Other Giant observations

Ranking the best NFL rookies after Week 10 | PFF

4. CB Andru Phillips, PFF Grade: 84.6. Phillips has earned the third-highest coverage grade in the NFL this season and is coming off a career-best performance in Munich against the Panthers. He allowed only three receptions across 22 coverage snaps, holding them to a total of 6 yards, and he recorded four defensive stops, too.

7. WR Malik Nabers, PFF Grade: 80.9. Though he hasn’t quite matched the level of play he showed before his injury, Malik Nabers has been a steady presence for the Giants, averaging 2.03 yards per route run through the first 10 weeks. He’s also been a primary target, seeing 10 or more targets in six of his eight games this season.

Joe Schoen: Probably a mistake trying to accelerate rebuild

NY Giants: Should Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll lose their jobs? | The Record

There have also been suggestions that, for Schoen and Daboll, their time is up, despite a vote of confidence from co-owner John Mara last month. It’s worth pointing out that, under the guise that the Giants are nowhere near where they expect to be in the standings, revisionist history is being used against them, and the takes are disingenuous.

But there’s a lot at play here. How the Giants respond to perception when everyone in their building knows what the reality was when Schoen and Daboll took over, and how far from that they truly are right now despite the record.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. nominated for Rookie of the Week | Giants.com

For the fourth time this season, running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been nominated for the Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week. Tracy and wide receiver Malik Nabers have each been nominated for the award four times through the first 10 weeks of the season.

The 24-year-old running back carried the ball 18 times for 103 yards, good for an average of 5.7 yards per carry, and a touchdown in Munich. Tracy finished the game with three runs of 10+ yards, including his impressive 32-yard touchdown run. The rookie back proved difficult to tackle as he matched his season-high with five missed tackles forced, while setting a new high mark with 4.28 yards after contact per attempt.

‘The QB has to make the throws’

Why your NFL team won, lost in Week 10 | PFF

It was another bad day at the office for Daniel Jones, and the Giants quarterback just isn’t handling pressure well. Jones was pressured on 35.7% of his dropbacks and completed just 27.3% of his passes for 38 yards and an average of 3.8 yards per attempt, earning a 50.8 passing grade.

Giants need to plug holes in NFL-worst run defense | New York Post

The Giants enter their bye week surrendering 5.3 yards-per-carry this season — worst in the NFL. They’ve given up 1,471 total rushing yards, third-most in the league. Recently, opponents have been attacking the edge and running outside the tackles on the Giants — away from Dexter Lawrence in the middle. It’s been badly exposed without Kayvon Thibodeaux, who has missed the last five games with a wrist injury. Azeez Ojulari has filled in at outside linebacker and is not a strong run-stopper.

There is no obvious ‘golden goose’ draft pick for Giants to lose for | New York Post

ESPN NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller only has first-round grades and top-32 rankings on two college quarterbacks: Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders and Miami’s Cam Ward.

“It’s a unique class: There’s not a great offensive tackle. There’s not a great quarterback,” said Miller. “The great players are at cornerback and defensive tackle. I think what we’ll see more than anything is that teams who want to trade up for quarterbacks, it’s not going to be as expensive as it’s been. There is not that golden goose.”

NFL Draft 2025: What are Giants’ chances of getting their preferred replacement for Daniel Jones? | NJ.com

We know Daniel Jones is finished as the Giants’ starting quarterback, regardless of whether he gets benched during the bye week, after that debacle of a loss to the Panthers in Munich.

Even if Jones starts a few more games (or starts the rest of 2024), he won’t return in 2025.

2025 NFL draft order projections: Panthers, Patriots at top | ESPN.com

Let’s take a look at the projected first-round draft order for all 32 teams using ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) by projecting the draft order by simulating the remainder of the season 20,000 times. Game probabilities are based largely on the model’s ratings for individual teams in addition to game locations. The order is based on the records the model believes the teams will have after 17 games and each team’s average draft position in the simulations.

1. New York Giants (2-7). Average draft position: 4.8 (last week 6.4). FPI chance to earn No. 1 pick: 17.3% (7.2%). FPI chance to earn top-five pick: 65.5% (46.5%). FPI chance to earn top-10 pick: 92.7% (85.2%)
