Giants players call team 'soft,

Defensive captain Dexter Lawrence II thought the New York Giants played "soft" in a 30-7 blowout loss Sunday to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium.

Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers had a similar assessment after a game where he didn't get a touch in the first half.

"Soft as f---," he said in frustration.

Veteran offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor's assessment indicated a lack of overall effort.

"I personally don't think everybody is giving 100 percent," Eluemunor said.

Standout edge rusher Brian Burns on trailing 30-0 at home off their bye week: "That's ass."

Not exactly a glowing review of what the Giants (2-9) put on the field as they dropped their sixth straight game. It also happened to be their first contest this year without Daniel Jones at quarterback.

Jones was benched at the start of the week. He was released Friday. The "spark" the Giants were looking for from Tommy DeVito wasn't there, for reasons that extend well beyond the quarterback.
