DWinzit Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I guess this idea can't hurt.....they just need guys to get healthy Slumping Giants hold players-only meeting EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (Nov. 27, 2006) -- With their season unraveling after an embarrassing fourth-quarter meltdown against Tennessee, the Ginats held a players-only meeting. An attempt to regroup before their NFC East showdown with Dallas this weekend, the 15- to 20-minute meeting was described by center Shaun O'Hara as "a little extra time among friends." It took place after coach Tom Coughlin spoke to the team about having its heart cut out in a 24-21 loss in which the Titans scored all their points in the final 9:35. "It was an upbeat meeting," said O'Hara, who refused to give specifics. "It was a good meeting. It was just what we needed." About a half-dozen players spoke, linebacker Antonio Pierce said. "If you were a rookie, you've never lost a game like this before," Pierce said. "But it wasn't geared for just the rookies. It was geared for veterans and everybody." A number of players asked Coughlin for permission to talk among themselves and the coach obliged after the worst fourth-quarter collapse in the team's 86-year history. The loss was the third straight for New York (6-5), which dropped it a game behind the Cowboys (7-4) in the division. "We are on the right track, as sick as we are about that game," O'Hara said. "We're all on the same page and that's the most important thing. We're not spread out." And they aren't listening to speculation about Coughlin's job security with a year left on his contract, and about quarterback Eil Manning's confidence a day after his last-minute interception cost the Giants a game.

Mr. S Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I've been waiting for this explosion to happen all season. Coughlin to his credit has brought in great players to set the team up for a while. However, not sure what's going on, but BOOM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyGator Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'm not sure a Coughlin-type can do well in the long-term in the NYC market, especially since he didn't win a SB with the Jags. I think the team misses Toomer a lot. He's not a loose canon like Burress, Shockey or to a certain extent (lately), Barber. Both he and Hilliard always seemed to quietly do their jobs. Accorsi was very reluctant to let Hilliard go. He had a winning attitude and got along well with the media. That's hard to replace in New York.

tr1 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I just got around to seeing the high-lights of the Giants' game on Sunday... Wow. What was Eli doing passing? Who called that play? And that non-sack ranks up there with Gus' head-butt with the brick wall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
