It will be at least another week before anyone knows whether the Great Players-Only Meeting of 2019, which the Giants held on Monday morning, has any effect on what they do on the field. They don't play again until they face the Cowboys on Nov. 4. But the initial reviews of the air-clearing, soul-searching, potentially season-salvaging get-together were positive.
"We accomplished what we wanted to get done," said Alec Ogletree, linebacker and defensive captain _ and one of the primary planners of the meeting _ in a conference call on Monday afternoon.
"We're always there together," Ogletree added. "It's only us who goes out there on the field and plays together. It's just making sure everybody is still communicating, still on the same page, and trying to fix the problem."
