“Soft as f–k”: New York Giants receiver Malik Nabers shared his frustration after an embarrassing defeat to the Buccaneers | NFL News – Times of India

New York Giants receiver Malik Nabers rebuked the 2-9 record and made it clear that such failures can’t all be put at the doorstep of quarterback play. He indicated that something deeper is wrong and that shows lack of accountability through the management and the coaching staff. With Daniel Jones benched and Tommy DeVito taking over, the Giants may be setting up for a quarterback pick in April.Schoen and Daboll have been criticized for their inability to make effective personnel decisions and for being unable to develop a team identity.

Malik Nabers offered the most bluntly worded assessment of Sunday’s game

The Buccaneers of Tampa Bay beat the Giants from New York 30-7, bringing their season record to 2-9. The team finds itself as being unacceptable in its current performance. Following the game, some players had sayings that speak well for the less good day. Dexter Lawrence said the Giants were playing “soft,” while offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor said he doesn’t think “everybody is giving 100%”, but it was wide receiver Malik Nabers who offered the most bluntly worded assessment of Sunday’s game as “soft as f—“, according to The Athletic’s Charlotte Carroll.

Nabers stated that the team’s issues are not attributed to the quarterback. “[It’s the] same outcome when we had [Daniel Jones] at quarterback,” he said. “Take a look, take a look. It ain’t the quarterback.” Asked to diagnose the problem, Nabers said he doesn’t know “what it is, but I know I’m tired of losing.” Nabers expressed frustration with his limited ball contact, stating it limits his ability to assist in a significant deficit.
“I go out there, first and second quarter, and I don’t get the ball and start getting targets at the end,” he said. “I mean, I can’t do nothing. Start getting the ball at 30–0—what do you want me to do?” The team has had a challenging week, causing frustration, but Lawrence’s comments were filled with optimism. “I think it can always get better,” he said. “Right now it’s a long process, and I’m here for it. I’m going to keep leading, doing all I can on the field to lead and talking to the guys I need to talk to on the defense, the offense—whoever.”

Nabers’ comments highlighted both Jones’s and DeVito’s struggles, but his quotes emphasized the need to hold things systemic within the organization accountable in order to get a full understanding of just how much was lost by the team. With growing talk that Schoen and Daboll are being placed in precarious jobs, the Giants will likely continue to evaluate their roster, look for youth, and potentially make changes in the coaching staff.
