Phil Simms, Julian Edelman applaud Brian Daboll
Giants head coach Brian Daboll has received a lot of praise for the Giants' performance in the first month of the season.
The latest to jump on the Daboll bandwagon are two former Super Bowl Champions and notable figures around the NFL - former Giants quarterback Phil Simms and former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman, who now serve as analysts on "Inside the NFL" on Paramount+.
"It was a clinic in coaching," Simms said about Daboll leading the Giants to victory in London. "It just shows you, once again, and I think we all know this, coaching is so important in the NFL. Brian Daboll showed that. He out-coached the Packers staff, and the Packers had no answer...
"You talk about Saquon Barkley. They line him up as a wide receiver in a stacked formation, nobody covers him because Green Bay was confused. At the end of the game, with the game on the line, Wink Martindale sends a couple blitzes, nobody picks it up, no answer. The coaching won the game."
Edelman, who was in New England from 2009-2020, has plenty of experience with the Giants head coach. The three-time Super Bowl Champion won two of those rings with Daboll on Bill Belichick's coaching staff, as the coach's second stint with the Patriots came from 2013-2016.
Following Daboll's hire in January, Edelman talked about the good relationship he had with the now head coach when the two were together in New England. This week, the former wide receiver praised the head coach for his ability to stay calm and collected against Green Bay.
"The fact that you have a rookie head coach that goes to London and competes against an NFC powerhouse that everyone's been talking about for the last 10 years, and deals with distraction better than them and goes and beats them? That's coaching," said Edelman.
