Giants news Authentic Saquon Barkley Jersey , 9/26: Pat Shurmur’s flexibility, Eli’s weapons, fans! Let’s check the headlines as the Giants prepare for Sunday’s game at MetLife Stadium vs. the New Orleans Saints.Pat Shurmur earned his game ball because of his willingness to change, not just NFL etiquette | NewsdayOne of the things Pat Shurmur brought to the Giants was flexibility. He didn’t simply bring a scheme and a way of doing things, and make everyone else adapt to it. That was part of the downfall of Ben McAdoo. Shurmur, though, is different. Newsday’s Tom Rock writes:The Giants appeased Ereck Flowers until they failed him | NY PostPaul Schwartz tells us that while former first-round pick Ereck Flowers bears much of the responsibility for not living up to his draft status http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/saquon-barkley-jersey , the Giants also share some of the blame. In my view, he has a good point. Schwartz writes:Pat Shurmur on QB sack rule: 'Anatomically, this is getting difficult' | NewsdayThe Giants have yet to be impacted by the league’s new overzealousness to protect quarterbacks. They will be at some point, though, and Shurmur understands the difficult situation defenders are being placed in. A hard, clean tackle is seemingly no longer wanted in football — at least not when it is made on a quarterback.With Saquon Barkley, Giants’ Eli Manning has ‘better group than I ever threw with,’ says Phil Simms | NJ.comFormer Giants quarterback Phil Simms on Tuesday supported the Giants’ decision to draft Saquon Barkley and said the play-makers art Eli Manning’s disposal is better than any group he ever played with.CB Patrick Robinson of New Orleans Saints headed to injured reserve with broken ankle | ESPNWhat Eli Manning must do to beat Brees in battle of vet QBs | NY PostSaints vs. Giants Betting Preview: Why Giants Can Exploit Saints' Struggling Pass Defense | Sports Illustrated Up, down. Good http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/patrick-omameh-jersey , bad. This is nothing new for the Jacksonville Jaguars.Offensive inconsistency has become as much a part of the team's identity as defensive proficiency under coach Doug Marrone. It's Jacksonville's biggest downfall and a main reason why many outsiders refuse to consider the Jaguars (2-1) a legitimate title contender in 2018.They reached another low Sunday, failing to score an offensive touchdown for the second time in two years, advancing past midfield just twice and losing 9-6 to AFC South rival Tennessee .Dropped passes, batted balls and penalties were part of the problem. So was Blake Bortles, who completed 21 of 34 passes for 155 yards and was sacked three times.The lackluster performance came one week after Jacksonville looked unbelievably smooth in a 31-20 victory against New England , a rematch of last season's AFC championship game."Is it head-scratching? Yeah, of course," Marrone said. "Obviously, it's not what you expect. ... It's not like it's one thing or one set. It was a combination of really not playing well at all."The Jaguars will try to bounce back against the New York Jets (1-2) on Sunday http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/kareem-martin-jersey , wrapping up a three-game homestand."We've got to find out and figure out how we're going to handle it as a team," Bortles said.Getting running back Leonard Fournette back would help. Fournette missed his second consecutive game with a strained right hamstring. He tweaked it in the season opener at the New York Giants and has missed 10 of 12 quarters.Fournette is the team's offensive centerpiece, a pounding runner who sets the tone for Marrone's throwback style. The Jags managed to beat the Giants and Patriots without him, but needed a defensive touchdown to upend New York and the best game of Bortles' five-year career to knock off New England.They never led against the Titans, falling behind after a failed fake punt early and giving up a game-winning drive late."It definitely feels like a letdown," Bortles said. "I don't think there was anything carried over from last week or the previous two weeks. We try to treat it like a new start, a fresh start. ... Kind of came out and offensively laid a goose egg. Score six points in four quarters is hard to do."It was the franchise's fewest points since a 30-6 loss to Houston in the 2015 season finale and its fewest at home since a 37-3 drubbing by Indianapolis in 2013.The Jaguars blamed the latest dud on matchup issues against the equally physical Titans, who have won three in a row and five of the last six in the series. But they also struggled to generate many yards and points against the Jets, Cleveland http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/aldrick-rosas-jersey , Arizona and Buffalo in 2017 and against the Giants two weeks ago."Very frustrating, but we're not going to blame people," Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey said.Not yet anyway. But in a season several players have dubbed Super Bowl-or-bust and with a defense that considers itself the best in the league , Jacksonville has potential for back-biting and finger-pointing.The Jaguars insist that won't happen. Several defenders even spoke in the locker room after the loss and showed support for Bortles and the offense."I'm confident this team will respond," defensive end Calais Campbell said. "Losses suck. They always have; they always will. This one stings a little bit because it's a division game at home. At the end of the day, it's just one loss, and how we respond is really what it comes down to. I'm very confident this team will respond."
