EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Several anonymous New York Giants players criticized coach Ben McAdoo in recent weeks and expressed their opinion that the second-year head coach had lost the team. When the report was published by ESPN’s Josina Anderson, it was met with a sharp response from the locker room. The players didn’t like their teammates dishing anonymously and several players used the word “cowardly” to describe their actions.
McAdoo said he had an open-door policy on Thursday and implored anyone with a complaint to come speak with him personally. He went with the “fake news” approach on Friday as his 1-7 team prepares for a matchup this Sunday on the West Coast against the San Francisco 49ers.
