Other Giant observations
Daniel Jones might be the next Derek Carr or Russell Wilson (and not in a good way) | The Athletic
We are getting closer to that point with every Giants defeat because Jones’ contract carries $23 million in injury guarantees for next season. That’s money the team could avoid paying by releasing Jones after the season, unless Jones were to suffer a serious injury during the second half of this season. In that case, the team could become liable for all or part of that money ($12 million of it becomes fully guaranteed at the start of the 2025 league year, which is March 12).
These sorts of considerations have, from all appearances, led other teams to bench high-priced, low-producing starters in recent seasons, from Derek Carr in Las Vegas to Russell Wilson in Denver. Those teams waited until Week 17 before benching their starters.

NY Giants in Germany: Scouting report, prediction for game vs Carolina Panthers | The Record
These last four games have shined a light on what they already knew: the Giants need a quarterback whose talent can go above the Xs and Os. Right now it feels as though this offense with Daniel Jones has hit its ceiling, and scoring points is a grind. The running game was strong early against the Commanders, and rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. continues to impress. The defense struggled to get off the field and needs to be better in key situations in order to maximize limited opportunities.
Notes & Stats: Giants vs. Commanders Recap | Giants.com
The Giants rushed for 164 yards, their second highest total of the season (175 at Seattle). Rookie Tyrone Tracy (66 yards on 16 carries) again led the team.
Rookie Malik Nabers caught a game-high nine passes, for 59 yards, all in the second half. No other Giants player had more than three receptions. Nabers increased his season total to 55 catches. He is the second player in NFL history with at least 50 receptions in his first seven career games; The Rams Puka Nacua had 58 in seven games last year.
The Nabers Effect
Another EX of something @nickfalato pointed out earlier today on a previous play: The Malik Nabers effect.
Look at how much attention the defense pays to trying to take Nabers away and what it opens up for the #Giants

Sal sounds off on ‘unacceptable behavior’ from Malik Nabers | WFAN.com
“He’s on the sideline hamming it up in the game with his former teammate Jayden Daniels,” Sal said. “Bro, what is Malik Nabers doing?? Their offense stinks…and not only is he not producing, he’s running his mouth and having fun with his former college teammate on the sideline. Unacceptable behavior.”
Giants are in franchise hell with embarrassments piling up | New York Post
“We’ve got to be more precise,” Lawrence said. “I think as a team and as individuals, we’ve got to understand the game a little more, understand why certain things are being called, understand the importance of situations in the game and momentum shifts in the game. We haven’t been good at that and that’s the thing.”
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin Offers Frank Observation About Giants CB Deonte Banks | SI.com
“I knew Banks likes to really slow play routes in the red zone. He likes to kind of, no pun intended, bank inside, meaning he takes inside leverage,” McLaurin said. “He’s not really aggressive in the red zone for whatever reason and so I knew if I came off a little urgently, he would probably try to get hands on quickly and that could make a really bang, bang play.
Buy, sell or hold: What should each NFL team do at the 2024 trade deadline? | PFF
Previously, we noted that this doesn’t feel like a competitive year for the Giants, so what could they get in return for players like Darius Slayton or Azeez Ojulari? That question still stands.
Giants’ loss to Commanders signals it’s time to start selling, build for long term | SNY.tv
With the Giants at 2-7, though, it’s not about this year anymore. This year is dead. It’s not about tanking – no NFL team actually tanks. But it is about doing what is in the best interest of the Giants long-term. What makes them the healthiest moving forward?
Holding on to two players who might help you steal games over equally-bad opponents like the Panthers and Saints? That’s relevant if you’re coaching or managing for your job. If you have assurances you will return because the owner understands the long-term view, then there is no point in holding onto players that will not be with this team when the Giants are ready to compete. Move them. Recoup draft capital. Use that capital.
Giants’ fourth straight loss brings them to familiar time: ‘Tankathon’ season | The Athletic
As the Giants search for answers, Sunday’s loss was the unofficial kickoff of “Tankathon” season. Tankathon is the essential website for the fans of losing teams to track the draft order in real time. It’s become an annual tradition for Giants fans to start refreshing the website around Halloween.
Ownership has promised the patience to allow Schoen and Daboll to build the Giants into a winner. That mostly feels like blind faith as this regime heads backward in its third season.
New York Giants Mock Draft: Giants target quarterback and offensive line in the first two rounds | PFF
ROUND 1 (7): QB Cam Ward, MIAMI FL. Despite a strong outing from Daniel Jones on Sunday, the Giants still find themselves in the hunt for a franchise quarterback. Ward has earned a 90.4 PFF passing grade this season, fourth in the nation, and he is tied for the most big-time throws in college football (23). He could be exactly what they need at the position.
Round 2 (39): T Wyatt Milum, West Virginia; Round 3 (71): CB Tacario Davis, Arizona
This week’s opponent
Dave Canales undecided whether Bryce Young or Andy Dalton starts going forward | Pro Football Talk
Young was benched two weeks into the season but had to return to the starting lineup when Dalton hurt his thumb in a car crash. Asked after the game if he’s prepared to say Young will start this week against the Giants, Canales answered, “Not yet.”
“We’ll take in all the information, watch the film, we’ve got to process, we’ve got to make sure we look at all this stuff, and we’ll let you guys know in the next couple days,” Canales said. “Make sure we make the best decision for the team.”
Buy, sell or hold: What should each NFL team do at the 2024 trade deadline? | PFF
Wide receiver Diontae Johnson has already been traded away, and while this team rebuilds, the goal should be to accumulate more draft capital. Many pricey veterans could be moved on, but Adam Thielen and Xavier Woods look like prime candidates.
Panthers win one they had to fight for, which made it mean more | Panthers.com
“I think building a culture and building an identity just doesn’t happen overnight,” running back Chuba Hubbard said. “It’s something that takes time; it doesn’t just happen through the good or the bad. You kind of have to go through the ups and downs and see both sides of it to see who you truly are. And you know, we still have a long way to go, but definitely feels good to, you know, see the bright side of it.”
