EAST RUTHERFORD Phil Simms Jerseys 2019 , N.J. (AP) — While the win total has increased slightly after a fiasco of a 2017 season, Pat Shurmur sees good things on the horizon for the New York Giants.That’s provided the Giants (5-10) learn how to finish games.It’s been one of their major weaknesses this season and they head into the final week of a fruitless season coming off another late-game collapse in a 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.It was the third time this season Shurmur has seen the Giants lose a road game when the opposition scored the deciding points in the final minute. Seven of their losses have been by seven points or less.“We’ve won some games, but we haven’t won enough, and so that’s the growth that has to take place, and for those of us that aren’t very patient, it’s a painful process until we get to that point where we’re winning all of these games at the end – not just a few of them, but all of them,” Shurmur said Monday, a day after the Giants squandered an early 14-0 lead.“We all know that it comes down to a drive or two at the end or the critical plays at the end of a game,” he added. “There’s things that we’re doing that are good enough, but right is right. We’ve got to do it throughout the game and we’ve got to win them.”Looking back, this has been a turnaround year. The roster has fewer than 15 players left over from last year’s 3-13 season. While Eli Manning has remained the quarterback, the offense has changed and has added dynamic rookie halfback Saquon Barkley to a group of playmakers that include wideouts Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard and the suddenly revitalized and healthy Evan Engram at tight end.The defense has shown flashes. The takeaways have picked up, but the run defense and finding ways to close out games have faltered too much.“You’ve got to go out and take these wins, nobody gives you anything,” Shurmur said. “So when you get to the position like we were at the end of this game, it’s safe to say we’ve been in a handful of these this season where we’ve won a couple and then we’ve let a couple get away from us. But nothing’s given to you in this league, you’ve got to go take it.”Shurmur refused to say his team needed better players, insisting he liked the group he has now.However, a few more players will help.The Giants, who have made the playoffs once since 2011, are close to be a contender, Shurmur said.“I think as we start building and as the players get better, as we improve White Doug Kotar Jerseys , as we understand situations and how to play each situation better, then eventually this thing pushes over the top,” Shurmur said of his first season in charge. “So I would agree with their assessment.”NOTES: Shurmur said some of his injured players are close to returning for the Dallas game on Sunday. He did not mention Beckham, who has missed the last three games with a quadriceps injury. … The players had a short day Monday and will be off Tuesday for Christmas. The coaches will have Tuesday morning off but will be back in the afternoon to work on the Cowboys. … Manning will start Sunday at MetLife Stadium. … The game has little meaning since the Cowboys won the NFC East and will have a wild-card game at home. There are a handful of changes since the last time we did this" New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2019New York Giants pre-training camp 53-man roster projectionNew,59commentsThere are a handful of changes since the last time we did thisEDTWith New York Giants veterans reporting for training camp on Wednesday let’s update our 53-man roster projection.I will be honest here. I am absolutely not sure what to do with offensive line depth, mostly because no matter how I have tried to configure it I don’t believe it’s good enough. Next, you will see that I have only three safeties on the roster. I think the Giants need four, but until we get to camp and preseason games — or the Giants sign Tre Boston — I don’t know who the fourth could be.Offense (25)Quarterbacks (3)Starter: Eli ManningBackups: Daniel Jones, Alex TanneyNo change from the spring.Tanney threw the ball well all spring, and the Giants obviously like what the 31-year-old brings to their quarterback room. As a non-threatening No. 3 quarterback he can be useful to both Eli Manning and Daniel Jones.Kyle Lauletta? His spring start was slowed as he recovered from knee surgery, and it didn’t pick up a whole lot. He was fourth in the quarterback pecking order during the spring, and I’m really not sure he can move up from there.The big story at quarterback, of course, is when — or if — Jones will take over for Manning at some point this season. This Manning-Jones story is going to dominate training camp coverage of the Giants, but in my view it probably should not.Coach Pat Shurmur can phrase it any way he wants — competition, not a competition, yada yada — as long as he is healthy Manning is starting Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys.Where things get interesting is during the season, especially if the Giants play poorly. It is hard to imagine the Giants going through the entire season without getting Jones at least some meaningful playing time.Paul Perkins in 2017Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY SportsRunning backs (4)Change: Gallman outStarter: Saquon BarkleyBackups: Rod Smith, Paul PerkinsFullback: Elijhaa PennyThe surprise here, at least to me, is that I think Perkins takes a job away from Gallman. In the spring, I had five running backs making the roster. The more I have thought about