At the time, both Taylor and Daniel Jones were placed on the injured reserve and the Giants had very little depth behind Tommy DeVito and Matt Barkley.<\/p>\n<p>Considering Barkley\u2019s recent departure to Jacksonville, it makes sense that Big Blue reunite with Eason. The former fourth-round talent out of Washington may not be the answer at quarterback, but he\u2019s promising enough to settle into a developmental role over the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>A 6-foot-6, 230-pound gunslinger in college, Eason has always had the physical size and arm to be an NFL QB. Unfortunately, he has not been able to figure out the mental aspects of the game \u2014 like poise under pressure and decision-making.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Giants re-sign QB Jacob Eason to the practice squad. <\/p>\n<p>Seems like a contingency.

I don\u2019t know why I wouldn\u2019t,\u201d NYG defensive coordinator Wink Martindale replied. \u201cLike I said, you have those conversations and it\u2019s at the end of [the season]. After this last game, you sit back and you can reflect. You take the emotion out of it. The emotion, the grind, the stress of preparing every week, and you sit back and you talk things out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka was much briefer with his choice of words. \u201cWell, my only focus is on today and this week and preparing our guys as best we can for Philadelphia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>As for special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey \u2014 who\u2019s been under more fire than anyone throughout the year \u2014 the ST coach voiced that he \u201calways expects to be back\u201d being that he\u2019s got one more year on his contract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll cross that road when I get there,\u201d McGaughey added, noting that \u201cwhatever happens, happens.\u201d He also acknowledged that potentially being fired or replaced is commonplace for the NFL, no matter what position you hold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Expect Giants Head Coach Brian Daboll to Prioritize Youth in Week 18<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re expecting younger Giants prospects to get more playing time in Week 18, you might be disappointed on Sunday versus the Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d Coach Daboll told reporters when asked if he\u2019s going to approach playing time any differently this week. \u201c[We\u2019ll] just try to do what we can to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for playing spoiler against Philadelphia, Daboll did not publicly voice that the Giants\u2019 focus is motivated by that either. \u201cNo, just try to do the best we can to prepare and play as good as we can to try to win the game,\u201d he replied on January 3.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s who Daboll is as a head coach. He\u2019s not going to give you much in the pressers, but he\u2019ll up his intensity on the sidelines \u2014 as we\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see how much Week 18 means to the Giants on the field on Sunday, and veteran snap counts will certainly be a big part of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Giants had a third quarterback at practice on January 4 according to New York Daily News reporter Pat Leonard and ESPN\u2019s Jordan Raanan.
