EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Pass receiver Jalin Hyatt ran out the storage locker room rapidly, in street garments but along with eye black still coated on his expressionless face.That's unique, even if it's just Full week 1." It's the very first video game of the year," instructor Brian Daboll claimed, the day after a 28-6 drubbing to the Minnesota Vikings. "It is actually a lengthy NFL season." May at the same time include the mentoring adage: it's never as poor as it looks, it's certainly never like it looks as well as the greatest dive comes from Full week 1 to Week 2 to the post-blowout rhetoric. They all could apply.Now comes the fallout from the demolition Daboll watched on Sunday at MetLife Coliseum. He is heading to require to take whatever out of his bag of secrets because although it was actually just one loss, it was actually that poor. It's heading to be actually an obstacle maintaining this closet area all together if factors remain to go south.The frustration on Sunday was palpable. This had not been merely a team that had shed one video game early in a promising period. It was a group teetering on the edge of falling under a lot more reductions." Only down since you know tough you function all offseason. All offseason, all OTAs, all training school," safety Jason Pinnock said.HYATT, THE SECOND-year receiver who was a third-round selection in 2013, had participated in four snaps through the 1st 3 quarters after spending most of the summer as the group's No. 2 receiver contrary newbie Malik Nabers. Veteran Darius Slayton took a bulk of the game reps contrary Nabers.But Slayton is right now in the trauma protocol, which could possibly produce opportunities for Hyatt, whom Daboll phoned the team's "third/fourth" recipient." That can modify week to full week," Daboll stated of the wide receivers however appears to relate to a number of various other placements. "Today that is what it was." At that point there was actually third-year cornerback Cor' Dale Flott starting in the port after investing the whole summer season working with the outdoors. Daboll pointed out Monday he most likely would be back on the outside more today. Flott played in the slot many of final season after starting his Giants job on the outside.Catch atop NFL Full Week 1 u2022 Takeaways, questions from every video game u2022 Graziano courts overreactions (ESPN+) u2022 13 huge shocks coming from Week 1 (ESPN+) u2022 Fantasy's absolute best, worst recently (ESPN+) u2022 Full Week 1 scoreboard"|More ".Meanwhile, Adoree' Jackson, re-signed only over a full week just before the opener, played a great part of the pops on the outside. He committed a costly yet disputable 35-yard pass interference charge in the 1st half.As for zing returner Artilleryman Olszewski, he really did not even make it to kickoff for the Giants. Olszewski exacerbated his groin in pregame warmups after spending the past couple of full weeks visibly straining to relocate without restriction. He's currently out for "weeks," depending on to Daboll. Time for the crew to find a new returner.And just how about proficient protective back/linebacker Isaiah Simmons? He failed to play a solitary protective piece of cake, instead checking out Flott start at the spot where he spent a bulk of the summer months and also, at times, dealt with the 1st team.Safety Dane Belton, at the same time, participated in the "moneybacker" spot ahead of Simmons. It couldn't have actually been what Simmons visualized when he re-signed with the Giants this offseason.Defensive leader Dexter Lawrence and also third-year edge rush Kayvon Thibodeaux also were dissatisfied along with media reporters' concerns in the postgame locker space. They each chose the next-question method at some point during the course of their meeting treatments." It performs the innovators, the captains of the staff, to receive everyone's thoughts best as well as receive everybody prepared for the brand new full week," Lawrence stated after Sunday's loss. "Flush this. Very own it first off. Personal your poor plays, have your excellent stage shows. It's on our company to transform the web page and receive the men ready for a new full week, brand-new challenge." That is actually a lot for Daboll to massage this early in the campaign. These are actually the sorts of factors that usually outrage in Week 18. Not Full week 1. This is actually the kind of stuff Daboll must deal with, on top of probably his greatest issue of all-- quarterback Daniel Jones. He struggled poorly once again on Sunday, an extension of what unfurled throughout a devastating 2023 season. His QBR of 17.4 was the 3rd most affordable in Full week 1. Jones is going to remain the Giants' starter. Barely a surprise considering he took every first-team rep before data backup Drew Hair and third-stringer Tommy DeVito at training camp this summertime. Actually, Daboll will certainly certainly not modify the quarterback agents at all throughout the week. It's likely not mosting likely to reduce the outpouring of calls coming from the outside for Jones to drop his starting job.Editor's PicksThe Giants' beginning quarterback is doing his best to overlook it all." I am actually paid attention to doing my job as well as playing and also I can," Jones mentioned. "So I have actually reached play far better. I understand that, and also I am actually focused on carrying out that." It is actually simply Full week 1 and this is where Daboll and the Giants stand. Nabers is actually being pushed to respond to concerns regarding whether his quarterback is good enough. He was even inquired in his postgame job interview whether Jones tried to find him as much as he anticipated in his very first profession game.Daboll is actually going to have his palms complete keeping it all together, especially if they desperate when traveling Sunday against the Washington Commanders (1 p.m. ET, Fox). If the Giants drop to Minnesota and Washington, where exist mosting likely to be victories? What performs this mean for Daboll and a lot of the guys in the locker room? The Giants have the Cleveland Browns and also Dallas Cowboys on deck in Weeks 3 and also 4. The losing likewise appears to become wearing on Lawrence. He informed ESPN many full weeks back "there is actually merely a great deal B.S. that a person can handle." The players belong to that equation. However thus is actually the coach, that bears the ultimate accountability of keeping every person together.It's on Daboll to be sure he does not drop this actually delicate storage locker area. It is actually not heading to be actually easy if this season goes where Full week 1 suggests it's headed.
