Authentic Kerry Wynn Jersey , 2007 — 4,319 days ago. In some way, shape, or form it is probably only a slight exaggeration to say we have somehow spent around 4,000 of those days discussing Eli Manning and his viability as quarterback of the New York Giants.Today has undoubtedly been one of those days. Just read these two posts, if you haven’t already:2019 NFL mock draft: Do Giants select a replacement for Eli Manning?Giants-Titans “Kudos & Wet Willies” review: A collective failure by the GiantsAs I have said many times, today included, the only opinions that matter are those of the Giants’ decision-makers. If you take what coach Pat Shurmur said Monday about Manning at face value, it certainly sounds as if the coach is casting his ballot for keeping Manning at the Giants’ helm for a 16th year in 2019.Shurmur was asked if he wanted Manning back next season. His answer?“Yeah, I want all our players to be back. I really do. I believe experience matters, I believe that what we’re trying to learn to do -- we’ve grown two games better than we were a year ago here Authentic Alec Ogletree Jersey , we’ve got two more opportunities. When you start talking about roster-shaping down the road, you need to learn how to win again and the experience of playing through adversity. I learned some more about a lot of players yesterday, when we’re playing through a game that felt a little bit like some of the games earlier in the season.”Shurmur was asked if, as he indicated when he was first hired, he believes Manning still has “years” of productive play left. His answer?“Yes, I do.”Finally, Shurmur was asked why he believes that. His answer?“Because I’ve seen him play good football, and I’ve seen how when we have a coordinated effort of protecting him, running the football effectively, and being able to run the ball throughout the game, it helps us. We threw the ball more than I would have liked to in the game that was really one score Authentic Nate Solder Jersey , but seven of those throws were two-minute before the half, and then there were 15 in the fourth quarter when we were down by 17. That skews the numbers. The important thing about yesterday in our coordinated effort was we didn’t get enough out of the runs when we chose to run the ball.”All of that certainly sounds like a coach willing to cast his lot with Manning again next season.The rest of this seasonShurmur said Manning would start this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts“We’re going to do what we have to do this week and then we’ll go from there,” Shurmur said. “Eli playing quarterback, I think, gives us the best chance to win.”Shurmur would not commit to playing or activating rookie Kyle Lauletta in either of the final two games. Lauletta went 0-for-5 with an interception in his debut Week 14 vs the Washington Redskins.“I think Kyle’s got a bright future, but we’ve said this all along – or at least I have, and I believe it – that he’s got a long way to go in terms of doing the things necessary and although he can get in there and function, there’s a lot to learn playing quarterback in this league,” Shurmur said. “He’s got a bright future and he’s made great progress this year, and so it is what it is.” Tom Coughlin wants no part of the spotlight this week.He has declined several interview requests as Jacksonville prepares to open the season against Coughlin's former team, the New York Giants. Coughlin is entering his second year as Jacksonville's executive vice president of football operations Youth Eli Manning Jersey , working mostly behind the scenes.Coughlin's sure to get extra attention Sunday when he faces the Giants for the first time since his resignation as head coach in January 2016."I don't spend any time thinking about that," Coughlin said in April, the day after the NFL schedule was released. "We knew the teams we were going to play. We didn't know the order, so to go to New York for the opening of the season, it'll be an exciting atmosphere obviously. It's Opening Day, so everybody will be excited, everybody will look forward to the opportunity to go to New York and play against a very good football team."The Jaguars enter the season with arguably the highest expectations in franchise history, and the 72-year-old Coughlin has played a significant role in the team's rise from perennial loser to preseason favorite in the AFC South.Coughlin's presence and prowess reshaped every aspect of the team, far beyond setting the clocks five minutes ahead.Discipline, accountability, legitimacy Color Rush Kareem Martin Jersey , Coughlin brought all of them with him when he returned to the team he helped build in 1995. His reputation was established in Jacksonville, where he was the franchise's first head coach (1995-2002) and the One Voice who made every decision — from who threw the passes to who ran the salary cap to what color paint was on the walls.His resume, though, was enhanced in New York thanks to two Super Bowl victories in 12 seasons.As the league changed, so did Coughlin. He became less of an unbending taskmaster, focusing more on Xs and Os than off-the-field nuances. His fingerprints remain on the Giants roster even though he's been gone 2 陆 years."Some franchises haven't won a Super Bowl, and he helped this franchise win two," first-year Giants coach Pat Shurmur said. "He was here for 12 years. A lot of the people here worked with him his whole time here."Shurmur reached out to Coughlin "just to gain some perspective" shortly after getting the job in January."I admire him in a lot of ways for who he is as a man and what he's done as a coach," said Shurmur, who is planning to attend Coughlin's charity gala later this month in New York City. "A lot of what I know about Tom I get a chance to hear about here frequently."Giants quarterback Eli Manning expects to chat with Coughlin on the field before kickoff."Obviously still have a great relationship with coach Coughlin and cherish the time that we had and appreciate those 12 years of him being my head coach," Manning said. "But besides that Authentic Riley Dixon Jersey , I look at this game and say it's the Giants against the Jaguars, and I'm trying to get our offense prepared to go against that defense."Coughlin and Marrone have an old-school team constructed around one of the league's best defenses , a unit that returns 12 of its top 14 players and expects to carry the Jags back to the playoffs.It's also part of the featured matchup Sunday: Manning, star receiver Odell Beckham and rookie running back Saquon Barkley against Jacksonville's vaunted front, All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and two of the fastest linebackers in the league."It's more of us living up to what we expect," Jaguars Pro Bowl linebacker Telvin Smith said. "Even when the show gets started, a lot of people's narratives might change. But ours is not; ours is going to stay the same. ... We expect to go out and be great and dominate games."It starts Sunday in New York, against the Giants and in conjunction with Coughlin's under-the-radar return."Definitely we'd like to win this game just regardless," Jaguars All-Pro defensive end Calais Campbell said. "But it'd feel even better for TC, and we'll try to get it done for him."
