It's a word many players never say: regret.It's not something that's easy to argue with, but today was off Wednesday as the team assembled its first team since coach Brian Double.
“Regret” is a word that many players have never accepted before.
It's not an easy thing to discuss, but from the moment Gian fired coach Brian Daboll.It was because of the first gathering in the center of their team.

Just try, this is the NFL, so it's a business more than anything else.Still, was there a sense of regret that those in the locker room let DeWall go down?
"Personally I do, but that's just me," outside linebacker Brian Burns said.I don't know about everyone else.
Darius Slayton went in a different direction.
"Don't delay, because we tried our best!" I mean, it's not clear that he didn't get anything when we came out, and it's not clear that we didn't get a winner.Isn't that what he did?<If you regret> is a word.
Although the Giants are 2-8 and Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bears was their fourth straight loss and another lost fourth-quarter lead, Slayton said he didn't expect the double to be shown the door.
"It was definitely a shock," Slayton said."Here, as long as people come to work and you come to work, you assume they're going to be here. We never assume someone's going to disappear. It was definitely a shock for us as players, but at the same time we understand the business and how it works."

"You lose a game, and you have to think, 'What can I do better to prevent this from happening?'".
Burns seems worthy of this move.He was in Carolina during 2022 when the Panthers fired Matt Rule.A year later, the Panthers fired Frank Reich during the 2023 season.Burnt was a rookie in 2019 when the Panthers fired Reeve Rivera during the season.
“Yeah, I've been through it a few times.
