Less than 24 hours after 11 sacks and a 97-yard pick-six had sullied the New York Giants on Monday night in a 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, it was a tablet toss that very much commanded the conversation in Gotham.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Addressing the media and myriad questions about his sideline frustrations, Giants head coach Brian Daboll was steadfast Tuesday that he and \ufeffDaniel Jones\ufeff are on the same page and his technological outburst was not literally aimed at his quarterback.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“No, I wouldn’t throw a tablet there,” Daboll said Tuesday, via team transcript, when asked to clarify if the table was thrown at Jones. “I just tossed it to the side because obviously it was a little bit of frustration, but, no, I wouldn’t throw a tablet at him.”<\/p>\n

Moments after Jones had thrown an interception that Seahawks rookie cornerback \ufeffDevon Witherspoon\ufeff returned 97 yards for a touchdown, Daboll was addressing him on the sideline. With Jones on the bench and Daboll standing in front of him, the head coach was animated and clearly agitated before he spun a computer tablet to the side.<\/p>\n

Frustrations boil over for players and coaches alike on NFL sidelines weekly, but with the Giants off to a miserable 1-3 start, it was a moment that not only became a harping point for the media, but emblematic of the team’s frustrations.<\/p>\n
