has called plays for the Texans and Titans<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cI was happy for Tim. He has a lot of good experience doing it,\u201d Tierney said. \u201cI don\u2019t think there is ever any expectation [to be promoted] with anything like that. When these things happen, it\u2019s, \u2018What\u2019s best for the team?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Shea Tierney addresses reporters Nov. 14. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post<\/p>\n
The Giants are starting a third quarterback for the third time in Tierney\u2019s four seasons in the post.<\/p>\n
\u201cGetting Jameis ready to go \u2014 he\u2019ll do a great job \u2014 and Russ has been awesome throughout this whole thing,\u201d Tierney said. \u201c[Jameis\u2019] energy, his focus, his detail, the experience, him singing and all that happens in the meeting room, that happens all the time. He gives energy to the other guys, he feeds off the other guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dart, DL Chauncey Golston (neck), OG Evan Neal (hamstring), WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) and OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder) did not practice and will not play against the Packers.<\/p>\n
Safety Tyler Nubin (neck) and DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches (toe) are doubtful.<\/p>\n
That could be the entire inactive list unless someone goes on injured reserve, which is a possibility for Neal (zero snaps played this season).<\/p>\n
LB Bobby Okereke (shoulder) and CB Paulson Adebo (knee) are questionable after returning to practice.<\/p>\n
Dart was on the field during media-viewed stretching Friday, his first sighting since he suffered a concussion last Sunday. <\/p>\n
Dart likely is in Phase 2 of the five-step protocol and, barring any setbacks, he could be in line to practice late next week and then play against the Lions.<\/p>\n
The firing of Daboll brought back memories for Giants secondary coach Marquand Manuel, who held the same role with the Jets last year when Robert Saleh was let go in Week 6.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe felt like we let him down,\u201d Manuel said. \u201cIt keeps you up at night. \u2018How did I did not help Saleh?\u2019 And that all kind of came back with Dabes. Let\u2019s just go play the next game. You never know when your last day in the league is, and understanding that taught us a lot about who really were.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jeff Ulbrich looked overwhelmed as he went 3-9 as the Jets interim coach. Kafka is auditioning for the full-time job after interviewing for head coach jobs with eight other franchises since 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a good group of guys,\u201d Manuel said. \u201cDabes and Kaf were right hands, so we know we have to give him our best.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a quieter week, Xavier McKinney\u2019s return to MetLife Stadium would\u2019ve been a bigger story. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tThank you\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
McKinney was a 2024 First-Team All-Pro after leaving the Giants in free agency and has 10 interceptions in 26 games with the Packers.<\/p>\n
\u201cA guy that we leaned on here,\u201d Kafka said. \u201cHe\u2019s kind of the heartbeat of that defense in terms of getting everyone lined up, so we have to know where he\u2019s at on every play.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everything got turned upside down this week for Giants quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney.
