Bill Parcells was 3-12-1 as the rookie head coach of the Giants. He nearly lost his dream job and always knew why. “I was just trying to be a head coach instead of being Bill Parcells,” he said. It is why he has this advice for Joe Judge: “Be yourself.” Judge has not once flinched …

There is much we do not know about Joe Judge, and cannot know until the moment arrives. Fourth-and-3 from his own 47-yard line, down by three midway through the fourth quarter. What does Judge do? Punt it away or tell Daniel Jones to get the first down? Is Judge going to play the percentages or …

Add another to the list of former NFL players who think Giants head coach Joe Judge’s old-school coaching style is bananas. Appearing on Fox Sports on Tuesday, former Eagles linebacker Emmanuel Acho blasted the way Judge has been running Giants practices since training camps began last month. Calling his tactics “dumb” and “imbecilic,” Acho said …

The Joe Judge Era is just beginning, but one Hall of Famer is predicting an ugly ending. Judge’s first Giants padded practice included players and assistant coaches running laps as punishment for miscues that would lead to penalties in games. It’s a rare sight in the NFL, and Shannon Sharpe doesn’t think paid professionals are …

Watch me. This is the way I did it. This is how I want you to do it. This has not been the Giants’ way on their offensive line, but it is now. This is what Marc Colombo brings to the meeting room and the practice field. He stands 6-foot-8 and can take one of …

It is interesting that when Jabrill Peppers is asked about becoming more of a leader, he says there are a whole bunch of great leaders on the Giants and he is trying to learn from them. It is interesting when Peppers is asked about his hunger to play after his 2019 season was curtailed by …

The need certainly seems to be there. Unless you ask Joe Judge. The first-year head coach knows more than anyone what he has on his roster and when he scans the list of cornerbacks, there is James Bradberry as a given and then everyone else as, well, something else. As situations go, this one appears …

There is no Eli Manning now in front of him on the depth chart, no Eli Manning in the quarterback room, no Eli Manning in the socially distanced locker room, no awkward Eli Manning questions for Daniel Jones to answer. But because icons leave giant footsteps to fill when they retire, there will be Eli …