it, though, considering how few touches there are likely to be for the players behind Barkley Doug Kotar Jerseys 2019 , I think it’s hard to justify using that many roster spots on running backs.Why Gallman, Barkley’s backup last season, as the odd man out? One reason — I have a hard time getting past Gallman’s five fumbles in 210 career touches. At minimum, the job of a backup is to not hurt his team when he gets opportunities. A fumble every 42 touches simply isn’t good enough.Perkins can run the ball, catch it and is a capable pass blocker. After a year on IR, I just have a suspicion he earns a spot on the team.I’m also keeping even though the 235-pound Smith has fullback size and played the position at the beginning of his career. The Giants have emphasized that they want to be a running team, and if that’s going to be the case I have a hard time seeing them try to do that without keeping a true fullback on the roster.Tight ends (4)Starters: Evan Engram, Rhett EllisonBackup: C.J. Conrad, Scott SimonsonChange: Simonson inI have Conrad, an impressive undrafted free agent out of Kentucky, making the roster. In my last projection I had the Giants keeping only three tight ends. That, though, feels thin. The Giants employed 12 personnel (two tight ends) 24 percent of the time in 2018. So, Simonson is in.Also, I speculated recently that Ellison could be on the roster bubble. I believe that to be true, but I also believe odds are pretty good that he is part of the 53-man roster.Wide receivers (6)Starters: Sterling Shepard, Golden TateBackups: Cody Latimer, Corey Coleman, Darius Slayton, Russell ShepardThe more I watched the wide receivers in spring practices the less I worried about the receiving group without Odell Beckham Jr.Sterling Shepard and Tate are good players, and in OTAs and mandatory mini-camp Eli Manning was getting them the ball regularly. Cody Latimer was good all spring. Corey Coleman should be better with a full offseason and training camp to learn the playbook, and his speed is undeniable. Rookie Darius Slayton rebounded nicely from a rough first practice of rookie mini-camp. The speed and potential are obvious.In the spring I had Fowler making the roster ahead of Russell Shepard. I wasn’t completely sold on my own prediction, though, and have changed it. Shepard isn’t going to give the Giants a lot as a receiver White Harry Carson Jerseys , but his importance on special teams is hard to overlook. I think it gets him a roster spot.Offensive linemen (8)Starters: Nate Solder (LT), Will Hernandez (LG), Jon Halapio (C), Kevin Zeitler (RG), Mike Remmers (RT)Backups: Spencer Pulley, Chad Wheeler, James O’HaganChanges: Evan Brown, George Asafo-Adjei out; O’Hagan inObviously, I’m not really sold on the depth here. For now, I have O’Hagan, a UDFA from Buffalo, beating out Brown. I have Asafo-Adjei landing on the practice squad.I have a hard time believing the Giants are really sold on Brown, since they never bothered activating him for a single game last season. Asafo-Adjei is right tackle only, and I think the Giants might end up trying to get him to the practice squad. Honestly, I’d like to keep more linemen than this, but I’m recalling that the Giants generally only dressed seven on game days a season ago.If I’m GM Dave Gettleman I’m scouring the waiver wire for veteran castoffs during the preseason to bring in as depth players.Defense (25)Defensive linemen (6)Starters: Dalvin Tomlinson, B.J. Hill, Dexter LawrenceBackups: R.J., McIntosh, Chris Slayton, Olsen PierreChange: Added Olsen PierreAfter spring workouts I left Pierre off the final 53 because he was held out of practice during OTAs and mini-camp. The more I have thought about it, the Giants can’t go into the season with only two backups who have six games and 65 snaps worth of experience. So, I’m adding the former Cardinal to the mix.Loreenzo Carter tackling Cam Newton.Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY SportsEdge defenders (4)Starters: Lorenzo Carter, Markus GoldenBackups: Oshane Ximines Harry Carson Jerseys 2019 , Kareem MartinNo changeI have thought at times that the Giants might choose to move on from Martin and take the $3.275 million in cap savings, but right now I don’t see anyone else stepping up and taking that fourth edge spot. Martin is an adequate player, and his experience in James Bettcher’s defense is a plus.Inside linebackers (5)Starters: Alec Ogletree, B.J. GoodsonBackups: Tae Davis, Ryan Connelly, Josiah TauaefaChange: Tauaefa in, Nathan Stupar outAfter spring practices I wasn’t willing to make this move. I think, though, Tauaefa could end up being a guy the Giants want to keep around. They used a big chunk of their UDFA budget to get him. I will go out on a limb here and say he justifies that move.Cornerbacks (7)Starters: Janoris Jenkins, DeAndre Baker, Julian Love (slot)Backups: Sam Beal, Grant Haley, Corey Ballentine, Antonio HamiltonI have Love eventually overtaking Haley to be the slot corner. I have added special teams gunner Antonio Hamilton.Safeties (3)Starters: Jabrill Peppers, Antoine BetheaBackups: Michael ThomasI really want to keep a fourth safety, but right now I don’t know who that would be. The obvious choice is Sean Chandler, but he was held out of spring practices. I need to see him healthy. If he is, Chandler probably makes the roster and Ballentine could be ticketed for practice squad duty to start the season.Special teams (3)Punter: Riley DixonPlacekicker: Aldrick RosasSnapper: Zak DeOssieUnless injury dictates a switch somewhere in here, there is no reason to make any changes to this group.
