Takeaways from Shurmur’s Wednesday press conference
When head coach Pat Shurmur addressed the media Wednesday in his post-practice availability, he did not talk much about the New York Giants opponent this Sunday – the Detroit Lions – but instead said that the team is focusing on how it can improve.
“Even though we’re playing the Lions, a lot of this comes down to it’s all about us,” Shurmur said. “Making sure we play consistently physical...
Josh Gordon’s comeback season is over. Gordon will miss the remainder of the year after the New England Patriots placed him on injured reserve due to a lingering knee injury. Gordon left the Patriots’ game against the New York Giants on Oct. 10 with what at the time seemed to be a minor injury. It turns out that it’s a pretty significant blow, and Gordon won’t play again in 2019. The 28-year-old was having a respectable comeback season for New England. In six games, he made 20...

Poll shows unhappiness of the fan base
Well, that did it. After hovering between 61 and 71 percent since Week 4 of the 2019 NFL season, fan confidence in the direction of the New York Giants has nosedived to just 24 percent following Sunday’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Last week, confidence sat at 66 percent among FanPulse participants. That’s a precipitous drop of 42 percent after the Giants fell to 2-5 by losing a game at home in which they...

Wide receiver still not cleared
Cornerback Corey Ballentine (concussion) did not practice for the New York Giants on Wednesday, and could miss a second straight game.

RB Kerryon Johnson to IR
Former New York Giants running back Paul Perkins is being promoted to the Detroit Lions’ 53-man roster to replace Kerryon Johnson, who has been placed on IR with a knee injury.
Perkins was a fifth-round pick by the Giants in 2016. He spent all of last season on IR. Perkins made the Giants’ 53-man roster, but saw no action and was waived Sept. 16. He was claimed by Detroit the next day, and has...

Coach has drawn fire after Sunday’s awful loss
“Watching some of the decision-making last night, knowing that’s not the first time we’ve kind of scratched our heads at what Pat was thinking I wake up today thinking really for the first time wondering if the Giants have the right coach for the long term.”
This is something I said Monday while chatting with Patricia Traina on the ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast.
So, let’s talk about Shurmur,...

Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Nate Solder to Cleveland Browns?When I did my look at potential Giants trade candidates, it did not include left tackle Nate Solder. Apparently, though, the Cleveland Browns are reportedly “interested” in Solder if they can’t get Trent Williams away from the Washington Redskins.
In the second year of a four-year, $62 million contract, Solder has not played up to his...
The Giants WR has suffered two this fall, but symptoms from the second dissipated quickly and his mind is on "what I love to do" -- not retirement.
The Giants have signed former Cardinals and Buccaneers linebacker Deone Bucannon, as Field Yates of ESPN.com tweets. The deal reunites the former first-round pick with James Bettcher, his old friend and defensive coordinator in Arizona. Bucannon offers some dual-position potential as a safety and, despite the ups and downs of his career, is still only 27. There’s upside here for the G-Men and little risk as this is likely a low-cost deal. The Bucs also had some hope for Bucannon after...

Will the Giants make any moves?
The 2019 NFL trade deadline is one week from today, Oct. 29, at 4 p.m. ET. The New York Giants are 2-5 and, if they do anything between now and next Tuesday, far more likely to be sellers than buyers.
Simply put, at this stage it makes more sense for the Giants to sell off expensive veterans and acquire draft assets than add older players with big contracts.
So, do the Giants have any players other teams might want.

It’s time to play the blame game
Not all sacks are created equal.
We often think of sacks as an offensive line statistic, and a way to measure how well a quarterback is being protected by the guys up front. But that is not always the case. When studying sacks there are often times when other factors play a much bigger role, such as the coverage, the playcall, the receivers, the running backs, and even the quarterback himself. Sacks are best thought of as...

Kaden Smith has become the No. 3 tight end
Tight end Garrett Dickerson, inactive the past two games in favor of rookie tight end Kaden Smith, has been waived by the New York Giants. In his place, the Giants have promoted linebacker Devante Downs from their practice squad.
Downs, 6-foot-2 and 252 pounds, has been on the practice squad since Oct. 1, one week after he was waived by the Minnesota Vikings. He totaled 22 special teams snaps in...
