Despite players like Malik Nabers saying the team played ‘soft as f—‘ in Sunday’s blowout loss to the Bucs, Giants head coach Brian Daboll doesn’t feel he’s lost the locker room.
When you hear a star player say the team played “soft as f—” after yet another blowout loss, the head coach is going to be questioned about whether he still has control of the locker room.
That’s what happened to Brian Daboll on Monday morning following the New York Giants’ loss at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 30-7.
Rookie receiver Malik Nabers, frustrated he didn’t see a single target from new starting quarterback Tommy DeVito in the first half, was blunt with his team assessment after the game, which Daboll said led to some conversations.
“Leek and I talked last night. We talked this morning. He’s a very competitive individual”, Daboll told members of the media. “Again, you want to get the ball in his hands, and I gotta do a better job getting the ball in his hands early. He’s a smart young guy who’s very competitive. When you lose like that, it’s a frustrating thing, but we’ve had good communication as we’ve always had.
