Amid two-plus seasons of losing football, the Brian Daboll era is in dire straits. The prevailing opinion has always been that the New York Giants head coach will retain his post if rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart impresses.

As he generally does, Daboll updated the status of several injured players, including center John Michael Schmitz, who is "making very good progress" in concussion protocol. Meanwhile, defensive lineman D.J. Davidson was added to the injury.

The New York Giants' 33-32 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 7 was the result of massive defensive and special teams issues. Irish kicker Jude McAtamney faced harsh criticism after his performance against the Broncos signficantly contributed to the loss.

The New York Giants were unable to seize momentum this past Sunday as they dropped a 33-32 road game to the Denver Broncos marked by a late defensive collapse including 33 points given up in the fourth quarter. The Giants fell to 2-5 on the season, losing one week removed from a monumental upset over the Philadelphia Eagles at home.
