Giants coach Ben McAdoo remains arrogant and unapologetic
Ben McAdoo
Ben McAdoo  clearly is going to go down swinging.
âUntil I had all the information  I was going to err on the high side of trusting the player  protecting the player â  McAdoo  said Wednesday.
Giants generally agree with  Ben McAdoo  suspending Janoris Jenkins
McAdoo  however  canât be so removed from reality not to understand that there was a better way to handle that situation than lying that Jenkins was âexcused for personal reasons â when he in fact hadnât even spoken with the man. And  McAdoo  also has to understand that when he stands there on Wednesday and makes no apology for his premeditated mistake  it is implicit that he most certainly would do it again.
Of course   McAdoo  hopes  he  wonât have to repeat this song and dance  but then again   he  admitted suspending two players in three weeks was ânot something that going into the season Iâd ever thought Iâd have to do â so who knows? Bad things usually hit in threes  anyway  right?
And  McAdoo  alluded to the fact that  he  is still not confident  he  controls the narrative of  his  team  as much as  he  desperately tries. When asked if  he  would discipline Eli Apple and Paul Perkins â who also missed Mondayâs practice due to travel reasons but had called  unlike Jenkins  to alert the coach â  McAdoo  answered:

Sure enough  Apple later was asked if  he  was being disciplined and said: âSomething like that.â
Now  say this for McAdooâs indefinite suspension of Jenkins  which defensive captain Jonathan Casillas said is expected to only last one week: Whatever Jenkins did to earn it  it was bad enough that not a single Giants teammate came anywhere close to defending  him  on Wednesday.
Some actually went as far as using Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie  suspended in Week 6 for walking out of the facility  as an example of a much less severe transgression than whatever Jenkins did. Casillas actually said âhopefully thereâs no spill-over in emotions coming from (Jenkins) or Coach  McAdoo  next weekâ when the corner returns  so it sounds like there could have been a heated confrontation or exchange  even if by phone.
Strong safety Landon Collins defended  McAdoo  and flat-out said the head coach hasnât lost the team and agreed with the coachâs comment that DRC and Jenkins are âisolated incidents.â
âWe have not lost respect for him â Collins said of  McAdoo . âWe continue growing with him and trying to be a great team and stay(ing) together  because our back is against the wall right now. We canât fight against each other. If we fight against each other  things are definitely going to go bad.â
âWhether I support  Ben McAdoo  or not  heâs the head coach and I think heâs doing what he thinks is best for the team â Casillas said. âAnd I want Jackrabbit to be here  everybody does  but he violated the team rule and coach had the call.â
 McAdoo  continued to find ways on Wednesday  though  to confound with contradictory or unintelligible rationalizations  including  his  argument for why  he  feels  he  hasnât lost the defensive backs room: âWe had a good day of practice â  he  said.
