Sterling Shepard came to the defense of NY Giants head coach Joe Judge and his old school tactics, in the strongest possible way
Three recently-signed NY Giants players have retired since training camp began, and wide receiver Sterling Shepard had a strong message for any players or anyone outside the organization blaming Joe Judge and his hard practice tactics.
“If you don’t like it, then you’re welcome to leave,” Shepard told reporters Wednesday.
Judge has famously sent players — and coaches — running penalty laps around the perimeter of the field for mistakes during his first two camps as Giants head coach, and Tuesday ripped into his team before sending them on multiple sets of 100-yard gassers with sets of 10-pushups in between and proceeding to cut practice short, following a full-team fight.
