NEW YORK (WFAN) — Eli Manning doesn’t easily reveal his emotions, but he admitted Monday the Giants’ 1-7 start has been difficult for him.

“It’s tough,” he said. “Of course you’re going to be down, you’re going to be disappointed, and getting beat and getting beat badly, it’s always tough. It wouldn’t be natural if it didn’t hurt. You want to fix it.”

The talk is growing louder that the Giants may at some point bench their quarterback to see what they have in rookie Davis Webb. Coach Ben McAdoo didn’t rule out the possibility Sunday, but a day later he said he was sticking with Manning for now.
