The New York Giants, whenever they finally are permitted to get this 2020 season started, will be under a new regime. Joe Judge is now the head coach and the offensive game plan and play calling will be in the very capable hands of new offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.
Garrett is a familiar face to Giant fans, first as a former player (he spent four seasons with the Giants from 2000-2003) and also as the long-time head coach of the rival Dallas Cowboys.
Former Giants quarterback Eli Manning (that still sounds odd to say) believes the Giants will be in good shape with Garrett and new quarterback Daniel Jones running the offense.
“I have competed against Coach Garrett and his teams most of my career and have a great respect for him and as an offensive mind and a Jersey guy,” Manning said during a SiriusXM Radio interview on Monday. “I think he’ll do a wonderful job. And Coach Judge will get the team going back in the right direction. I think they’re headed in the right way.”
The Giants — and every NFL team for that matter — are conducting their workouts and team meetings virtually which is especially tough for teams that have first year head coaches and a lot of new faces, such as the Giants.
“I know this has got to be, it’s obviously tough on a lot of people, but in the sports world to try to put a team together when you can’t be with them,” Manning said. “It’s got to be hard not to be able to practice and have a spring, especially with a new coach and new systems going in.”
As head coach of the Cowboys, Garrett compiled a 87-70 record and a 13-6 mark versus the Giants.
