Giants win preseason opener despite Drew Lock’s uninspiring night
NY Post
Memo to the Giants quarterbacks: When Malik Nabers is open — that might be quite often — throw it to him.
Coach Brian Daboll kept almost all of his starters off the field for Thursday night’s preseason opening 14-3 victory over the Lions at rain-soaked MetLife Stadium but he decided to put Nabers out there, wanting to give the explosive rookie wide receiver a few snaps in a live game.
On the very first play, Nabers got deep and was running by himself on a go-route, but Drew Lock did not spot him and kept the ball for a 5-yard scramble.
“Drew thought he saw something with the safety coming down on the tight end so he pulled the trigger … he tried to make the smart decision,” Daboll said.
On the third offensive series, Nabers again broke free, and again, Lock did not deliver the ball, instead escaping the collapsing pocket and scrambling for no gain.
The Giants certainly hope Nabers continues to get open and that when Daniel Jones, their starting quarterback, gets in the action, he fires it to him once the real games are here.

SAINT PAUL, Minn. — With the Rangers hovering over the bottom of the NHL standings, it’s easy to root for whatever outcome would most likely lead to general manager Chris Drury announcing Gavin McKenna’s name on the draft stage at KeyBank Center in Buffalo this June.

SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
