you’re not getting down there then you don’t have a chance in the first place. I would say that going forward is what we will try to hang our hat on is, ‘All right, we have done a good job of getting there and now we have to finish when we get there.'”
Giants still looking to fix kick return game

Even with Brian Daboll calling plays, Giants’ offense is still failing — a bad sign for his job security | NJ.com
Early in the second half Thursday night, Giants coach Brian Daboll looked toward the end zone.
His offense — now in both scheme and play calls — lined up for second-and-goal at the Cowboys’ 10-yard line. The Giants trailed 14-9, but they were looking good on this initial drive of the third quarter, having advanced all the way from their own 20.
The Belichick watch is on | Pro Football Talk
3. Giants. Belichick has always had a soft spot for the Giants. When details of the dysfunction over the handling of Jimmy Garoppolo emerged several years ago, a report surfaced that Belichick would want to coach the Giants if/when things end in New England.
Depending on how the rest of the year goes, the Giants could be making changes, yet again; John Mara has fired four coaches in less than a decade.The possibility of Belichick landing with the Cowboys or the Eagles could be enough to get Mara to pull the trigger, making the guy who once quit as HC of the NYJ the new HC/GM of the NYG.

How Mike Macdonald is guiding the Seahawks post-Pete Carroll | ESPN.com
“He’s just big on accountability, which is really important right now because it’s a lot of new players, a new staff, a new way of doing things around here,” defensive tackle Leonard Williams said. “I think when you’re trying to implement something new, it takes a lot on the players and the leaders on the team to hold everyone accountable. … I think he’s doing a good job.”

“He’s an elite competitor and he is very poised, that’s a pretty good combination,” Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said. “Throws the heck out of the football too. That helps.”
