East Rutherford, NJ -- August 1, 2024 -- Offensive lineman, Greg Van Roten after practice today at training camp for the New York Giants.

The New York Giants are falling apart, and it's not just at the seams, it's all the stuffing too. It's become painfully clear that neither Brian Daboll nor Daniel Jones is the solution to the Giants' problems.

If Daboll isn't going to go, then Jones will have to. Although replacing Jones is only part of the solution as the Giants have to get their offensive line back in working order.

After a hard loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football, let's look at the best and worst performers, courtesy of PFF, from the Week 8 loss.
