Giants 53-Man Roster: After “Challenging Day,” Giants Have A Team

New York Giants coach Ben McAdoo admitted on Saturday that choosing a 53-man roster wasn’t easy.

“Today was a challenging day. This week was a challenging week,” McAdoo said. “You have to hand it to the players. They really worked hard in camp. And then Thursday night (the preseason-ending 40-38 victory in New England) really made it tough on us.

“It’s a tough day every time you go through it. The second year is probably harder than it was last year, considering the relationships you build with the men on the team.”

Here are McAdoo’s thoughts on some of the decisions the Giants made.
