New York Giants News, 5/31: Torrey Smith Critical Of John Mara

The New York Giants mishandling of the Josh Brown domestic violence situation last season continues to come back to haunt them. Torrey Smith of the Philadelphia Eagles took Giants co-owner John Mara to task Tuesday after Mara’s comments to MMQB about why Colin Kaepernick still has not found a job.

Smith first took to Twitter, the spoke further about the issue to reporters.

Here is part of what Smith told reporters:

"I heard he's one of the best owners in the league, so I don't want people to think I'm disrespecting this guy. I'm not," Smith said after practice. "But it's just the fact that he commented about people, the fans, being mad about that but you just had a [kicker] on your team who you were trying to hold onto for dear life until it was too late."

In case you missed it, here is what Mara said about Kaepernick:

“All my years being in the league, I never received more emotional mail from people than I did about that issue. ‘If any of your players ever do that, we are never coming to another Giants game.’ It wasn’t one or two letters. It was a lot. It’s an emotional, emotional issue.”

The 2011 lockout ended after 132 days, and most have since declared the NFL the big winners in the negotiation. With another labor dispute on the horizon, the NFLPA is trying to proactively teach the values of money management so it has more leverage for a longer fight.

"We need players of every generation to really help the young guys understand what it takes to go through some 'labor strife,'" he said. “For the players who went through it in 2011, the union administration and player leadership did everything it could to prepare players across the league. I think it needs to happen again with the same sort of fervor."

Ereck Flowers is Giant with most to prove | ESPN

New York Giants LT Ereck Flowers It's a make-or-break season for the 2015 first-round pick. The Giants showed confidence in Flowers by sticking with him as their left tackle this offseason, despite his struggles last season, when he allowed the second-most pressures of any tackle. They're hoping that he shows significant improvement in his third season. The Giants essentially put the success of their offense in the hands of the 23-year-old, who, according to offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan, looks slimmer this year.
