Cleanup mistakes

We have heard time and time again from the coaching staff about “executing” or “cleaning up mistakes.” Now it is time to see some action as talk is cheap.

From missed assignments, to the fumbling issues of Daniel Jones (13), to lack of separation from receivers, we have seen a sloppy product on the field throughout the first 10 games of the Giants season. While they were not necessarily expected to contend this year, on paper the team should be better than their record shows. The problem is, they have played like their putrid record by consistently making the same mistakes every week from the coaches, down to the players.

While Shurmur has received a vote of confidence from Giants brass, it does not mean they will stick with him if his team continues to regress. Lack of execution and constant mistakes reflect poor coaching and if things don’t get cleaned up soon, John Mara will find a staff capable of fixing these areas.
