New York’s head coach has seen a lot in his 25 years in the business. Plus, life without Saquon Barkley and a rookie tight end steps up.
Standing around the 10-yard line of one of the New York Giants’ parallel grass practice fields, a noticeably svelte Brian Daboll took a moment to look back through his 25-year career. Seven seasons with the New England Patriots, including three Super Bowls and five playoff appearances. Two seasons with the New York Jets as a quarterbacks coach.
So, minus that fleeting feeling of assuredness, why not wrap one’s arms around the absolute uncertainty of it all? That’s reflected in the way Daboll has structured his practices so far. “Seven on seven, at times, it gets a little unrealistic,” veteran wideout Darius Slayton says. “The linebackers are dropping like 30 million yards, there’s no rush impacting the quarterback, the defense doesn’t have to respect the running game. I mean, I like 7 on 7 because I’m an offensive player but having the elements out there…it helps get you ready for real football.”
