Notebook: Coordinators speak; C Billy Price returns
Patrick Graham will be the first to concede the Giants' defense hasn't played as well as expected this season after an outstanding 2020.
He will also be the first to take responsibility for that.
"It starts with me," Graham, the team's defensive coordinator, said yesterday in his final weekly meeting of the season with reporters. "I don't think I did a good enough job. Obviously, when you don't get the wins that you wanted, you've got to do a better job. It starts with me. I've got a lot of stuff to reflect on this offseason to try to get it right – not to try, to get it right. I've got a list of stuff over by my desk on my righthand side of stuff I've got to get fixed. Behind my back, we use dry erase boards that slide, so that backboard has a lot of the stuff that I'm getting on myself about. It starts there."
Safety Logan Ryan said Graham shouldn't assume the burden for the defensive shortcomings.
"I think the players need to execute the plays that are being called," Ryan said. "Just because something doesn't go right on a play doesn't mean its Patrick Graham's fault. Sometimes it's the players fault and it means that you shoulder that part of the game because we're playing the game and he allows some of us to be free as well and use some of our expertise and some of our knowledge and skillset and let those guys play free. That's what Pat allows us to do. So, it's our job to make those plays when we are and when we don't, you just chalk it up to a good play on offense and you keep going.
The Giants are 4-12 as they prepare to host the 6-10 Washington Football Team in the season finale Sunday in MetLife Stadium.
