Brian Daboll Declares, “The Giants Are Built for Greatness—We’re Not Here to Simply Play, We’re Here to Dominate!”
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll isn’t here for mediocrity. He’s not just looking for a competitive team—he’s building a dynasty. In a powerful statement that’s sure to fire up fans, Daboll declared, “The Giants are built for greatness. We’re not here to simply play—we’re here to dominate. And trust me, we’re just getting started.”
Daboll’s words reflect the ambitious, no-nonsense approach that has characterized his leadership since he took the helm. While many teams in the NFL focus on merely staying competitive, Daboll is focused on something bigger: a championship-caliber team that will assert its dominance on both sides of the ball.
The Giants, under Daboll, have been on a steady path toward greatness. From a revamped coaching staff to an infusion of young talent, Daboll has made it clear that every move is with a long-term vision in mind. The team is built to thrive—not just for one season, but for many to come. The road hasn’t been easy, but Daboll has cultivated a culture where the goal is nothing less than excellence.

What makes Daboll’s statement even more compelling is the confidence he exudes. “We’re just getting started,” he said. For Giants fans, that’s an exciting proposition. The journey to greatness is often long and challenging, but Daboll is focused on the long haul, developing both players and systems that will keep the team at the top for years to come. It’s not about a quick fix, but about sustained success—a championship mindset that will set the tone for seasons to come.
Since Daboll’s arrival, the Giants have seen a shift in culture. Players are buying into his vision, and the team’s mentality has evolved into one of determination and confidence. While other teams may be content with just making the playoffs, Daboll’s vision goes beyond that. He wants to build a team that can compete for Super Bowl titles year after year.
Under Daboll’s leadership, the Giants are primed to take the next step toward dominance. It’s clear that he’s not just planning for this season—he’s looking far into the future. The Giants are being built for sustained success, and Daboll is the architect making it all happen.
Lions make multiple roster moves ahead of Commanders matchup, is Glasgow playing center in this game?, Detroit loses edge rusher to the Dolphins

The Detroit Lions will soon be getting on the plane to Washington to take on the Commanders, but first, they made some roster moves to get ready for this game. Here's what they did:

Activated S Daniel Thomas
This is a good get-back for the Lions. Thomas had been playing funner really well, and he can help bring some balance to safety on defense with Kerby Joseph being out. This will take all of the pressure off of Thomas Harper, and they can share the load together.
Released S Jammie Robinson
This one is a bit surprising because we know this is a player that Brad Holmes has had his eyes on for a while. If I had to guess, I would guess that he's back with the Lions on Monday when they sign him back to the practice squad. I really think they want to see what they have there, but bringing Thomas back was a little more important than that right now.
Elevated OL Michael Niese from practice squad
It's going to be interesting to see what even happens in this game. Like, who is playing center? We know the Lions wanted to try Trysan Colon there a little this week. Bringing up Niese makes you wonder a little about whether they're actually going to go with that in the game, because when Campbell was talking about potential moves early in the week, Niese was one of those names he brought up. In addition to guard, Niese has also taken snaps at center in the past two training camps. We're going to find out when guys get on the field for warm-ups on Sunday.
Dolphins poach Andre Carter from Lions practice squad
This actually happened a couple of days ago, but it really flew under the radar with other news going on. The Dolphins poached Carter and signed him to their 53-man roster. We haven't actually seen Carter play for the Lions. He'd been here since August, but never got elevated. So this is not a monumental move here.
