Giants news Youth Evan Engram Jersey , Let’s get right to your Wednesday headlines.Saquon already becoming a leaderSaquon Barkley is a rookie, but his talent and his personality have already made him a leader in the Giants’ locker room.“I spent a few minutes sitting with him on the plane after the game. I really think some of your younger players can be your best leaders,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “He displays humility, he says the right thing but when he says it, and you all write about it and report on it, don’t you sense a genuine nature to what he says? You’ve got a genuine, competitive guy that can do really great things on the football field, and so those guys can lead naturally by just being themselves. If Saquon comes in every day and every day becomes the best version of Saquon he can become, and he sticks to those principles and that integrity, then of course, he’ll be a terrific leader, and he already has established himself that way.Barkley said Tuesday he felt as if he was in a position to be a leader and is trying to earn the role.“It’s just the way you carry yourself, the way you work. Come to work with your head down, try to do anything you can possible to help the team. That stuff goes a long way,” Barkley said. “Obviously your play on the field goes a long way too, but try to be one of the first people in here, working your butt off in the weight room, asking questions, try to prepare yourself like a pro, like a vet. Stuff like that is what sits well with your team and that’s how I try to continue to grow into that role.”Shepard explains outburstAfter an Eli Manning interception on Sunday Youth Will Hernandez Jersey , Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard had an uncharacteristic sideline temper tantrum. “I really wanted to win that game. That’s the bottom line. I felt it kind of slipping away right there, and some other stuff going on too,” Shepard said. “Everything is OK. I’m getting through it. It’ll be alright.”Like many of his teammates, Shepard said Tuesday that he feels like the Giants are heading in the right direction despite being 1-4.“I’m so proud of the team. The way that we fought through adversity (vs. Carolina),” he said. “That’s the best I’ve seen the team in a while. We’re taking steps in the right direction every week, and guys are doing a great job taking steps in the right direction.”‘Snacks’ on the Eagles’ slow startThe defending champion Eagles might have been expected to run away with the NFC East. So, why a 2-3 start for Philadelphia? Giants’ defensive tackle Damon Harrison isn’t sure.“I don’t know. I think they’re just still searching for – it’s tough to put a name to it,” Harrison said. “I don’t know, they just haven’t looked the same.”Around the Inter-GoogleWelcome to the NFC East where .500 is good enough to be in first placeEven if Washington loses Monday night and falls to .500, it'll be in first place of an NFC East in which nothing is ever simple, predictable or routine.NFL tells Giants they got crucial Landon Collins penalty wrong against PanthersThanks for nothing.That is essentially what the Giants have to say to the NFL office after receiving confirmation about something they already knew: Landon...6 reasons why the Eagles will still win the NFC East over Giants, Cowboys, Redskins | NJ.comDespite their 2-3 record, the Eagles are still in control of their own destiny in the NFC East.Sterling Shepard on his sideline implosion: ‘That’s not me’Sterling Shepard took a look at his actions on the sideline during last Sunday’s 33-31 loss at Charlotte and did not like what he saw. Not at all.“That’s...Giants have become butt of joke and it started with Beckham talkThere was a time when the circus supposedly resided in the locker room of the other tenants of MetLife Stadium, but now it seems the Giants can’t escape from... Trading cornerback Eli Apple and 2016 All-Pro defensive tackle Damon Harrison in the last week wasn't the reason the New York Giants lost to the Washington Redskins.The new-look defense, which was also missing injured linebacker Alex Ogletree, actually was the reason the Giants had a chance to win in the 20-13 loss Sunday that sent New York (1-7) to its fifth straight defeat.It limited Alex Smith and the Washington offense to 13 points, and didn't break down until Adrian Peterson scooted around the right side on a 64-yard touchdown run with 3:06 to play to open a 20-6 lead."I think the guys stepped up," Giants linebacker Olivier Vernon said. "I think the guys that had to step up stepped up and made the plays that they needed to make. We just came up short."With Eli Manning and the offense struggling most of the game, the defense almost came up with a game-changing play late in the third quarter. Safety Landon Collins forced Peterson to fumble on a first-down run from the Giants 17.The ball hit the ground and Vernon scooped it up and ran 43 yards to the Redskins 39 with Washington clinging to a 10-3 lead.Following an incompletion, a pass to Odell Beckham Jr., for a 2-yard loss and a 9-yard pass to Bennie Fowler. The Giants had a fourth-and-3 at the Washington 32.Washington played a zone, as Giants coach Pat Shurmur expected Youth B.J. Hill Jersey , and tight end Evan Engram ran a 4-yard curl pattern. Manning put the pass in his hands and he let the ball slip through his fingers."I thought we had what we were looking for, we've just got to execute it," Shurmur said.On the sideline, Collins' frustration was evident."Every turnover you think is going to be different and I thought it was going to be big, but stuff happens," Collins said. "They got a good defense over there, they're doing a great job over there with their defensive coordinator and their guys that they have over there, and they got the stops."Manning, who was sacked seven times, said no one likes losing. He said the players are working hard and competing, but they are just not making enough plays, especially on offense."We just have to keep fighting," said Manning, who threw for 316 yards but was intercepted twice by safety D.J. Swearinger. "The defense gave us a chance today and played outstanding. Offensively, we have to do our part. We are not scoring enough points. We are playing in close games and we are just not finding ways to win them, unfortunately."Beckham was at a loss to explain what's happened to the team this season. After posting a 3-13 record last season, much more was expected in Shurmur's first season."It's definitely not where I want it to be, it's definitely not what I envisioned this team being," Beckham said of the record going into a bye week. "It's definitely not why I worked the hardest I could have worked all offseason to come back and give my very best. I just don't feel like on Sundays I get do that. If there is any frustration, that's where the frustration comes in. All I want to do is come in and do whatever I can to help this team win."
