John Mara said he was "embarrassed" by the Giants record 1-5.
"I do not like that either," Giants coach Pat Shurmur said Tuesday. "I am disappointed that we are 1-5 and we are working to correct that. I've said it before: when we lose football games, I'm disappointed for our players, our coaches, our fans and our administration. And that includes John. "
But Shurmur did not use the word "embarrassed". And a number of players to whom the co-owner of the team was questioned in the locker room Tuesday shortly after their appearance at a meeting of the league in Manhattan.
Frustrated? Yes. Disappointed? Absolutely.
"I understand," Shurmur said. "I know that feeling, those of us who have coached this game long enough have earned enough to know how we feel, and we've lost games and gone through stretches where you're trying to build something and you're losing and you know what it's like I've mentioned over and over that it's urgent to do it right and we're trying to do what's necessary to do it. "
Mara said that he trusted Shurmur and General Manager Dave Gettleman to rectify things. And he expressed a certain level of confidence in Eli Manning as a quarterback of the team. When a team is made up of 1 to 5, there is a lot of criticism to be made and that is certainly the case.
"It's for people outside the building," said Shurmur, who has been trying to identify the person in charge of the season so far. "None of us has sufficiently played or trained to be where we want to be. We own that. Outside the building, he is still praising and blaming. It's the noise that's happening outside the building. We correct each game in particular, each situation in particular, each event of the game with the idea that, if an error is made, correct it and move on to something else. The goal is that it does not happen again. This is where it is.
Notes and quotes: The Giants placed WR Cody Latimer (hamstring) and LB Ray-Ray Armstrong (concussion) in the injured reserve and gave up CB Donte Deayon. They hired free agent WR Bennie Fowler and promoted LB Ukeme Eligwe and CB Grant Haley from the training team to replace them. . Olivier Vernon, T. Nate Solder and LB Connor Barwin did not participate in the practice of light. The Giants are seriously starting their preparations for the Falcons on Thursday. . .TEs Evan Engran and Rhett Ellison both trained after missing the game against the Eagles. "We hope that they will be back and ready to show up on Monday," Shurmur said.
