Sometime around 5 o’clock Sunday, the Giants' interim coach was asked if he still had “full confidence’’ in the team's embattled defensive coordinator.

Mike Kafka did not admit this on another Bloody Monday for the Giants. The interim head coach was not going to come out and say he no longer trusted Shane Bowen as the defensive coordinator of a team that does not actually defend much of anything. The closest Kafka came to a critique was this: “The results just weren’t where we wanted them to be’’

The New York Giants hope that outside linebacker Abdul Carter's supposed nap will become a wake-up call for the touted freshman.
