New York Giants Jersey 2019 , New York Giants fans!Punt return committeeWith T.J. Jones no longer on the roster, the Giants don’t have a clear punt returner.“I would always prefer to have one guy, if that’s his only job,” special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey said. “Like anything else, you want one player to be able to focus on one job because when you start giving them 16 jobs, it kind of clouds them a little bit. But you always prefer to have one guy back there and that’s what he does full-time, but Jabrill is talented, Golden Tate is talented, Antonio Hamilton is talented, so I don’t have any issue with it.”James Bettcher on developing young playersHow long should is take for a young defensive player to really understand what is happening on the field? Defensive coordinator James Bettcher said there is no one size fit all answer.“I think that, one, it’s by position. I think sometimes interior defensive linemen versus guys that play further away from the ball that have maybe more things going on, a motion, all of the sudden a split 2019 Dexter Lawrence Jersey , my eyes, fits in the run game, from off versus press. Some of those things, it takes a little, I don’t want to say it takes longer, but there is a little more to it from that standpoint,” Bettcher said. “All young players just need reps, sometimes that goes into year two. I think we’ve all seen guys that in their third year in the league they break out. Why is that? Because they have developed. They understand things and the game slows down for them, or their fundamentals and techniques get better.“It takes some players longer than others. That doesn’t mean that a player is a bust, that just means the guys needs to develop. I think every player is going to be a little bit different as young players.”Giants defense knows what’s comingMinnesota has an excellent running game. With all of the chatter about the Vikings struggling passing attack, though, the Giants know they will be looking to fix that.“Well, we know they’re going to take some shots this week. Kirk (Cousins) has already apologized to those guys, so we know he’s going to look to get them the ball more Dexter Lawrence NFL Draft ,” said safety Jabrill Peppers. “So, we definitely know we have a tall task ahead of us, especially with Dalvin Cook, who’s one of the best backs in the league right now, running the way he’s running, and it’s opening up their bootleg game and play-action pass. So, we definitely have to be on our keys, lock in, alignment and assignment, and just execute the game plan, that’s all it comes down to.”More headlinesNFL Panic Index 2019: Vikings’ passing game is worse than the Dolphins’ - SBNation.comGiants’ Wayne Gallman’s breakout game earned praise from NFL star whose dad won Super Bowl with Big Blue | Q & A - nj.comGiants will not overreact to Minnesota Vikings' offensive bickeringGiants' Dexter Lawrence could see his future in Linval JosephBBV MailbagHave questions about the Giants?

And the guy who pushed down the first domino is pushing back against those who repeated and characterized his words.“Everything’s good,” Thielen told Dave Lee of WCCO radio on Friday morning regarding Thielen’s relationship with quarterback Kirk Cousins. “You know Color Rush Deandre Baker Jersey , the media always tries to twist things and make things into what they’re not.”Although Thielen disagrees with the manner in which his post-game remarks about the team’s passing game were interpreted, the full extent of his comments indicate that Thielen’s criticism of the passing game was directed not at play design or poor blocking or receivers failing to get open but the guy responsible for distributing the football.“At some point, you’re not going to be able to run the ball for 180 yards, even with the best running back in the NFL,” Thielen said. “And that’s when you have to be able to throw the ball. You have to be able to make plays. You have to be able to hit the deep balls. You have to do that because otherwise it’s too easy for teams to just tee up and rush the quarterback. We have to be able to run the ball and pass the ball.”Separately in that same session with reporters, Thielen was asked about his inability to connect with Cousins when Thielen was open deep.“He made a great read of finding me open,” Thielen said, “and just didn’t complete the pass.”Thielen also was asked whether he was having a hard time getting open against the Chicago secondary.“It didn’t feel like that out there,” Thielen said. “I didn’t feel that.”Although it wasn’t an obvious and overt shot at Cousins, Thielen said enough to invite fair questions and scrutiny as to whether he said more publicly than he should have said. Especially since Thielen, when discussing the Stefon Diggs situation on WCCO, incanted the mantra that is most closely associated with Bill Belichick but that traces to the mentor Belichick shares with Vikings coach Mike Zimmer: Duane Charles “Bill” Parcells.“Something I remind myself every day, just do your job to the best of your ability and that’s the most important thing,” Thielen said when deferring comment on Diggs.Belichick would say it’s not Thielen’s job to comment Youth Deandre Baker Jersey , directly or indirectly, on the performance of any other player. And it’s our job as the media to point these things out. It required no “twisting” or embellishment or anything other than ears, eyes, and common sense to understand what Thielen, one of the best receivers in the NFL, was really saying in the fresh rush of frustration that comes after a game in which the Minnesota offense couldn’t run, couldn’t pass, couldn’t score, couldn’t win.
