Joe Schoen has cliches down pat as he only takes some blame for losing Giants tenure

But also a lot of other people, too.
Giants general manager Joe Schoen jumped right to two time-tested cliches for the embattled — “it’s not good enough” and “it starts with me” — on Tuesday, but also made it known that he thinks the talent assembled under his four-year watch is better than a 2-11 record in 2025 and a 5-25 record since the start of 2024.
“Defensively, after we were 30th last year at this time, and [with] the addition of Abdul Carter, Paulson Adebo, Jevón Holland, Chauncey Golston, Roy Robertson-Harris, we’re in that same area, unfortunately,” Schoen said during his annual bye-week news conference.
“I didn’t anticipate we’d still be 30th in the league in defense at this point with the addition of those players, and we have to do a better job of executing, a better job of finishing games and I’ve got to do a better job with the personnel.”
The Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll after a 2-8 start and added defensive coordinator Shane Bowen to the carnage after a fifth blown double-digit lead and fifth blown fourth-quarter lead sunk the record to 2-10.
