He referred to as the Giants “soft as f—” and complained in regards to the play-calling.
“First, second quarter, I don’t get the ball,” Nabers mentioned, per the New York Put up. “Start getting targets at the end. I mean, can’t do nothing. Start getting the ball when it’s 30-0. What do you want me to do?”
Nabers advised reporters to speak to go coach Brian Daboll when requested why he wasn’t getting checked out early within the recreation.
“They come up to me and ask me what plays I want and that was that. I don’t know.”
Even with the shortage of targets within the first half, Nabers’ numbers had been adequate to guide the staff in receiving for the sport.

Daboll did tackle Nabers’ lack of targets in his media availability after the sport.
“We didn’t have very many plays,” he mentioned. “Certainly, had some there dialed up, and they had, whether it’s a coverage designed to, I’m not saying double him or anything like that, just a better coverage for the play in and of itself. But didn’t have very many plays.
“We tried to combine within the run. Began off the sport with a very good run and never a lot after that. The sport received away from us and become a pass-a-thon, which isn’t what we wish to do.”
DeVito was asked whether there was anything specific going on with Nabers.
“No, not essentially. Type of simply going by way of my reads. Type of simply the way it performed out,” he mentioned.
