Sometimes we all need a moment to cool our heads. After the New York Giants were bombarded by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, Malik Nabers called on his team and head coach Brian Daboll. Now, days later, does the rookie wide receiver regret his choice of words? Apparently not as muchaccording to the SNY Giants.
“When I think back to the game, the plays we called. There were opportunities for me to score targets, for me to win the ball back. We lacked technique and were in poor shape in attack. We only played 15 plays in the first half, they played around 40. There aren’t many plays you can get when you’re only tracking 15 plays per half. If I had the chance to go back and change the words I said, I would. I still stand by what I said. I said it. I have no regrets with what I said.
“I’m not going to sit back just because I’m a young man and not talk about how I feel. They want me to speak. »
As a reminder, these comments are in reference to Nabers’ postgame comments, where he directed reporters to head coach Brian Daboll after not getting the ball back until the second half.
“First, second quarter, I don’t get the ball. Start getting goals at the end. I mean, there’s nothing I can do. I started to get the ball when it was 30-0. What do you want me to do? said Nabers.
As a follow-up, Nabers was asked why he didn’t make a catch until the second half.
“Talk to Dabs,” Nabers replied. “Obviously, it’s not the quarterback. Same result when we had DJ as quarterback. Take a look: it’s not the quarterback.
Nabers later said he had a conversation with Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen after making those comments, but would not comment on the content of those conversations.

When Daniel Jones, the quarterback of the Giants during the 160 million eraplays it safe on the scout team, something is seriously wrong. Granted, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci explained that it’s not uncommon for a third-string signal-caller to play the role of scout team safety; However, while this may be true, the most important thing is that you don’t give him $160 million if he’s bad enough to find himself in this position.
Nabers has been on the team for about six months and he’s tired of it. It says more about those who don’t comment on it, and Nabers is right to speak truth to power.
