New York Giants interior defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis on Saturday and received a questionable designation for Monday night's game against the Green Bay Packers. Lawrence missed his first career game due to injury two weeks ago against the Patriots after tweaking his hamstring the week prior to the win against the Commanders. Head coach Brian Daboll said he was "hopeful" of having Lawrence in the lineup Monday night. "He did some individual stuff (Friday), and then he did team periods, which was a good thing to see. He’ll do the same thing today and ..read more

The New York Giants will face the Green Bay Packers in Week 14, hoping to spoil their three-game win streak. This battle has several talented players matched against one another, making for some great entertainment. Still, these two particular matchups are among the key ones that could influence Monday night's outcome. When the Giants Have the Ball Rookie receiver Jalin Hyatt was among the most popular Giants at training camp this summer. The consensus around the Quest Diagnostics Training Center was that New York had found a future big-time duo in quarterback Daniel Jones and Hyatt. However ..read more

The chances of the New York Giants (4-8) earning a postseason berth are around 0.1 percent, but as far as running back Saquon Barkley is concerned, that the team is still mathematically alive is all the motivation needed to keep on going.  “We’re in this, to be honest,” Barkley said. “I’m going to keep it real. We’re not looking too far, or in the hunt, or at playoff pictures. But if we take care of what we need to take care of — everyone can say what they want about the season — it’s Week [14], and everything we want is still there. We don’t need any extra motivation.” No, the Giants don ..read more

From what you have seen so far, do you feel, as I do, that Daboll needs more time as Giants HC, but that changes are needed in some of his assistant coaches, i.e., OC play caller, OL, WR? Next, our OL has been putrid for most of the 10+ years. My opinion differs from some in that our greatest need is n ..read more

In the opinion of legendary New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, the game of football has changed a great deal since the Hall of Famer's heyday. Taylor, appearing on the "Let's Go!" podcast, co-hosted by legendary quarterback Tom Brady and sportscaster Jim Gray on the SiriusXM network, spoke about the vast differences in the NFL's rules from how things were played during their respective careers in the 1980s and early 2000s. The two-time Super Bowl champion remarked to Brady that he wished he could have played in the quarterback's era while alluding to it being a factor in why the futur ..read more

New York Giants defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) was a limited participant in Friday's team practice. Lawrence, who had been projected as limited on the team's Thursday report--the players had off--is hoping to return to the lineup after missing the first game of his career due to injury two weeks ago. The Giants defensive co-captain told reporters earlier this week that he was improving with his injury and hoped to be back on the field. Defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson (hamstring) and inside linebacker Isaiah Simmons (ankle) were also limited on Friday. Offensive tackle Evan N ..read more

As far as New York Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale is concerned, reports of him having tension with head coach Brian Daboll are pretty much ado about nothing. "I don't see eye-to-eye with my wife all the time," Martindale quipped when asked about a FOX Sports report alleging that the relationship between him and Daboll had deteriorated to the point where Martindale might not even finish the current season. "I'm still here today," Martindale noted. "Every time, my key card works… It’s not like I go there, and it works, and I go, ‘Yeah!’" Martindale said the report likely stemmed fr ..read more

Due to the bye, the New York Giants have had an extra week to prepare for the Green Bay Packers, and they’ll need all of that time. The Packers are now hitting their stride after beating the Kansas City Chiefs. Personnel This season, the big storyline for the Packers has been that they no longer have Aaron Rodgers as their signal-caller and have shifted to giving Jordan Love the opportunity to be a franchise quarterback. Love has always had the tools, dating back to his Utah State days, to become an eventual franchise quarterback, and he’s made strides this season. Love this season has 2,866 p ..read more

Tommy DeVito has been named the starting quarterback for the New York Giants this week against a Green Bay Packers defense that just held the Kansas City Chiefs to 19 points last week. What kind of challenge is DeVito looking at this week? Let's break it down. Personnel The strength of this Packers defense lies in the defensive front five. Most teams wouldn't generally get the "front five" classification, but the way that the Packers utilize their outside linebackers gives them that name. Kenny Clark, TJ Slaton, and Devonte Wyatt are the main players on the interior. Clark is far and away the ..read more

The Green Bay Packers visit a New York Giants team that historically hasn't done well following a bye. The Giants are 18-24-0 (42.9 percent) coming off a bye week and are looking to make it two in a row following the annual league-imposed break. It won't be easy, though, as the Packers have been red hot lately. They are 4-1 since Week 9, a .800 winning percentage tied with Dallas and Houston for No. 3 in the NFL over that span (Indianapolis and San Francisco are 4-0).  Their young quarterback, Jordan Love, ranks in the top five in the NFL in passing TDs (t-No. 2, 11), passing yards (No. 3 ..read more
