Dennard Wilson opens up on how Giants’ defense can be ferocious again: ‘Mission over men’ | New York Post

Here is a Wilson quote on what makes a great leader from his Q&A with Steve Serby :

He understands, or she understands, that there’s going to be bumps in the road. If you stay the course, and you bring the people with you or even the players along with you to make them feel and make them have ownership of what we’re doing. I’ll listen to the players as well. Sometimes it’s an art to listening and not talking, and you kind of see what they like without diving in. But we’ll have those conversations where it became  our  — this is  our  defense, it’s not my defense, it’s the New York Giants defense. If you don’t have a clear direction, you’re going to sink the ship. Every day isn’t going to be perfect. A true leader can do three things: He can teach, motivate and inspire.

An unusual start to John Harbaugh era could be just what Giants need: ‘Get locked in’ | New York Post

“I look at it like a real opportunity,” Harbaugh said. “It’s going to be a chance to get locked in. It’s a simple place to be, you know.

“That bonding opportunity … guys aren’t going home. They’re going to be with each other into the evening, stuff like that, go to dinner together. I think it’s a real plus for us. I’m excited about it.”

Leaning on experience with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, Giants leaders aren’t just telling Jaxson Dart to run more carefully. They’re showing him | Yahoo Sports

… as new Giants staffers settled in, Nagy queued up clips to remind Dart that visits to the blue tent — in the preseason, in his first start and repeatedly through the season — compromise his availability. The goal is not to eliminate Dart’s confidence and swagger. But the Giants are working to hone their young quarterback’s risk-reward calculus.

And they’re working to consider how to send that message most effectively.

“You can’t just say, ‘Don’t run the football here because you could get hurt.’ You have to show him the evidence,” Nagy told Yahoo Sports during a sitdown interview in June. “‘Where did you take the extra hits? Was it necessary?’

“You have to show them clips.”
