Malik Nabers Met with Giants HC, GM over 'Soft as F--k' Remark; 'I Have No Regrets'

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has "no regrets."

The rookie pass-catcher turned heads after Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when he said the team's play was "soft as f--k."

Nabers revealed Tuesday that he met with general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll but added, "I still stand by what I said," per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. "I have no regrets with what I said."

The LSU product was surely frustrated with the offense's overall performance in the first game since New York parted ways with Daniel Jones.

The Tommy DeVito-led group managed just one touchdown throughout the game, and it came on a short run from Devin Singletary. Nabers had six catches for 64 yards, which marked the fourth time in the last five contests he failed to reach the 70-yard mark.

His last game with more than 100 receiving yards came on Sept. 26 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Madelyn Burke of MSG Network noted Nabers explained Tuesday why he feels it is so important to get involved early when he said, "After a few plays in the offense, after you get hit, it's like alright I'm ready to go."

Those comments come after he expressed frustration Sunday about receiving the ball too late in the game:

The end result was yet another loss for a 2-9 Giants team that is simply playing out the string on a lost season.

Nabers is one of the only sources of optimism, as the No. 6 overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft has flashed his immense potential with acrobatic catches despite poor overall quarterback play. Whoever the next signal-caller is for the Giants will surely benefit from his presence, especially if he improves as expected with more experience.

For now, he will focus on turning things around when New York faces the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.
