Pat Shurmur was 15 minutes late to his midweek press briefing before his first game as Giants head coach, and inside the team's auditorium, the speculation from the waiting reporters was instinctive as the clock kept ticking.
More roster moves? An unexpected injury? An electrical fire someplace in the building? Maybe someone should pull the alarm, you know, just to be on the safe side.
The consensus: Something must be wrong for a coach to be that late. Nothing was. Shurmur was just behind schedule, something that happens with busy NFL coaches -- unless, of course, that head coach is the last man to lead this franchise with any degree of success.
