It’s not a great thing when a team is in a position where they have to call players only meetings. It’s not something that happens when things are going well for a team – the Patriots, Chiefs, Ravens, and any number of other good teams aren’t having their own players only meetings right now, halfway through the season. But the New York Giants are.
According to NJ Advance Media, outside linebacker Alec Ogletree felt the need to call one following the team’s loss against the Detroit Lions. The meeting, of course, follows a result that has led to heavy criticism of head coach Pat Shurmur, who hasn’t offered much improvement from week to week and hasn’t led the Giants to anything during the last two seasons except for a firmer place among the league’s rebuilding teams.
