Giants GM Joe Schoen Defends Team's Rebuild

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen faced criticism during his midseason press conference following the team's dismal 2-8 start, emphasizing the need for improvement while asserting that the team is showing progress despite a poor record. He pointed to the youth of the roster and the team's competitive nature in close games, although their 1-5 record in such games raises doubts about their potential for success. Schoen refrained from blaming any individual, including head coach Brian Daboll, while acknowledging the team's lack of talent and the challenges of the rebuilding process. Fans are frustrated by the team's inability to finish games and the performance of high draft picks, with many questioning Schoen's optimistic outlook. The Giants' struggles include a significant deficit in scoring and a historically poor point differential, prompting skepticism about their direction. With the upcoming draft potentially focused on a quarterback, the organization appears to be searching for solutions amidst mounting pressure from a disgruntled fanbase.
