Giants’ character-over-talent crusade went way too far

The first crack in the House of Culture revealed itself after the Giants’ eighth straight loss.

Pat Shurmur is going to patch it. The hot-seat head coach is going to hope the foundation put in place for bad times — sturdy so far — holds the roof from caving in because it is too late to have buyer’s remorse.

Janoris Jenkins, one of few accomplished veterans left on the Giants, called out the coaching staff for his usage in a struggling defense. The Packers threw their way to a 31-13 victory by avoiding Jenkins — who stays on the left side of the field and doesn’t shadow top receivers — and targeting the four first- and second-year cornerbacks.
