We’re not far into the 2020 season, but the New York Giants already have comparisons to previous seasons. That’s because the team has started 0-3, and after their most recent loss, Dave Gettleman is once again on the hot seat.
The New York Giants have been arguably the weakest unit on the team through its disappointing 0-3 start. After investing a fair amount of assets into the offensive line this offseason and acquiring one of the best positional coaches in the sport to guide them, the Giants’ offensive line appears to have somehow gotten worse in 2020.

Alfred Morrs, Clayton Thorson added
The New York Giants shuffled their practice squad on Tuesday. Quarterback Cooper Rush and running back Rod smith are out, while veteran running back Alfred Morris and quarterback Clayton Thorson are in.
Morris, added to the practice squad thanks to the new rules allowing veterans with unlimited experience to be signed, is the most notable addition. The...

We tasked Nick Falato with trying — here’s what he came up with
2020 New York football is about as dismal as it gets. Both the Giants and the Jets are 0-3, and hope seems to be lost for both franchises. It’s a true shame; Jet fans are chanting Tank for Trevor Lawrence, and fire Adam Gase. Giants’ fans are calling for the head of Dave Gettleman, and hope to see some fire from this Joe Judge squad.
Bleak is one way to describe the two...

Notes on Devonta Freeman, Oshane Ximines, Tae Crowder, more
Here are some of the takeaways from Tuesday’s media availability of New York Giants position coaches.
“Good first outing” for Devonta FreemanThat is the assessment of running backs coach Burton Burns.
“We planned on just kind of easing him in. He’s still learning the system. We got him 15 snaps and I thought he did well, did what he was supposed to do as far as his...

With Aaron Donald up next, the offensive line play certainly needs to
For the second straight Tuesday, the New York Giants held what I have quickly come to call ‘Zoom-Mania.’ That is nine Zoom sessions with position coaches on three separate links over a 45-minute span. It’s crazy. And offensive line coach Marc Colombo is the unquestioned star of the show.
Colombo coaches a group that has struggled mightily, last in the league in...

Team continuing to look for cornerback help
The New York Giants are continuing to spin the cornerback wheel, signing Madre Harper off the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad.
Harper, 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, is an undrafted free agent rookie out of Southern Illinois. Per Pro Football Focus Harper had a 70.9 coverage grade with 2 interceptions and 10 passes defended last season. He spent two seasons at Oklahoma State befor...

Putting the quarterback in position to succeed
This was supposed to be the fall of Daniel Jones’ development.
Granted, there existed concerns about how the young passer would acclimate to a new offense - his third in three years - given everything that 2020 has put on our collective plates. Those concerns were exacerbated when the New York Giants lost Saquon Barkley for the season with a knee injury in just the second game of the year.
That’s the...

If you’ve watched the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints operate offensively, you’ve seen what quality looks like in the NFL. The New York Giants are far and away from being capable of that type of success, but that doesn’t mean that they are void of the talent to do so.

What went wrong for the Giants in week 3?
Every week after a New York Giants game, the Chris and Joe Show takes the next day to dive into the game tape. We offer our immediate reactions in the wake of the game, but it’s always good to confirm if we really saw what we thought we saw, or why we saw what we saw. That sort of thing can only come from rewatching the tape — after all, NFL games are always chaotic and we can miss key elements in the...
The New York Giants’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers exposed a lot of weaknesses that previously might have been strengths. The talent on the roster remains in serious question, as three years after general manager Dave Gettleman took over, the organization is continuously taking steps backward.

Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Nick Gates: “We didn’t do anything really well”Giants’ center Nick Gates was blunt on Monday in his assessment of the offensive line’s performance Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.

Coach says his team’s frame of mind in “fine” after 0-3 start
Even at 0-3, the optimist’s point of view would be that the New York Giants are only one win out of first place in the pitiful NFC East. New York Giants coach Joe Judge isn’t worried about the silver lining of the division’s standings.
“Right now I’m really just emphasizing weekly improvement, starting with fundamentals and execution, that’s really it. We’ve gotta focus on...

A look at some of the grades from Sunday
I always remind readers that Pro Football Focus grades are not gospel. They are not the be-all or end-all of who played well, who did not and who is or is not a good NFL player. they are, though, a discussion tool that gives us a pretty good indication of performance.
So, let’s look at some of the New York Giants PFF grades from Sunday’s 36-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
