New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo insists his players have not quit on him and even believes, as crazy as it may sound, that they can rebound from their 1-7 start and make a late run.

For the first time this season, at least one Giants player has come forward and refuted that, telling ESPN’s Josina Anderson that McAdoo has completely lost the team.

“McAdoo has lost this team. He’s got us going 80% on Saturdays before we get on the plane to play a game, it’s wild. Changed our off day,” the unnamed player said. “He’s dishing out fines like crazy. Suspended two of our stars when we need them most. Throws us under the bus all the time.

“He’s [run] us into the ground and people wonder why we’ve been getting got.”

Anderson went on to add that a second Giants player told her that “guys are giving up on the season and nothing is being done. Guys just don’t care anymore.”

Publicly, the players continue to support their coach. Safety Landon Collins said earlier this week that he doesn’t believe the players have quit, while cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who was previously suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, said it’s the players who deserve to be on the hot seat as opposed to the coaches.

Despite the public-facing support, it’s become apparent that inside the team’s locker-room, the feelings about McAdoo and this season are quite different than what’s being presented when names are attached to the comments.

While McAdoo will continue to deny his players have quit despite mounting evidence — including gameday film — it’s clear to anyone watching that the Giants are a proverbial dumpster fire entering Week 10.
