EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – After one pass sailed wide of a receiver during team drills, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning dipped his chin and shook his head in disgust. It was one of those days. The Giants quarterbacks struggled on Sunday, two days after a disappointing performance against the Miami Dolphins.
Maybe it was the sweltering weather, with the heat index topping 100 degrees. Maybe it was the occasional wind gusts or being down several wide receivers. Or maybe the Giants defense (as evidenced by Friday night’s first-team performance) is starting to meld into a cohesive unit.
